SHERIFF |AUkEA
LEAVES STATION
Bids Farewell to Old Police
Force and Asks All to
Be Loyal.

At II 80 o'clock yesterday forenoon
former Sheriff Iaukea concluded his
farewell address to the old police
force and shook hands with each Off
Ger. The closing act in the Iaukea
administration occurred in the police
court room, where the men We're lined
up around four sides of the ROOM
Sheriff laukea spoke first in Eng
lish and then in Hawaiian. When he
finished and asked Captain Parker if
he wished to say anything, the latter
officer blinked his eyes to hold back
the tears, and, in a voice choking with
emotion, said he couldn t speak After
twenty years of service it was hard
for him to remove his badge and turn
If in, and it was equally hard for
Officer kaiana, who has been pa
trolman for a quarter of a century.
When the men were lined up and
brought to attention, Sheriff Iaukea,
in civilian clothes. came before the
assemblage and said:
"Officers: With the hour of high
noon my term of Office as Sheriff will
cease and with it your commissions as
police officers will expire. Mr.. Jar
rett, who you all know and who has
served me as Deputy Sheriff, has
been elected as my successor and he
will assume the responsibilities of the
Office. 1t is, therefore, your duty as
good citizns to lay aside partisanship
and do all you can in your private
capacities to help him make sue
cessful administration. This success
will mean not only his individual sue
cess, but the success Of the party that
elected him, and particularly the sue
cess of Hawaiians.

fee. but they were errors of judgment
rather than of the heart. AS far as
my conscience goes, and my heart also,
I have tried to do the best I knew
how, and if success has been attain
ed, much of it is due to those who
have assisted me in the past, some of
whom have retired, and some are with
me still. In appreciation of those ser
vices ] want to thank each one for
such assistance.
'With the beginning of new ad-
ministration I hope those of you who
retire will find employment, and l
