charter drafts.
mere have been rumOrs around the
convention ever since it began that
andrews is opposing any move for a
short ballot and that he will dis

presented.
Delegate Thompson said this morn
ing:
IF there is one man IN the charter
lrepision convention who ought to be
neutral II is Lorrin Andrews. He is
mot only chairman of the Republican
party but he is chairman of the COM
lmlttee OF Is named to make a careful,
impartial report on the various drafts
submitted. Yet in referring to the
very thoughtful charter plan which
w: C.. Achi submitted, Andrews last
sight called It Charley Achi's com
mission government and in referring
TO the able plan offered by the NUM-
cipal Research Club after more than
Two years work, he called it Govern
or Frear's government in each case
plainly intimating that these were pet
schemes by individuals.
K Furthermore, when a very proper
proposal came up to limit the time in
which new charter plans could be pre-.
scented, Andrews objected. Unless
there is limit-whether it be Is days
or 90 days-a man with a scheme to
work might come in during the last
few days OF the convention with a pro-
posal which would upset the work
done because 1t would give those who
are opposed to, any revision a chance

merry of the Pearl City Fruit Company
on August q, in. which Lister was
stabbed and Kakutani received q
broken arm, and suffered bruises about
the head and face.
The case is being handled by
Charles F. Chillingworth, third deputy
attorney. and following his report on
the investigation Of the fight order to
issue the summons to both men has
been given.
Kakutani, as soon as he arrived In
Honolulu, following the fight and the

at Pearl City, but his wounds were
cared for by Dr. MeGettigan.

Of the evidence, and II Kakutani's
statement is true that Lister Is guilty
Of two distinct assaults, one uf which
Lister practically admits.
If Listers statement Is true" says
the Chillingworth report, then Kaku.
tani must have committed two as.
saults with weapon obviously and
imminently dangerous to life, to wit,
knife. 1t might be well at this time
to call attention to the fact that Kaku-
tani admits having, the knife and OF
using it on Lister in the fight which
took place outside of the cannery
building. -
Whether Cove took unnecessarily
harsh measures to secure Kakutani
Is a matter of opinion, when tax.
ing into consideration the fact that
there was considerable excitement at
the time, and the fact that find no
evidence showing that Mr.. Cove knew
that Kakutani had had his forearm
broken.
Statements have been made of as
saults made by Mr.. Lister on other
Japanese laborers some time prior to
the trouble with Kakutani, but as It
had no bearing on the matter In ques-
ton, l made no investigation other
than to make a note Of the names OF
the persons alleged to have been as
Saulted.
Il would suggest, II l may be per-

made, that charges of assault be plac-

and that a trial be had In order that
the guilt of one or the other, or both
may be determined"

Well we had such a good time with the Vests
that clean forgot to ask Ed how he felt about the
War, but know he's either for the Germans OF
for the Allies and that's how they all are OF the
Neck.
We saw lots Of people at 0rland and Penobscot
and they all mighty interested in the War,
too their sentiment being exactly like the senti-
ment Of the people OF the Neck, though some is
more so than others, which Is only natural when
you stop TO think about 1t, and remember that
business is rotten and that some blame the War
for IT,
Well, we finally reached Uncle Charles Gray's,
up in Penobscot, what we hadn't seen since Aunt
Priscilla came down to Fairport TO have seven
teeth extracted, which is large number out Of
one face and they gave US a fine dinner, and II
they hadn't give it 10 US free I'd be ashamed at
only charging you one dollar for it in my expense

won't make no special preparations for our visit
for il won't seem bit like company having us
and are always ready to put up with lots OF

Uncle Charles asked me not TO quote him on the

you're an able young fellow and don't want
anv trouble with your boss. which is the last
thing on earth I'd want 70 see happen, and
wouldn't let it happen for anything in the
world except maybe your keeping back dol
lar that's rightfully mine.
Well, I'm glad you liked the last piece but
why shouldn't you, for every one down here
says it was the best thing in the paper, and no
one would ever dream TO look at me that
could write it. And Boyd Bartlett, who used
70 be principal OF high school in Massachu-
sets. and knows everything about literature,
he says that he never read anything like II IN
his life, which is a compliment to you, too,
for having the good sense to print it, and you
might bear it in mind when you're making out
the check for this piece.
THE LAUNDRY MAN HAS FAITH IN
HIS LITERARY ABILITY.
And Clarence Wheeler, who runs the laun-
dry and is doing right well with it, and 1t GER
tainly is a convenience not to have 10 send
your collars TO Belfast but be able TO have
them done right here in town, he's thinking OF
hiring me 10 write his dodgers for him, only
writing advertisements is important business,
but still he thinks ! got the ability 70 do 1t
and he's willing TO give me a show at 1t.
So you can see that my last piece made
big impression down here and / shouldn't
wonder if other papers asked me to write for
them, and if l did all your new subscribers
would quit you and go to that new paper I'd be
writing for then, so | guess / got you where
! need you. all right, with that and the fact
that your boss would probably, when you
come right down 10 it, say well. editors can
be made but Peaseley Plummer Perkinses have
to be born, and you got to get old Pease back
somehow. And ! guess you know that wouldn't
be easy, me being independent and hating 10
throw down my paper for anything, them
treating me right. and probably wouldn't do it
unless you paid me more money.
Well, | showed your letter saying you'd
stand expenses OF rig for me to drive of the
Neck and TO Orland and Penobscot learning
sentiment about this War to Will Hooper,
and like told you, he was willing 10 knock
quarter of the regular price account OF him
being mentioned in the paper, making the
price Sl.75 But it seemed like he wanted
Molly his mare shoj. up III Orlsnd. and when
he asked me to stop of there asked him if
