tba Home Rule camp when Charles
Motley the Home Rule candidate for
Delegate to Congress, was placed I'M
der arrest on a warrant sworn to by
w. F. Erving, secretary of the Dem
ocratic Committee, charging him with
criminal libel, in permitting to be
printed in the Kuokoa Home Rula, the
Home Rule organ, an article charging
Curtis Iaukea, Democratic candidate
for Delegate to Congress, with wrong
doing. while Collector General of Gus
toms for this port.
The arrest caused all manner of ex-
element in the Home Rule headquar-
tiers and about the streets. Mr.. Motley
was released on having his bail bond
for $500 approved with Senator Kalau-
okaiani as surety.
Mr.. Kinney. the Democratic leader
and counsel in general for the Demo-
cratic party, and Mr. Motley, met on
the street shortly afterward and Mr..
| Kinney told Motley that unless there
was a retraction of the article in the
Home Rula, of which Motley is editor,
the charges would be pressed. A re-
traction would save him from prose-
cution.
Motley asked for time and he was
at first given until O'Clock yester-
day afternoon. Later he asked for
more time, and Mr.. Kinney, not de-
string to take any unfair advantage
of him, gave Motley until 9 o'clock this
morning to make the retraction-
Still another sensation broke out
when it was known that stephen Uma-
una, up to a day or two ago staunch
Democrat and one of the speakers who
daily mounted the political rostrum at
Bethel and KING streets on behalf OF
Iaukea, Parker and any other Demo-
crat on local or mainland tickets, had
deserted to his old friends the Home
Rulers. In the same issue of the Home
Rule paper that the article attacking
Iaukea was printed, was an affidavit
from Umauma in which he made an as
sault upon Democratic principles and
his former political friends. Mr.. Ma
kookoo also came out with an affidavit
against Iaukea and others and the re-
suit is that Mr.. Kinney has also pre-
pared warrants for their arrest. In
case Motley fails to retract the other
two warrants will become operative to-
day. said Mr.. Kinney.
The warrant for the arrest of Not
ley read as follows:
