HANDEL"
Willie A
PRESENT.
GRAND JURY INDICTED HIM FOR
OPERATING GAMBLING GAME
COURT SUSPENDED HIM.

Willie Crawford got a Christmas
present this morning. 1t was quite q
surprise to Willie and he would prob
ably rather not have been the recipient
of the gift what was handed him. It
was an indictment by the grand jury
on charge of conducting gambling
game.
There had been some previous talk OF
indicting Crawford for alleged con-
nection with gambling games, but
when All Kwai was indicted some
weeks ago on charge of allowing his
premises to be rented FOR gambling
purposes and no return was made on
Crawford, it was supposed that Craw-
ford was not to be drawn into the
matter
This morning the grand jury accom-
panied by NJ. f. Prosser, the first dep
uty attorney general, went into Judge
De Bolts court. Crawford was present
as the official Chinese Interpreter Of
the court, Foreman c. J. Hutchins
presented the Indictment. It was plac-
ed on the secret file and bench war
rant ordered issued. Crawford was i'm
medately served, much to his aston
ishment Crawford was arraigned at
once. The court released him upon his
own recognizance until noon today in
order to enable him to hustle UP a bond
for $1,000
The court then gave an order sus-
pending Crawford as Interpreter until
further notice.
The indictment against Crawford is
as follows:
The Grand Jurors of the Territory
of Hawaii, duly empaneled and sworn
| in and for the Circuit Court of the
First judicial Circuit of the Territory
of Hawaii, upon their official oaths.
present that William Crawford, Of Ho-
nolulu i'm the Island of Oahu, in the
First Circuit at Honolulu in the Island
of Oahu, and in the circuit aforesaid
and within the jurisdiction of this Hon
orable Court, on the fifteenth day OF
October, in the year of our Lord one
! thousand nine hundred and six, and
for a period of thirty days next there
to preceding, unlawfully played, car
| ried on and conducted as owner thereof
certain games. to wit: fan tan and paf
! kow, in which said games money was
lost and won
Contrary to the form of the statute
in such case made and provided. A
true bill found this 22nd ay of Decem-
Der, A. d. 1906"
Crawford Is alleged to have been a
partner with All Kwai in the gambling
game that was located in Achi lane off
School street. This is the place that
was investigated by the jury some
weeks ago and which the gamblers
were supposed to have carefully guard
ed against invasion by parties unde-
sired by themselves.

A Little
Joke Or
Democrats
SAID THAT KEALOHA DID NOT
VOTE IN ORDER TO FOOL THE
DEMOCRATS.

1t is now said that the reason Kea-
loha did not vote on last Wednesday
evening and elect Charlie Hustace
chairman of the new board of super
visors was the result of a deep, deep
plot on the part of the Republican
party leaders. The plot was in the
nature of a little joke on the Demo-
Gratis according to the Republicans. 1t
was done in order that the hope which
springs eternal in the human breast"
would rise in the breasts of the De-
mocrats, who by the way are no more
than human after ALL and cause them
to tingle with the expectation of get,
ting the craftsmanship. The leaders
claim that on next Thursday evening
at the next meeting of the new board
Charlie Hustace will be elected chair
man by one vote. They claim that
they had it fixed all of the time.
Charlie Hustace said this morning
that Kealoha did not vote on last
Wednesday evening, not because he
had not made up his mind, but be-
cause the Democrats wanted to do
politics and Kealoha thought that he
would give them a chance to do them.
'Then you are sure to get the chair
manship?" was asked.
Il am not saying anything" was the
answer
Other party leaders however who do
not wish their names used in connec-
tion with the matter, stated that Hus-
tace had the Craftsmanship and would
be named positively on next Thursday
evening.

INNocUoUs INDEPENDENCE.

We do not know precisely what is In
the minds Of the gentlemen who are
meeting under the pretense that they
are Republican League Of lndepend-
ence and are fighting tho Smoot ma
chine. AS matter of fact, whether
they know it or not, they are merely
serving the ends OF that machine. They
may make their parades, their dec
larations, fire off rocket, mingle with
the Smoot cohorts, go with them into
the rush Of battle and then they are
lost In the crowd, These Independent
gentlemen will go into the convention,
such Of them as arc delegates; they
may or they may not fire off torpedo
or two, but whatever they do will be
Of no particular consequence; after the
nomination they will work for the
Smoot ticket, and then they will be
heard Of no more.
There is only one way TO fight the
Smoot machine, and that is to come out
from the Smoot crowd. IT is absolutely
idle to go into that crowd, set up a
little roar or squeak as the case may
be, and then merge In the crowd and
help its cause Those who genuinely
want to fight the machine must get
away from that machine; do nothing
to give it strength or power and refuse
to fight its battles,
If Apostle Smoot was the astute pol
itician that his friends claim him to
be, he could devise no more adroit
method of advancing his fight and re-
tanning his grip on tho party than to
get up an occasional revolt in the ranks
like this of the so.called Republican
Independent League, retaining the con-
troll all the time, being careful to see

STRONG IDAHO TALK.

