IDEAS FOR THE CHARTER
INDEPENDENTS WANT OFFICES
ELECTIVE.
Would Have Councilman for Every
Three Hundred Voters to Hold Office
one and Two Years.

The Independent Party charter COM
mlttee has decided to conduct secret
sessions in future, so what ever is
known of the consideration of the mea-
sures for establishing a municipal form
of government for Honolulu will have
to be taken second hand. This decision
was reached last night at the meeting
of the committee, when the report of
the subcommittee which had been ap-
pointed to draft a skeleton charter
made its report. Previous to the report
being read the representatives of the
press were excluded from the meeting
the members going into executive ses-
sion.
The report was presented by the ma
jority of the committee, j. X. Kaulia,
J. H. Wilson, f. c. Rowe and ]. Poe
poe being the sponsors. The findings of
the subcommittee were not of much
length the principal object being to de-
termine the most essential features of
the city government. 1t was suggested
that the limits of the city of Honolulu
be those of the district r." hona This
municipality was to be divided into five
wards. A very liberal representative
was favored, the report suggesting that
there be one councilman or alderman
for every 800 voters. These officers
were to be elective, part of them TO
serve two years and part, for only one.
Among the other officers were the
mayor city engineer, assessor, and city
/ justices, to be elected every two years.
No mention was made Of a city at
/ tOrney. In the detailed provisions for
] the report the street department was
considered the city being given authori-
| ty to improve, open and close streets
and keep them i'm proper order There
were other provisions in the report but
| the most important was one which sug-
! gested asking the Legislature for an
appropriation with which to acquire the
water works. No reference was made
it is understood to the appointment OF
the various subordinate positions un-
der the departments, the evident inten-
tion of the trainers being to have these
appointive.
| Considerable discussion was given the
report No changes were made In its
! provisions however, the sentiment be-
ing that the members of the principal
committee should be given more time II
which to consider the measure. A re.
port from the minority of the sub-com
mittee may also be made and the sub
committee on the country districts is
also expected to announce the result o
it's deliberations In view of this fac
a further discussion was postponed un
til next Monday night when these re
ports may be received.

WILCO&S DAY OF ASSAULT AND
BATTERY CASES.
Bandaged Heads and Swollen Faces
Before the District Judge This Morn
ing-Cases Disposed Of

BlaCkened and swollen eyes, bandag-
ed heads and bruised bodies abounded
in the police station this morning 1t
was day of assault and battery
cases, with Cinnamon apparently get
ting the worst of it. one An Hoy had
received the worst drubbing. He was
in the dock, charged with being on the
premises of another at night time with
out lawful excuse. All Hoy had an eye
at which all gazed in atOnishment, won
dering whose fist had done it. The man
is said to be Kamuha, on whose prem
ises the unlucky defendant is said to
have been found.
Officer Needham sat among the wit
nesses With a large white bandage on
his head, where John Benson is alleg
ed to have struck him with a beer bot
tie. August Martin als) nad a ban
dage on his head, made necessary by
having a plate broken over it, by one
Raphael Prada. In the station below
another Chinese, with a head that was
almost covered with blood, waited for
a warrant for a native from whom he
had tried to collect for a cup Of coffee
in kakaakO restaurant. The native
had hit him with a brick. Tom Carey,
charged with assault and battery on
Quong FOok Tai and d. Kauhaa, who
was said to have attacked a woman
named Kamahele, made up the list Of
cases of physical violence
Benson was not ready for trial and
his case went over officer Needham's
wound is getting along well and he
is ready for duty again. Benson plead
ed not guilty.
All Hoy's case also went over. He
looked like the complaining witness in
an assault and battery case, and it is
said that he will be by tomorrow. He
told the judge he wanted a days time,
and gOmnnpn bail him out. Tom
Carey said he was so drunk when his
alleged assault took place that he did
not know anything about it, He knew
some witnesses who were better in
formed and wanted them sent for, so
was given a days time. Kauhaa and
Kamahele made up their quarrel. 1t
appeared that both the man and the
woman had been drunk and that
they had quarrelled and then buried
the hatchet. The case of Raphael Pra-
da, after a long trial, resulted in a fine
of So and cost.

TERRITORIAL RULERS MEET
HOME RULE LEGISLATORS IN
CAUCUS.
Begin the Daily Meetings to Decide
The Policy of Independents in Both
Houses of Legislature.

The first caucus of the Independent
Party members of the Legislature was
held this morning in Foster hall, There
was a large attendance, practically all
of the various senators and represen-
tatives being present. Taking the cue
from their charter committee of the
night previous, the members decided
to hold a very close executive session
The work at the morning session was
principally preliminary. 1t was decid-
ed to hold the caucuses daily until
the legislature meets, the intention
evidently being to have all the dele
gates well acquainted with the various
measures upon which they are to vote.
The matter of the chairmen of the SEN
ate and assembly was broached but not
definitely determined.
1t was decided to first diccuss the
measures affecting the government of
the territory. After definite policy
will have been arrived at, the consid-
Grafton of various appropriations and
bills of a quasi private character Will
come up.
At the conclusion of the morning ses-
sion the delegates adjourned to the re-
sidence of Mr.. Kailimai whsre luau
was served The deliberations of the
caucus were resumed this afternoon
1t is likely that the caucus will be held
twice a day for some time, as vast
number of measures will come before
the body for it's consideration.

INDICATIONS OF POISON
DEAD SAILOR SUPPOSED TO BE
j. SHAANAN.
Was Going to Join a Brother in Hilo.
Doctors Trying to Find the Supposed
Poison.

