FIFTH DISTRICT CAUCUS MAKES
A CHANGE IN THE SITUATION
No Telling What the Convention Will Do-..PrAtt
Fines Opposition and Cathcart Wins
Out---The Supervisors.

Yesterdays caucus of the Fifth Dis
trict Republicans developed some sur
prises and a few sensations. The
change of the party caucus from that
of last week was startling. There was
a complete reversal in the lineup of
the delegates from the Fifth in the
caucus held during the afternoon in
Republican headquarters on Fort
street.
Frank Pahia, former deputy sheriff
on the other side of the island, and
Ctas. B. Dwight, ex-road supervisor
for Honolulu, will be the candidates for
supervisor in the Fifth. One received
forty-five and the other forty-six votes.
E. c. Winston withdrew his name as
a candidate. Carl On Tai received
five votes and two votes were cast for
fourth candidate. The nomination
of Dwight and Pahia seems certain at
the district convent =, unless there is
another big change.
There was no vote taken on the cam
didates for supervisor at large, the dis
trict not wishing to take such action
until after the conference with the
Fourth District. John c. Lane is the
almost certain candidate from the
Fifth.
For county attorney, John W. Cath
cart received 80 votes as against 19
given to W. T. Rawlins. Rawlins was
given unanimous endorsement at the
meeting held last week, and the rever-
sal of action is the result of hard work
on the part of Cathcart's friends Raw
ins is by no means out Of the race,

and said yesterday that he intended to
The turn down of Rawlins in the eau
Gus only came after a long and bitter
fight. w. C. Achi championed Rawlins'
cause most vigorously, claiming that
the party could not go back on he ac-
ton of last Wednesdays meeting. Achi
was bitterly attacked for his stand and
finally quit the meeting in anger.
The lineup on assessor was also a
surprise. The vote in the caucus
showed ]. W. Pratt to have but twenty
four votes, while George Lucas, a new
Richmond in the field, received twen-
ty-five. Lucas only entered the list
within the last day or two and his
nomination in the caucus was some
what of surprise to some delegates.
Mr.. Lucas is at present first deputy
clerk for the Supreme Court.
For auditor Isaac Sherwood received
thirty-eight votes, to eleven cast for
A. J. Campbell.
For county clerk Henry Vida was
given the unanimous endorsement of
the district, although both Murray and
Savidge received some votes on the
first ballots.
For sheriff and surveyor there was
no contest and A NJ Brown and Rob
ert n. Boyd were promised the solid
support of the delegates.
S. E. Damon was the unanimous
choice of the caucus for treasurer.

CHANGE REGATTA
DAY PROGRAM

The Hawaiian Rowing Association
met yesterday and made several
changes in the program for Regatta
Day. The Junior race was changed to
an intermediate race, thus doing away
with a protest which had been made
by the Healanis to Giles rowing in the
Myrtle junior crew. The objection was
that he was not a junior. The decision
to make an intermediate race will do
away with the ground for the arotest,
and will permit both Giles and Church
to enter.
Another change also cleared matters
somewhat. This was a decision that
the rule which prohibited any man
from rowing in more than one race. be
amended to permit oarsmen TO row IN

some other race.

DISASTER THREATENED
TO OUR JURISPRUDENCE
Constitutional Point is Mooted Which Nav De.
stroy Almost the Entire Jurisdiction of
District Magistrates in This Territory

A constitutional question is liable to
be raised in the courts at any day,
which is fraught with disaster to the
existing statutory apportionment of
jurisdiction between the, Circuit and
the District courts of this Territory.
Decided in a certain way it would re-
duce the jurisdiction of the District
courts to the vanishing point. The
we'll designed am, ndment of the Judi
ciary Act effected at this years session
of the Legislature, which by a new
classification CT crimes and misdemean-
ors gave original jurisdiction of minor
offenses in greater proportion than for
merly to District Magistrates, would
through the eventuality in question be
n'llifed. Not only so, but little If
anything would be left for those func-
tionaries.
The point spoken of here was actu-
ally raised ',y j. -. Matthewman, who
is secretary of the Bar Association,
before District Magistrate Dickey
about five months ago. In accord
ance with his usual practice, Judge
Dickey declined to rule on the consti-
tutional question. 1t was not carried
higher but, having become topic of
legal conversation, there is no telling
when it may bob up in one of the Cir
cult courts.
Mr.. Matthewman, in his Korean cases
researches, ran across a Federal deci-
sion (163 U. S. Reports p. 223), where
the Supreme Court Of the United States
held hat Imprisonment of any kind or
duration, upon conviction, constitutes
infamy and the offense found an in
famous offense.
The case in question was that of

