OF MONEY USED THERE IN
PROSECUTING CRIMINAL CASES

for Maui today by the steamer Kinau

sions and will after he secures the de-
sired information, make known to the

GEAR CONDEMNS
CONTEST DECISION


II cannot say at this time whether
or not a. NJ. Brown will appeal to the
United states Supreme Court i'm the
matter of his contest of the alleged
election of Curtis Iaukea as sheriff Of
this county" said Judge George d.
Gear, attorney for Sheriff A. NJ. Brown.
this afternoon, that is matter for
consideration. But one thing [ will
say l would rather be in the place Of
a. NJ. Brown and defeated than be in
the place of Curtis Iaukea and declar-
ed elected under such a decision as
that just rendered by the Hawaiian
Supreme Court
The decision just rendered is against
all decisions bearing on the matter.
one has but to take cursory glance
at the statute to observe that the de-
cision is contrary to the statute.
I'VE had not considered an appeal
for the reason that We had every rea-
son to suppose that the court had de-
cided that Brown was elected and we
had no reason to believe that the SUI
preme Court would reverse itself or
that it would decide the case in any
! but a legal way. Just how far Cover
nor Carriers opposition to Brown might
unknowingly influence an appointee of
his 1 do not know, but think that this
extraordinary decision is a good argu-
ment for the contention Of some law
| yers that the Supreme Court should
| consist of five men and they might
even better be appointed away from
here. If five men away from here
were appointed it might give a feeling
of greater security to the people. A
decision, such as this, against the sta.
! tute, is a piece of judicial legislation
l never was more surprised i'm my life
than l am AT the decision rendered by
two of the justices in this contest OF
! election"

THE SUPREME COURT
SAYS IAUKEA WINS
Continued from Page one>.

fetal count as given in the opinion to-
day is Iaukea 2S62 votes and Brown
2,842 votes, a majority of 40 votes for
Iaukea. His original majority was IA
so the contest proceedings have result
ed in his gaining 26 votes.
The opinion enters at considerable
length into a consideration of the char
acter of ballots that were rejected by
the court and rejected by the inspec-
tors of election. The syllabus of the
opinion is especially interesting upon
Ahese points and the future election ms
pectors will no doubt be provided with
rules based upon the opinion given by
the court this morning. The opinion
states that the court was liberal in
it's construction and wherever possible
favored counting the ballots, rather
than depriving the voter of his vote.
The general points given in the OPT
Mon were printed yesterday in the re-
port of the ruling announced by the
court when it determined to count the
ballots where more names than offices
to fill, had been voted for.
Eugene Buffandeau the assistant
clerk about whose integrity there had
been considerable suspicion cast,
energies from the proceedings COM
pletely indicated. The court is most
positive on this score and in dealing
with the insinuatOns of possible fraud
in tampering with the ballots after
they had been entrusted to the custody
of the county clerk, the opinion says:
1.-THE respondent objected to the in
PRODUCTION Of any of the ballots in evil
dence until it was shown affirmatively
that they were in the same condition
in which they were when they were
cast and when they were deposited by
the inspectors with the county clerk
their legal custodian. This was done
to the satisfaction of the court not
withstanding that an assistant clerk In
the county clers office, who was also
an assistant clerk of the Republican
county committee, which was composed
largely of special adherents of the Pc
titioner and whose chairman was tho
clerk of the petitioner, who Is the pre-
sent county sheriff, also had access tC
the ballots by reason of knowing the
combination and having duplicate

SEARCH FOR VANISHED
NECKLACE IN CORFU,

Paris Bee 12.-According TO "A
story published here, the Emperor
Francis Joseph has sent trusted em-
issary to Corfu, with instructions to
ascertain the whereabouts Of mag
nifcent necklace, once the property
of his murdered consort the Empress
Elizabeth.
There is romantic story attached
to this necklace During the last few
years of her life the empress lest all
interest IN her beautiful jewels, ex
cept in beautiful pearl necklace tc
which she had given the namc OF
the tears of the Madonna"
One day it was noticed that the
gems were beginning to lose theil
lovely sheen The empress who was
then staying at the imperial villa al
Corfu, became impressed with the
idea that the Only way to restore
their lost radiance would be to lay
them in the sea for a period cf a year
The necklace was accordingly placed
in box provided with holes to allow
free access of the water, and one
dark night her majesty, accompanied
| by a lady of the court, repaired to ;
lonely spot ON the island where the
treasure was sunk into tie sea.
chain attached to the box was fas
tened to e. rock Shortly before th'
| expiration of the twelvemonth, IN,
empress met her fate at Geneva a
the hands OF the assassin Luccheni
When the lady OF honor who alon'
shared the secret, went TO recoye
the necklace. the chain had been cut
which remains now to be solved.
