FROM WHOM DID
CLARK EMBEZZLE?
Attorneys Hold That He Gould
Not Have Taken Territorys
Hard-Earned Cash.
(Fron saturday s Advertiser.l


A question is now being given serious
consideration by the circuit curt which
is. so peculiar that its decision in a Ger.
tain way means that any clerk in the
police court can annex all the court
funds he pleases and go free providing
the district judge does not get peeved.
The question was brought up yesterday
in demurrer fled by Henry N. Clark g
attorneys against the two indictments
brought against him for embezzlement
of the police court funds.
The stand taken by Clark g attorneys,
Thompson, Clemens & Wilder, is that
the funds, in plain English alleged to
Territory of Hawaii, and that the in
dictments were therefore wrong in
charging him with doing so.
C. c. Biting and A. A. Wilder argued
on behalf of Clark and City Attorney
Cathcart appeared for the Territory, the
former attempting to prove that the
law made Frank Andrade, as magistrate
of the district court, and no other, the
custodian of the money and further
more that if Clark did take the money
he took it from no one but Judge An
drade.
The demurrer asserted that the indict-
ment did not show that the city of
Honolulu was any kind of a subdivision
of the Territory of Hawaii, which it
claimed to be necessary. Not depend
ing on this point alone, the demurrer
goes on to state that the indictment
does not show that Henry Clark was a
public officer and further that there is
no law making him responsible for any
funds of the police court, or their col
lection or disbursement.
In elucIdating the demurrer in argu-
ment, Biting explained that the SEES
sion laws of 1909 made the district
magistrate the sole custodian of the
funds and that there was no such man
rs second clerk of the court recognized
by law. He stated in further explana-
ton of this, that as Clark was charged
under several sections of the revised
laws as an embezzler of public funds,
it assumed him to be public account
ant and that by another specific sec
tiOn of the law he was no such thing.
This last mentioned section states that
only those duly authorized by law to
care for public funds are custodians of
such and the attorneys reasserted their
stand that the law did not recognized
him as an official at all.
Catheart took the stand that the in
dictment was Justifable under the sec
tions referring to embezzlement He
stated last night that should the de-
murrer be sustained Clark would have
to be reindicted for embezzement from
Frank Andrade and the chances are
that he could not be indicted again at
all. Which does not explain the mys'
terry of the twelve hundred dollars
which Clark is alleged TO have been
short in his accounts.
The demurrer was taken under ad-
yisement by Judge Cooper

FIRST FIELD
BATTERY HERE

The most prominent feature aboard
the transport Sheridan, that is from the
Hawaiian standpoint, is Battery r
Fifth Field Artillery, the first OF the
additional troops ordered to duty al
Schofeld Barracks, Leilehua. The hat
terry is the first organization to arg
ment the force at Leilehua, and the
first detachment to give Leilehua the
basis for becoming a brigade post, for
in March an infantry regiment will be
ordered to duty there, and possibly a
detachment of engineers and another of
the Signal Corps. The Fifth Cavalry
has been there nearly two years.
Battery i is commanded by Capt. A.
G. Faulkner, the other officers beng
Lieuts. r. G.. Lewis and r. r. Peyton.
The battery numbers seventy-Rve men.
Other officers will arrive with the
horses and equipment on the Dix.
The Fifth Cavalry machine gun pla-
toon has also representatives aboard,
and as soon as the quarantine is raised,
they will be sent TO Leilehua. The Dix
will also bring a number of officers for
various Oahu forts ms well as the horses
for the field artillery and four troops

WAITING FOR
ALESHIRE'S REPORT

Quartermaster General Aleshire, of
the Army, has left San Francisco and
is on his way to the Hawaiian Islands,
where he will make an inspection of
the new cavalry post, says the Army
and Navy Register. On his return to
Washington, about November 20, he
will take up with the chief of staff and
the war department authorities the
question of the location of the buildings
at that station. The plans for the bar
racks, quarters, stables, storehOuses,
and other structures are nearing COM
pletion in the quartermaster general 3
office The bids can not be invited for
this construction until the question of
sites has been settled. 1t has been
proposed to adopt at this Hawaiian
army post the new idea of concentra-
tion of buildings and a number of ten
tative designs have been prepared for
the examination of the quartermaster
general, chief Of staff, and secretary of
war. The proposed arrangement will
materially reduce the area covered by
the various edifces, resulting in an
economical maintenance of the reserva-
tion. There will be less expense in.
volved in the construction of roads,
walks, water and sewer systems and
electric lighting. II may be possible
to establish central heating plant
under these new conditions. Other
army posts where the concentration
idea can be carried out win be sub
iected 10 the same Improvement. OF
course, each post must be taken up
with regard for he, local conditions.

Good Work of Smith.
HILO, November Ito Carl Smith,
Republican campaign manager of the
island of Hawaii, is due the credit for
the greatest Republican victory that
has ever taken place on this island,
exceeding by far that of the campaign
of 1904 when he was also the party 8
manager. The forecast made to The
Advertiser, by Mr.. Smith on the after
noon before election, was correct in
every particular except one, his party
losing senatorship, as Makekau was
elected in place of Fernandes.
1t is unusual in political history for
manager to make so accurate a fore
cast and it shows that Mr.. Smith was
thorough master of the situation and
had true and trusty workers who were
we'll informed in their various districts.
At meeting of the territorial execu-
tive committee in Honolulu last Sep
tember, when other island managers
were talking of harmony, Mr.. Smith
said that the Republicans in Hawaii
were all fighters. The correctness of
this has been shown for they all fought
their hardest and they fought as one
man.
In the campaign of 1912, Mr.. Smith
will probably again lead the Repub-
licans of Hawaii, but then as candi-
date for senator, which he should have
no difficulty in securing.
Pua Led Ticket
Pua, county sheriff, headed the Re-
publican ticket with 1909 votes, Beers,
county attorney, coming next with 1903,
and Kuhio 1887. This is the second
time that the honor has fallen to Sam
Pua, as he headed the ticket in 1908
with 1893 votes, gaining 316 this year.
The contests for delegate on the is
land of Hawaii, this year and in 1908,
were as follows:

Motley Swung the Vote.
Only thirty-fve more votes were cast
for the Delegate this year than in 1908.
Kuhio gained 473 from Motley, 121 from
McCandless and 35 from new voters.
1t was probably the result of the heart
to heart talk that Carl Smith had with
Motley, in Kau last week, that switch
ed most of the Home Rule votes from
Motley to Kuhio. Had they all gone
to McCandless and his last vote been
held, he would have run only thirty

exact increase in the number of votes

" in the first district where he headed
the Democratic ticket as a candidate
for the senate. Alfonso again held the
honors for the Republicans on the rep
resentative ticket. exceeding his vote
of 1905 by twenty-nine. In Hilo he
ran thirty-four ahead of his Hilo vote
of two years ago.
Metzger Scored Hewitt.

he began by paying his attentions ia

HILO, November 11.-At meeting
Of the Republican county committee,
held yesterday afternoon, there was
some discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY of
having more business system in the

the number of people who frequent the
building without any business reason,
and who, it is claimed, interfere more
or less with the work to be done and
compel the employment of more clerks
than are necessary.

The majority of the board, however,
was opposed to homesteads, but it's per
sonnet, he has been informed, would be
changed by the next senate. If he
should be elected he would see that
this was done and that there were more
friends of the people on the board, and
friends of homesteads, or else he would
raise a racket that would be heard
round the Islands.
Mr.. Metzger was loudly applauded
during, and at the conclusion Of, his
speech. While he ran second on the
senatorial ticket in east Hawaii, he
was defeated on the west side and was
not elected.