marked Chairman Crabbe.
ACHI SCENTS DICTATION.
Senator Achi said that the convention
was starting in the wrong way; that
the temporary chairman should have
been appointed at the opening of the
convention. ''This time,' he said, sit
seems as if the Republican Central
Committee took the matter in it's own
hands and organized the convention.
The temporary chairman should have
been appointed when we first met, and
he should have appointed the commit
tee on credentials. What we have done
now is not according to rule, and to
appoint temporary chairman now,
would be of no use, as his work is al
ready done. All we can do now is to
permanently organize
CRABBE EXPLAINS.
For the benefit of Senator Achi.'
said Senator Crabbe, 'T will say that
the Republican Central Committee de-
cided that the chairman should take
control of this convention until it is
properly organized, and it cannot be
organized properly until there has
been a decision as to who the MEM
bers are. That made it necessary TO
appoint a committee on credentials.
That was what the district committee
has done on the other islands, and un-
was impossible to tell who are properly
delegates The remarks of Senator
Achi art entirely uncalled for. Further
nominations for temporary chairman
will now be received. That is the only
business before the convention now"
KAULUKOU SIDES WITH ACHI. =
Judge Kaulukou moved a reconsid-
Grafton of the action already taken and
said that the selection of a temporary
chairman would only be waste of
time. He moved to elect a permanent
chairman
1.-The work of the temporary officers
has not been completed replied
Crabbe, "there must be committee on
rules and committee on organiza-
tion."
1.-THE permanent chairman can attend
to that work. said Kaulukou.
Il have here Section of the Rules
Achi started to say.
"I'll rule that out of order" inter-
rupted Crabbe. 1.-THE only business be-
fore the convention is the selection of
a temporary chairman
Achi insisted on quoting from the
rules, and read the section to show
that the central committees powers
ended when the meeting had been call
ed to order. 1.-The Central Committee
convention should select its officers
said Achi. 1.-THE committee can't die
tate to this convention and these pro-
ceedings are not regular. The Central
Committee is trying to carry on the
convention"
"Sit down." came from several parts
of the hall, accompanied by stamping
of feet and the objector sat down.
A. V. Gear moved that the nominal
tions be closed, the motion was car
ried and the secretary then cast the
ballot for Robertson for chairman.
ROBERTSON AS CHAIRMAN.
Mr.. Robertson was escorted to the
chair by a committee composed of ].
H. Boyd, S. F. Chillingworth and H. C.
Vida and Boyd simply said, 'I intro
duce to you your temporary chair
man."

Attorney General Andrews was ask
ed yesterday before the filing of Davis

plaint is made that no disbarment

Peters, as to a report that the absent
deputy attorney general was to be

was to be another proceeding against
f. G. Peters, who was Magoon's part
ner at the time of the suit in which
$1,000 was divided between George A.
Davis and Magoon & Peters.
"As far as l know at this time" said
the attorney general, there is nothing
against Mr.. Peters. It.is possible that
Mr.. MagoOn's answer in the case may
develop some facts which would lead
to a charge but no such facts have
been developed as yet. | do not know
how far Mr.. Peters was connected with
the case. When he was here the office
was very busy with legislative and
other matters, and l did not discuss the
Sumner case with him. He will be
back on the Alameda next Friday"

DAY FOR HONOLULU TO COM

ant of the Naval Station received a
Cablegram from Captain Pond in San
Francisco this morning, saying that
Admiral Terry, the new commandant of
the naval station would sail bv the
