SOME CITY OFFICIALS roo
BUSY TO DO POLITICS

While many candidates for nomina
ton in the approaching primary cleo
ton are out working overtime in their
campaign, two officials in the city and
county building are staying in their
offices, occupied by an unusual amour:
of municipal business.
David Kalauokalani. Jr., city and
county clerk, and James BickneH, city
and county auditor, are these two Of
ficials who have no time for cam.
paignfng. Both of them, short of a
clerk or two. are obliged to put in
extra hours every day; so the pri
mary will probably come and go with.
out their being able to stump the
county.
Fortunately, they are well known
over the island, both of them having
been in Office since the inception OF
the county act They are bobth Re.
publicans.

M'BRIDE AND
ALONG CASES
ARE DISMISSED
Continued from page one)

! The commissioner stated that this pro
ceedure would cause unnecessary de
lay and that cabling would save time
Attorney Breckons took the floor al
this point and said that perhaps the
defendants would admit what Mr. OF
fey would testify.
"Mr. Offley will testify that on the
evening in question he saw the de-
PENDANTS in company with two prosti.
tutes, said the district attorney.
We will admit that on the evening
inquestion Mr.. Offley saw the defend.
ants in company with the women nam
ed in the complaint" answered Mr.
Breckons.
Mr.. Mccain retorted, THAT proof is
sufficient, because the women we're
prostitutes.
MIR Offley does not know that they
were. replied counsel for the defense.
He does" stated the district at
tcrney.
I'VE admit. then. that on the even
ing in question the defendants were
seen by Mr.. Offlev in company with
the women named In the complaint
and that Mr.. Offley would testify he
knew the women to be prostitutes"
was Mr.. Breckons' reply.
Mr.. McCarn said. Il don't care, You
can do as you please want Mr.
Offley here. don't want to cable for
him.

the case

BRIEFS READY IN
TEST Of CIVIL
SERVICE POWER
David Kamaku Hopes to Col
/ Iect Salary From Audi
tor Bicknell

Briefs on the first test case before
the supreme court, on the power OF
the sheriff TO appoint or promote men
without reference to the civil service
commission, have been completed and
filed with the court. The case is to
be decided on these briefs and on an
agreed statement of facts, argument
having been waived by the attorneys
representing the Plaintiff and defend
ant. = =
This action Is brought by David Ka.
mahu against James Bicknell, city and
county auditor. When Kamahu was
promoted from sergeant to captain,
without taking the commissions pro
motion examinations, the latter body
directed the auditor TO hold up his sal.
airy, which has been done.
The point made by Judge A. A.
Wilder, representing the plaintiff, is
that under the civil service act the
sheriff may appoint anyone regardless
of the commission. p. L. Weaver,
deputy city and county attorney, con-
tends that appointments and promo
tions are subject to the approval and
rules OF the commission. Nil.
The second case before the supreme
court testing the powers of the sher,
Tiff, the Jack Kalakiel case, has not
been brfefed yet. The two cases are
distinguishable and bring up different
points. The former is concerned with
promotions in the service mainly,
while the latter has reference to orr.
ginal appointments KaIakiela, who
was made clerk to the deputy sher.
iff, maintains that he was refused an
examination by the commission,
though he requested one, and has at
all times been ready to take one.
