The statement has been frequently
made of late, that the offence OF drunk
enness was being winked at by the
police for political purposes.
In other words, that Sheriff Brown
had instructed his menials not to modest
intoxicated persons, provided they look
ed like voters.
Brown IS supporters have Indignantly
denied this and up to the present their
word has had to be taken.
This is not the case any longer, how
ever. The cat is out of the bag and as
unscrupulous piece of malfeasance
for political ends as has ever been
brought to light, today confronts the
County Sheriff and those to whom he
is appealing for votes Oh the grounds
of conscientious discharge of the duties
of his office.
From October to October 8, in
elusive, twenty-seven arrests for drunk
enness were made in Honolulu. The
district court records show that only
nine cases of drunkenness were
brought before Judge Whitney from
October to October g. The remain
ing eighteen arrests are unaccountec
for.
Following is copy of the police
station blotter on which arrests are
recorded as the offenders are brought

they abandoned their previous claims
and presented two new propositions,
asking for sliding Tcale increase of
pay or an advance in wages of 10
cents ton upon the total production.
These too, were rejected by the operat-
Ors, who announced that the utmost of
their concessions would be a renewal
of the agreement reached by the an
thracite strike commission and a limit
ed arbitration of new issues that have
arisen since the commissions award
was made.
With the stipulation that the men
who quit work ON April l be taken
back, Mr.. Mitchell advocated the ac-
ceptance of these terms. He recon-
mended this course, not because he con-
sidered the miners original demands
unjust, but because he believed they
