Is the Oahu prison a penitentiary or
a jail?
F. W. Hankey raised that question
in his argument in the case of the
Kinney libel Buit against The Republican
before Judge Wilcox of the District
Court Monday.
Webster's dictionary, which Is a
pretty good authority, says a penitentiary
is "a house of correction in which
offcederc are confined for punishment
and reformation, and compelled to la
bor - a state prison."
1 .. same authority says a jail is "a
prison; a place for confinement for
etfnfr debt, while a prison is
defiwed k "a. building for the
or mtn custody of criminals, or
thoce accused ot crime, and others
committed by due process of law; a
jail."
In'his argument Mr. Hankey claimed
that-what is commonly kuown as the
Oahu prison was a penitentiary ana
that it could not in justice be callou
anything else. No doubt many peopit
were surprised at this broad assertion,
for It is the prison to which common
oifenders, such as drunks from the police
court, violators of the various regulations
and laws appertaining to uit
city of Honolulu are sentenced.
That it Is not merely a workhous
is evident, for all people convicted ol
felonies, even to the extent of uiuruet,
are sentenced to the Oahu prison. U

prison, and tnat is what it is in facu

since the 14th of June who have been
connned there illegally.
The old compiled laws of 18S4 provided
tnat "the minister of the interio.
should Imve the power to erect suca
suuauie prisons, jails, station house
and houses ot correction as may ut
necessary, etc.," and chapter la of tn.
Civil Coue ot the Republic granted tne
same power to the attorney general.
The rules governing prisoners at the
Oahu prison were prepared by jnt
board of prison inspectors, not jail in
pectors. And tho regulations printeu
for uie guidance of the guards call u
the Oahu prison. From this it is vcrj
evident that it is not a mere Jail.
But it is in these "Rules Governing
Prisoners" that tho character of
Oahu prison as a penitentiary stanaa
out. Ihey will be a revelation to man
people of the city and of the Territory.
They provide regulations as severe j
those of any penitentiary in the Unites
States. They provide for convict garb
for all inmates of the prison.
They provide that the inmates
shall march with lock step,
nnd In the list of punishments the
provide for flogging by the jailer IN

Did Kaapana's Grand Parent Los
His Nose in a Spirit of Levity,
Hunger or Malice of
Forethought.
The quality of awa was ethically and
socially and many other ways
in Judge Humphreys' court room
yesterday. The intoxicating features of
.he intoxicant were most interestingly
aiscussed. How much of the stuff if
jmbibed it would take to produce the
stages of hilarity, moroseness, song,
.ance, comatose-
ess and final annihilation was des-
anted upon at length. And
.arly how much of the disturbance Jf
mbibed it would take before a reveler.

ore he would lose all knowledge that

nose.
Now Kaapana's grandfather, his nose
jandaged like the hand of a pugilist,

he was intoxicated. He Aas

John Hcapili was the leader of one
crowd numbering tea urchins. The

banded together to whip Hcapili an-i
his rubbage hunters. This crowd had
declared its intention in boy language
to fall upon John Hoaplli and smite
him sorely until he was no more fit
to inhabit this world. Yesterday they
laid in wait for him and almost caunt
him on his way home from the fish
market. John saw them, however, in
time to make tracks for his home and
got within the four walls of his house
before the gang could catch him. The
would-be destroyers loitered about and
John bethought him of a small revolver
that was In the house. Possessing
cf it he marched out of the
house and confronted his enemies, inviting
the lot or any one of them to
step up and be filled with bullets. His
invitation was not accepted, but the
revolver flourishing was reported to
the police, who made a descent on the
warring factions and brought them to
the police station.
None of the lads are over 15 years
of age. Hoapili is about 14. He declared
to the deputy sheriff that as
the other boys had threatened to kill
him, he would have shot at them nad
they attempted to carry out their
threats.

