Sheriff. While conteniing as be-
fore, he was asked il he knew
Sheriff Andrews, otherwise called
the Gar, and he aus vered that he
did, aud then continued 10 holding
his ground for willis.
Then Kealawsa Spoke up, in sec
onding the motion, that he had
waited for just such an item, aud
that he had just received letter
from the captain of the Hilo police,
wherein he makes complaint OF
being docked $25 after his warrant
for 500 had been received: Here
is another instance of what the
Sheriff ha, beendoing all along. OFF,
cred the letter to be- read, which was
addressed to him as Kekino, which
brought the query, who is he, to
which he answered 'that'a my ma.
tive name which 1 am commonly
known by and Kealawaa my Fog
lish nams." This created laugh
ter.
Greenwich raised point OF order
that the subj act was the ite:, OF re-
funding police officers and here Kea-
lawaa was speaking on a letter. The
Speaker ruled the point not we'll
taken, and that Ksalawaa was in
order, 10 that he was speaking on
letter which complained of reduc-
tion in salary.

so that these man were paid by
warrants issued by the Auditor.

have this matter eifted down to the
bottom. Then Pulaa again recited
the methods, as follows: Vouchers

sent to the Sherff's Office in Hilo,
from there they are sent to the Au-
ditor in Honolulu, who in turn is
sues warrants aud sends them back
to the Sheriff, and from there to the
different deputies, who hand TOUT
the warrants to the men, A letter
accompanied these warrants with
instructions to take So or $40 from
each men, who, when warrants are
handed them. are instructed to paw
certain amounts after their warrants
are cashed, which is done at anv
place that will accommodate them.
Then Andrade continued that
since hearing the explanations, he
was more than convinced that the
item should not pass. The man
paid the mnoeY with heir own con.
sent. But to scondemn man, ho
though was not right, and felt that
Andrews should be given fair
hearing.
