Honolulu, Nov. 10. It was said
this morning that Secretary of the
Territory Carter had been ap
I proached by various business men
who expressed it as their conviction
that some action should be taken,
either by popular demonstration in
the form of n mass meeting or tak
ing the matter into the courts by
injunction or other proceedings, to
restrain the present administration,
about to retire, from entering into
large contracts in matters of Gov
ernment work, entailing questions
of financial policy and possible con
fusion between Territorial and
county interests.
Secretary Carter was seen and
asked concerning this report and he
stated that he had been approached
by several of the business men of
the community with a view to pre-1
venting the Government from tak-
ing upon itself responsibilities which I
might prove a burden to the com- i matter of the rejection of ballots,

, answer to the direct question he I partment ot Public Works were
stated that any taxpayer, he
, thought, had a right to bring pro
ceedings, if he so desired, to restrain
any action on the part of an officer
of the Government.
"As far as the office of the
Superintendent of Public Worns is?
concerned," said Secretary Carter,
"I have nothing whatever to say as
' to what shall be done or what shall
not be done; but it does seem, in
the light of my soon having to as
sume the duties of Governorship,
that I should exhibit some interest .
in matters that are likely to ma-
1 terially affect my administration. '
"The Superintendent of Public!
Works may enter into as many con- j
tracts as he likes between now and I

"It does not seem right that big 1

"We should be able to start clean,
knowing where wc stand. There
will be most emphatic objections
if money is spent, for example, on
the counties which belongs by right
to the Territory.
"We must not confuse Territorial
and county affairs."
Secretary wrote to Superintend
ent Cooper yesterday afternoon re
ferring to the statement of the latter
in the morning's council meeting
that the only contracts under the
Loan Act were those of the Diamond
Head Reservoir and the storm
sewer. Carter stated in the letter
that he had been informed by

advances under the assurance that

Cliuru'fs of Fraud In Oitliu lilcclloii
Will lie I'nnoil.
Honolulu, November 10. When
Judge Gear's criminal court com
menced work this morning Attor
ney Clarence W. Ashford, who was
a candidate on the Home Rule
ticket for Supervisor in the Fourth
District, asked the attention of the
court and spoke as follows:
"May it please your Honor, I
wish to draw the attention of the
court to the election held a week
ago today for county officers. I
am in possession of information se
cured from very credible sources to
the effect that, in numerous in
stances which I have cited in this
paper which I hold in my hand,
direct and very serious violations of
the election laws were committed.
"There was false personation of
voters, men voting in the names of
dead and absent voters and perjury
was committed in swearing in such
votes. And there was fraud in the 1
dismissed from service because of
the way they voted or f efused to
vote.
"I have written out a number of
such instances, naming witnesses
who can be called upon to substan
tiate the facts alleged in this paper.
"I call this matter to the atten
tion of your Honor as the presiding
judge with the view that your
Honor will submit the matter to the
grand jury for investigation."
Here Mr. Ashford passed a type-
written document up to Judge Gear,
the Judge proceeding to look over
its contents.
Continuing, Ashford said: "My
information is to the effect that the
Attorney General and one of his
deputies were most persistently en-
gaged in coaching a certain man at-
t Arttrvt itirr ininnrcnnntini iliij 111011
having sworn that he was another
voter."
Judge Gear here stated that it
seemed that the members of the
grand jury should take up the mat
ter themselves, the Attorney Gen
eral's department, to a certain ex
tent, being implicated in the charges.
Deputy Attorney General Peters
did not see that any charge had
been made; Ashford had merely
made an ex parte motion. "I do
not know," said Peters, "that there
is here any charge against the At
torney General's department that
your Honor should intimate that
the Attorney General could not act
in conjunction with the grand jury."
Judge Gear "When the court
charged the grand jury it did not
give any matters especially into
their charge. The Attorney Gen
eral was to wait on the grand jury
and that body was charged to look
into all such matters as might be
brought to their attention by the
Attorney General.
"There has been an
attitude on
here!"
Ashford "I was not referring to
Mr. Peters. He is not implicated
at all!"
Peters "I know I am not itnpli-
cated!"
Ashford "I don't know how
you can know it unless I tell you."
Peters "I certainly know it, as
far as any crime is concerned."
Ashford "I was simply giving
you a certificate to the effect that
you were not implicated."
Peters "I don't want any cer
tificate. I don't need any."
Judge Gear "The grand jury
has adjourned until Thursday, has
it not, Mr. Attorney General?"
Peters "It has, your Honor."
Judge Gear "On Thursday,
then, at 1 o'clock, the grand jury
will appear for further charge.
This matter will be attended to."

F.vrcutlvc Council .Methods Must
do.
Honolulu, Nov. 10. Secretary
Carter was asked this morning if
he would continue the present sys
tern of executive councils when he
became Governor.
"I have been considering the
mnlteri
replied the Secretary,
"and, while at present I have for
mulated no definite plan, there are,
it seems to me, a number of disad
vantages in connection with the
present system. For example as it I
is now in some cases, the minutest j
details of any proposition arc sub-1
mitted in executive council, the
head of he department submitting j
these details, taking up all the time
of the council, clogging the progress
of business md really forcing to the
attention of the council much that
might just as well have been for
mulated beforehand and submitted
as a whole. Others having business ,
are delayed in their work. Then
every member of the council cannot i
always be present and matters of!
importance requiring, perhaps, the I
attention of other hcids than the1
one submitting the proposition, are
delayed or not thoroughly treated 1
on account of t'.ib. absentee.
"I certainly believe that, in all
matters, two heads are better than
one and consultation must be had, 1
of course. I mean to keep in touch !
with the heads of all departments i
but, these heads, being men of I
trust, must, as far as many details j
are concerned, nave their business
in such shape that it can be brought
to completion without unnecessary
going over.
"I have not formed any plans
but I think it is safe to say that
such work as is now performed by
the executive council will be much I
simplified." j
Heiirilslee Head. 1
Augusta, Ga., Nov. 11. Rear
Admiral L. A. Beaidslee died here '
today after a short illness. 1
Rear .Admiral Beardslee was very
well known to the people of Hono-'
lulu, he having spent considerable '
time at this port when in active
service. His longest stay was in
1895, when he arrived in the cruiser !
Philadelphia, Captain Cotton, flag-1
ship of the Pacific Squadron, shortly
after the troubles of the Wilcox in-1
surrection. Beardslee served with
honors during the Civil War and
was retired February 1, 1898, after,
thirty-eight years' service in the;
Navy.
.

incut was taken up with the intro-,
dttction of bills and receiving peti-
tions. No business was done in the
