Supervisors
GET Consul
Complaint
WILL HAVE TO INVESTIGATE
BOTH THE KOMORI AND Y.
MARIN YOUNG CASES.

Governor Garter today is sending the
Komori complaint to the Supervisors
of Oahu County today, just as it was
sent to him by the Japanese consul.
This has been found to be all that the
executive can do in the matter, and
this morning Carter expressed himself
as feeling that it exposed something
of a defect in our system of govern
ment that there should be no means of
getting the truth in such matter
1T is impossible to get any evidence
out of the police department" the gov
ernor said. The supervisors have jul
risdiction and it is for them to investi-
gate If it is true that such things are
done at the police station to helpless
| persons like this Japanese, it may be
that some day the work will be bold
err, and other persons will be lawlessly
| imprisoned.
"On the other hand the affidavit
may be untrue. In any event l do not
feel that I can take any steps in the
matter.
The consul is therefore referred to
the supervisors. and it is presumed
that similar action will be taken re-
|
latter Attorney Lightfoot this morning
said that he was willing to present it
to the board and would be satisfied to
do so, if the board did not appoint a
whitewashing committee of Browns
friends to hear it. The case has not
yet been sent by the consul to the gov
ernor.

mony of Kali having been hit with the
bottle. Chase was not altogether clear
in his statements and admitted that he
had heard but few words and did not
know much of native language. Still
lChase declared he knew enough native
to understand what a person was talk
ing about. He knew that the pair had
been talking about the assault on Kali
for he could see by their motions.
Maschke denied thar sIch had been
the case and said that the native had
Ibeen talking with him about driving
some government carts.
Andrade expressed the opinion that
it was little play" this bringing in
of Chase into the court room. Chilling
worth said he knew nothing about any
play and that people talking about
dump carts" might under the circum-
lstances be sufficient to arouse suspi-
cion. Andrade said he did not suspect
Chillingworth of beins mixed up II
any little play" and Chillingwortf
expressed an equally high opinion Of
/ Andrade, and the court declared its OPP
inion that "Mr. Chase was talking
through his hat" and the taking o.
, testimony was resumed.
Maschke testified that he had seer
Kiley strike Kali in the forehead witt
a beer bottle. Alexander Hewitt testi-
fed to the same thing. Both men adj
mitted under cross examination, thai
Kiley had on previous occasions or
dered them away from his saloon. S
P .Kamaka corroborated their testi
mony about the manner of Kali being
: struck in the forehead with a bottle
by Kiley.
: The prosecution rested and the de-
fence moved for a discharge on the
= grounds of insufficient evidence. This
/ motion was denied.
r w. L. Mills, for the defence, testified
= that he had seen Kiley strike Kali ov'
err the head with a cane, but had moi
seen Kiley with any bottle. A brok'
, en- cane was introduced in evidence by
the defence. The case was continued
! until tomorrow morning
The case of assault and battery
against Dink Davis, the oarkeeper fol
/ Kiley, was also continued until to-
= morrow.
