Captain carter's Case.

In the Supreme Court yesterday
argument was heard in the case of ,he
Territory VS.. Captain ]. T. Carter.
This is the case In which Carter as.
saulted i. B. Moore on the Naval Sta
ton grounds. The question involved
is whether the Territorial courts have
jurisdiction of assaults committed on
the Naval Station property. Deputy
Attorney General Whitney and Deputy
County Attorney Milverton represent
ed the Territory, while Carter was rep
resented by M. F., Prosser. The court
took the matter under advisement.

quiry is made as to the party attitude
respecting Kaea. Every candidate in
the most. solemn manner promised to
support, the straight ticket, and
| straight-ticket talk was what the party
spellbinders expected to indulge in in
the campaign. But, what about Kaea,
on the ticket as convention nomi-
nee? The party can not support him.
The leaders are trying in every way
possible to get rid of him. His police
court record has been looked up and

him that is almost record. His name
on the ticket puts stop to straight
ticket campaigning and STILES any crit
icism that may be raised over Long.
Iaukea stock has gone up politically.
/ The first announcement of his candi-
, dacy came as a decided surprise, and
there was little comment on his de-
cision to run except that of surprise.
In the days that have elapsed since
the announcement was made, however,
| the electors have had an opportunity
to consider the matter, and the amount
of encouragement that both Iaukea and
Monsarrat are receiving is very graft
! flying. The voters have been remem-
] bering that the administration of the
police department under the present
Sheriff has been economical; that the
expenses have been reduced nearly a
third, and the work of the suppression
of crime has been done many times
better than in former administrations;
that the recommendations made to the
police by responsible men have been
considered and acted upon, and that
| the offices and corridors have been
cleared of the class of hangers.on and
underworld delegates such as Willie
Crawford and his bunch.
The voters are remembering that the
worst charge that has been brought
against Iaukea is that of single in
| discretion upon which neither a grand
jury nor hostile Board of supervisors
could base any charge; that not the
slightest scintilla of evidence of any
crookedness has been produced agains
the Sheriff nor any charges made, ever
unsupported ones. Comparing this rec
ord with what the county has known
the cause of Iaukea now appears by
no means the forlorn hope that it die
at first.
The same crowd that opposes itself
to Long is naturally opposed to Tau
kea, as it was before. Charley Clark
Vida, Boyd, Willie Crawford, Buffan
deau and the. general riffraff of the
party are loud in their declarations OF
what will happen to Iaukea at thu
polls, but noticeable difference i
that accorded to his candidature BY
the responsible Republicans and Thu
independent voters of that party ant
the Democratic party.
