WILL YET REJECT CHINESE
POSITION TAKEN BY SPECIAL
AGENT BROWN.
Without Disrespect to the Court or
Criticism of the Decision He will
Follow His Instructions.

81 cannot assume that the positive
and explicit instructions given me by
the Treasury department when it seat
me here are or can be modified by my
understanding of a court decision.
shall go right ahead rejecting Chinese
who seek to land here without the
qualifications required by the United
States laws. Those who came on the
Gaelic and were rejected will have to
go back to China unless the courts
here release them. Those who come on
the China, if any do come, who are
not qualified to land under United
States Law, will follow the same
course"
Such is the position of Special Ag-
ent j. X. Brown takes on the Chinese
matter, as he expressed it himself to-
day.
81 do not mean by this" he continu-
ed, "any disrespect to the court or the
chief justice who rendered the habeas
corpus opinion yesterday. 1 do not
mean it as any criticism of the deci-
sion. I do not even challenge the cor
rectness of the decision in the position
| take. 1t is simply that l am an adj
ministrative officer; my instructions
are explicit and imperative. They
are the instructions of department
of the executive branch of the gov
ernment. Whether those instructions
will be modified when yesterdays de-
cision is made known at Washington
! ton, / cannot tell. But I cannot as
sumo that they will be, and until they
are shall follow those l have.
"If the Chinese who are rejected un-
der those instructions have right to
| land in Hawaii under the principles
laid down in yesterdays decisions, the
courts here will, | assume, give them
the right. They will not be injured
by my position"
All the Chinese who were discharged
yesterday by Chief Justice Judd had
authorization to land issued prior to
July Sth, the day the Coptic brought
the news of annexation, and of course
prior to August 18th, the day the SOY
ereignty of the Islands was transferr
ed. 1t is the opinion of those who
have given the subject attention that
yesterdays decision may not have de
cided the right of those Chinese to
land whose return permits were issu
ed after July Sth, when information
of changed relations was first receiv.
ed, or after August 18th, when the
sovereignty was actually transferred
The proceedings in the case of the
| Chinese rejected from the Gaelic will
proceed without reference to the de-
cision yesterday, the interested par.
ties in which arrived by the City ot
Peking.
Another petition for habeas corpu.
on behalf of four Chinese who arrived
by the Gaelic is being prepared and
will be filed this afternoon. The
grounds are the same as those Sc

FOUL MURDER At WA|ALUA
JAPANESE WOMAN NICIOUSLY
STRUCK DOWN.
Deputy Marshal Investigates and Ar
rests Three Men--Story of the
Crime.

At exactly two minutes to 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon Deputy Marshal
Chillingworth received Il telephone
message from Deputy Sheriff Cox of
Waialua that japanese woman had
been found dead in the fields and that
foul play was suspected. The local
official Immediately took hack and
caught the $40 train for the new
plantation.
When he reached Waialua the depu-
ty marshal found that Cox had made a
partial investigation. Three japanese
were there and had been giving some
testimony concerning the death of the
woman. Chillingworth's suspicious
were aroused by the story of these
men and he had them arrested and
held for investigation. The eXamina-
ton took until 2 o'clock this morn
ing. About a dozen japanese labor
ers were examined. All the evidence
educed seemed to point to the three
men as the guilty parties.
Chillingworth returned to town by
the o'clock train this morning bring
ing the three men with him. Their
names are Harado, Mishimoto and Ho-
izuma. The dead woman's name is
Driu. A coroner's inquest will be
held over the dead body of the woman
at Waialua. The men will be locked
in Oahu prison for safe keeping. In
dications are that they will each be
charged with murder in the first de-
gree.
Yesterday morning the three Japa-
nese visited Sheriff Cox and told him
that if he heard of any foul play in
which Japanese woman was con-
cerned that they were not to blame
for it,; that they had reason to believe
that some crime would be committed
but knew nothing more about it. \
short time later the finding of the
body was reported to Cox. Shortly
after noon Cox took charge of it and
| then began his examination of the
three Japanese about the matter. They
tried to shift the blame upon others
That was the situation when the dep
utv marshal reached Waialua.
An examination of the body reveal
ed the fact that the woman was strucE
on the right temple with a club or the
| butt of a cane knife with sufficient
| force to cause almost instant death
| There was also evidence of beating
but the blow referred to was the
cause of death.
All the Japanese connected with the
affair are laborers on the new Waia
lua plantation. One of the men is
the husband of the murdered woman
There is strong evidence as to the
particular man who dealt the death
blow, but the prosecution will reserve
that part of its hand until the cour
hearing.

