INAUGURATION OF
GOVERNOR CARTER

= Governor George R. Carter will take
the oath of Office in the old throne
room, Executive building, at II. o'clock
tomorrow morning. After taking the
oath Governor Carter will deliver
short inaugural address.
Chief Justice Frear will administer
the oath.
There will be no military display.
Governor Carter yesterday did not even
anticipate the attendance of the band
but the public is invited to attend.
Places in front will be reserved for Of
ficials, judges of the Federal and Ter
ritorial courts, consuls, etc.
Early yesterday morning Governor
Carter received an answer to his in
quiry of Secretary Hitchcock, as to
whether his cabled instructions OF the
previous day meant that he was to be.
sworn in before his commission ar
rived.
Take oath now,' was the message.
On receiving this definite command
from Washington, Governor Carter
communicated with the Republican
Central Committee, soliciting its rec
concentrations for appointments to Ter
ritorial offices that the Governor has
the power of filling. There will likely
be little if any delay in making ap-
pointments after the Governors in
auguration. II, E. Cooper's resignation
as Superintendent of Public Works was
rendered without expectation or desire
of reappointment, his actual retirement
having taken place when Mr.. Car
ter became Acting Governor. A. n.
Kepoikai refuses to resign as Treasurer.
With these exceptions the heads of de-
partments all resigned out of courtesy
and are supposed to expect reappoint-
ment.
An item in Hilo paper indicates
that Governor Carter favors j. Castle
Ridgway to succeed himself as Secre-
tary of the Territory, a presidential ap-
pointment, being that he has written
to Rev. S. L. Desha asking him if Mr..
Ridgway would be acceptable to the
Hawaiians.
symptoms of preparations for an in
augural ball were apparent yesterday.

SOME HOUSE VOUCHERS
ARE STILL CONCEALED
SQUADRON.

Governor Carter was witness be-
fore the Federal grand jury yesterday
morning. He was examined as TO
what documents he had received FROM
Clerk Meheula of the House ana ex-
cused to make further investigation
of the trunkful of papers. His search
resulted in finding certain papers that
were wanted, but when he returned
with them the grand jury had adjourn
ed for the day.
Other witnesses before the grand
jury yesterday morning We're Repre-
sentative Kumalae, for the third time,
and Enoch Johnson, attorney.
When the grand jury adjourned a
committee of the body to tabulate the
House vouchers held a session. 1t is
understood that the tabulation will
form part of the grand jury's report
Clerk Meheula will almost certainly
be called in again, as it appears some
vouchers are missing from the invoice
book he surrendered to the grand
jury.
From what can be gathered on the
least one indictment being returned in
the vouchers matter. That there may
not be more would be due to the 1imi
tations of the Federal statutes for
reaching the grafters involved in the
revelations of the vouchers.
There is a good deal of talk about
the law of the matter. The conten-
ton is heard that the Federal grand
jury has no jurisdiction to make the
investigation at ALL because the Leg
islature of the Territory is an inde
pendent body so far as the control of
it's records is concerned. Those who
argue this way claim that the Federal
law against the destruction of public
documents relates only to Federal doc
uments.
On the other hand, the same critics
argue that nothing could be done by
a Territorial grand jury, with respect
to compelling the production of the
vouchers or cause for their non-pro-
duction, because there is no Territorial
law similar to the Federal statute for
maintaining the sacredness of public
documents.
Those who are engaged in this signal
service for the public, however, are
paying no attention to any of these
ex cathedra objectors. Apart from
the presumption that they know what
they are doing and under what author
ity it is being done, they realize that
the best public opinion appreciates the
high value of their services even if
nothing further than the mere ex-
posure of the looting of public funds
should result.
w L. Eaton, a member of the Ter
ritorial grand Jury, called at the Ad-
vertiser office yesterday to complain
of the criticism of that Body. He felt

At meeting of the Honolulu Park
Commission Friday afternoon it was
decided to extend Kapiolani Park so as
to take in the grounds now occupied
as a race track by the Hawaiian
Jockey Club. Senator Crabbe. presi-
dent of the club, has been notified that
the racing association will be given two
years to secure new quarters. -
The commission also considered the
dilapidated condition of the fences of
the Hawaiian Jockey Club and a reso-
luton was adopted directing the re-
moval of the board fence adjoining the
park grounds. If the club wishes to
store the section, torn down, under the
grand stand, so that it may be erected
for future occasions, the desired per-
mission Will be granted. The resolution

also contained request that the Ha-
waiian Jockey Club keep the remain
der of its fence in tidy condition.
The second resolution passed was to
the effect that the Honolulu Park
Commission desired the use of the en-
tire Kapiolani Park grounds and while
not desiring to embarrass the JOCKEY
Club, it desired that the club make ar
rangements for some other race course.
In order to fix a time limit the COM
mission gave notice to the Hawaiian
Jockey Club that its right to the use
of the park grounds would be terminat-
ed two years from date. This gives the
racing men opportunity for holding
two more annual race meets on June
18th on the present course. This will
also allow of ample time to secure other
quarters.

expressed the opinion to them that it

when 500 freshmen bombarded with
stones and clubs Columbian hall,

sion at their annual banquet. They
stormed the stairs and succeeded in
temporarily breaking up the gather
ing. This was not accomplished until
about 20 of the attacking freshmen
were more or less hurt A riot call
was sent, but the score of police who
responded were unable to handle the
rioting students. Not until the city
fire department was called and two
streams of water were brought into
play did the freshmen dispense. A
patrol wagon full of the ringleaders
were arrested All were subsequently
released, except Fl. l. Harmon. Most
of the students injuries were received

ed the crowd, using their clubs.

KANSAS CITY TRANSFERS OUT.
Drivers Use Force In Efforts to Hin.
der Traffie--Woman Drives
Team.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 1.-TWO
ience entered into the strike of 211
drivers, employed by the IA transfer
companies, who went out for an in
crease in wages and recognition of
their union. Perhaps half hundred
men were employed during the day
to take the places of the strikers,
though but little work was accom-
plished by them. Strikers and their
sympathizers gathered in large num-
bers at several points in the west bot
toms and held up wagons driven by
freight depot the police were forced
to draw their revolvers to dispense a
crowd that had cut the traces of
teams hitched to two loaded wagons.
At another point George B. Evans,
an employee of the American Express
company, in attempting to dispense q
crowd that was throwing stones at a
driver, fired a shot into the ground.
N. N. Latin, a striker, interfered, and
made move to draw a knife, when
both men were arrested Mrs Evans,
wife or the man arrested, struck with
whip the leaders of crowd that in
terfered with the course of a wagon
on which she was riding. Later Mrs
Evans took charge of wagon belong
ing to the Swofford Dry Goods com.
pany and, unaided, drove the team
through the crowd. Her progress was
interrupted. In Mulberry street a
crowd blockaded the thoroughfare and
threw stones at the non-union drivers
Much excitement prevailed and the
police were kept busy.
