full sway along the streets yesterday,
the Republican affairs being let alone
for the time being, with exception of
the case of George Kaea, whom the
Fifth District delegates to the Repub-
hcan convention placed on the Repre-
sentative ticket Sunday morning. Eff
fort was made to induce Kaea to with
draw from the ticket, but, presumably,
acting on the advice of his sponsor,
Charlie Achi, he refused point blank to
consider such a proposition.
Chairman Atkinson of the Republican
Territorial Executive Committee said
yesterday afternoon:
"You can say that Kaea will not APP

Kaea's record in police books is be
ing looked into, and viii be published
in its entirety. This goes back several
years, runs through the regimes of
Sheriff Henry, Sheriff Brown and Sher-
iff Iaukea. 1t mostly concerns gam
bling and conducting gambling games.
Once Kaea was fined $3.50 and costs,
and in the last two years he generally
forfeited bail rather than appear before
the police magistrate.
The matter was discussed informally
at Republican headquarters last even
ing, while the members comprising the
committee were awaiting quorum,
and they decided that Kaea was inn
possible. Kaea, in communication to
an evening paper, states that some one
offered him $3.50 to get off the ticket,
but he says he has a campaign fund of
$500, which he is going to use, and

REPUBLICANS
CONTINUED from Page one.o

| Republican Territorial Committee did
no wish to dictate, yet it desired to
| express its disapprOval of a personal
tcampaign. The subjects of the speeches
should be the platforms and general
issues.
In addition the executive committee
had already considered the question of
the speakers themselves and believed
that the use of outside speakers with
candidates would be wise plan to
follow. When there were to be a num-
Der of speakers at a meeting, there
might be two or three candidates and
two or three outsiders, for variety.
In order to carry out this plan Mr.
Castro said the executive committee
wished to have a joint meeting with
the County Committee at which all the
candidates should be present, and in
adopting this plan, Chairman Judd
named Thursday evening at 1880, at the
Fort street headquarters.
On motion, County executive com
mittee was composed of four members
from the Fourth District and four from
the Fifth District, with the chairman,
ex-officio a member. The personnel of
this committee viii be announced
Thursday evening.
Mr.. Castro announced that 10000
Hawaiian and 5000 English copies of
the Republican platform were being
printed for distribution.
The Territorial executive committee
has also arranged to have a daily rec
ord of the registration of voters, so
that when the registration closes on
October 9, the list will be complete
that night In adiourning the meeting

TRAGEDY
ENACTED IN LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles, Calf, Feb. 29..-Mrs.
Charlotte l.. Noyes, wealthy young
widow, was shot and killed last night
at her home by W. P. McComas, a
mining engineer, who had been friend.
ly with her for several months.
McComas, who gave himself up, al.
leges the woman dashed cupful of
sulphuric acid in his face before he
shot her. His face and hands are
blistered and discolored.
McComas statement is discredited
by the detectives who believe McCom.
as himself applied the acid to his
face. A quarrel over financial mat
ters is thought to have been the cause
Of the murder.
Il have known this woman for five
years and she has been bothering
me- said McComas today. Il could
not stand it any longer and put an
end to it,"
Mrs. Noyes came here from Boston
five months ago. She was shot twice,
once through the heart and once
through the head.

EX-GOVERNOR OTERO
OFFERS CASH PRIZE
To Be Awarded to Person Who Sub
mits Best Answer to Why New Mex
leo Should Be Admitted as State

Should New Mexico be admitted as
state? Here Is chance for some
body to earn little easy money. Ex-
Governor NJ. A. Otero has agreed to
put up cash purse Of 500 as the
prize to be awarded to the person an
swering the foregoing question In the
affirmative the most satisfactorily in
treatise not to exceed 5000 words,
Non.residents of the territory will be
barred from the contest, so that the
competitors will be actual citizens.
Ex-Governor Otero as we'll as every
other patriotic and public spirited citi-
zen of the territory is anxious to see
New Mexico attain self government
and the sooner the better. He has
always been champion of single
statehood for the territory, believing
1t is big enough and has population
enough to support stable state gov
ernment, and for that reason turned
a deaf ear to the proposition seeking
to have 1t lose its identity by jointure
with Arizona.
New Mexico is standing at the very
threshold of statehood at the present
time and the indications are almost
certain that it will be admitted next
year, which has prompted Mr.. Otero
to inject more interest in the state
hood movement by Offering cash
premium well worth the winning in
advancing arguments why it should
become state. There are plenty of
reasons, some of which are irrefut-
able, and the competitors will not lack
for material.
The treatise must not be simply ar.
|gumentative but 1t must be backed up
with actual statistics to prove that the
territory really is entitled to state
hood, in addition to enumerating its
varied resources, its past achieve
ments along industrial lines, and its
prospects for the future.
Journalists. lawyers. teachers. bust.
ness men, and citizens of every avo
cation or walk in life are eligible to
enter this contest, providing that they
are bona fide residents of New Mex.
leo. Former Governor Otero's plans
are to have the winning treatise read
during the meeting of the Sixteenth
National Irrigation Congress at AL
buquerque and later printed in pam.
phlet form to be used as an argument
for New MeXicos admission before
the committees on territories in the
Senate and House of Representatives.
A committee comprised of disinter-
ested persons to award the prize will
be appointed by the board of control
of the irrigation congress, the person
mel of which will be announced later.

Toxic, Feb 29.--The Japanese
