RULESCONCLAVE

of rules there were brought out charges
that the draft sent out by the terri
toriaI chiefs contains sections appar
emily carrying "jOkers," designed 10
entrench the central committee in
power and to avoid full observance OF
the spirit of the direct primary law
A particularly scathing criticism Is
directed against the section which pro
vides for distribution of party funds.
In this connection the communication
signed by Messrs Judd and Thompson
says:
This section radically changes the
old method in regard to the division
of funds. Previously the territorial
central committee and the several
county committees have had control
of all funds which they may collect,
the proposed rule provides for the in
terlocking of county and territorial
funds as follows:
"fOf all contributions made for the
expenses of the party, and paid to
the treasurer of any county commit
tee there shall be forthwith RENTED
by the treasurer of the county COM
mittee to whom the same is paid, to
the treasurer of the territorial central
committee 25 per cent thereof OF
all contributions made to the treasur-
er Of the territorial central committee
the said treasurer shall retain rs per
cent thereof, and shall forward the
remaining IS per cent to such treasu-
err or treasurers of county commit
tees as the donor thereof may re-
quest, should no such request be
made the treasurer shall make pay.
ment of the Is per cent thereof to
such county treasurer or treasurers
as may be directed by the territorial
central committee In other words
the territorial central committee is
guaranteed to have the power to eX-
pend at least 25 per cent of all con-
tributions made by members of the
Republican party for the expenses
thereof, while on the other hand Of
all contributions made to the terri
torial central committee it is manda-
tory on their part to remit to the
county committee or compittees IS
per cent thereof only in the event
that the donor may so request. In
case no request is made by the donor
the treasurer of kthe territorial cen.
trail committee retains the entire
amount of such contribution, and on
ly RENTS Is per cent thereof in the
event that he may be so directed by
the territorial central committee. II
it is mandatory upon the part of the
counties to remit Is per cent of con-
tributions received, to the territorial
committee why should it not be man
datory upon the part of the territorial
central committee to remit Is per
cent of their contributions to the sup
port of the county wherein the donor
resides. Further it is inconceivable

Echo of Late investigation is

On trial for the murder. is a part of
! the defense which Attorneys l. NJ.
Stratus and SchnaCk will make on be-
half of Simmons and James Frederick
Field.
This was indicated this morning in
the stories of the affray told on the
witness stand by the two defendants,
Detective Arthur McDuffiC testified
for the prosecution that three shots
had been fired from Fields gun and
the defense attempted to show that
McDuffie fired the revolver twice the
next morning, after he had taken 1t
from Field.
In this connection there was a faint
echo of the famous ill-starred McDuf.
fie-Kellett police investigation of sew
eral months ago.
''If Detective Swaden, who was with
you that morning, says you fired
Fields gun twice he is mistaken. is
he?" Attorney Straus Queried of Me-
Duffie
IF he says that it's a lie" retorted
the captain of detectives with some
heat.

tc the same man who was employed.
by the Advertiser TO dig up evidence
against you some months ago" ques-
toned County Attorney Cathcart. but
Straus strenuously objected to this
and the witness was not permitted to-
answer.
McDuffie admitted, however, that
he had fired a revolver twice shortly
after leaving the Field place at Wa
hiawa. on the morning following the
murder, but declared the gun was his
own, that of Field being carried by,
Detective Sergeant John Kellett.
The narratives of Field and Sim
mons, in which the jury displayed an
intense interest, were to the effect
that Field had not handled Simmons
gun that night; that Santos had in
vited Simmons to participate in duel
outside the billiard room, and that
after the Porto Rican mad received the
fatal wound he had reiterated his ha-
tired against the colored soldier, VOW
ing he would go after" Simmons
again if he recovered. Both witnesses
averred the first shot came from the
direction of Santos room, that Sim
mons fired only once, and then two
other shots were heard, coming from
the direction of the room.
Two bullets, three revolvers, wo-
mans corset and a bureau drawer
were introduced in evidence by the
prosecution. Captain of Detec- |
tives McDuffie said he found |
the bullets in the corset, which |
lay in the bureau drawer in !
Santos room. Presumably they were |
fired at Santos but missed him and |
were finally checked by the corset |

The cross-examination of Field will |
be taken up by the prosecution tomor-

MAHUKA SIIEIS
SATISFACTORY TO
us. ATTORNEY
Jeff McCarn Anxious To See
Early Action in Erection of
New Federal Building

United States District Attorney jeff
McCarn made plain his position in the
.Mahuka site matter yesterday. He
is not advocating a new site, he de-
clared, but merely urging action to
the result that the federal appropri-
alton may become available at an
early date and actual construction be-
gin.
As ! understand it." he said, the
appropriation for the site is about
$4,000 less than the values fixed on
the present properties in the condem-
nation suits Of last year. From what
have learned from Washington am
afraid we will have difficulty in get
ting that additional $4,000 or $4,000
necessary don't want to see the
whole proposition held up indefinitely,
$4,000 tied up and unavailable for
the lack Of the additional amount now
required. = D.,
'"The Mahuka site seems to have
been definitely decided upon by the
people of the municipality. That suits
me. Now IL they can make some ar
rangement whereby we can get the
$4,000 already set aside for the pur-
chase of the land. and the additional
appropriation for the building, they
will be accomplishing Just what / am
asking" ~
II is intimated that one way Of COM
promising the matter would be to re-
daoe the building plans so that $751;
900 or $4,000 can be shifted from
the building to the site fund. making
the federal structure little more
modest in size or physical adornment,
but making its construction a certain
ty OF the Immediate future. Whether
such arrangement can be made and,
will prove practical remains to be as
certained.

Speaking of the project of the Ma

This board, after going into the
question with great thoroughness, sub
mitted a report, which embodies the
following decision, that probably we
should be unable to hold the whole of
the island of Oahu in case of an at
tack coming in considerable force, an
attack of a character which would re-
suit from loss of sea control in the
Pacific for a time, and they decided
that a land defense line should be es-
tablished, beginning at Diamond Head
crater and running up to the crest Of
the main mountain ridge to the east.

the road goes, and then following
down on the ridge range to the old

these is the right of the county COM

HEADLIGHT MATTER ...
 AGAIN BEFORE A. (. 6.
Testimony Taken Before Commission,
 Order Will Issue Later

The corporation commission yes terday had the old matter of the To- comotive headlight up for investiga- tion again, and representatives of he railroads and labor organizations were present before the commission giving testimony relative to the 1900 candle power headlight that was prescribed by he legislature in the law recently declared unconstitutional by the supreme court.
 M. J. Clancy, representing the Southern Pacific sysem, Leroy An derson, representing the United Verde and Mel E. Bailey of the United Verde railway, while the en- sineers, firemen and trainmen were all represented.
 It has been the contention of the railroads that the headlight prescrib- | ed in the law, showing a light of | 1900 candle power strength is en- tirely too strong, while it was con- ceeded a the time the law was passed that it carried the approval of the organizations of railway
 workers.
 l The commission got no farther
 than the taking of testimony. Thi:
 will later be transcribed and aftel
 having been studied by the commis
 sion an order in he matter will b'
