ANTI-SALOON
LEAGUE COMES OUT
4 RESOLUTION AND ADDRESS TO
THE PUBLIC, OPPOSING CANDT-
DACN or BROWN

The Auti-Saloon League met yester-
day afternoon and adopted the follow
ing resolution and address to the pub
lie:
owing to a public misinterpretation
of the position taken by the Anti
Saloon League at its last meeting, con-
corning reform in the police admins
tration of the County of Oahu, we
hereby resolve that the Anti-Saloon
League place itself plainly on record
as opposed to the election of A. NJ.
Brown as Sheriff and II. G. Vida as
Deputy Sheriff"
ITO the Public:-The Anu-Saloon
League has been taking note Of the
speeches made from night to night at
the various political rallies and the be-
havior in connection herewith
Sheriff Brown and some of his back
ers boldly declare that he is not to
blame for the present unhappy condi-
lions regarding the liquor evil. They
attempt to create the impression that
the police are powerless to improve
conditions under the present law be-
cause the law permits all that is 60
ing on.
We feel it due the cause of truth tc
bear witness to the contrary The
laws are far from satisfactory. But
even as they are, conditions would he
much improved if they were enforced
We happen to know that they are not
enforced. We also happen to know
that the police know they are not en-
forced.
But, what makes the matter very
much worse is the fact that Sheriff
Brown, in seeking reelection, does not
promise to do any better. Rather, in
his speeches as reported, he boasts
| that he will not mend his ways. He de.
clares that he will pursue the same
course he has been pursuing in the
past That means a continuation Of
| non-enforcement. Give him a better
law and how much better would con.
| ditions be-
1T certainly behooves those inter.
ested in seeing conditions improved t.
vote for change in the present police
| administration.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 26.-The
Mayor has suspended County Attorney
Langdon on a charge of dereliction of

secution, to surrender his so-called evil
dence of police graft. Langdon will
claim his rights, as his Office is a con-
stitutional one with which the Mayor

SLAYER OF VQSS
IS NOT TALKAT|VE
Murderer Day Has Relapsed
Into MOr0Se State of
Mind.
STUBB0RNLY REFUSES
TO DISCUSS TRAGEDY
Defendant Is Formally Charged
With Murder in First
Degree.

A. 7. Day, the slayer of Horace Fl.
Voss, has relapsed into morose state
of mind III his cell at the city prison
and refuses stubbornly to say word
regarding the tragedy, AS vet he has
secured no attorney to look after his
defense, If, indeed he intends TO make
any.
But little can be learned of Day s an
tecedents. He has told some persons
see and others that he hailed from
Texas, 1T is known that since he came
here he has been employed by the Elk
aud the Alta clubs and that be was
discharged from both ON account Of
his drinking habits. His latest en-
ployment has been as a coachmap with
Aaron Keyser, the real estate man at
445 South West Temple street.
Day was, on Monday afternoon, for
mally charged with murded in the first
degree. 1t is not likely that the case
will be called until after the funeral of
Voss, which has not yet been set. The
murdered politician Will he buried un-
der the auspices of the various orders
and societies of which he was a mem
Der and from the elaborate arrange
ments that are being made it is certain
that the funeral will be the largest ever
given a colored citizen in this section
of the country.
The societies which will take an ac-
tive part In the arrangements for and
the carrying out OF the funeral are:
The Afro NJ. E. church, of which de-
ceased was a trustee and steward; the
Grand United Order Of Odd Fellows, in
which organization he was one of the
most prominent members; the House
