The Farce.

Sheriff Iaukea is not guilty.
The special committee of the Super
visors solemnly find him not guilty of
anything, in their report which was
presented at the meeting of the Su,
pervisors last night.
Hustace objected to it, and moved
to reject the report, but there were
five votes against him and the report
was adopted.
The report was as above.
Hustace Objects.
"Is this all of the report1" asked
Hustace as soon as the Clerk finished
reading it.
at seems 10 me that you didn t go
into the matter very deeply. | ex-
pected a great deal more of report
than that.
"Mr. Cox, will you take the Chairf
want to make motion. | move that
this report be rejected and that tn
evidence be placed Mt the disposal of
the Board to let it draw its own con-
illusions.
There was no second to Hustace's
motion for quite n while, though fiery
argument about it went on. But finally
Dwight seconded it. Harvey insisted
that the committee had gone into the
matter and that its findings We're en-
titled to be accepted. Hustace insisted
that there were other things the com.
mittee ought to have gone into, until
Archer asked for reading of the reso
luton appointing the special commit
tee, which showed that it was confined
in its instructions to the Isoi matter.
Hustace thought the testimony ought
to be given to the newspapers. Har
vey thought inasmuch as the commit
tee had conducted its proceedings IN
secret the seal of secrecy ought to re-
main unbroken.
Hustace and Dwight
On Hustace IS motion to reject the
report, himself and Dwight voted for
it and the other five members against
it. On the motion to adopt the report
Hustace and Dwight voted against it,
and the other five for it.
AS transcript of the testimony is
made part of the report, it is hare
to see how it can be kept from the
public if the public wants to read it,
The Witnesses Called.
There are eighty-fve pages of type
written testimony. OF this, the testi
mony of Isoi occupies twenty-five
pages; that of Townsend, sixteen; that
of A. p. Taylor, fourteen; that of
Apana, three; that of Wat Cling, Chi
nese restaurant keeper from whom Iau-
kea borrowed a hundred dollars in
1907, about three pages; and that of
Iaukea, twenty-five pages.
There is very little that has not al
ready been made public in the testi-
mony There are number of little
touches that are interesting and some
of them amusing. Included in Tau
kea s testimony, is written statement
made by Isoi at the time that Taylor
left the force. In this statement Isoi
seeks to tell how he assumes Breckons
it photographed. According to his be
lief his wife allowed Breckons to hav,
it. After stating this conclusion, he
naively says that "of course he lick
ed his wife and kicked her out of
the house, but friends interceded for
her and he took her back. -
