Dor camps. A law calling for the con-
sent of property owners in the vicin-
ity, before such establishments can
be maintained, is proposed.
One of the most prominent candi-
dates for Senator in the coming cam
paign on the Democratic ticket will
be H. T. Moore. His record as super-
Visor for the first term two years I'M
der the county act, is what he relies
on to bring him many votes and he
believes that he will be able to make
strong fight. Moore has been liv-
ing at Pearl City for the past year or
more, but of late has been in Honolulu
a good deal, building up mis- political
fences for the coming campaign.
Charles Aehi made rather bad
Nbreak last night, according to the
wise ones among the local politicians.
He thought he could add 10 his
strength by the bringing into his fold
of one of the strongest politicians OF
the Kakaako district but miscounted
his chips and turned loose his full
plans to the wrong man, who promptly
refused and has spread the news
around among his friends that they
might know just how things were 60
ing on.
Last night Achi sent for George Ka-
wal, the ex-policeman who is one of
the strongest of the minor political
leaders in Kakaako. Hawai- went to
Achis house, where he found the willy
Charles and several other politicians
of the so-called Seven-Eleven gang.
Among these were Kaea and
his followers. Achi told Hawai- that
it was about time that he came in.
He said that he was for Hustace and
wanted to beat out Jack Lucas and
John Lane. Hawai- waited without
sayong anything and then Achi told OF
his real scheme. He said that he
wanted Hustace nominated for mayor
by the Republicans and would then
wait for the Democrats to make theil
nomination, helping them if possible
to put up a good vote getter After
both parties had placed their nomi.
nees in the field he said that he woulC
come out himself as an Independent
candidate, on the pretence that Hus
tace had not treated him on the
square, and would be able to hold the
balance of power and get the chic
magistrates chair for himself
Hawai- could not see that there wa.
anything doing of this kind and re
fused to take part in any agreement
leaving the assembly with the remark
that if the Seven-Eleven gang was al
that Achi had behind him it was MOI
the crowd that he wanted.
In regard to the putting of Rath
burn to work in the road department
as team luna, Road Supervisor Ton
Cummins states that he did this him
self, without any suggestion from Ach
or Hustace. He says the former luna
showed up drunk at the stables ont
morning and was laid off by DaviC
Crowningberg. He came back late
| in the day and tried to get his hors'
and buggy and when this was refus
ed him, as he was not at work, HI
went to Cummin's Office in the Capito
building where he behaved so badly
through the influence of liquor, tina
he was forcibly expelled from the of
| fee He was told to go home, sob
er up and then come back He ha
been suspended for month, on &C
count of his behavior and his goini
back to work depends on himself.
In Rathburns case he had worke,
for the department under Col John
son and had made a good record, ieav
ing to take a position as inspector'un
der the Board of Health, and takini
with him a recommendation from Col
Johnson When Cummins first too
his present position he says that h
promised Rathburn a chance and whel
this opportunity came he made good
putting him in as a good man for wor
and without any regard to his politi
cal Affiliations.
