HOME RULERS
Go If ALONE
CHARLES MOTLEY TELLS WHAT
HE THINKS OF TREATMENT
THEY GOT FROM DEMOCRATS.

A very mad man was Charles Not
ley, one of the mainstays of the Home
Rule party when he read the Stars
correspondence from Waikiki yester-
day.
Il am no fusionist," he said, "and J
think that we Home Rulers should
fight our battle by ourselves after the
treatment that we got from the Demo-
Gratis at the last election What did
they do after promising that thew
would not vote for a Republican? Why
any number of them turned around and
voted for Brown and threw down Poe
poe.
LAS for the story from Wailuku," he
continued, while it is perfectly true
that | went over there to investigate
the charge against Kahaulelio, it IS
also true that there was no evidence
against him at all to show that he had
letter urging Home Rulers to sup
port Kalua.
There was no such letter. People
said that they had seen something If
the sort, but they could not produce 1t
and the case naturally failed. The
statement that the standing of Pc
ruvia Goodness was discussed is with
out foundation"
Motley confirmed the story that the
executive committee, to the number Of
1855 have been convened to meet in Ho-
I nOlulu.
"They will meet on Thursday next,
he said, and will decide on @ meeting
day for the whole party, There is moth
ling extra ordlnory about the meeting
as it will simply be the annual meet
ing of the party. 1t should have been
held before, but the expenses due 10
the county elections caused its post
ponement. Personally I was i'm favor
of postponeing it now for year but il
was decided otherwise"

CAN 7 GET THEIR
PAY IN ADVANCE


WASHINGTON, July S.-The War
Department viii take occasion on the
first opportunity after the converting
Of Congress to suggest that provision
be made for giving officers and men of
the regular establishment one months
pay in advance prior to their departure
for the Philippines on occasions when
they are under orders to the islands.
There has been nothing i'm the way of
decision which will give more indi-
vidual embarrassment than the ruling
of the Comptroller that the law under
which Army paymnsters have been
giving a months pay to soldiers and
officers when they went through San
Francisco i'm advance of the date when
it was due did not apply to regulars,
but only to volunteers of which there
is, of course none i'm the service now.
Altogether the decision operates as
a Neritable hardship 1t will compel
many people to get money where and
how they can, because nearly every
one about to so to the islands is found
without ready funds to meet demands
on account of the trip.
OF course there is no appeal from
the Comptrolers ruling. 1t must re-
main with all its blighting effect, ana
the only remedy will be i'm getting Con-
gress to change the law and extend
| the privileges Of the old statute to
| these Of the regular establishment.
