down for five days.
Sergeant Gourieux charged that he
entered the engine house at 4:25
o'clock Tuesday morning from a rear
door and that Clark was asleep and
while Bryant had his hands over his
eyes he raised up when he (Gour-
ieux) walked in the door.
"At the investigation. as exclusive
ly announced in the News-Democrat
yesterday, Policeman Bryant stated
that he believed that Clark was
asleep
Sergeant Gourieux stated that
Clark did not even know when he
entered the rear door or when he left
the station.
CLARK contended that he was not
asleep.
Noah Story, fireman on watch at
the. station, said that he did not be-
lieve that Clark was asleep; that he
had just come in from the Union
station and hardly had time to fall
asleep. So
CLARK intimated that the charges
was the result of personal feeling be-
tween Sergeant Gourieux and him
self. The sergeant declared that per-
sonal feelings did not figure at all
and that he acted through orders
from Chief Collias.
"The commissioners left 1t to Chief
Colliis TO decide.
"As II is against his orders for two
patrolmen on the same beat to enter
house at the same time, unless II
is on active duty, he suspended both
patrolmen for five days.
he also issued orders Thursday
night that the policemen must not
go into houses or fire stations to re-
port at the same time. One man on
every beat must remain in the open
all the time"

The truth is that, not only are
there a host Of bona fde Democrats
who expect 10 vote for Taft. but the
Harrison-Lang faction, which control
the chairman and has the officers; ex-
poets, by leaving the whole matter
of a voters qualifications in the
hands of the officers, to be able to
prevent registered Democrats from
voting for candidates for circuit
judge. sheriff and county clerk, whom
the dominant faction opposes.
This effort has stirred up a lively
row in the camp, and many express

MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION
MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION

In this weeks issue of the Out
look the Rev. Lyman Abbott explains
the personal issues" of the present
national campaign. He says:
The outlook did not share in the
epidemic of hysteria which swept
over the eastern states in 1896 on
the nomination of Mr.. Bryan upon
his somewhat hysterical platform:
,,"You shall not press down upon the
brow OF labor this crown of thorns;
you shall not cruelty mankind upon a
cross of gold" II opposed, vigor-
Iously, his election; 1t affirmed that
free silver would aggravate the ills
which Mr.. Bryan thought would cure.
But it did not impugn his motives nor
assall his character Nor shall l in
this article be wanting in the respect
which is due to a man who eight
years ago represented the aspirations
of over six millions of Americans,
and still represents probably at least
an equa, number. | do not mean to
lsay anything in this article which
courtesy would forbid me from say
ing in Mr.. Bryan's presence. But
the question which We are to decide
in this campaign Is, practically, ITO
which of two persons will we intrust
the responsibilities of the presidency
for the next four years." and to de-
ciie that question wisely we must
compare their respective quslifica-
tions for the Office.
What. then. are the qualities most
needed in the president of the United
States?
The president is the chief execu-
tive; "a reduced and improved copy
Of the English king" says Mr.. Bryce
has the powers of a constitutional
British king" says Professor Slim
son, Except in so far as those powers
are taken from him in other parts of
the constitution and entrusted to
other bodies" He is the commander
in-chief of the army and navy, and,
though he cannot declare war. he can
easily involve the nation in was
which congress will be powerless to
prevent. Upon him primarily and
upon his appointees depends the eff
Ifective administration of justice by
the federal courts. To him is largely
Entrusted the administration OF the
business affairs OF the nation in its
postoffice. treasury and interior de-
partments and in its lighthouse and
quarantine systems, the completion
of the Panama canal, the carrying on
of the river and harbor improve
ments, the forestry service and the
Irrigation development, in some part
Me government of our organized
territories, in large part the govern
ment OF the dependencies. Upon him
Idevolves the general direction of all
international affairs. His power to
recommend and to veto legislation
makes him much the most influential
single figure in the legislative de-
|partment of government; his power
to appoint judges has enabled him at
times to exert a far-reaching infiu-
ence on the judicial history of the
nation. as instanced by Adams APP
pointment of Marshal, Jackson's APP
pointment of fancy. and Lincoln's
of Chase. He has come
to be the leader of his party, and,
since that is presumptively the jomi-
nant party, the leader of the nation.

measure, opposed by the Demo-
Gratis as a party i'm congress after

Wheeler, of this city. when q

speech against IL. The Demo-
Gratis feared that extension of the
free delivery would disseminate
literature and newspapers and
extend the Republican influence
through the enlightenment thus
afforded.

As a result Of the proposed agree
ments made locally with the Matson
Navigation Company, which are to cut
into the freight carrying Of the Ameri-
ean-Hawaiiau Company, it IS stated
that the latter company VIII shortly put
into effect new triangular service to
meet the Matson run. Heretofore the
American Hawaiian has had no steam
ers running direct from Honolulu to the
Sound, all freight for Sound ports hav-
ing to 90 by way Of San Francisco. A
triangular run had been established
from Honolulu to Salina Cruz. to San
Francisco and back here. Now, on the
northern side a similar run viii shortly
be commenced, from Honolulu to Seat
tie, to san Francisco, and back here.
This Seattle steamer is expected to
secure much Of the pineapple freight

eording to the testimony of the wife,
his infdelity with this woman was dis
cussed between them, and was one of
the difficulties in the way of recon
citation. and she testified that when
the efforts at reconciliation finally fail
ed her husband went to living with
this woman.
Thus County Attorney Catheart was
compelled to listen in the trial of the
case to sworn testimony that his client
was guilty of crime for which it
was his duty as public prosecutor to
set proceedings in motion to punish
him. He was actually engaged before
Judge Lindsay in defending man
against accusations of crime. If the
statute quoted in yesterdays Advertiser
means anything, it means that County
Attorney Cathcart is not merely guilty
of a gross improperly, but as it would
seem of conduct for which he should
be disbarred.

SAN FRANCISCO, September "a
After being marooned sixty four days
on barren coral island in the midst
Of the South Seas, the four women,
two children and forty members of
the crew of the wrecked steamer Aeon
are to see the welcome sight of a ship
bearing down on their desolate island
refuge To carry them back TO civiliza-
ton. Gable adviees received in this
city this morning brought the word
that the Canadian Australian liner
Manuka arrived today at Tanning Is
land. took aboard Captain Downie, the
second officer and two engineers of the
Aeon and put off for Christmas Island
to pick up the eastaways.
The Manuka viii hurry on to the
rescue and land passengers and crew
in Sydney on October 5. The United
States supply steamer Solace, sent on
by orders from Washington as soon as
the news of the disaster was learned
by wireless, viii arrive too late to rem
der aid. according to latest advices.
The captain of the Solaee, however,
has been ordered by Secretary Metealf
of the Navy TO make an investigation
into the possibilities of saving the
wrecked vessel at the request of the
English underwriters.
The casfawavs know nothing of the
fate of the captain and the members
of the crew who left them in small
ships boat many days ago to carry
the story Of their plight to the Fan
ming Islands and bring help. The deli
cate women and children, camping in
