FAKE DENIES CHARGES
Voting Machine Demonstrators
Case Brings Row in Board

OAKLAND, Oct. 19.-InTestigation of
the charges that Thomas Fake, a
Berkeley voting machine demonstrator,
had used his position to advance the
candidacy of S. j. Hill. democrat,
against f. W. Foss. republican nominee
for supervisor for the fourth district,
brought on a lively row before the
board of supervisors today. Before 1t
was concluded there had been talk Of
shotguns to secure the rights of demo-
Gratis, wholesale condemnation of voting
machines and charges that democrats
were kept of election boards by unfair
means.
Fake, under oath. denied that he had
Disseminated against Foss. He said
that some voters had asked to be
shown how to scratch names on the
machines and that only when they had
asked specifically had he shown how
Foss' name could be scratched from
the regular ticket. Foss presented af-
fidavits in support of his contention
During the discussion William Ashe
of San Francisco said that democrats
were appointed on election boards who
took orders and stayed at home while
republicans took their places, and that
the democrats would have their rights
this fall IL he had to arm his forces
with shotguns.

AUTO LAW
is VALID
SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS THE
ORDINANCE PASSED BY THE
. COUNTY SUPERVISORS.

The county automobile ordinance,
over which there has been considerable
dispute ever since its enactment, was
held to be valid this morning in
decision of the Supreme Court in the
case of the Territory VS.. G. E. Schaefer.
The cnief objection to the ordinance
was it's unconstitutionality in the
brief which was filed by Thompson
and Clemons, the attorneys for the de-
fendant. This was knocked out by the
Supreme Court, the opinion being
written by Justice A. A. Wilder.
The making of a distinction between
residents and non-residents was
held to be class legislation. In this
matter it is held that since non-resi-
dents. who are temporarily in the
Territory, are required to register their
cars, there is not enough difference
to make the law unconstitutional.
/ The second contention that the law
providing that all local chauffeurs
must register while nOn-residents who
are in the Territory temporarily are
not required to, is class legislation, is
thrown out in the following manner;
1--WE are not required to put a forced
construction on language, in order to
obtain an absurd result-we are forced
to the conclusion that the words are
meaningless and consequently do not
affect the balance of the statute sec
tion. That being the case there is
absolutely no discrimination in this
section between what may be called
resident and nonresident chauffeurs. y
In the final matter, the contention
that the ordinance has been repeated
superseded or impliedly repealed by
the Territorial act of 1907, the court
states that: This poit of law was not
states that: "This point of law was not
consequently cannot be considered"
The fine of $25 imposed by the Dis
trict Court on a charge of Needless and
furious driving is therefore upheld
and must he paid by the defendant.

Achi the Civic Federation candi-
date for mayor.
This is the amazing rumor that is
about town today, and there is good
grounds for it. Achi has long had
close and friendly relations with w. r.
Castle, who is probably the most in
tiuential member of the Federation,
and some of the Feds don't want eth
er Lane or Fern. The Feds are ex-
pected to make a declaration next
week, and it is actually possible that
it will be for Achi for mayor. 1t will
probably be in favor of Long for coun-
ty attorney, the federation having be-
come Injured to leading fOrlorn hopes.
Tomorrow's Advertiser is expected
to be a special Cathcart edition. The

PEAL FOR MORE PUBLIC SPIRIT
ED INTEREST IN REPUBLICANS.

1T is about time that the voters of
the Fourth District awoke to the i'm
portance of the campaign" Charles F..
Chillingworth, the Republican chief
lieutenant, said this afternoon.
THE Republican party supports Gov
ernor Frear in his excellent admins
tration. 1t has a Legislative and a
municipal ticket which are the best
and most representative of the people
among the tickets before the voters.
wThrefore, it is time that the Fourth
District people turned out In larger
numbers to the meetings. They ought
to be present in full force at the Aala
Park meeting Saturday evening, to lend
their moral support to the party and
the men and measures under the. Re-
publican standard"
On Saturday night, Mr.. Kaleiopu will
reply to criticisms of his conduct with
regard to health measures at last ses-
sion of the legislature.
ANY cards Of candidates, if left at
ReDuDlltdu ntduN utll NSio 'A'At @A'' @-N
leiopu, will be given by him to the
party runners for distribution in the
precincts.
A meeting of the Republican County
Committee for candidates will be held
at headquarters at five o'clock this aft
ernoon, for having certain misunder-
standings explained, also to give the
candidates an opportunity to offer sug-
gestions.
A thousand dodgers have been dis
tributed among workers for advertising
the meeting at Palama tonight.
Fifteen hundred dodgers have been
issued for the meeting at Aala park
tomorrow night.
There will be an edition of 1900
pamphlets in Hawaiian, containing a

