CONVENTION DATE NOT SET

Following the Democratic city
primary interest has centered on the
probable makeup OF the Republican
ticket. Unless some of the present
officials decline further municipal
honors, the major portion of the
ticket will not be hard TO guess, as
the present members of the board
of councilmen and aldermen and the
school board seem TO have properly
represented their constituents, and
in the opinion Of most Republicans
are entitled TO a second term. if they
desire Il.

the legislative department as radical.
The board is conservative and the

man.

SENATOR BAILEY
WORRIES FRIENDS
Cannot Conceive of His Sell

Baltimore Sun Comments on His
Employment by Standard OH

NEWS OF NATIONAL CAPITAL

Washington, Sept. "a It Is In
conceivable here among the friends
of Senator Bailey. who have so long
watched with admiration his brilliant
public life, always on the side of the
people against the aggressions of
capital, that he should have accepted
legal fee from any company know
ing that it came to him by reason of
his official position or the influence
he brought to the bar because he was
a member of the United States sem
ate.
II is more conceivable that Sena-
tor Bailey was legally employed be-
cause he was known to be familiar
with state statutes and one Of the
great constitutional lawyers of the
day. Nearly half. II not two-thirds.
of the senate Is made up of lawyers.
most of whom have a large legal
practice. and it is unjust to suppose
that this practice has been obtained
only by virtue OF their Offices.
The amount OF fees received by
these practiclng senatorial attorneys
cuts no figure in the case. Some of
the senator's work hard at their lie.
gal profession during the interim OF
the senate sessions and do not make
as much as their salary from the
government, while others realize
large fees, especially those who look
after corporation interests.
1t would be best II all of the lat
ter should be disqualified OF seats in
the senate, for as Mr.. Bryan says, It
Is hard to serve two masters. These
days a man of brains and capacity
cannot afford to serve as a senator
without he has outside competence.
His salary would not pay his actual
living expenses at Washington.
While the government is squan-
dering millions upon millions a year
at home and in its possessions. it
should at least double the pay of its
lawmakers so that they would have
no good excuse to go outside for a
living. In fact, the rapid pace we are
going is pretty tough on poor man.
Be he ever so worthy, popular and
merltorious, he Is cut off from hold
ing office either nv excessive en-
trance fees in a primary election or
the exactions upon his salary when
elected.
But returning to Senator Bailey,
the Baltimore Sun. in its leading ed
ltorial today, believes absolutely in
his innocence and concludes as fol-
lows:
1T is to be hoped that Mr.. Bailey
will pass through this ordeal with
out even the smell of fire on his
garments and satisfy his people that
all his conduct has been sincere He
is one of the ablest OF American
statesmen and his ability is recog-
| niZed. If his great gifts and attain
ments should prove, to have been us
ed against the people. whom, he pro-
fesses to serve, it will make a pro-
found impression upon the country
and tend to destroy confidence In
public servants"

CHILLINGWORTH BOASTS THE
PUBLIC FOR FAILING TO AT
TEND TO REGISTRATION.

Chairman S. F. Chillingworth of the
Board of Registration for the district
is not one of those who are enthusi-
astic over the proposition of having
the Board sit all day after it's return
to this city, in order that citizens who
have failed to register may all have a
chance. In fact Chillingworth declares
that he will do nothing of the kind.
"Sit all day." he said, after remain
ing idle in session all these days and
waiting for people to come? Not for
me. We have advertised and pleaded
and done all we could to warn people,
and they let it go day after day, leav-
ing us idle. Now they are talking of
asking us to drop all our own bust
ness and hold all day sessions to ac-
commodate them. The law says six
hours day, and that is oil I can give
to it. People should learn to take such
matters up in proper time.
| Anyhow" continued the chairman
more mildly, Il think we shall prob
ably be able to register everybody in
time, by means of the regular sessions
such as we have been holding. If the
people will come when we return tc
Honolulu, we can get them all on the
list. If they stay away it is their own
fault"

Watching
Witnesses
HAWAIIAN SAID TO MAKE SPE-
CIAL REPORTS TO QUEEN IN
CERTAIN CASES.

