apartment house.
"The husband, says the wife, has
been in the habit of collecting the
money and applying it to his own use.
and with view to getting control of
everything has, according to his wife,
been attempting to force her to leave
him.
"The whole of the circumstances
preyed upon her mind. she says, and
yesterday, leaving the younger child at
home, she came to Oakland, where they
have recently been living, in house
owned by Mrs. Plaine, to this side of
the bay to seek some employment
which would relieve her of the neces-
sity of living with her husband. She
had no intention, so she says, of com
hitting suicide when she started out
but her ruminations on the way across
! got the better of her and on the i'm
, pulse of the moment she cast herself
, into the bay.
GAS soon as she felt the water en-
velop her, her old instinct as a swim
mer with the other Hawaiian girls il
the days of her maidenhood seized her
and striking out with a sturdy breas
stroke she felt that she could neve
sink. She was rescued within thre
minutes of jumping overheard.

POSTMASTER'S
ASSISTANT IS
UNDER ARREST

John T. Stayton, assistant postmas.
ter of Honolulu, was arrested last
evening on warrant, issued through
United States Commissioner Kings
bury, charging him with violation
Of Section 1891, U. s. Statutes, in that
he is alleged to have opened letter
not intended for him but entrusted to
him in his capacity as a postofice
employe.
Mr.. Stayton was taken at once to
United States District Attorney Breck-
ons' Office and subjected to a rigid
investigation concerning the direct
charge against him. The assistant
postmaster was taken a prisoner while
the mail arriving on the Nippon Maru
was being sorted and people were wait
ing about the postofiice building for
their mail. The news that the assist
ant postmaster had been arrested
caused sensation downtown and con-
lectures were rife as to the reason.
The statement is made by those who
attended the investigation in the Dis
trct Attorneys office that Mr.. Stay.
ton admitted having appropriated let
ters addressed to others and opened
them. and that he has done SO in the
past and, after acquainting himself
with the contents, destroyed many.
Official mail addressed to Postofice
Inspector Hare caused the trouble for
Mr.. Stayton. At intervals Mr.. Hare
has received intimations from the
Postoflice Department that official
mail addressed to him has been ne.
elected, or, at least, not answered
This occurred many times and finally
Mr.. Hare began quiet investigation.
More letters disappeared and, tracing
them up, it was found they had left
the mainland o. X. but failed to reach
him. He then arranged trap for the
letter taker. 1t was arranged that the
regular official letters would be sent
to Mr.. Hare, as usual, but the precau-
tion was taken to send list of the
contents of the two official envelopes

MAYOR MUST
NAME OFFICERS

A public meeting called by the de
partment of civics of the Mems League
of Central Union church held last even
ing, adopted a resolution calling or
the City and County Attorney TO al
once bring quo warranto or other
proper proceedings to test the legality
of City and County appointments made
by the Board of Supervisors. The reso'
luton was offered by w. r. Castle, and
was discussed at considerable length.
A motion by w. o. Smith that the
meeting appoint a committee to wait
on the Mayor and Supervisors and see
if plan of harmony could be arranged,
was defeated by tie vote, Mr.. Smith
afterwards asking leave to withdraw it.
The Men g League has been study
ing the Municipal Act for several
weeks. Last nights meeting was un-
der more general call and many be-
sides members were present, the present
situation under the Municipal Act be-
ing the subject. A. l.. Castle presided.
w. o. Smith was the first speaker. He
briefly outlined the history of the act
in the Legislature. 1t was the inten.
tion of the Legislature, he said, to
create a municipal government in which
the executive powers should be vested
in Mayor, with the power Of veto,
and the legislative powers in a Board
of Supervisors, with the power to over.
ride a veto. All appointing power, he
said, was in the Mayor except the ap.
pointments of the deputies of the City
and County Clerk, Attorney, Auditor
and Treasurer. There was no power
of appointment in the Board of Su
pervisors whatever; they could only
confirm or reject the appointments Of
the Mayor.
The Mayor, he said, undoubtedly
had the power to make appointments
in December, though he did not think
he had the power to make all the ap.
pointments that he did; but he ought
to have submitted them to the Board
of Supervisors for their approval or
disapproval. That the Mayor did not
submit these appointments for ap-
proval, he believed, was the error the
Mayor made In his opinion the ap-
pointments then made by the Mayor
were valid if he had not gone so far
in his appointments and had sub.
mitted them to the board. The Su.
pervisors probably acted as they did,
he thought, because the Mayor went
so far in his appointments, but he did
not think the action of the Supervisors
in making appointments themselves
was legal.
Both w. R. Castle and Judge S. B
Kiugsbury, who spoke at length on the
subject, expressed the belief that the
sole power of appointment was in the
Mayor, but that he should have sub
mitted his appointments to the Boart
of Supervisors for approval or disap
prevail Neither of them believed tha
The Supervisors had the power of ap
pointment they had attempted to take
Supervisor Dan Logan made an ad
dress defending the attitude of th
Supervisors in general.
Charles L. Rhodes, the Mayors sec
retary, presented the Interpretation o
the law upon which the Mayor ha
acted.
The interest in the discussion wa
so great that the meeting was pre-
longed far beyond the usual hour.

REPORT THAT LANE WILL
Be NEW POSTMASTER

A report has been in circulation since
the arrival of the last mainland mail
to the effect that Delegate Kuhio has
definitely promised to recommend John
C. Lane for the Honolulu postmaster
ship, soon to be vacant. There is no
confirmation of the rumor to be had, but
in Hawaiian circles the report is gen.
orally credited.
Mr.. Lane is one of the very few Re
publicans to be defeated in the recent
elections who has not government job,
while the strong support he gave dur
ing the campaign to the Delegate, at
the expense it was complained of his
running mates on the municipal ticket
gives him, in the estimation of the poll
ticans, strong claim upon the Wash
ington representative.
