LIBEL SUIT AGAINST
FORMER HONOLULAH
Manila Town Topics says:


Charges of criminal libel have been
filed by attorneys representing Senior
Otero, of the New Oriente Hotel man
agenment, against Frederick O'Brierl,
the editor and lessee of The Cablenews,
in Otero's behalf For reasons not yet
explained the complaint still lies in the
office of the Prosecuting Attorney. Just
when it will be turned over TO the Clerk
of the Court of First Instance IS not
announced.
Several days ago The Cablenews pub
lished an article under the caption,
New Oriente Hotel Mixup," in which
the paper made the direct allegations
on which the complaint has been based.
After publishing the facts in connection
with the application of certain creditors
of Simon Schneer to the Court OF the
First Instance for the appointment OF a
receiver for the hotel the paper made
the following editorial comment as the
conclusion of the news story: On the
above grounds Senior Torres prays Tor
the appointment of a receiver. AS a
matter of fact. if the creditors OF the
hotel were informed they would lease
the hotel to Dr. Bayer, who IS the
manager now The caretaker (Otero)
under Attorney Robes Lahesa IS drunk
often. He acts like an insane man and
is driving guests of the hotel away.
| am told that Frederick O'Brlen has
been bringing powerful influence to bear
on Otero to drop the criminal proceed
ings, offering to make ample apology
through the columns OF his paper Tor

H. NJ. Dow, chief clerk of the High
Sheriff's Office under former High
Sheriff Brown, explains the system of
]. 0. Us in the police department, as
follows:
Before came into the Office the
custom had been to pay the members
of the entire police force in cash. The
payment by warrant did not come into
vogue until eight or more years ago.
There was always considerable cash on
hand and 1t was the custom to allow
the men to give their l. o. Us and
receive money during the month This
rule had been followed by nv inn
mediate predecessor, and / presume by
clerks before him. | cam. into the
Office hftee1 years ago. No interest
was ever charged the men,
Later when a new High Sheriff came
into Office he did not favor the |. o. u.
system and caused me to change it
by having the men write in a book the
amount of money that they borrowed
from the funds | did not like this
system and when a new official tool,
charge I changed back to the old l.
O. y. system, as | considered that form
more convenient This method of loan
ing money was continued until the pay
rnent by warrant came into vogue and
then it was discontinued No interest
was ever charged for the use of that
money, and it had been a custom that
had prevailed for years in the depart
ment.
After the warrant system came into
effect, MIR. Schnack loaned money to
the men charging them interest, no
money ever being loaned out of my
Office. He tired of loaning the money
and decided that he would discontinue
it. The men were considerably incon-
venienced, and solicited me frequently
to help them. / prevailed on Schnack
to continue the thing for several months
longer, and finally when he stopped It,
and the men bothered me so much to
them that if they wanted to pay me
the interest that they had been paying
Schnack, l would go out and borrow
the money to accommodate them.
.They were satisfied with this arrange
ment and paid me the interest them
selves at the end of every month. The
interest was 10 per cent on the small
amount, but from many of the men l
would not accept a single penny OF
interest The money used in loaning
to the men was borrowed outside by
me and was never taken from the
government money in nv department.
| have gotten the High Sheriff to en-
dorse my note and have secured the
money at the bank. The Sheriff did
not receive any monev for endorsing
the notes. / presume that it was custom
airy to loan from ST, 200 to $1,000 every
month.
Il did the thing to accommodate the
men and always urged them to try
and economic so as not to have to
borrow the money during the month,
but to have their full salary warrants
drawn at the end of each month. |

more than the S. and $40 that were
