Judge Gear at 80 yesterday after
; noon charged the grand jury regarding
the request made by C. w. Ashford
for an investigation of the Oahu county
election. At the outset he stated that
the laws of the Territory provided for
the conduct of elections and included
rules and regulations having the force
of law. He was not passing upon the
subject as matter of law, but would
inform the grand jury that the Organic
Act continued in force the laws of the
Republic of Hawaii providing for the
purity of elections. They were aware
that an election was held on the third
of this month for county officers. Ger
tain information had been presented
to the court, which would not be read
then but would be handed to their fore
man. Neither would the court give
them any instructions about the regis
tration of voters.
SINK PARTY FEELING.
They were to investigate cases re-
lating to the county election regardless
of all party feeling. great many
witnesses had been subpoenaed for
their examination. The court hoped
the grand jury would take up the mat
ter in the spirit in which it should be
taken up, remembering their oaths.
Their investigation must not be for the
purpose of aiding any party or candi-
date. They must lose sight entirely
of all political affiliations they indi-
vidually might have. The statutes
We're those of the Territory of Hawaii
and were for the benefit and protection
OF all alike.
ACT WITHOUT FAVOR.
1t was their duty, If they found that
any offenses against those laws had
been committed, to bring an indict-
ment against every offender no matter
who he might be. There were two
parties contesting the election-the Re-
publican and the Home Rule parties.
Let no guilty man escape. Lose sight
wholly of the political situation.
The grand jury had the disposal OF
the services of officers Of the court
They might subpoena any witnesses
they pleased. who they thought would
be able to give light on the investiga-
ton. 1t might be their duty to sub
poena witnesses about whom they
knew nothing If they supposed such
could furnish useful evidence.
KEEP PETITION SECRET.
They would be handed a commune
cation, which accompanied the request
for an investigation, for their guidance.
Copies of the laws, rules and regula-
tions read to them would also be pro-
vided If they desired. The commune
cation was to be kept secret because
1t contained names of persons against
whom no proof of wrong doing might
be presented.
Samuel Parker, foreman of the grand
jury asked If 1t would he necessary
to have the Attorney General or his
deputy present in the grand jury room
while they We're examining the wit
nesses.
MIGHT EXCLUDE ATTORNEY
GENERAL.
Judge Gear answered not unless they
wanted the attorney Generals pres
ence. The Attorney General had sub
poenaed a number of witnesses and ltl :
was proper that he should have the

COAL MINES
NOT TO CLOSE
DOWN AS HAS THE REPORT BEEN
WIDELY CIRCULATED BY PER
SONS WHO DID NOT KNOW.
Car Supply WIN Be Largely increased,
Company says, and Operations
Very Active.

A rumor which comes from an un-
known source has gained circulation in
the Fairmont region. It is to the effect
that the Fairmont Coal company has
made arrangements to close down a
number of its plants in the near futmc
and thus throw out of employment a
number of the employees.
A representative of the Fairmoat
Times Immediately, upon hearing the
rumor, caIled up the offices Of the CON-
pany here. regarding it, and he was as
sured that the company had no such in.
tentions and that the story was entirely
without foundation.
The Faimout Coal company has every
reason to believe that in a short time
the car supply will be much better and.
if this is the case, the mines win un
better time.
With the present number of contracts.
the local company could successfully
manage the output of additional plants
and the idea of closing down some Of the
present ones seems ridiculous 10 the Of
fcials.

The Methodist revival mass meeting
held in the Grand opera house Sunday

held at the church, after which the
league members formed IN line and
marched to the opera house. The seating
capacity of the opera house was taxed.
Fifty voices composed the chorus on
the stage. The Y. NJ c. A. orchestn

The prospects Of having base ball
team here the coming season are not 50
remote as they were before the Telegram
announced Saturday that they seemed
to have gone gIimmcring. That publ.
cation aroused the general public to
Keen sense of the loss the failure Of
the organization of team would brias
the city and its business. As a eonse
ouence, quite number OF business men
Immediately went to members OF the
company, which had charge Of the team
the latter part of last season and vol
utecred to come to the support OF
team for this year. There is. indeed, q
strong disposition on the part OF sev
eral Of the business men to come to the
rescue. The company feels that it must
have financial assistance in the condcct
Of the team and grounds, owing y tie
fact that they found 1t not to be p"y-
ing enterprise hast year. While the pat
ronage was liberal, yet it was not suffi-
GENTLY large to meet expenses, and can
not be in city of this size. Funds must
necessarily be raised in some other way.
1t is the opinion of many that the best
way to do that is for the business men,
who wish to do to so to subscribe IN
advance the amount they are willing to
contribute. This may be done by dona-
tions or by taking stock in the enter
prise.
With this in view II has been decided
10 hold a public meeting in the office
rooms Of the Telegram at $50 o'clock
Tuesday night. At this meeting it viii
be determined what action viii be taken
and all who desire base ball here next
season should attend. Those who desire
to aid the movement, but who can not
attend this meeting. should, before this
meeting. notify F. J. Welch or other
members of the company as to what
they are willing to do, so that the az
ton taken Tuesday night may in some
measure be based on that information.
Captain L. 0. Smith says he is ready
to get the best team that has ever been
in clarksburg, ii the money is raised
10 support it. He thinks he can get
nearly all the players with whom he
has been in correspondence, and that it
is not too late to get those whom he
advised Is engage themselves with other
teams. he IS confident he can organize
a winnig team, but not one that viii
make a fortune for It's hackers, owing
to the fact that the patronage can not
be large enough.
The team last year was one OF the best
advertisements the city had. The b'lsi-
ness men who are 50 anxious for base
ball here this season recognize that fact.
Remember the meeting Tuesday night
and be there TO tell what You are will
ing to do. Come anyway, and boost the
thing along.