The Salmon City Gdabo) Recorder
roctly to the Republican women OF
Idaho on the Mormon question. 1t
points out To them that if the party
ticket is elected in that State the re-
suit will be assumed In the East as an
Idaho Endorsement Of Apostle Reed
Smoot and the polygamous practices of
the church of which he is a hierarch.
The Recorder says that Mormons are
practlcing polygamy in Idaho, that it
is undoubtedly on the increase, and cx
presses surprise that any wife or moth
or of the State can be brought to vote
the Republican ticket this fall when
sho realizes that the Republican leaders
are in collusion with the Mormon hier
archy in Salt Lake City, and are tho
political protectors of its practices,
This is strong talk, but il is not sur
prising, The wonder is that Republi-
can and Democratic papers alike in
Idaho could be bribed or cajoled into
silence so long. That some Of them are
no longer mute is proof that they
rise above venality and cowurdice aud
that they are determined to protect the
welfare and the good fame of the
State, no matter how tempting may be
the offers from the side of dishonor.
The Idaho Recorder does credit to
journalism in its candid and open re-
marks about the issue which has been
raised in the Commonwealth. It's utter
ances should 90 home TO every lover
Of the State; and the wives and moth
ers, who otherwise this year would be
glad to vote the Republican ticket,
ahnu1d heed IFS counsel and vote against
that Republican alliance with the Nor
mon hierarchy which is as dangerous
to the future of Idaho as it is disgrace
full to the present leaders who seek
to profit by the dishonor Of the Com
monwealth.

THE "BACK STAMP NEEDED.

The project of the Postofice Depart
ment at Washington to abolish the
''back stamp on letters is received
with a strong protest throughout the
country. The fact is that the back
stamp is about the only check that
the receiver of letters has on the post
al service, With the abolition Of the
back stamp no one would know at
what time letter was received in the
postotiice or when the letter ought to
have reached him. The stamp at the
sending Office would be the only record
possible to reach, and there would be
no way for the recipient Of a delayed
letter to find out anything about the
delay except by going or writing to
the sending office; and by the time his
complaint could get there the trace
would be so dim that he might as well
give up tho chase from tho beginning
and not undertake to do anything
about it.
1t is not surprising that the project
! TO abolish the back stamp is received
with enthusiasm by the Salt Lake post
master. The back stamp has been his
undoing in all Of tho many exposures
that patrons of the Office have made
through The Tribune, and even the
back stamp Is not sufficient in many
cases to enable the recipient of de-
| layed letter to find out what has de-
layed it.
1t is not surprising that the people Of
the country generally are joining in Il
strong protest against the abolition Of
the back stamp. 1t is claimed in be-
half Of this innovation that it would
save the labor Of a good many clerks,
which may be true; but the saving of
clerk hire is not the special desidera-
tum of the postal service, What is
wanted is efficiency and prompt deliv-
cry. And if it takes few more clerks
to insure this, certainly the clerks
should be employed; and il the dis
charge of large number of clerks
would follow the putting in force of
this order it is certain that the eff
cheney Of the service SO far as delivery
to patrons Of the postoffice is con-
cerned, would be lessened TO far
greater degree than the saving Of OK.

that such league maintained its good
standing in the party, and that it did
its full share of the party work. It is
easy to see that to have n little revolu.
tion Of this kind once in a while, as
long as it can easily aud promptly be
suppressed by the action of the con-
vention and be no more heard Of in tue
campaign, gives him the prestige of
saying that there is no machine, that
Republicans are Independent, and are
not bound at all by what he may die
tate. In support of that foolish claim,
he can draw upon the public the dec
larations Of this league and say "See
how independent these men are! How
loudly they resent the idea Of submit
ting to a machine! Men like this GER
tainly are free Republicans! They are
not under the dictation of any one.
They are their own masters.

ence' is merely a bolster for Smoot,
a convenient peg for him to use TO hang
any disclaimer upon that he may wish
to make. AS long as the Independent
League does nothing more harmful TO
Smcot than to meet and fire off little
cracker such as they have Just done,

in the applause which they expect their
