ton for registration as aforesaid be-
fore said Board of Registration, said
Board of Registration and the members
thereof having lawful authority to ad-
minister said oath, did knowingly, false
~, unlawfully and feloniously state
that he, the said Walloch resided at
the corner of Queen street and Richard
street, within the sixth precinct of the
fourth registration and election district
Of the Territory of Hawaii, in Honolulu
aforesaid, whereas in truth and in fact
he, the said Walloch did not reside on
the corner of Richard street and Queen
street. or within said iXth precinct Of
the fourth registration and election dis
trict of the Territory of Hawaii, in said
Honolulu, then and there and thereby
committing the crime of perjury
Gear declared that the indictments
had been rushed through the grand jury
just before election and that the mat
ter was one concerning the election,
hence an immediate trial ought to be
had. He said that the facts of the in
dictments having been found would be
used as campaign material and that
the defendants were entitled to have
all the facts brought out at once and
before election.
Deputy Attorney General Prosser
agreed that the men should have u
speedy trial, but thought they should
take their places on the calendar The
next free date i'm Lindsay's calendar
was found to be November s, and the
cases We're finally set for that date
Judge Lindsay fixed the bail at $1CO in
each case.
The case of Sam Johnson is also to
have been taken up by the Grand jury
Sam has residence on Aloha lane,
where he has had a home for many
years He also has residence i'm Ka-
kaako, as he is frequently up starting
the road work from the stables at four
in the morning. At the time of regis
tering johnson asked Chairman Chill
lingworth of the Board of Registration,
which place he ought to register from.
He was told he could choose either
place as residence and chose the Ka-
kaakO precinct.

Hutchison's name is on the official bal

that he was receiving many letters
from election officers asking for cor
rections of the printed official lists. II

officers are taking the trouble i'm ad-
vance to compare the written lists with
the printed ones" said Chilngworth,

auckland yesterday called upon
Sheriff Brown to discuss with him the
matter of police duty on election day
Brown stated that h would pursue
about the same policy as last time
when the election was a very quiet one.
Police officers will be allowed time in
which to vote, and the precincts gem
orally will be guarded by men under
instructions to preserve order. II is
not thought that there will be. any dis
