HAS HENRY THROW
UP THE SPONGE
Continued from page ~

denly, but the Poepoe men took COM
fort i'm the report, and undoubtedly they
gained an accession of strength.
"Achi is knitting Henry" was the cry
that went from precinct to precinct.
Fern has given up supporting Henry
and is out for Brown" was another
cry, and Henry has thrown up the
sponge" was a third. Henry himself
took trip to the Fifth after the repo-s
had spread He emphatically denied
that he had withdrawn. Henrys re-
ception was anything but cordial. All
along the streets he was greeted with
shouts for Brown and even his own po-
licemen in uniform could not suppress
their loyalty to their former chief.
The eighth Of the Fifth did about As
rapid voting rs any place in town, hav-
ing 2OS votec cast by half past eleven.
Inquiry among election officials and by
ISLANDERS alike led to the reply that
Brown was forging ahead. In the 10th
of the Fifth the same report was made,
with $50 votes cast. In fact throughout
the Fifth there were crowds of Brown
supporters at every polling place, and
all claimed that the voting had gone
llltlI way
The Home Rulers and Democrats
were also out in strong force, and
claimed that they We're polling their
votes we'll Little or nothing was to be
seen of the Civic Federation. Il have
seen nothing of its strength here" said
Senator Lane, who watched at one of
the precincts all the time.
Lane made a speech during the morn
ing, in reference to a report that the
governor had threatened to resign lr
Brown was elected He denounced the
| governor for taking part in a county
campaign, saying that it should have
been above his high office to do so. 1--WE
ought to have a governor who is an ex-
ecutive officer of the Territory and not
a politician" said Senator Lane. IF he
wants to resign let him do So and we
will get a governor who is not a pOlti-
cian.'
There was very quiet voting through
out the Fifth. Brown buttons, Brown
! badges and Brown yells were in evil
| dence everywhere. Even the children
| playing on the streets played at politics
and gave yells for Brown. A new game
was to be observed in one yard, the
players being a crowd of small native
Japs, Chinese and mixtures of all three
They were playing candidates and
| quarreling about who should be Brown
and all refusing to be Henry 1t seem
ed to be a great game.

MEATH THE SHADES
OF THE TREES
A GRIM TRAGEDY THAT WAS
ENACTED THIS MORNING AWAY
UP IN THOMAS SQUARE.

There was a quick getaway at
Thomas Square at eight o'clock this
morning when the polling booth for
the Sth of the 4th was opened. There
were about two dozen free and in
dependent voters scattered about the
sward in addition to Theodore Richards
But your uncle Theodore is a regular
foxy grandpa when it comes to election
day and the way that he stormed the
polls as soon as the door was opened
was sight that would have done Cen
eral Nogi good and would have taught
him how to get INTO Port Arthur
months before he did.

Richardson as he came out after
Richards "I may be Richardson but
I've killed Richards vote for Henry"

ONE HOTEL THIS MORNING.

drove UP to the Hawaiian Hotel this
morning and the ladies alighted They
were passengers on the Manchuria from
the Orient and they had taken a short
drive. One of the ladies asked the driv-

amount asked. His little bill amounted
to Sl2 he said.
An appeal was made by the fair pas
sengers to Manager Fred Church, who
promptly took the matter up.
Give him S." he said, and not a

The hack shark took the five dollars
and drove away.

hear it, remarked Church. but that is
the third case of eXtortion that ! have
had to settle up this morning. | have to
watch the interests of my guests and If
certainly is no credit to Honolulu to see
the way that some of these hack driv-
ers attempt to rob strangers. The reg

source of complaint but the chance

many cases little better than highway
robbers"
church dropped the suggestion that
the matter was one which the Promo

ZEAL TO BIZ: The
FIRST TO VOTE
RESULTS IN A MIX-UP BETWEEN
"a BROWN AND A HENRY MAN
THIS MORNING.

