TRUCTS JURORS
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock,
Judge Dickey convened the grand
jurors for the special term of
"'' ' court, and instructed them as
follows:
, , ' GUNTLKMISN 01' TUB GRAND JURY:
There can be no legal convic-
' tion in this Territory for any of-
feuse punishable by imprisonment
for a term exceeding one year
- without presentment or indictment
; by a grand jury.
' The grand jury is designed not
onlyw3A a means of bringing to
,t trial persons accused of crime up-
on sufficient grounds, but also of
protecting persons against u n
founded accusations, whether pro
ceeding from the government or
', d. individuals. You have therefore
as grand jurors, a dutv to society
' unler which you shall require
pirties against whom there are
just grounds upon which to charge
-' the commission of a crime, to be
. ' held to answer thereto, and a duty
to the individual also, to protect
him from prosecutions under in-
( ' sufficient charges.
' Various district magistrates of
the county have found cause to
believe that certain persons have
committed crimes and committed
them to jail until you examine in
to these cases and either find in
dictments or refuse to do so. These
matters have a first claim upon
your attention. You are also re
quired to examine all other matters
brought to your attention by the
court or the county attoniey. You
are not limited to these matters
however, but may also examine
into any other alleged violation
-of law that may come to your
knowledge, either in the course of
'' . ' voiv.iivesti$?ations o,f matters
fflft iSWbsvatimisVor Such as ' may
be brought, before you through
your members.
1 , You will hear the witnesses for
', . ' She prosecution, or as maytof these
witnesses as you deem necessary
! . and if. i n vour judgment, the
i evidence of such witnesses, uu-
explained and uncontradicted,
would warrant a conviction by a
trail jury, it will be your duty to
I find an indictment. You will not
.- permit accused persons, .or their
, attorneys or witnesses to appear
! before you. Because of the partial
character of your investigations
in hearine only the testimony of
the prosecution, you must weigh
well the testimony produced and
in arriving at a conclusion as to
its truth or falsity, may take into
consideration not only the state
ments of a witness, but its manner
or testifying and appearance on
the stand, as well as the inherent
nrn 'oaNHtv or improbability of
. his vStimonv.
. " You need not, however, use up
' , your time in hearing cumulative
testimony. The hearing of more
than one witness to prove a given
v fact, if you give the testimony of
' such witness full weight and cred
it, and i t alone would in your
f , judgment justify you in finding
that there is probable cause o
r believe that a trial jury would
; , convict, is nn unnecessary t a x
upon your time and patience and
' mi unnecessary cost to the tax-
' pavers of the county.
You may obtain subpoenas from
' the court for witnesses. The county
attorney will be ready at all times
to assist you in your examinations
will examine witnesses and draw
up indictments for you. You may
also, yourselves, examine all wit
nesses and may have such iuter
nreters as you need. Hxcept the
county attorney, interpreter and
the witness under examination, no
person s,ia11 be Permitted to be
..rcAi'tit at anv of your sessions
and you must exclude all persons
including the county attorney
fmm voui presence while you
deliberate and when you vote
Any indictment found by you, may
1. xet aside it tins rule is violated
The sessions of a grand jury are
yeoret because it would be a hard
ship to anv one against whom un
founded charges are brought, if
such charges should be made pub-
and in order chat there may bet impossible to get anything,
e utmost freedom of disclosure j The trouble lies in the scare
of crimes and of discussion by

order that the danger of escape of
accused persons before arrest and

valuable to growing cane. Water
had gotten so low on some planta

source of much anxiety. Now
however, gulches are roaring full
and the growing crop looks very

The Hanamaulu Theatre
Hanamaulti has perhaps the
most modern show house m the
Territory. In arranging the build-
n g, Manager Hermann Wolters
nd Engineer Andermann, hit
upon a scheme which nas an
modern theater boxes backed clear
off the. stage. On each side of the
entrance.to the building, a railroad
rickhasi,beeiu construotedtf-the
tracks leading, up to within fifty
feet of the stage. The trains ap
proach the building and at a given
ignal, the immense doors,, slowly
swing open, and the tancy, open-
top, upholstered cars, laden with
happy theater goers, come gliding
nto the house, coming to a stop
high above the heads of those on
the lower floor. Iiach car is in
charge of a conductor who looks
after the comfort of the occupants
and who arranges foi transporta
tion of i t s passengers to their
homes at the close of the per
formance. The theater was open
ed last Friday evening and in the
special train theater boxes were
many prominent Hanamaulu peo.-
ple and press representatives.
Being taken to the theater in a
luxuriously appointed car, whn.li
conveys you to the very stage, and
there remains until you get ready
to go home again, is an inovation
which is certain to prove popular.

