SQUAD 5 HAS ITS WAY.
NO MILITARY RULE FOR THE CITI-
ZEN GUARD MEMBERS.
To Have Sew Division In Palama and
Kalihi-Elect Their own
Lieutenant.

The officers of the Citizens
Guard met III the Police Court room
at 1880 Friday evening. The cap
tain, division lieutenants and most
of the squad officers were present.
The protest of squad 8, fourth divi
sion, against military regula-
tons" and the decision of division
l against the court martial clause
were read. After considerable dis
cussion the Objectionable clause
was struck out.
The communication from squad
embodied suggestion that new
division, to be known as No. 5, be
formed in that district. The local
ity, Liliho street and neighborhood,
is considered very impo: tant one,
and contains ample material for a
strong force. 1t was decided to
grant squad 8 the privilege Of form
ing a new division, provided they
could send in membership list
of at least ninety men. This
complied with they will
have the privilege Of electing their
own officers as they see fit. The
decision will be considered at
meeting OF Squad 8 to be held
early next week. A member said
last night that a hundred men
could easily be gotten to join in
the new division,
Captain McStocker suggested
that division lieutenants be made
captains. In some respects they
were now practically captains, but
he thought it would be better to
have them assume entire response
bility for their divisions, reporting
only to him as the senior or COM
commanding officer. Much of the
hard work now devolving upon the
head of the organization would be
properly distributed. Some of the
lieutenants thought the advantages
to be derived hardly worth the
trouble of remodeling the rules,
so the subject was dropped without
action.
Several minor matters received
discussion and adjournment was
taken subject to the call Of the
captain.
