IAOkEA TAKES
GOOD POSITION
Presents Resignation and the
Reasons, for 1t to His
Party Leaders.

The resignation of Sheriff Iaukea as
a member of the Central Committee
of the Territorial Democratic party
was presented and accepted at meet
ing of that copmittee last hight This
resignation was the main matter to
COME up. the only other business of
Importance being a report from the
committee on rules.
Sheriff Iaukea's letter of resignation
was as follows:
January 81, 1908.
Mr.. ]. Enmeluth, Secretary Demo-
cratic Central Committee, Homo
lulu.
Dear Sir: The stand 1 have taken In
withdrawing from politics and requir-
ing all police officers and Democrats
in office TO abstain from political ac-
tiyity at the coming campaign, is gem
orally known, / think, amongst many
of our party leaders, and the one thing
remaining to give it public assurance
is my own resignation from member
ship in the executive councils of the
Democratic party. This I now do,
leaving the way clear for the Central
Committee to appoint someone in my
place and stead.
I believe the Democratic party ex-
poets me to make good, and to render
a good accounting of my stewardship
not only in the sense of giving the
people an honest and efficient admin
istration, but in instituting police re-
forms that will make for clean govern
ment. If this, then, is what is expect
ed of me, it must also be my reason
for taking the step that 1 have and
doing all I can, by precept and ex-
ample, to free the department from the
demoralizing influences of political
Vaccinations.
A rule of the department provides
that no police officer shall be mem
Der Of any political nominating cons
ventfon, and that he shall not take art
active part in politics except to cast
his individual vote for such candidates
as he may prefer. The purpose and
public policy of this rule cannot be
and you can readily per-
ceive that it would be a strange in
for the head of a department
to enforce a regulation among his sub
ordinates which he himself ignores.
With assurances of my highest devo-
tion to duty and party, and wishing
the Democratic party successful cam
paign, I remain, dear sir,
Very sincerely yours,
C. P. IAUKEA..

PROBABLY FATAL
STREET CAR ACCIDENT

A japanese woman, whose identity
has not yet been established. received
probably fatal injuries last night by
jumping off a moving Rapid Transit
car. Her skull is fractured and she is
otherwise hurt, leading the physicians
who attended her at the Queens Hos
pital to be doubtful of her recovery
At the time of the accident she was
carrying a four-year-old child, a girl,
who miraculously escaped any injury
whatever in the mad plunge that
brings her mother to deaths door.
The accident occurred last night n
eight O'Clock, the woman and child
being passengers on King street car
No. 2 eastbound. The car was pass
ing Singers bakery at fair rate Of
speed when, without giving any stop
signal of any kind. the woman picked
up the child and jumped off. AS soon
as her feet touched the ground she
was thrown on the back of her head
with terrific force and was rendered
unconscious, the child being thrown
out of her arms and rolled over ami
over on the road
As soon as the ambulance could ar
rive from the police station the wo-
man was taken to the hospital for
treatment. Up until a late hour last
night she had not regained conscious
ness. and there was no way by which
it could be learned who she is.

The President Says 1t Would Be Use
less to Speak at Pittsburg.

washington. Oct. II. = President
Roosevelt today told Congressman
Barchfeldt of Pitsburg that for him 10
go on the stump and make a speech i'll
Pittsburg, as Republicans there desire
him to do, would be the same as car
rying Goals to New Castle. There was
absolutely no necessity for him to
speak in Pittsburg, he said. because
that district in his opinion was entire
ly safe for Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Barchfeldt showed the president
a telegram he had received from the
Republican committee of Allegheny
county requesting him to join with the
committee and the other congressman
from that district in an appeal to Ma
tional Chairman Hitchcock to have the
president make his first speech in
Pittsburg in case he decided to go on
the stump. Congressman Barchfeldt
said he agreed with the president that
his presence in Pittsburg to speak Was
not necessary.

Charles Erbstein, the accused mans
attorney. said that he would appear at
the preliminary hearing today before
Judge Dicker ready to furnish $780, 900
if necessary to obtain the release of
Mann until his case is brought to trial

Maniac Frees Himself and Battles
With Attendants.

an insane man of Brooklyn. who in an
attempt to throw himself into East
river yesterday, fought desperately
with several policemen on the dizzy
top of Williamsburg bridge tower

physicians at the Eastern district hos

and was taken before a court charged
with attempted suicide.
The magistrate in committing him
to the observation ward of Kings

KILLS A MAN AT LAST.
Man Who Tried to Shoot Guiteau
Commits Homicide.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Noted for
having attempted to avenge the death
of President Garfield by shooting at
Guiteau. the assassin, William Jones
avenger," a farmer, last night shot
and killed John A. Mcpherson of De-
troit at the Bates farm, near Brook
lyn, on the outskirts of this city. The
weapon used was shotgun and Nc
Pherson's breast was riddled with
bullets. An unloaded rifle was found
lying beside the body. The shotgun
was found on the porch of Jones's
house.
Jones was arrested shortly after
the killing and brought to this city
and lodged in jail.
Mrs. Jones, who is said to have
been an eye witness to the killing, has
not been found. Jones admitted to
Coroner Nevill that he shot McPher-
son, but declares that he acted in self
defense. The police have learned, it
is said. that the two men had quar-
relied over possession of a horse. Nc
Pherson. who was "a years old, had
been working on Jones's farm since
he was discharged from the United
States marine corps on June "a last.
Several days following upon Presi-
dent Garfield's death Guiteau was
taken to court for preliminary hear
ing and it was while he was being re-
turned to Jail under charge of Dis
trict Marshal Corkhill that Jones at
tempted to shoot him. Jones was
riding a spirited horse. He followed
the prisoner from the court house to
within several blocks of the Jail, when
he suddenly spurred his horse, darted
through the crowd drew a revolver
and fired into the prison van. Guiteau
who was sitting enar the door, caught
a glimpse of Jones as he drew the
weapon and lodged. The bullet sped
over his head and lodged in the side
of the wagon. Jones' believing he
had killed Guiteau, dug the spurs into
! his horses sides and escaped arres
at that time. He was captured shortly
afterward near Fredericksburg, Va
Jones was tried and acquitted
