EXCUSE OF ROSE

Senator Charles F. Chillingworth,
who went on a trip of inspection TO
"Bi0odt6 Wn" Wahiawa Wednesday
night, reports the place running full
blast with liquor flowing freely and
immoral women plying their profess

Not even the provost guard is on
duty ar Wahiawa, according to Chill
lingwcrth. and with drunken soldiers
and civilians staggering about the
place, some with bottles in their
hands in little parties on the road it
is far from a healthful place in which
to live. ........
Chillingworth says he understands
the provost guard has been recalled
to the post on account of the war
scare, but he says this order has not
restricted the soldiers from going to
Bloodtown to load up on illigitimately
sol dbooze and to run amuck with no
kind of official control.
Sheriff Rose said in regard to the
report made by the grand jury regard
ing former inmates of Iwilei that. it
was of course his duty to arrest any
of these women if they were in Blood
town, although he did not know that
they were. t. ~.
He admitted that some of the wo-
men might be there but declared that
he had no: police officer stationed in
Wahiawa now as badly as one was
needed and averred that he had been
trying to locate for some time a good
man to go on duty there. -
r. IF we send officers down there
from here" he says, the people set
up cry of the law before we get
anywhere near them. What we need

At Banquet Board

A humorous story is being told at
the Young Hotel about f. b. Silver

Fl. Sheen, who recently arrived from
the Mexican border regarding a din

Wednesday night.
Sherwood likes the festive board
himself and generosity to his own
palate oyerlooks nothing for his
friends. The table groaned and then
sagged with delectable fruits. relishes
and banquet dishes. Apparently moth
ing had been forgotten.
The major followed the examples of
the other guests and ate heartily, but
evidently something was wrong. 1t
bothered Sherwood; finally when the
feast was nearly finished the host cast
an anxious eye at his guest and in
quired:
Major, what's bothering you. If
there's anything you want, say So"
The major avoided Silverwood's
eyes as he replied: 81 don't like to
kick, Daddy but where is your ham
and eggs?r

TO ASKFINGER
PRINT SYSTEM

A system of finger-print identifi-
cation of criminals for the territory
will be provided for in bill which
Representatives James King Jar
rett intends to introduce in the legis-
lature. The system will be similar to
the one now in use in the leading
cities on the mainland
Jarrett's plan is to secure an ap-
preparation to pay fer bringing Il
finger-print expert to &Eonolulu to
school the local police and detectives
in the working of the system. and
to start the local system on a work
ing basis. Such a school. says Jar
rett, should be held at the prison,
and each county should pay its pro
rata of the expense to send a dele
CATION of police officers to Honolulu
to take the course.
The only system in Hawaii today
for the Identification of criminals is
by photographs" says the representa-
tive-elect, "and / believe that, with
a finger-print system in vogue. much
more efficient work could be ac-
complished by police and detectives
than under the system now in use. ;"

who is believed to have fallen off the
vessel Wednesday night and drowned
divers from the Inter-Island drydock
at noon today began working in the

manager of the shipping department
OF H. Hackfeld & Company, the local
agency for all the German steamers
tied up in port. to the scene OF the
supposed tragedy. Dragging of the

It is now generally believed that
Captain Schlueter tried to walk from
the Kraetke to the honeymoon over
a wooden bridge connecting the two
vessels and fell from 1t. Supt. ]. Alex.

said Ballentyne, this morning, but