There was a small fight at the OPEN
ing of the polls in the Fifth of the
Fourth this morning, where the polling
place is in the Board of Health build
ing. There was scramble to get in
the first vote, and a Brown man and
Henry man mixed up for a moment.
They were separated and quiet voting
followed.
The hand of the Public Works de-
partment is strongly felt in this pre-
cinct. A large proportion of the voters
are employees of the road department,
and they voted under the fear inspired
by speeches of Superintendent Holloway
whose remarks to the MAJ during the
past week are understood by them as
orders to vote for Henry. 1t is be-
lieved that this order has considerably
split the vote.
Some of the men, it is stated, are
voting for Henry in the hope of do
ing Sam Johnson a good turn. Sam
is the boss of the road work, and is eX-
ceedingly popular among his men.
They have been told that it is likely
to go hard with Sam, and that they are
likely to have a new boss, if Sans
precinct does not return a Henry ma
jority, and this scared a lot into line.
One man who voted for Henry early
this morning openly swore as he did
this. Standing in his election booth
he stamped the name of Henry at the
top of his ticket with an oath, calling
Henry a vile name as he did it, and
then, judging by his audible remarks
in the booth, he voted the rest of the
Republican ticket. A sense of the
strongest kind of coercion prevailed
the precinct all day.
Sam Johnson was at the polling place
most of the day. There were reports
that he was working for Henry, but
Sam declared t at he was not working
for anyone and would not do so. my
men are div'd ed," said Johnson, who
always refers to the employees that
way. II have nothing to say to them
as to how they shall vote.
Johnson predicted that Henry would
get about 1876 of the votes in the pre-
cinct, and Johnson is usually a pretty
good authority. There are about $50
votes to be cast.

COMING SLOW
BUT UNANIMOUS
OUT WITH THE MANOA CROWD
JOHN CATHCART WAS RIGHT IN
HIS ELEMENT.

John Cathcart, the old war horse,
scented the battle from afar when he
arose this morning. He neighed with
excitement as he pranced out of his
box stall and galloped down to the
corner of Alexander and Young streets
where was located the polling booth for
the 10th of the Fourth.
TITS coming pretty slow for a war
horse" he remarked at 9:45 "for we
have only polled 50 out of 9O2 votes
and I forgot to bring a feed of oats for
me-"
Sure it's slow" remarked another
battle steed 1--WE generally poll $50
by this time It's all on account of
the Governors neglect in not declaring
this a holiday"
"But-whisper" said war horse Cath
cart they are coming two to one for
Brown. It's a skinch!"

FIGHT
WITH POEPOE
ONLY TWO CANDIDATES IN THE
RUNNING NOW AND A LIVELY
STRUGGLE ON.

A very large vote is being cast in the
election today. 1t is being cast very
qui.t.yl though with a great deal Of
campaigning. The fight between Poe
poe and Brown is on to the death this
afternoon. Henry's corpse has already
been buried, and everyone now sees the
absurdity of statements that the Home
Rule party was dead, or that Henry
ever had a chance.
Every stable in town has all it's rigs
out and all the hacks are busy also
most of the automobiles. Many voters
We're taken to the polls in automobiles
Browns men are on the whole most
enthusiastic In the Fifth, where u
strong Home Rule vote was anticipated,
the Brown men are claiming an unex-
pectedly large vote. 1t is their belief
that Brown will defeat PoepOe by "A
slight margin Poepoe paid a visit to
some Fourth district precincts this af-
ternoon, and told his followers of the
change of Achi and Fern urging all U
stand firm for him.

ALMOST INcEssANT RAINS.
Ten Inches of Water Has Fallen in
Seventeen Days at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Sept. 1S.-Rain has fall
len in Kansas City and vicinity every
day excepting one i'm september. with
total downfall to date of ten inches
in seventeen days, and today there was
no prospects of immediate cessation.
Practically the same conditions have
prevailed throughout western Missouri
especially in the northwestern corner
of the state, and in a portion of east
ern and central Kansas. As a result
all streams in this part of the country
continue to rise and railway traffic is
becoming demoralized because of nu-
merOus washouts.
After rising steadily all last weel
and then becoming stationary on Sun
day the kaW river at Kansas City be-
gan again today to come up, No dan
ger is anticipated at this point how
ever, as the Missouri river is low and is
carrying off the excess water from the
kaW. The trouble being experienced
by the railways is from washouts, prin
cipally in the vicinity of Carrollton,
Marshall and Sedalia.
At Kansas City since yesterday an
inch and a half of rain fell, while at
Wichita, Kan, the precipitation
amounted to S.14 inches.
Turkey creek, which flows through
Eosedale just across the line i'm Kan
sas on the southwest, is on a rampage
and many poor people along its banks
were forced to move out today.
