those precincts where assistance was
needed yesterday. While these young
men received some compensation for
their work, ii was not intended to be
commensurate with the services rem
dered, which are invaluable; but the
boys feel that whatever their services
were worth in excess Of what they re-
ceived is their own contribution TO the
cause Of good government, Without
the conscientious watching that these
young men did it is probably not an
eXaggeration to say that enough crook
ed work might have been done to cut
down Mayor Alexander's majority to
an unComfortably close figure. There
fore, on behalf Of the Good Govern
ment organization, l desire to thank
each and every one of these college men
for their splendid, patriotic work.
Workingmen Contribute
one of the most gratifying results of
the election was the heavy vote cast
for the Good Government candidates
in those sections of the city where
workingmen largely have their homes.
l refer particularly to the Sixth and
Ninth wards The splendid support
given the Good Government candidates
is a complete refutation of the silly
charge made for public effect that the
Good Government movement was a
silk sock affair. The Good Government
movement is essentially democratic. 1t
is the peoples movement II stands
for the interests of all the people, not
of a class No body of citizens are
more benefited by good government
than the wage earner-the man who
works with his hands. He wants to
know that the public money is eXpend-
to know that the money he pays In
taxes is not wasted, that the public
property is not given over to private
interests. No part of the citizenship OF
Los Angeles gave better or more loyal
support to the Good Government cause
than did the workingmen, and to them
particularly l desire to extend my
thanks and congratulations.
/ predict that the people Of Los An
geles will be delighted with the new
administration The class of men that
have been elected for the city council
I believe and feel assured Will carry
on the city's business promptly eff
ciently. intelligently and without waste
of time. Just as the business # large
private corporation is carried on. The
men elected to serve on the city coun-
ell are in thorough sympathy with the
hest interests of the city. and Will un-
doubtedly cooperate with the brsi-
ness interests and leading civic organ
izations. What a splendid thing it will
be when our civic bodies, which nave
been laboring for so many years to
bring about better conditions in the
city. will be able to go TO the city
council to ask for a hearing and be ex-
empt from insult by low-browed ward
politicians and have the hearty CO.
operation of public servants whose
only interest is to faithfully and well
serve the people.

JESSE JAMES
GANG OF BOYS

The police have a band of youth
full "hold-up men" at the station house
that form as interesting a bunch as
anyone need care to see. Their names
are Wah Quon, Frank Sinchi, Fran
cisco Frank and Charles Kahele, rep
Fesenting, as their names clearly in
dictate, Hawaii, China and Porto Rico.
These boys had evidently heard or
read of the hold-up games in tough
places, and decided upon a sort OF
Jesse James raid of it yesterday after
noon. Chinatown was to be their field
of operations and the Chinese and ia
panese stores their prizes. One of the
boys, Frank Sinchi, had a small re-
volver containing three bullets. This
was to be their weapon of defense in
case of trouble. The quartette sue
ceeded in pilfering a large lot of stuff
from different stores. Their plumber
consisted of small bolts of cloth, trim
kets, assorted toys and a box of CT
-
gars. All these were recovered when
the police swooped down upon the
bunch. The boys will be heard in po-
lice court tomorrow morning, with a
good prospect Of being sent to the
reformatory, they being under age.
The police again raided the Chinese
club house in Christley lane yesterday
and arrested ten Cinnamon on the
charge of gambling This same place
was raided last year, and at that time
the Chinese consul interested himself
in the case. A singular coincidence
is that some of the men arrested last
year were bagged again in the raid
of yesterday.
30 Sentences in police court were: Will
lie Larsen, Josephine Peter (w) and
Kinilau, disturbing the quiet of night,
81 each; Urabe, profanity, $40. Sew
eral DRINKS were fined SO each.

SHOOTS SELF

John Sreman Bull, Englishman,
aged about 40, shot himself in the'head
with a 3S calibre revolver at $50
o'clock this morning and is dead.
Bull was an electrician by trade and
had been a resident of Honolulu Tegu-
larly for about one year. Some eight
years ago he was engaged to wire the
fine beach residence of James B. Cas-
tie, and since returning a year ago
has worked for Mr.. Castle as el5ctri-
clan and automobile man.
OF late the dead man had been sick
and respondent, and it is believed that
was the cause of his rash deed. Last
night, however, while on a visit to
his brother, Edward William Bull, an
employee of the Honolulu Gas Com
pany, he stated that he felt better and
seemed more cheerful than in some
time past.
The shooting took place in the base
ment of the Castle residence. The bali
entered the side of the head and lodg-
ed there, death following in a very
few minutes. Deceased was unmar-
ried.
Deputy Sheriff Rose empanelled a
coroners jury and the body was view
ed this morning. The inquest will be
held at the police station at Z o'clocR

One of the hottest auction duels over
a lease of public land ever seen here
took place today, when Land Commits
sioner Pratt sold the lease for fifteen
years of 2493 acres of land at HOnu-
aula, Kona, Hawaii.
The upset annual rental was $500 and
j. S. Low and w. A. Greenwich by
rapid fire bidding hoisted the figure
to $1,000, at which Greenwich retired.
Low announced the purchaser as Wal
ter d. Alderman.
Geo H. Robertson for Hawaiian
Agricultural Co. secured two leases ior
ten years, being for 1856 acres at Ma
kaha and SO.75 acres at the same
place in Kau, at one dollar advance on
upset annual rental in each case, 1901
and 1856 respectively.
The lease for fifteen years of two lots
of land at Kaumamano, Hawaii con-
tanning II .95 acres, was bought by G.
Kimball for Miss Bertha B. Taylor at

evening, goes down on record as the
best and most fully attended in its
history.

ton, was present and in her pleasing
manner installed the various officers.
At the conclusion of the work, in be-
half of the members of the order, Miss
McKernan was presented with hand
some bouquet of carnations, the symbol
of the order, to which she fittingly res
ponded in her usual pleasing manner.
Following the installation an enjoy

Embezzlemen, Case Dismissed.

One of the most interesting cases
which has come up for trial in the JUS
tice courts of Baraga county in some
time was heard before Justice Bulger
Friday afternoon, the charge being
that of embezzlement made by Charles
Gomach, of Keweenaw Bay, acting
agent for the Park Brewing Co., for
Baraga County. against Joseph Ebert,
a young man whom he had employed to
act as salesman and distributor. NJ
The case was called at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon and continued, with an
adjournment of one hour at supper
time, until 9:05 O'Clock, during which
time testimony of large number of
witnesses, including that of both com
plainant and defendant, were heard.
When such had been concluded the
case was then presented to the court
for its decision, and after careful
study of the points brought out, the
court decided that there was no cause
for binding the defendant over to the
Circuit Court and therefore dismissed
the case.
The defendant was very creditably
represented by Attorney McNally, Of
Calumet, while the case in behalf Of
the people was equally as well cared
for in the hands of Prosec uting Attol
ney O'Connor.
