THE LEGISLATIVE FIGHT.

Our articles of last week we're
written under the impression that
the vote, as shown by the Judges
returns. was correct. and would be
ratified by the County Executive
Committee.
Our articles were based upon the
figures as shown by the returns Of
the judges, and gave Mr.. Grigsby a
majority over Mr.. Reardon of four
votes
The editor was called out of town
on Monday night. and did not re-
turn home until Wednesday night
after the COURIER was issued.
The County Executive Com
niitt,c met on Tuesday, canvassed
the vote, and threw out as illegal
number of votes.
The hearing was continued
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day, and, after the arguments by
counsel for Mr.. Grigsby and Mr..
ReardOn on that day, the Execu-
tive Committee decided that Mr..
Reardon had received the nomina-
ton by 4 majority of one vote.
Our Damon and Pythias article.
In which we congratulated all
hands upon the fact that there had
been no fighting, no mud-slinging.
no personalities. appears to have
been premating, to say the least:
for the contest over the result was
about as acrimonious and exciting
as You would wish to see or hear
over a legislative campaign.
The nominee must now receive
the endorsement of the Executive
Committee of Warren county. and
we arc informed that such action
will be contested.
If that endorsement is received.
we are informed that the contest
will be carried up to the State
Central Committee for final settle
ment.
We believe the result has shown
that there were irregularities at a
number Of precincts, which fact is
deplorable.
a contested election does not
make friends for the party, and
that is deplorable.
But we do believe that the ex-
animation of the ballots and poll
books, and an explanation of each
questionable ballot at each
precinct, should be heard before a
committee which knows neither
candidate and cannot have any
leaning to either man.
We believe the State Central
Committee would decide the matter
better than anyone else could.
Mr.. Grigsby's adherents claim
that he is elected by majority of
four votes. Mr.. Reardon's adj
herents claim that he is elected by
one vote. The result. either way,
Is close enough.
If the solution of the problem
lay with the COURIER we would
send both candidates into another
primary, TO be held at the same
time as the State primary august
81, and we believe a verdict could
and would be reached without
trouble or contest.
That opinion is shared by many
people in the County.
We withdraw our articles of last
week, and make apology to all |
concerned, or who may feel az
grIeVed. without distinction

!. NJ. {. A. TEAM
WALLOPS CLUB
The Association Boys Pile Up
Mighty Score of
20 to 2.

It was all Y. NJ. c. A. last night in
the indoor baseball game played at the
gymnasium of that institution between
the lads of the Hawaiian Boys Club
and a picked team from the Associa-
ton. The final score was 20 to 2, and
the long end of the tally did not count
for the BOYS Club team.
There was large crowd in attend
enee at the game, for it is not often
that the local fans are treated to an
exhibition of the indoor variety of the
national game, and they were right
royalty amused, even if the game was
not exactly classy performance. Il
was simply walk-over of the genuine
Simon pure, unadulterated quality for
the veterans of tie Y NJ c. a. team
the only thing, apparently, that kept
them from scoring all the time being
the valiant efforts of the gamey little
pitcher for the Boys Club He was
in class by himself, so far as the
rest of his teammates were concerned
and he ranked well up with the star
players of the Association.
Captain Herbert of the Boys Club
also took all kinds of chances in order
to score, but his work was of small
avail against the cracks of the Y. NJ
C. A. The latter team simply scored
at viii on their younger opponents
There is plenty of fun in this indoor
game, and never was this fact proven
more eonclusively than it was las
night. The game lasted an hour and ter
minutes. Jim Mott captained the win
ming aggregation.

COUNTESS oUTWTTTED
BY ADDISON MINER

Although Addison Miner has made
his home in New York and Europe for
years, those who have seen him say
that he retains the same exnberant
mode Of thought and action which char
acterized his behavior in his San Fran
cisco days and made him the subject
of endless discussions. Last summer
Addison was in the country in France
and STAYED at the same little inn where
abode for the time being French
countess and her four children. Chick
en- was always part Of the menu, and
by reason of her rank the countess was
always served first. She would help
herself literally to the choicest bits,
and than call upon her offspring,

tie counts and countesses were given

ing a choice collection of necls and

olson. He accepted his portion meekly
for several days, and then he rebeiied-
Half rising in his chair as the chicken
was carried past him en- route to the
voraeious nobility, he applied his
tongue hastily TO his forefnger and
tapped a particularly tempting bit Of
white meat, saying IN audible tones and

Opinion of City
Attorney.

There may be trouble ahead for
County Auditor Bieknell because of
the opinion Of County Attorney Cath
cart, that all garnishees of employees
of the county lapsed at y O'Clock
noon, Monday, January 4. That opin-
ion was to the effect that all pending
garhishments became null and void
with the ending of the official exist
enee of the County of Oahu.
However, attorneys prepared new
garnishee papers on employees holding
over and fled them as soon as posi-
Bile after learning of this disposition
of the old garnishee eases.
Attorneys have intimated to the
County Auditor that they may taks
the matter into the courts to deter
mine whether or not the County At
