CHARGE NOW Is ARSON.
The MeIcrOmes Held and Sent to
Jail.
DOCTOR MAY TAKE ACTION ALSO.

Held in $500 bail each on a charge Of arson.
Mrs Mary Melcrome and her daughter. Mamie.
who suspected Of having set fire to their
home at No $50 Twelfth-st Brooklyn, on Sat-
urday were sent to the Raymond Street jail
yesterday. They were arrested as suspicious
persons, but yesterday in the Butler-st. court
Captain Reynolds of the Fifth-ave. station. and
Fire Marshal Beers said they felt justified in
changing the charge TO one OF arson. There
was examination. and the case was set down
for a hearing the latter part of the week.
Both Captain Reynolds and the fire marshal
said they we're working in harmony on the
case. but neither would talk Of the evidence
that they have obtained. The police say they
believe that Mamie Melcrome is the author Of
the letters which were sent 20 her mother and
which contained a threat to blow up the
Twelfth-st. house unless the Melcromes moved
out Immediately.
The neighbors in the vicinity Of the Melcrome
home were only too willing to talk about the
mother and daughter yesterday. but most of
what was said mere idle If what
was said Is true however. ii shows that the Mel
cromes have been we'll known for eccentricity

SHOULD JOIN DEMOCRATS.

The results of the election on the
Island of Oahu must show to the
Home Rule party the Importance of
amalgamating with the Democrats The
principles of the two factions are al
most identical, and there is no good
reason why they should not work to-.
gether. A combination between the
two would have the power to control
every elective Office, both Territorial
and county, and to keep Delegate in
Congress.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-11-04

be expected that the Democrats will 60
over to them, for the first reason that
the Democratic party in these Islands
has a national standing and is properly
organized for business. The thing for
the Home Rulers to do is to go into the
Democratic party through the regular
central committee 1t could undoubt~
eddy be arranged to increase the mem
bership of that committee in order that
the Home Rulers would be given fail
representation upon it. That would
give the Home Rulers all the power
they might be entitled to, as individ-
uals, and give to them as a party the
additional strength which they must
have if they expect to do anything in
future elections

poses and better material for the tick

After news of the voting came in last
night a number of policemen and other
henchmen of High Sheriff Brown got
drunk and had a great revel at the po-
lice station. Such conduct on the part
of outside citizens would have landed
the perpetrators in hook for being
drunk and disorderly, if not worse.
But Browns staunchest supporters
seem to have been the police, the
DRINKS and the gamblers of the city.
The election OF Colonel c. P. Iaukea
to be tax assessor for Oahu should be
regarded as one of hte most satisfac-
tory results of the county campaign,
Mr.. Iaukea is not only polished and
popular gentleman, but he has the alb
solute confidence of the people. More
over, he has had such experience, in
the land department. as will peculiarly
fit him for his new duties, he starting
in with knowledge of the land and of
land values all over Oahu.
1t is the intention of the Home Rule
party to move in the Supreme Court
for a recount of the vote of yesterday
on account of the extraordinary num-
Der of votes thrown out. The belief is
that If the matter is carefully followed
up it will show that the Home Rulers
elected the Sheriff and all three Of the
Supervisors-at-Large. While looking
into the subject it will be we'll to in.

Should the Home Rulers make up
their minds to join hands with the
Democrats and work as part of that
party, the results of the general cleo
ton next fall will have been assured.
Nothing in the Islands could stop such
combination. 1t would mean more
votes, more money for campaign pur-
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-11-04

The Home Rulers have twice shown
that they have not in their own ranks
the votes with which to elect a ma,
jority of almost any ticket although
coming very close to it. They are also
laboring under the Disadvantage of not
having the money for campaign pur
poses. There are enough Democratic
votes in the Islands to more than make
up the deficiency, and the Democrats
have sufficient money with which to-
make fight. AS the thing now stands,
with the Home Rulers holding aloof
from the Democrats, the influence Of
is latter is left independent, or in
a position to split their tickets and
vote as they please. The result is that
the Republicans almost invariably
catch a majority of these votes.

The illness of Edgar Caypless, can,
didate for the office of County Attor-
ney, prevented his doing any work in
the latter part of the campaign and
was doubtless responsible for his de-

popular estimation by his misfortune,
and his time will yet come. Mr.. Cay
pless has the confidence Of the business
community.

Scandal in regard to the way the
