W remember, that just few
hours before Governor Harris took
the oath of office, that an act had
been committed, that has no presi-

of people think, not only of the laws
of Georgia, but the laws of the
United States when he set his judg

land. When he committed the sent

Slaton, committed a more henious
crime than Frank. So you see when
Harris went into office the people
did not feel that they had any laws,
since they had been nullified and set
aside. 1t is considered by most peo-
pie of Georgia that if we have any
laws at all, we have one for the rich
man and the jew, and another for
the poor white man and the negro.

Gas Corporation Asked Why Il
$ Has Not Complied With Re-
quirements Of Franchise

The public utilities commission ers,
through Chairman Charles r. Forbes,
want to know why the Honolulu Gas
Company has not installed fifty street
lights in the different sections Of the
city as provided In the franchise. The
reply made by the officials OF the con-
Germ was that until the company went
into the street lighting business. Il
did not think Il was compelled TO
furnish this service. 49, E.a.,
A portion of the section referring
to the erection Of lamp posts IN the
public streets, reads as follows: "And
provided, further, that If said w. w.
Dimond shall. manufacture and supply
illuminating gas, as well as gas for
fuel, and shall erect lamp posts as
aforesaid be. shall on requisition OF
the superintendent OF public works,
furnish free. Of cost, fifty street lights,
and thereafter shall each year furn,
ish five more In addition TO the mum.

The company's understanding of
the section, did not seem to appeal to
the commission which win look into
the matter. v &c..
For the information of the commits
sioners they, were told that the county
and the gas company has had much
correspondence on the subject of street
lighting, and, that the correspondence
was at his, disposal at any time.

meeting Of the utilities Commissioners

FREE PORT IS, TAKEN

The first step in making Honolulu a
free port for certain foreign. ships, has
been taken IL is believed. In "a letter
to the chamber Of commerce from Geo.
Mex. Mcclellan, il is reported that the
commissioner of navigation thinks that
the vessels entering at this port for
bunkers and supplies need not comply
with the regulations Of the ssamen 5
act regarding the shipping OF crews,
and that they may also forego the nee
essity of entering and clearing.
1t is thought here that buhkers are
as much supplies as water or food, and
that If the law should be suspended for
the taking. Of bankers it is very pos
sible that the shppIies win be rated as
the coal Il how and the vessel given
the privilege Of the port without, the
restrictions heretofore placed, on them.
The matter viii be taken up by those
most interested and. an attempt made
to have q proper ruling made in the
case so that there will be no doubt
