of the Mayor, for party and personal
political purposes.
Not until the Supreme Court decid.
ed that the Supervisors had absolute.
ly no power Of appointment did they
take up the Mayors appointments.
They have been telling the public all
along that their fight with the Mayor
was because they claimed that his APP
pointmcnts had to be confirmed by
them. The insincerity of this claim
is shown by the fact that at any one
of their meetings they could have
done exactly what they did yesterday,
take up his appointments and confirm
or reject them. These appointments
have been before them ever since
January 4 to be acted on just as much
as they were yesterday.
But even yet the Board Is in de.
fance of the Supreme Court. The
court decided that the executive pow.
or is vested in the Mayor, and the
Supervisors have absolutely no power
Of appointment. And yet the Super
yisors or ut least the members of the
Road Committee, Quinn and others,
are daily giving instructions to men
whom they have attempted to appoint
to hold possession of the City and
County property and to refuse to give

one IN HOSPITAL

Gun Play Ends Squabble
Between Leilehua
Employees

One man in the Queens Hospital
with two bullet wounds, and another
in cell at the Police Station, Is the
final result of Edwin Harris and Ed.
ward Parkers trip to town from Lei
lehua.
Both men are employed out at the
cavalry camp, Parker as teamster,
and Harris as a bartender. The two
men have been lifelong friends and
both are colored.
II appears that the two men came
to town for good time, and seemed
to have had it-that is up till this
morning. Parker, the injured man,
stated that he and Harris got involved
in quarrel this morning at house
on the corner of Kukm and Liliha
streets. Knives were used in the
scuffle and Harris seems to have got
the worst of II.
Parker states that Harris called a
hack and drove off to obtain gun. On
the hacks return Parker states he
rushed out toward Harris, who at once
puN VI Nllt ldNh anu btbdn w
pump lead at him. According to Far
kcr. Ave shots we're fred two Of which
struck hime, one causing scalp
wound and glancing off, and the other
penetrating his right foot.
Policeman NJ. Ia Mahina. who hap
pened to be near the spot, heard the
shooting and at once ran to the scene
Of the ARRAY. He arrived juct IN time
TO catch Harris. who was jumping into
hack. The gun man was taken to
the Police Station and confined in the
lock up. No charge has been LAID at
present against the man, as the police
wish to see how Parker is progressing.
Parker is a strong looking negro
and was born in Louisiana. He said
that when he saw the revolver was
empty after the shots, he closed and
wrcsted the gun from Harris. Parker
is not badly injured and after the
wounds had been dressed was able to
move around.
