MAIN ISSUE IN HONOLULU CASE
 IS SHOWED BACK
Guilt or Innocence of Dead Hawaiian Bobs Up in
 Selecting Jury

HONOLULU, T. H., April 6.-Al- though Mrs. Grace Fortescue and three navy men are on trial for second degree murder, the question in the court today was the guilt or innocence of the Hawaiian, al- legged assailant of Mrs Massie.
 On the first day, Judge Charles IS. Davis ruled this had no bear ing in the present case but the question was raised again today by Prosecutor Barry Ulrich when he asked a prospective juror if he would find the defendants guilty whether he believed they had a right to do what they did or not,
 Clarence Darrow, defense attor- |ney, was on his feet immediately and said that is not the law.
 Judge Davis said the question would be decided when it became necessary,
 Ill-feeling was revealed when a Hawaiian, prospective juror, said he had expressed an opinion that he believed the defendants ought to be shot.
 A tentative jury of twelve has been seated in the box.

 Tt is practically impossible to import good liquor there and they make their own drink, olSolealao from plant, most Of it being poison and drives people crazy. 2 Dyer said
 In his report, Richardson said there was extreme laxity in law enforcement, administration of ills- tice was insufficient, constituting an invitation to crime. and he recommended the Federal Govern ment assume closer responsibility of law and order, this to be accom- plislled by Presidential ap1S.slss ment of heads of the Prosecution and Police Departments and lead ing to the Island Constabulary
