Si 3 3:30 O'CLOCK EDITION IX 3683 HONOLULU. TERRITORY OF HAWAII. FRIDAY. MAY 3. 1907 Fkioe 5 Cents Rttt vrMNC IN Jl liUJ TEST By Grand Jury CONSTRUE LAW TO Governor Carter this morning received from Kailua copies of the Anal report of the Grand Jury of the Third Circuit.

The report is a warm one and shows up the police of Kailua in no enviable light. The Grand Jury finds that no arrests for drunkenness are ever made, unless the is' actually fighting or otherwise disturbing the peace. These arc the! instructions given to the police cers, thus practically ignoring the, law or construing it to suit them selves. Minors and drunken persons ere allowed to loiter around the sa-'oon premises, and no arrests of these offenders have been made. "Many of the saloons are conduct-id on premises where merchandise is This condition is deplorable, particularly in its injurious effects on the youth, and, in our opinion, is in direct violation of the hiw.

"Saloons, particularly in Kailua Mid Kainaliu, are flagrantly disregarding the law in allowing drunken I ersons to remain in their places of business, sometimes throughout the night, carousing and shouting, Unhing the neighborhood, and police haive made no attempt la the i to abate this nuisance. "The illicit selling of liquor is being carried on in every district in this circuit, but no nrests have been made for this offense." The Grand Jury also makes a rec- ommendation regarding jury duty and exemptions therefrom. Under the law, notaries public, agents to grant marriage licenses, pound mas-tcis, (special policemen, foresters, land appraisers, members of the Hoards of Registration, probationary ('fleers and a host of other officers tire exempt from jury duty. "Jury duty in this circuit," says Ihe Grand Jury, "is so arduous because of the distances and lack of tiaveling accommodations that many have sought such offices to avoid duty. "We would respectfully suggest that the only remedy is a change in the statute by the-Legislature which would definitely limit the right of exemptions to only those civil officers 'hose duties would bo seriously interfered with." in forwarding the copies of the re- pert to Governor Carter, Judge Math- ewman suggests that it was the idea of the Grand Jury that the Governor might revoke some of the commis- MAOF IN NEW YORK THE KASli Ltd OF 'NEW LAWS SUIT THEMSELVES s'ons which were obtained simply for evasion of jury duty.

"An illustration," he says, "is the commission as agent to grant marriage licenses ii-sued by the Treasurer to Rudolph on S. Domkovlcz. He boasts of the exemption and at the same time declares he has not Issued a single license." The Judge expresses his appreciation of the assistance given at the recent term of court by the Attorney General's Department, represented by Deputy Attorney General Sutton. Mr. Sutton, who returned tills Morning from says that when the Grand Jury made its report, the police promptly went out and arrested an old white man who is always drunk.

The matter of the division of taxes i.nd license fees, which was the cause of the trouble between the Governor and the Legislature on the last night of the legislative session, will probably be brought, before the courts at an early date, it will be up to the Counties to bring the action, although the Executive branch of tho Government makes the first move by efusing to make any move in the matter. Secretary Atkinson stated this morning that, acting in accord-! nee with the advice of the Attorney General, he will refuse to receive the Act or to publish it. Under the law no Act becomes a law until it is published. Section G9 of the Organic Act provides that the Secretary of the Territory shall record and preserve all the laws and proceedings of (Continued on Page 2) A few fine thoroughbred fox terrier pups are for sale.

The Value Ot Confidence In no line of business is the buyer's confidence of mere importance than in the selling of clothing. The dealer who attempts to convince the buyer that his goods are the best, and that his place is the place where the best could be obtained, must see that the facts conform to bis statements, and that his goods are in every way up to the standard. He had better never try to sell to a man than to mislead him or to exaggerate for the customer will quickly discover suoh practice of misrepresenting merchandise. There is never danger of a protest and always a certainty of full value received when a coat or suit is recognized as CORRECT CLOTHES FOR MEN, which has the endorsement on the label, Alfred Benjamin Co. flllliR I II 3 EL, MAIN 25.