Attorney A. G. M. Robertson appeared
for Uenson, rimith & Co. His
contention was that the law regulatiug

Jldrits was made inoperative by tho
j. game act creating Hawaii a
Ihe Hawaiian law allows duly li-
.ausedselieis of alcohol to draw but 150
allons"bf alcohol each year from tne
custom house upon the payment of ?
x gallon duty.
There is no duty on alcohol now, as
ooaics noin tne States and is man-
factured there, consequently as the
i.stonis house is out of the control of
idwaiian law and the sellers Import
.rect, the law regarding- the drawing
jf but 150 gallons from the custom
iouse is inactive.
Under the Hawaiian law the
general was directed to cause to
e methylated the alcohol in his custody.
Ihe laws of the United States do not
.-strict the sale of alcohol so long as
lie seller has a license to sell liquor.
Under the Hawaiian law the sale of
alcohol is restricted to physicians, ind
hen in quantities of not more than a
Oallon at a time.
As there is now no official here ;o
xethylate the alcohol, the pure article
s sold in place of the methylated
To methylate alcohol It would be
necessary for a firm to take out a
license, which would cost 5250.
Sheriff Brown admitted that parts cf
J Hawaiian law regarding the sale
of-alcohol were made Inoperative, but
Maimed that that part of the law regulating
the quantity to be sold at a
sale and the party to whom it
ihould be sold was still In force.
Judge Wilcox held that the contention
of the prosecution was correct and
fined the defendants $25 and costs.
Attorney Robertson noted an appeal.
Attorney IcClanahan moved in the.
case against the Holllster companr
that the case be dismissed, as the
act had expressly repealed tne
Hawaiian law regulatine hf sr Ie of intoxicating

overruled.

.he Wounded Missionary and Party-Lost
All They Possessed in
the Uprising- of the
ifongolians.
The story by the Rev. J. Goferta,
je returning missionary, publish! i
es'erday's Republican, was of 3li
osorblng Interest that a second
of the remarkable recUal
erewlth given:
Mr. Goforth told about their ugly
at Kanyang. He said:
-They told cur servants we wra !
. be killed that night and advU '
iem to leave us. Oae man eleav'
ut. but the other two men and one
stuck to us bravely. Tea womau
ace when sheltering a child
as threatened with death and sh
iid she would guard the little
har life. One of our China boys
so bravely defended a child at he
iril of his life. We saw that we wrc
jlng followed and decided to leave, is
d might as well be killed on tha rtwi
i in the Inn. The mob had seen begging
the Catholic mission there for
.uie days. It had been deehiod. we
?rd, that the brigadier-general, with
.1 his troops, should go out and
everything and leave nothing
to the foreigners,
'ihe people said these orders wr
jei Peking and that all the
were to be killed. Our departure
s inaae at 1 am. Mr. Jameson as
exe a day ahead of us, and so out of
s trouble. Vhm we had got out-e
the south gate It was discovers I
at Mr. Gnuiuis and Paul?, (my soc
.re missing. We sent a man back to
ok for them and holloaed, it wa
and that Mr. Griffiths and Paul had
.t the cart and we feared they
Mr. Griffiths had only his socU i n
tae tiiue. e halted for one aa I a
.if hours, but got no word
.an that the carter had seen Un:rn
ight In the southern suburb. It en
.ngered the whole party to rma.n
nger and we saw signal lights
at the south gate.
We left one of our five carts for the
.sslng ones and went on. Before -
id gone twenty 11 every soldier had
ft us. Then the carters refused to gr
u and were going to cast us off in tbe
ad and go back. This caused a great
uwd to gather and a man of some r
..onslblllty inquired the cause. He
as' very angry with the carters an 1
ild he would have them beaten if ttu
.d not go on. He came soma distance
Ith us. After he left us men w;.h
nlves and swords stopped us agmn
ad again, snatching up anything thy
uld lay bands on.
"Our people were all In tholr
clothing and the children wrf
i rags. This excited some pity an.l
no man who came to rob ltd us
irough three different places and yr
our amah. My pith hat, spbt
iy the sword cut, was snatched from
y head and when I tried to regala f
was torn to pieces. We next got t
"atlcnlu, a big market town sixty
om Nanyang, and here I met two m
ho knew mc. They at once earn t
ar help and their friendly attitode t .
good effect on the crowd. When r
entioned that Mr. Griffiths and P-;'
ere missing they promised ta do -icy
could to find them and sent
en with us, who took us safely o
Islnyehsln, 20 11 south of Naayau,
a the afternoon a messenger
saying that the missing ones ha '
rrived at the place we bad Ictt an ..
'lat wheelbarrows would be sent '
leet them and that same night thv
ejolned us.
"Mr. Griffiths reported that oa lh
Isht we missed him he noticed the
toldiers were acting suspiciously an-l

ad better walk slowly behind the
arts and that It would be better to
