mot JUSTIFIED IN PUTTING MORE
WATER TONUUANU SYSTEM NOW

continue TO furnish water for potable
purposes after written notice from the
territorial board of health that the wa.
ter, the source of supply or system OF
distribution Is not free from contain
nation or pollution, and that the wa.
ter is in the opinion Of the board of
health unsuitable for potable purposes
and dangerous to public health"
That Isl the reply of Murray to the
criticism Of the Board of Health ami
other authorities that Nuuanu water
is unsafe and unfit for human con-
sumption. why doesn't the board
condemn II, them? he demands. They
have the power. all that would be
necessary would be the scratch of a
pen and II would be shut off. Reports
they made to the loan fund commits
sion yesterday declare that il is only
luck that has prevented typhoid or
cholera epidemic. If the water is as
bad as that why doesn't the board stop
its use?"
Murray declares that the loan fund
commission has gone off on tangent
that II has missed the issue altogether
in its excitement over the question of
the sanitary condition of the reservoir.
"The whole purpose Of the proposed
diversion of water from Hillebrald
glen into No reservoir is to furnish
more power for the electric light plant
and cut down the use of OIL" he de-
clared I'VE proposed to put the wa
ter in the mains, it Is true, as it was
presumed from the evidence of sani-
tary engineers that putting more wa
ter in the Reservoir would make il
better than il is now. But if necessary
the water can be run out into Nuuanu
stream after it has been used for pow
er. II, doesn't have to be put into res
ervoir No. and run into the mains"
Use of the water from Hillebrand
glen would save the city at least $4,000
year in oil bills and the whole ex-
penditure of 10000 for the Hillebrand
project would be repaid in five years,
Murray declares.
9. X. harrison, government hydro
grapher, says that several mainland
cities with whose water supply he is
acquainted are not getting az good
water as comes from Nuuanu. Soon
er or later Honolulu will have to use
that water. It's growth will make its
use mandatory" he says. The more
water there is in q reservoir the bet
ter it is. All water from which there
is a possibility OF contamination, no
matter If the chance is but one in ten
million, is insanitary. The best way
to make the surface water better is to
put more water in il"
He fayors filtration plant but the
governor doesn't at this time.

GAMBLING CROWD
(continued RON page one)

Chang Chan testified before the COM
mission that he did not furnish the
$500 cash bail in the case of Alma, it
was Chang Chau who requested that
the money be surrendered to him, he
having secured the Endorsement Of
the Chinese who actually paid the bail.
Chang Chau was sent to the sheriff's
office, where a check was already
waiting, but he seemed very much dis
appointed because it was made out to
the man who paid the bail. The cash
Ter in the sheriff's office wouldn't
change the check, saying that it had
to be made out in favor of the person
who actually paid the bail, and the in
dorsement on the bail receipt made no
difference to the sheriff's office.
The detective department is dis
gusted with this form Of settlement.
To those familiar with the workings
of cilefa, they say, it is extremely diff
cult to nab the bankers who are at the
bottom of the game, and here's clean

guilty, they had sufficient evidence to
convict, even without the testimony Of
Gray.
Garden Explains.
Suspended sentences on pleas of
guilty were given in these cases" said
Deputy Attorney w. T. Garden today,
for the reason that the bank which
was raided by Gray and the detective
force was operated from the time of
the making of the affidavits against
Gray in the city attorneys office to
the time of arrest, solely as a trap.
Under these circumstances it would
have been injustice to punish the de.
PENDANTS or to distinguish between in
diyiduals running the banks and those
buying tickets when the entire bust
ness was carried on for that reason.
Furthermore a suspended sentence
does not in any way operate as free
dom from penalty for the reason that
if these defendants engage in any
further violation Of the law all that
win be necessary will be to file an aft
dayit through the prosecution, where
upon they can still be brought up and
sentenced for these past charges.

\ resident of Milton, VT, writes the
springfield, Mass, Republican asking
.or an explanation of the terms ''un-
.,uist -, liberal and coalition -, as
ased in British politics, and that pa
or answers as follows:
The unionist party was formed in
lay, 1856, when over 20 liberal mem
Ders of Parliament went over to the
opposition because of Gladstone s in
reduction of an Irish home rule bill.
Although they called themselves lib.
raj unionists, they became in effect
members Of the conservative party,
and "unionists and conservative
came to be used almost interchange
ably. \ few years ago 'unionist was
adopted rs the official title of the
fusion party, but conservative was
at no time dropped out of use and of
late seems to have gained ground.
Thus the unIonist party embraces both
conservatives and former liberals who
oppose home rule for Ireland.
The liberal party is the successor
to the historic whig party, Just as the
conservatives are the SUCCESSORS of the
old-time tories. IN the 10Th century
the conservatives were predominantiy
ariatocratic and agrarian, the liberals
prcaontipantly middle-class and com
merrial. To some extent these lines
have bocn kept, but social changes and
the broadening of the franchise have
given the liberal party two wings, So
that it includes both liberals and radi-
Gals, besides 4 qualified utilization with
the iahoritcs and The Irish nationalists,
which since 1906 has given it a MAORI
tv in the house of commons. The "coali-
ton which has now broken down. was
not party but a cabinet formed OF
representatives of both parties. After

under war conditions an opposition
party could not exercise effectively its
function of criticism, in Nav, 1915.
rcorgeuizcd his cabinet so as to in
clude liberals and unionists in fair pro-
portions.
The new ministry now formed by
the radical leader, David Lloyd George.
is only in a limited sense a coalition,
since most of the liberal members of
the ASquith cabinet declined to serve.
and now are the leaders of what in the
formal sense is the opposition. though
Mr.. AS4uth has promised cordial sup
port to the government.

Medical science has made wonder

THE TROUBLE WITH THE COURTS.

The Rcformer has received from n
vcll-known Caledonia county attorne,
a letter expressing approval of this pa
per $ comment on the schedule of rates
recently adopted by the Caledonia
County Bar association. Our GOOD
friend SAYS he believes the rates are
just, reasonable and business-like ana
adds that the effort to secure an apree-
ment signed by the members Of the as
ISOLATION covered a period of II wears.
In addition he makes the following
pertinent statement, which we believe
is worthy of reproduction in every
newspaper in the state:
"Thc trouble with our courts is that
they are not on business.Iike basis.
What We need is shorter opinions,
earlier trials, and time limit within
which Judge of any court shall hand
down an opinion. These are some of the
troubles about which the public talks.
and perhaps they have a right to talk.
and we lawyers are all at fault, inelud-
ing the writer"
Evidently the lawyers of the state
need a get-together campaign within
their own ranks. Frankly, we are
rather doubtful, however, of the re.
form coming from within. One great
trouble with lawyers and with law pro
cedure is procrastination. We have had
on the bench in Vermont in the past
decade some judges who could get more