I COR. FORT and HOTEL. Out Plans Are lie Mil I Delegate Kalanianaole and Secretary Jack Atkinson are working today on plans for the entertainment of the Congressional party. They Mate that they hope to be able to select the Honolulu reception committee some time during the day, al though this had not been done up to 12:30 o'clock. The Executive Committee for none of the Islands are yet made out, though Maui and Hawaii have sent in their lists.

These lists, however, will be revised by Cupid, and it is piobable that changes will be made. A long list of committeemen has come in from Maui, including an executive committee, but it appears that this list is not satisfactory to all concerned. Secretary Atkinson received a letter this morning from N. S. Williams of Maui, in which the writer stated that he understood tnat a committee of several hundred neuibers had been appointed by some one without due authorization, Mid he wanted ft understood that Maui was going to appoint its own committees and would not recognize any other.

He stated that himself and C. li. Wells had been appointed a committee to draw up a report to be presented to a meeting of the citizens, which would be called as soon as a wireless should be received from Secretary Jack Atkinson informing them as to the time of arrival of the Congressional party and the" number ot its members. The Secretary sent him a message this morning, stating that the party would arrive on the on the morning of the 8th, and that it consists of liti men and 1 8 women. Meantime, Honolulu is anxiously awaiting the announcement of the name i of those to serve on the local tee, considerable dissatisfaction is being expressed in some quarters at the list not being made up.

G. W. Smite stated this morning that if the list were not made public l.y tomorrow morning, the Chamber of Commerce would feel called upon to take matters into its own hands and appoint a committee. Plans for the entertainment of the isitois are still indefinite. Governor Carter has announced that he and Mrs.

Carter will tender a reception to the Congressional party on the 10th, but this appears to be about the only definite arrangement made for their entertainment. Admiral Very has written Delegate Kuhio that he is making preparations for receiving the transport with fitting ceremonies. It is his intention to have the guests assemble in the Naval Station so that the salutes may be fired. The Admiral lias also offered the tug Iroquois for a trip to Pearl Harbor, and Kuhio lias accepted the offer. Fine Job Printing at the Bulletin.

"The Standard Oil people will lupin immediately on extensive improvements amounting to from to $100,000. This is only the start, and there's every reason why our people should expect, more, because Standard Oil; usually does things right, wi 11 once gets started. think you will find that it, will nieiv its money among the citizen of contractors and workmen, end that is more than some of our 'oeal people do "I believe that the loss of rents from the Territorial warehouse will be more than made up by the in-ci eased income from advanced property values resulting from the Standard Oil enterprise. "The property in the vicinity of the new structures has been assessed something like $750. an acre.

On the basis of what the Standard Oil had to pay, the assessed value will go to something near $5,500. "Now that Is worth while from the Government standpoint, and there Is good business all along the line for the contractor and the workmen."

Tho new license law is apparently also doomed to run the legal gauntlet.

it is the clause of the law which provides for a license for barbers which causes the trouble. This is a new proposition, and the tonsorial artists of the city do not intend to submit to it without a Dalit. "I am very much surprised that such an intelligent body as the legislature oti Id pass such a law," said Frank Pacheco, the proprietor of the barbershop' on Fort street between King and Merchant street. "Under the United States constitution no license can be Imposed on a mechanic, and we mine under that class. They might us well try to license John Hughes ami his car buildera.

Yes, the barbers will certainly have the iaw tested, and if the others won't come in with me, I intend to have it done myself." Ill Genzo Moramoto, the man in the trial marriage case, was this morning tound guiliy of adultery by a jury in Judge, Dole's court: and was sentenced to three months in Oaliu jail. Tho woman, Asayama, pleaded guilty recently and is now serving a jail sentence. This is the case In which the woman on arriving from Japan, was, according to prearranged plans, married to a fellow countryman. Hut she apparently took hi. a "i'll.

and within 24 hours concluded tluu care lor the bargain. So she ran away wall another Japanese, Moramoto, and married him. But the stern law does not regard trial marriages with a complacent eye, unless they are followed by a divorce. Hence the troubles Asayama and Moramoto. Mrs.
