To the Proctor following may be
laid the blame, largely, for the re-
suit of Essex Record.
A very poor guess. The result
may be laid to the Mccullough fol-
lowing and its methods in the pre-
convention campaign, and to the Glenn

REPUBLICANS WILL
CAUCUS AND PREPARE
BILLS FOR LEGISLATURE

Committees of the Republican Central
committee will, at a meeting today,
consider what is to be done in the mat
ter of securing the best results from
the victory of Tuesday The plan will
be to request the senators elect TO get
together and call in the members of the
Legislature to meet later if possible,
and then submit a list of the subjects
which may be the basis of the legisla-
tion of the coming session.
There was at first an attempt to have
the various trade bodies asked to sub
NIT proposals of laws they might want.
as we'll as the lawyers, and this course
may be followed later when the com
mission gets down to work. AS it now
appears the headquarters are daily
filed by men with ideas to present, and
it is hoped that out of all there may
come plan which will lead TO the
actual preparation of the measures. SO
that there viii be only one thing be-
fore the legislature, and that the pas
sage of the most needed laws.
The committee will also consider the
matter of ratification of the election.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-11-07

There are some favoring the calling to-
gether of all the people in mass meet
ing, but if there should be any great
demand for another form of ratification,
such as feast it may be had. There
are many drawbacks in the way of a
luau, for the immense number of peo-
pie is factor, but the subcommittee
has not met as yet, and what it will do
is conjectural.
There are many other measures than
the city and county bill to pass at the
coming session, the lawyers having al
most new system of jurisprudence, the
labor men a series of laws. the hack
men are. out for protection. and it is
expected that there will be a close hard
struegle to secure the best for each sec
ton Il The Territory.
The senators from the other islands
may be asked to come down alone to
hold eaucuses over the course of legis-
lation, and to decide upon what Is need
ed the most and how to secure it. THIS
would mean that they would have
chance to consult, and make up their
minds ard would result in the expedit-
ing of 6uE.ness.

chapter of tragedy to the many hap
penings of Oahu Prison.
This is Woods third attempt to Sc
cure his freedom. On his last attempt
he was free of the grip of the law for
ten days and made his escape from
the same stone quarry as he did yester-
day, adopting exactly the same tactics
as he did on Thursday. On the former
occasion he hid in the lantana thickets
and gave the officers big chase before
they secured him. He was finally found
to be on Punchbowl and as he was
armed some shooting wasSdone by both
police and convict Deputy Sheriff Chill
lingworth got within striking distance
of Woods and in rapid exchange Of
shots the convict got a bullet through
his hand a few minutes later he gave
up.
Warden Henry in speaking of the oc-
currence last night stated that the
three men We're the most desperate he
had in the prison. He declared that
Woods and Ed" Williams would COM
NIT murder after murder if they had
an opportunity TO use such means to
secure their freedom, but he thought
that Bob" Williams was not as tough
a man but had been led on by the other
two. He stated that every effort
would be made in the prison to pre-
vent the three men from damaging any
of the guards and that when they are
sent out to the quarries again they will
be heavily enough ironed so that it will
be an impossibility for them to escape.

Home Rule candidates for the legis-

the election, which gave to them only
five out of twelve members from this
island Papers were tentatively pre-
pared yesterday, and will be today sub
employed. The basis for this contest.
which may be only the first of a series,
lies in the action of Candidate Samuel
K Kamakaia, in making affidavit to
facts which he considers entitle him to
go into the Supreme Court with his con-
test.
While nothing has been done as yet in
the matter further than the prepara-
torneys will be asked to take up the
question today, and they may be sue
cessful in making out case at once.
There were many rumors yesterday
concerning the matter, but it did not
take form during the day owing to the
failure of Kamakaia to secure his attor-
neys. The Home Rule candidate made
the following statement of the matter
and the circumstances last night after
the meeting of the Home Rule commit
tee, which he attended:

Damages.
CLAIM BREACH
OF AGREEMENT
Alleged That Waterhouse Refused
to Finance Egan and Frear's
Building schense.