The post mortem in the case of the
man found dead in the Sailors Home
has developed indications that he was
killed by poison. Until such indications
were found there was little reason to
suppose that there was any other
cause of death than apopleXy or heart
trouble, but if the completion of the
chemical tests being made by DR.
Shorey should result in the proving that
death was due to poison, the police
would be face to face with another
mystery The identity of the man is
still unknown. He answers the descrip-
ton of one j. Shaanan, a sailor who
arrived here last Sunday on the S. S.
Miowera.
The dead man is spoken of as a
sailor, about 35 or 40 years of age and
of foreign BIRTH and witnesses before
the coroner's jury have stated that
he came on the Miowera, second class.
Shaanans name is among those
in the second cabin, and it might easily
have been mistaken for "Samues'
when spoken to Captain Bray, manager
of the Sailors Home. Shaanan was
native of Denmark, 40 years of age
and sailor by profession.
The coroner's jury met again at noon
today, to hear further evidence in the
case, but was not able to finish owing
to the fact that DR.. Shorey had not
had time to complete his search for
posons. DR.. Pratt states that the post
mortem showed the deCeased's heart to
be considerably affected by disease,
but not enough to constitute cause
of death Traces of some kind of irri-
| tant poison We're found, and DR.. ShOrey
/ is now trying to find out what the
poison was.
| r.. L. Straut, who was a passenger on
the Miowera, testified to having talked
with a passenger who is supposed to
have been the man VINO went to the
Sailors Home and died there. This
man answers the description of Sha-
anan. He stated to Straut, that he
had a brother who was employed on a
paper in HilO as a printer, and that
he was going to Hilo as soon as a
steamer went from Honolulu. That
would have been today and such a
statement shows that the man had nc
idea of suicide at that time. He com
planned of heart trouble. He was a
passenger from he Sound, where, since
he had stopped going to sea, he had
/ been engaged as a fisherman. To the
purser of the vessel, he gave his oc-
cupation as that of a sailor, as is showr
by the ships papers.
Captain Bray, manager of the Sailors
Home, could not give the jury any new
light on the matter. The deceased
came to the home on Sunday after
noon, shortly after. the arrival of the
Miowcra, and engaged a berth for two
nights. During the night when he dice
a sailor in bunk near by heard groan
ing.

CONFUSION OF TONGUES
WORK FOR INTERPRETERS IN
THE POLICE COURT.
Chinese, English, Hawaiian, Spanish
and Portuguese Needed for the Prada
Battery Case-Plates were Thrown.

Judge Wilcox spoke Hawaiian and
English, Captain Fox Spanish and Eng
lish interpreter Ferreira Portuguese
and English, officer All on. Hawaiian
and Chinese, and the witnesses were
yariOusly Versed in all the languages
mentioned, in the Raphael Prada bat
terry case this morning. BY means of
various translations and retranslations
the facts were slowly brought forth,
showing how Prada had made true
aim with a plate at one August
Martins head, after Mrs. Prada
had aimed a plate and missed, as a
woman should when she throws things.
At one time when All Cheong was on
the stand, the testimony was being
handed about in diverse tongues by
about half dozen people. All On told
it to the Judge in native the judge re-
peated it in English, Captain Fox told
the defendant in Spanish and Martin
learned it from Ferreira in Portuguese
When the defendant asked the witness
a question, it went from Spanish to
English, then to native and then to
Chinese and back again
Martins head was heavily bandaged
as a result of Prada having broken
plate over it. The two were dining
with Mrs. Prada iii Kakaako resort
last Sunday, when Martin, who had
been drinking began throwing bread,
declaring he wasn't hungry. Some of
the Dread went INTO MIS-. GIdud soup.
She preferred to put the bread in her
self and threw a plate at Martin AS
she missed, Prada himself took a try,
and Martin was laid out on the floor
with a big cash in his head.
Julio Miguel de Santos testified for
Martin, giving about the same story as
Martin himself He said that Prada
had sternly ordered his wife to throw
the plate several times before she final
II did So For the defense the witness
were Eduardo de Casso. All Cheong and
the defendant Raphael Prada.
Judge Wilcox thought the defendant
guilty but said it was not a very serious
case. Some of the evidence showed
that Martin had been making trouble
and had wanted a fight, before the
plate struck him and the defendant
was fined only $500 and costs.
Prada and wife learned the verdict
from Captain Fox and Martin got ii
from Ferreira, while All Cheong tried
to pump All On, who had to talk native
to Deputy Sheriff Chillngworth before
he knew anything about it.

TOOK ALL THE BLAME.
All Hops Generous Efforts to Assist
Countrymen.

All Chin, All Hop, All Mo and All
Wal, four Chinese who were arrested
in one cottage, for having opium un-
lawfully in possession, last Sunday
night, were tried all at once this morn
ing in the district court. The arrests
We're made by Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth, who testified against the four.
The defendants tried to place all the
blame on All Hop, who cheerfully ad-
mitted that he was the owner of all
the opium and all the pipes that We're
seized, but All Chin was found guilty
with him and the two were fined $50
each.
All Chin, All Wal and All Mo testified
that All Hop owned all the opium. All
Hop nodded approval, and the judge
was evidently invited to find the one
defendant guilty and let the others go
free. Deputy Chillingworth testified
however, to having seen some of the
drug in All Chins hands. All Mo and
All Wal We're acquitted. Attorney
Brooks appeared for the defendants.

MACHINERY ATTACHED.

Last Tuesday Deputy Sheriff Haysel-
den, of Wailuku, attached the pump
ing machinery of Maunalei Sugar
Company on the island of Lanai to
satisfy judgment in favor of the Ris-
don Iron Works, of San Francisco, for
little over $4,000. The sale will take
place on February II.
When judgment was first obtained
the Iron Works announced that they
would not press It, but the failure of
business operations on Lanai has con-
vinced them that they had best look
out for their money. Railroad ties,
other material and growing cane are
being sold to satisfy claims against
Maunalei.