L,ast Sunday's games concluded
the 1912 season, with the Kilauea
team champions of the first series,
and the Mcllrydes, possessors of
the second. According to rules
and regulations, the two champions
will now have to cross bats for the
two best out of three games in or
der to decide as to who shall claim
honors as champions. A meeting
has been called, at which final
arrangements will be made for the
final contest. We regret ur iu
abilitv to stale to our readers, posi
tively, when and where these game
will be be pulled off. From a pro

Typhoid In Makaweli
A case of typhoid fever is re
ported from the Makaweli Hospi
tal. Another report has it that one
h as been discovered l n Home
stead. Waimea citizens have been
cautioned as to the conspicuous
drinking o f water as a suspicious
case in under surveilauce there.
Off For Vacation
Mr. R. W. T. Purvis a u d
daughter Silburn, leave this aftei
noon for a vacation of nine weeks,
most of which will be spent in
South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
They will also visit the sou who is-
a student at Lehigh. Miss Purvis j
will enter an eastern preparatory
school, and Mr. Purvis will make
the return trip alone. Miss Purvis
is one of our most popular girls
and was guest of honor at one of
the most elaborate social events of
the year, given recently at the La-
wai Heach House, the same
being
'a special farewell paitv.
One of the most significant won
ders of modern Agriculture is the
discovery, adaptation and develop
ment of new plant products com
mercially valuable. Of late years
the Agricultural Department a t
Washington has been devoting si
great ileal of attention to this with
marked success. Men of expert
intelligence aie continually ran
sacking all parts of the world in
search for new or valuable plants
and sending them to the experi
mental sti.tions for trial and
adaptation. In this way many
valuable acquisitions have been
made and vast possibilities have
been suggested for the futuie.
A bare outline of these vi.lual le
(lis overies would run to great
1 nglh, but a few of them may be
nutitioued. New varieties of rice
ol gixat prom se came from Asia,
tvo new potatoes from the mouii
t tins of Peru, the original home
ot the )0 a o. ni w varieties of
oranges that will stand cold, a
lemon ftom the Himnhivi'S that is
n o t injured by severe frost, a
valuable persimmon from Japan, a
fine fruit well worthy of cultiva
tion here, soya beans from Man
churia, with a varied and very
significant value. One kind fur
nishes paint oil another milk and
cream and even butter, it is said,
and they are all of great value for
creating humus. From Shantunj
in China comes a luscious peach,
of which our Haw; iian variety is
probably a degenerate offshoot;
fnjin the South Sea Islands, three
new passion fruits of which the
Samoan granadilla is probably one,
already known and prized by us.
Amona the rest-our'.fikala or- wild

asa fnut'of great promise. For
size, beauty and bearing qualities,
it is the prince o f raspberries,
bdng often as large as a small tea
cup. It grows in great profusion
on the mountains of Hawaii and
Maui and when improved by cul
tivation will be a prize indeed.
During bve-gone ages we have
pretty much been contented to en
joy the meagre fruits and other
food products of our fathers. The
time is already at hand when we
win immensely improve and en
rich them, and a very enchanted
land of agricultural possibilities
lies before us.

Extremely Happy
'Iain so happy! The date is
now set for the Koloa concert. It
is to be held on the evening ot
August 24 next Saturday com
mencing at 7:30 p. in. It will be
on Mr', fancy s oeautittil lawn.
Full moon has been provided for
the drive to and from the concert
and the tickets only cost 50
cents standing room but 25 cents,
and as the lawn cm only hold
2,000 people, you'd better come
early.
"After the concert, there will
be refreshments served. What
will happen afterwards, where
there are young people, fine music,
a lovely lawn and a full moon, I
will leave to your own imagination.
But, say, won't it be scrump
tious?" Waimea People Abroad
A letter from Mt. and Mrs. H.
C. Brown of Waimea informs this

spent in the vicinity of Yosemite
and Yellow Stone. "When we
get our Flanders well in hand,"
writes Mr. Brown, we propose to
run down to Santa Cruz, San Jose
and Palo Alto, and will sail on the
Sonoma, Aug. 27."