Henry Waterhouse G. Company, a
corporation, was sued yesterday morn
ing by the Capital Building Company,
by ]. J. Egan, its president, for the
sum of s25.s37.5o, damages for breach
of contract
lengthy petition specifying the
causes of damages is filed by the plain
tiff which asks that the defendants
Henry Waterhouse and A. B. Wood be
cited TO answer at the February term
of court.
Der, 1901, ]. ]. Egan and Philip F. Frear
being the owners of certain leases at
Hotel and .Alakea streets and desiring
to erect a building upon the premises
applied to the defendants to finance the
proposition, and it was agreed to ad-
vance the sum of $4,000, for which the
said defendant was to have the privi-
lege of acting as agent for the building
and receive commissions for it's renting.
The plaintiff ]. J. Egan, was at that
time owner of notes made by G. M.
Whitney, which he offered to deposit
as security with defendant, but that the
latter in furtherance of the building
scheme, offered to negotiate the notes,
and this plaintiffs allowed with the
understanding that the advance of S10,-
600 was to be made.
The petition further sets out that
these notes We're negotiated and that
the firm of Waterhouse & Co. retained
$1,000 as commission, to which no OBJ
lection was made by the plaintiffs.
After this negotiation of notes, it is al
legged that defendant took no further
interest in the building scheme and
continually raised objections to the
plans proposed, and sought to delay
the building plan in various ways. FL
baliy when plaintiff threatened to break
off negotiations, it is said, defendants
promised to agree to terms satisfac-
tory to Egan and Frear.
Thereupon the Capital Building Com
pany was organized and took over the
leases and it is alleged that the defend

FUTURE OF
HOME RULE
is QUESTION

What is to be the future of the Home
Rule party?
This question was put before the ex-
ecutive committee at the close of an
all day meeting last evening, and the
chairman, Makainai, in submitting L.,
told the members to take it home with
them and consider it well, so that there
may be full expression of opinion at
the meeting next Thursday
The meeting of the Home Rulers
yesterday was one filled with argI-
ment. 1t was shown that ther= was no
hope of securing the return OF the del
egate or the election of a majority of
the legislature There was a long de-
bate over the pushing of the alleged
charges of dishonest practices in the
two districts, but everything was left
in the charge of the two men who nave
been making the investigation.
Delegate Wilcox made several short
addresses, telling of the fight that was
made, and of what may be expected in
the future He was, on the whole,
philosophical and showed no rancor
in defeat, saying that it was the for
tune of war and politics and that the
people must not despair. He announc-
ed that he would leave for Washington
in the China on November Is, and that
he would show that the measures he
has advocated would be for the good of
the people. Faith in the Republican
party's promises was withheld
There was long talk over the work,
in which Candidates Motley and Aea
Joined, and some reports from outside
districts were read. The absence of
Senator Kalauokalani made it impos-
sible for the members of the commit
tee 10 finish their consideration of the
delayed matters of the campaign, and
these will come up at the next meeting

So Cruel.

Twelve Of the young ladies of our
town have organized basket ball
team and will make arrangements
to have the weekly games in one of
the halls. Some of the members
are in favor of allowing the general
public to attend the games, while
others, for some reason which can
only he imagined want to exclude
the men entirely. 1t is to be hoped
that this matter will be settled in
favor of the men, for nothing would
have more OF a tendency to develop
a liking for manly sports in many
OF the men of town, who are sadly
in need of physical exercise, than
to watch crowd of twelve agile
maidens chasing the festive basket
ball around hal. And then they
might even get advanced enough to
wear-but what's the use of think
ing about it, as usual the man will
get it in the neck and will have to
hang around outside until the ex-
element is all over. Poor man.

If Sour, Move Away.

There is no reasonable excuse for
man living in a town if he doesn't
like it, says an exchange. If you
have no word of commentator to
say for your town, its institutions
or its people, emigrate. You won't
stop the course Of events by going
away, neither will your carping crit
icism cut any figure if you remain.
The church bells will have the same
musical ring, the dogs will play just
as briskly, the fish well bite just as
we'll, and the pure air and bright
sunshine will have the same health
giving properties. Speak good
word for your neighbors ii you can
if you can't, don't everlastingly en-
large on their faults. If you have
become thoroughly sour and dis
gusted and can't see any good in
your town, move away; go'some-
where where you can be suited.