Is there kahuna at work I'm the Cir
cult Court? During the hearing Of
every important or hard fought native
case, there is always a certain little
old man in court watching the proceed
ing and listening to the testimony. His
name is Kaleo, and he has quite rep
utation as a kahuna, whine as a chant
err of meles he is i'm the first class
Kaleo is said to report even to the
Queen in cases where the testimony
concerns the royal family or any of
the high chiefs During the many
hearings Of the Kuniallea estate mat
ter, he has been a constant attendant
in court listening to all the testimony.
The Kuniakea estate matter is one
that concerns some of the bluest Ha-
waiian blood, and Kaleo is said to
have been a sort of court reporter for
the Queen and Others wto are anxious
to know what testimony is being taxi
en-.
Kaleo's presence is said to have a
very good effect on the witnesses,
whatever be the object NJ his constant
attendance in a certain class of cases.
He has a powerful effect in inducing
them to try and be truthful, for he Is
posted himself, and likely quickly tc
detect any attempts at Justification.
Kaleo was quite a prominent figure
during some of the legislative sessions
and during some of the recesses he en-
tertained with meles that were rea
hummers in their line.

precipitated a split At the caucus Of
the Fourth and Fifth Districts on the
previous week, it had been decided
that A. Fernandez should be supervi-

of the district supervisors from the
Fifth District. But considerable press
ure had been brought to bear on Har-
vey to induce him to become the can

being for Fernandez to drop back to a
district supervisor. But Fernandez
and his followers did not relish this
change and a brisk fight resulted.
The sentiment of the Fourth District
seemed to favor Harvey But a deter
mined effort was made to prevent the
Fourth from overriding the agreement
made in the caucus. Harvey made a
speech which he stated that IL 1t came

Judge De Bolt, land the court under
stands that the venire never left the
office of the deputy sheriff. No one
was served, and here we are without a
jury"
Hubbell said he had asked for the
deputy sheriff when he left the venire
at the station, and had been told that
Kalakiela was at the Democratic con-
vention and would be back soon. He
proposed having the document sent to
Kalakiela, but was told that the latter
would soon be back.
Sheriff Brown was sent for Wy De
Bolt and told of the situation. 81 first
heard of the venire half an hour ago, "
said Brown. Il left the police station
at six last night and had heard nothing
, of it, The deputy sheriff usually serves
jurors if he is there to do so. If not,

today. I understand he was busy 40
, ing politics last night and that may
account for it. If the clerk who re-
ceived the venire couldn't find the de-
putty sheriff he should have given the
venire to me and 1 would have seen
that it was served"
Kingsbury and Prosser continued
their discussion of what should be done.
] fr,r he
titled to the 26 names that had been
drawn and said he would take an ex-
ception if the venire was not served.
Prosser said it was a dead venire and
the names ought to go back into the
box.
Judge De Bolt said he would with
draw the venire altogether and order it
reissued just as it was. This was done,
and the same &c citizens were therefore
subpoenaed for two this afternoon. The
venire was handed personally to Sheriff
Brown.
Prosser remarked that a nolle PROSE-
might result from the courts ruling.
During the argument he had said that
! the jury law was highly technical, and
the nolle pros proposition was an alter
native to going ahead with a trial in
which he felt there was error.
Before eXcusing the jury Judge De
Bolt gave the usual warning about
talking about the case, and added an
instruction that the Jurors even refrain
from talking to the attorneys at all,
on any subject. "Of course you can
| say Good Morning" he added. But
/ think IL better not Ia have any other
communication"
Judge De Bolt said that he felt that
the failure of the deputy sheriff to at
tend to his duty should not be passed
over "Of course" he added, "the
sheriff may in a measure be said to be
responsible, But the deputy has al
ways done this work and the sheriff
has not that control Of the deputy
which he would have were the power of
appointment in his hands. In a sense
the deputy sheriff is absolutely indie

COUNTY OFFICES.

The Democratic County convention
completed its work last night after
nearly four hours of continuous ses-
