cutor Breckons directed this morning
at Supervisor John A. Kealoha
brought the first signs of distress this
heretofore accused, but imperyitable
county official, has shown during the
three weeks that he has been made
to face suspicion of grating.
With only the defense Il do not

aloha stood for fifteen minutes the
penetrating QUIZ of Breckons and then
in discontinue left his place at the
elbow of the questioner, where he was
looking at entries in the memorandum
book of the road department, and
wheeled completely around and turned
his back upon his questioner and sat
down upon the chair in the Witnesses
pedestal in the district court AS he
once more faced the crowded court
room II was evident that he had re.
covered his composure only by an ex-
IRENE effort, his red stained eyes
showing how near to break down he
had been.
outwardly, Kealoha appeared a
symbol of witness docility, but for al.
most the entire time he was on the
stand his answers were eyasiye; and
clothed in the age worn garments of
accused men who trust to poor mem
ory>or lack~of knowledge to keep,
from answering leading questions of
prosecutors. This were the only de-
Tense that Kealoha could present, for
he was witness in a civil case and
could not fall back up the constitu-i
tional privilege given accused men in
criminal cases of refusing to answer
questions because they might incrim-
mate.
Even the breathing spells of objec-
tons of aIdefending attorney were
denied him for in the first place he
had no attorney and secondly, he was
not on trial but was called as a plain
tiff's witness in civil suit Instituted
by the county. purportedly to recover
money due for crushed rock received
by Otto Rose. The densest laymen,
let alone the witness, could see that
the reason of the questioning was to
place Kealoha on record as stating
that he had no, records Of crushed

, rock transactions with the defendant
in the civil suit.
Criminal Case Postponed.
When the usual Monday morning
criminal docket was read and the
various cases of the petty wrongdoers
were called and passed for later trial,
the charge of embezzlement against
Kealoha, for which he was arrested
Saturday, was read. Preceding the
reading of the charge, Judge Wise
asked the supervisor If he had an at
torney He answered no." but said
he was willing that it 90 on for
hearing The judge explained that
he thought as the civil case against
him had been postponed until he
could get an attorney from Honolulu
he might want the case to 60 over.
Kealoha signified that it was a mat
ter Of indifference to him.
Breckons then moved for a post
ponement, stating that there were
certain papers in the possession of
County Treasurer Swain necessary for
the prosecution to have and that he
was out OF town Breckons asked for
postponement until the afternoon.
AtdiOud Sdiu. IL IL please the COURT,
If it has to go over. It might as well
go to Thursday. Evidently this was
what the prosecution wanted and the
criminal case against Kealoha was
postponed until Thursday morning.
In the meantime, Breckons stated,
he wanted Kealoha as a witness in an
other matter-a civil suit.
The civil suit against Otto Rose was
then called. Before Kealoha, the first
and only witness, was called to the
stand, he was asked If he had brought
into court the books and records
which he had been ordered to pro-
duce.
Kealoha answered, 81 have none to

definite answer The Judge, prompted
by the Kealoha subpoena, asked: did
you have in your possession In 1911
or 1912 books or records showing re-

rock?" The answer of Kealoha was
that he had book, but did not know
where it was now. He said he left it

Iof the first questions asked was II he
had destroyed certain records Of his
crushed rock transactions while he
was road oyerseer. The response was
II don't remember destroying them.
"Have you made any search for
them?" he was asked. No he re
piled.
What form of records did you

were mono books. They were left in
the Office He was showed the en-
try of delivery OF the crushed rock
to Rose, but here the court called at
tention to the fact that the defend
ant had been given no opportunity to
respond. This was due to the fact
that Breckons was in hurry to get
the testimony of Kealoha on record.
which was really the only purpose or
the suit instituted against Rose.
Rose said he admitted owing the
county for rock. but that he was
charged for an amount In excess Of
what he had received.
Breckons resumed his questioning
of Kealoha What have you to show
that this rock was delivered to Rose?"
was another query. John responded

Kealoha was questioned as to how
the records were kept. He answered

Peking, Oct. 4.-The American lega-
ton here received a report today from
J. Pauy Jameson, vice consul-general
at Shanghai, stating that an American
child had been killed and other for
eigners were being maltreated by Chi
nese brigands at Tsao Yang.
The legation fears Chinese govern
ment troops are not capable nor zeal-
GUS enough to accomplish the release
OF the American and Norwegian mis-
slonaries in the hands of the bandits
atEao Yang, and that ransom alone
can save the lives of the foreigners
still in captivity.
BY the efforts Of the American 1ega-
ton and consulates, missionaries have
been kept out of unsafe districts dur
Ing the past two years. They were not
restricted from going to the northern
part of the province of Hu Pch, which
hitherto had not been considered dan
gerous.
Nearly 5000 Chinese troops are adj

BRYAN ENDORSES
TARIFF MEASURE
VERY HEARTILY

Pres. Wilson is Congratulated
ThGrGUpOn

Washington, D. c., Oct 4.-Presi-
dent Wilson went to the golf links
early today, according to his Saturday
custom, and when he returned to the
white house, shortly before noon
found a pile of kilograms congratulate
ing him on the signing of the new
teriff bill. The messages came from
chambers of commerce as well as pol
i.ical organizations from various parts
Ct the country.
With the congratulations on the COM
pletion of the tariff came, in many in
stances, the sentiment is now for cur
rency legislation" In this spirit the
president took up the task of securing
the accomplishment of the second big
measure of his administration
At the white house and executive
q, arters generally there is confidence
that the currency bill, already passe'.
by The house, will be passed by the
senate and signed by the president be-
fore many weeks. The opinion pre-
walls that if the work is not completed
before the December session of con-
& ess begins, it surely will be done in
January.
Secretary Bryan today endorsed the
new tariff law as the best tariff meas
ure since the war of the sivties, and
predicted the early passage of the
currency bill. Mr. Bryan said in
part:
"The tariff law that went into force
last night is the best tariff measure
since the war and all who have taken
part in preparing it are entitled to
great credit 1t is better bill than we
were able to pass twenty years ago,
and | rejoice that political conditions
are such as to make the present law
possible"

Lowest TARIFF
IN EFFECT IN
SEVERAL YEARS
WILL REDUCE COST OF living
Bonded Warehouses Release
Large Stocks

Washington, D. c., Oct. 4. - With
the democratic tariff law consummat-
ed, activity was transferred TODAY
from the halls of congress to tn :
treasury department where Secretary
McAdoo and Assistant Secretary
Hamlin began the development of ID
plan of enforcement. Treasury Off
cials declared that the new act was
the lowest tariff law in the history Of
the country, with the possible excep-
ton of the Walker tariff of 1S46 and it's
amendatory tariff of 1857.
With President Wilson and the con-
gressional trainers of the law, they
declared it was competitive tariff"
and freely expressed the conviction
that business would be invigorated
and sustained through it's operation
Officials were equally confident thar
it would afford the government amp'e
revenue.
1t was roughly estimated that $100-
100000 worth of merchandise held in
bond soon will be withdrawn and pay
ment of duty made under the new
law. Compared with the Payne-Al-
drich act, this will mean a loss ot
$1O,000,O0O to the government. Treas
ury officials maintained that thes2
Withdrawals would have no percepti-
BILE effect upon the business of the
country.
General regulations will be issued
within a few days covering the tarif!
as a whole and these will be followed
by specific rulings regarding each OF
the intricate schedules. The most
difficult administrative features is the
income tax provision.
This entirely new venture will re
quire the work of experts to draft {
