IAUKEA ANSWERS
JUEN'S LETTER

|
his salary in proportion to all the
others. He received at first 800 a
month and was reduced to SIS. When
it came to a reprimand it was not be-
cause he did not take off his hat to me,
as the Bulletin said, but because he
went out of his road to show aisrespeet
towards his superior officer in public,
I'm keeping these two men on the
force for year consider that I have
fulfilled the political promises I made,
made against the advice of many of my
best advisers. I thought at first that
there was some occasion for an armorer
here, and appointed Turrill, but | find
that such position is sinecure. /
shall appoint no one in his place and
the money he was receiving will after
this go back into the county treasury. =
JUEN's CHARGES.
The letter from Juen, which appear
ed in last nights Bulletin, is as fol-
lows. 1t is headed knife the Traitor
is Democratic Cry"
Editor Evening Bulletin:-When I
left the police department it was my
intention to take my medicine, keep
out of the press and say nothing. But
rumor has reached my ears that Tur-
rill and myself must have committed
something more serious than what the
newspapers said, else we would not
have been removed. It's not hard for
me to guess where this comes from.
For those that are interested this is
what happened:
Iaukea called me into his private Of
fee. Parker and Taylor were present.
He wanted to know why it was I had
not noticed or saluted him more than
had. I told him that I had done so
at least a half dozen times and that
for some reason he had not returned
it, or taken any notice of me, and that
if he did not care to notice me 1 acted
accordingly This was all he accused
me of. But / could see by the way
he kept harping upon it, that it was
only a subterfuge to get me out. I
thereupon asked him if this was his
means of getting rid of me- He said
no. But l knew better-considering
the treacherous way he had lied to
me and others (and of this there is
plenty of proof about the position
was to have. wages, etc But 1 am
not the only one he did that to, for the
cry all down the Democratic line is:
knife the Traitor
I accused him also that when w. A.
Kinney went to him to see why he had
l.
salary, etc. All the satisfaction he got
was that I was not loyal, that 1 was
sore, and that was the reason he would
not stand to his promise and really
wanted me out. Gwen a worm will
turn. 1 told Kinney my opinion OF
him then. and that l would quit the
place just as soon as I could see my
way clear to do so. / do not want to
be known as a political LOB chaser"
but I had left the liquor business and
so took the first position that came
my way-nOt from choice, but from
necessity / hope I won't be condemns
ed for it but there is a certain element
in this city that have never lost an
opportunity to speak evil of me or
get in stab-yet that very same ele-
ment has used me to their advantage
in the past and this is the reward
But I am used to it.
Iaukea speaks of loyalty Great
heaven! Whom has he ever been loyal
to? He was disloyal to the royal fam
lily that made him: to the Republican
party: 10 the Home Rule party, and
the Democratic party. We wonder
what will be the next party. He ought
TO be the last man to speak of loyalty
for it is not in his makeup I was
loyal to the Democratic party before
Iaukea had ceased jumping from one
party to the other