QUARTER MILLION
DOLLARS COMING

The paymasters of the Pacific fleet
will draw from the First National
Bank, the depository of the funds of
the Federal Government in this city,
the sum of $25O,OOO during their pres
ent stay in this city, according to a
statement made by President L. Tenney
Peck. Part of this will be for the
pay roll and part will be used to pay
for an enormous amount of supplies
These will be purchased here in much
larger quantities than would have been
the case if the fleet had sailed from
here directly for San Francisco.
This money will all come from the
vaults of the First National Bank but
will be distributed all through the city,
the merchants getting it and allowing

the threat that it would all be pub
lished if Cathcart didn't withdraw.
The matter was taken up by J. P.
Cooke, A. f. Judd and w. o. Smith,
and the committee came to the conclu-
sion that there was nothing in the
charges" warranting their asking
Cathcart to withdraw from the ticket.
On the contrary, the committee has
little respect for the charges.
No request in any form whatsoever
has been made by anyone that Cath
cart withdraw. There is not the
slightest truth" he said this morning,
''in the Advertiser intimations that |
have been asked to withdraw. Alb
solutely no such intimation has been
made to me- Fellow candidates have
come to me with expressions of en-
couragement and hope that | would
stay on the ticket. I have never had
the slightest thought of withdrawing
I wouldn't even consider such a pro-
position, even if the Advertiser threat
ened to devote its whole front page
to me every day until election"
The Civics are expected to endorse
Wise for sheriff.

Gets A ROAST
FROM THE COURT
ACHJ DISCLAIMS THE AUTHOR
SHIP OF A VERY PECULIAR
LEGAL DOCUMENT.

If Charlie Achi, the "LabOrula" can
didate for Mayor, is not more success
ful in his election than he was this
mCIping i'll the divorce suit which he
attempted to conduct before Judge
Lindsay, he will not worry the other
candidates in any respect whatever.
The libel filed in the case of Ngee VS..
Ngee, in which W. c. Achi represents
the libelant, was such a crude piece OF
work that Judge Lindsay instructed
the attorney that he would have moth
ing to do with the case till papers were
filed which were understandable.
There was but one ground given fci
the action which would hold water,
that of non-support, and this was writ
ten in such manner that it would
take Chinaman reading backwards
and Philadelphia lawyer to make
anything out of it. A second ground
offered was that the libelant had been
deserted for two years and a half. Since
the law in this Territory calls for proof
of desertion for three years. this was
worthless.
| Judge Lindsay read the riot act to
Achi in good shape, and then the lat
ter disclaimed writing the libel He
was told that so far as the court was
concerned he was the father of it and
was certainly responsible. When the
| libelant was placed on the stand she
made a statement of interest, stating
that the libel had been prepared for
her by Manuel, the United tSates At
| torney."

in both the Federal decisions ana
those of the Supreme and Circuit
courts. The work is now in the pro-
cess of revision, but has been sub
mitted to several of the leading attOr-

mendation of it's value.
This book will include a complete
digest of all the decisions of the Su-
preme Court as well as a table of all
cases which have been cited by the
local Supreme Court from other juris-
dictions. Also a complete digest of all
cases which have been decided in the
Federal Court of this District and OF
all Hawaiian cases which have been
decided by the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals and the United States Supreme
Court.
One of the most important things
will be the digest of the construction
of statutes. In every case where the
Supreme Court has been called on tc
give a construction of this statute this
is shown fully. Such a work has long
been needed in this Territory and its
publication will be awaited with {