COMMITTEE SEES CABINET .THE BOARD Of EDUCATION
SCHEME FOR GREATER HARBOR
DISCUSSED.
Government is Prepared to do Some
Work-A Handicap-Plans to be
Considered.

j. F. Hackfeld, W. NJ. Giffard, f. \.
Schaefer, f. NJ. Swanzy, c. II. Cooke,
Captain W. b. Godfrey and {. l.. Wight
representing the Chamber of Com.
merce had an audience with the Cab.
met at 10 O'Clock this morning on the
subject of larger harbor.
Mira Hackfeld. chairman of the COM
mittee, stated the object of the call
The Chamber of Commerce had in
structed the committee to ascertain
what plans the government had reach
ed with regard to harbor enlargement.
There were as yet no recommends
tions. If the government had no plans
for immediate work, it was desired to
know if it was in a position to carry
out improvement schemes if their ne
cessity were shown.
There were remarks by several. 1t
was represented that shipping was
greatly inconvenienced by the prese nj
lack of docking facilities. Every
year the situation was growing more
| grave. In the past several months
vessels had been required to wait fol
an almost indefinite period to dis
charge. The inter-sland fleets had
also been greatly inconvenienced.
All the members of the cabinet had
a word in reply. They said that the
government was thoroughly alive to
the need of better facilities and was
! prepared to entertain schemes for the
enlargement of the harbor. The Int.
rior department was greatly handl-
capped in having but one dredger
This machine was needed most of the
/ time in clearing the mud from the bay
! If the government had another dredg.
er faster work could be accomplished
1t had been decided to deepen one
side of the Richards street slip as soor
as possible to admit one large vesse
at time. Later the other side could
also be finished. The government's
plans with respect to the western side
of the harbor was temporarily stayeC
by the suit now in court, the circum
| stances of which were well known
| However, it was possible to max,
some improvements down there out
side of the suit lines.
1t was the desire of the Cabinet tha
the Chamber of Commerce submit ;
definite plan for harbor enlargement
This would be considered in connec
ton with the governments ideas.
with this the committee withdrew
\ special meeting of the Chamber O
Commerce will be called for the pur
pose of discussing and adopting ;
| scheme for enforcement

GOVERNMENT COAL PILES.
Like Fever Patients Their Tempera
ture is Taken Daily.

The first engine is still playing on
the government coal pile just Waikiki
of the Sailors home. 1t has been
there continuously for four days now.
When fire first broke out in the coal
two weeks ago the engine was kept
at work pouring water on the mass
for four days. 1t was thought than
that all fire had been entirely exiting
uished. But four days ago it broke
out again, and again the fire depart
ment had to be notified. Men have
been put at work on this particular
pile of coal digging out the place
where the fire seems to have started
in order to thoroughly eXtinguish il.
This second breaking out of fire
through spontaneous combustion has
made Consul General Haywood a little
apprehensive. He has now instituted
system of taking the temperature oi
the various piles of government coal
This together with close watch OIL
them, it is expected will make it pos
slble to discover fire should combus-
ton start again, before it gets un-
der any headway.

RIVER PARK

Pumping from the harbor into Riv-
er park has been going on for two
days, and Mr.. Rowell says he has
very nearly filled up the holes that
were made for road work. However
the pumping is likely to continue for
a couple of weeks yet, as it is the in
teI1ion to use the park ground as a
pumping place for the harbor sIush
until the proper depth is reached in
the harbor. The superintendent of
public works has very little interest
in children's play grounds or in kin
dergarten work.

COLOSSAL WATER SCHEME.
y 100000 Pound Plan Proposed for
West Australia.

Captain Williamson of the CITY of
Adelaide says a scheme is being agi-
tated in Freemantle and the part of
west Australia tributary to that city
to construct system of water works
to cost 100000 pounds. The propos-
ed source'of supply is a lake about 800
miles from Freemantle. Very extern
sive and expensive pumping works
will be required. One of the chief
purposes of the water system will be
to open up gold fields which exist
there but cannot be worked profitab-
ly for lack of water.
If carried out this scheme will be
one of the most colossal of its kind in
the world.

will Form 4 WOInan's Club,

A movement is now on foot in Boulder
contemplating the organization of de-
partmental woman's club. The plans
upon which it is to be inaugurated will
insure effective work in all those de part
ments Of womans sphere, educational,
phlanthropic, musical, charities and cor
rections, village improvements. ETC., by
assisting the efforts of each department
by centralized purpose. The plans
contemplated are along lines worked
out by the Denver club of the same
character and will in no Wise interfere or
conflict with the societies now existing in
the city. Of course, some of these clubs
already organized will asso late the m
selves as a department of the proposed
large club, thus gaining the advantages
of the larger stronger organization.
There is no reason why the club should
not commence work by the first of the
year with membership of between three
and four hundred. The matter of organ.
iza,ion has been thoroughly discussed
and it is probable that steps toward the
accomplishment of the purpose will be
taken at once.
