NEW BOARD DIRECTORS R|G INDUSTRY MEMORIAL
PRESENTED TO THE COMMISSION
THIS MORNING.
1t Says the Second Largest Industry
in the Islands Will be Ruined With
out Chinese Labor.

Two memorials on behalf of the
Chinese were presented to the Com
mission this morning by w. Horace
Wright One of them was on behalf
of the rice planters and was preplr-
ed by Lorrin NJ. Thurston. The orher
was signed by $50 individuals and
firms and asks for legislation permit
ting Chinese laborers to sojourn lere
for period not exceeding three
years, and also that Chinese women,
and minors under ten years of age.
who have relatives here by blood CT
marriage may be admitted to resi-
dence.
Mr., Wright made no argument in
presenting these memorials but an
swered a number of questions put to
him. In his answers he brought one
thing in particular that was entirely
new to the Congressional members of
the Commission and seemed 20 create
quite an impression upon them. That
was that according to Hawaiian law
the political status of the child fol-
lows that of the mother, which is the
reason why the children of Chinese
fathers and Hawaiian mothers are
tried by a Hawaiian jury.
The memorial on behalf of the rice
industry and the Chinese engaged in
it, represents that the rice industry
is the second in Importance in the Is
lands: is almost exclusively in the
hands of the Chinese, rs out of S44
rice plantations being owned by Chi
nese. Almost without exception the
workers on the rice plantations are
Chinese. There are 5000 of them and
the industry indirectly supports, by
way of rents, freights, insurance,
commissions and supplies furnished,
about 5000 more, principally Hawaii
ans and whites.
The area of land in rice cultivation
is about 10000 acres, yielding an APP
proXimate rental of $50 an acre. The
annual crop is about 10000 tons,
worth 800 a ton, or a total of 50 ,000.-
600 Three-fourths of it is consumed
in the Islands, and one-fourth of it
is exported.
Most of the lands used in rice cul-
tivatiGsi are low and swampy and un-
available for other products. The rice
fields are for the most part small. un-
even and broken, making hand labor
a practical necessity. and no other ma
tionality has been found able to do
the laborious work involved.
In view of these facts it is urged
that to exclude Chinese labor as fore
shadowed in the Newlands resolution
would be to destroy the second in
dustry in Importance in the Islands;
one that supports directly 5000 peo-
pie, and indirectly 5000 more; which
brings into beneficial use 10000 acres
of land, yielding an annual rental of
100000, and which if not used for
rice, would revert back to swamp or
morass from which it was reclaimed.
1t is urged that it is within the
power of Congress to legislate special
ly to save this industry to the Islands
without running counter to the gen
eral objection to Chinese in the Unit
ed States. It is therefore asked that
such legislation be recommended as
will enable Chinese laborers to come
to Hawaii TO engage in rice cultiva-
ton, and no other occupation.

WHY NOT BUY A sINGERP

You wan a sewing machine? Then
why not buy a singer; there has been
more of them sold than any other
make. They wear longer, run light
er and do better work than any other
make. They have never been a cut

the Singer will not admit of cut pri-
ces. A few dollars in the original
cost between a good machine and a

PRIVILEGES CHINESE WANT.
They Ask for a Liberal Immigration
Law

The memorial asking for limited
immigration of Chinese, signed by $50
individuals and firms, and presented
to the Commission this morning, is as
follows:
Whereas, the prohibitory laws of
the United States against Chinese inn
migration, and the decisions thereon
by the supreme court of the United
States, and by the secretary of the
treasury. and the promulgated opin-
ions of the attorney general, originat-
ed from the fact that such immigra-
tion affected or threatened to affect
the interests of the United States and
endanger the good order of certain To-
calities thereof, and
Whereas, such conditions have not
obtained in Hawaii nor are likely to
do so. in fact on the contrary. the i'm
migration of Chinese to Hawaii has
proven beneficial to the country and
its continuation is essential to the
welfare of the Islands,
Therefore, we. the undersigned.
hereby suggest for your consideration
that the proposal for a new form of
SONCl Sllhll tllllOtN
for a liberal Chinese Immigration law,
permitting all the Chinese residents
now entitled by law to the right of a
return permit continuance of that
right; also that Chinese merchants
and travellers may be permitted to
visit Hawaii for a period not to eX-
ceed six months. good bonds being fill
ed to warrant their leaving at the
end of that time; also that Chinese
laborers may be permitted to sojourn
in Hawaii for a period not to exceed
three years, good bonds being filed TO
guarantee their departure; also that
Chinese women and minors under ten
years of age, who have relatives by
blood or marriage residing in Hawaii
be permitted to come to this coun-
try.
And for this we will ever pray.

THE YACHT RACE.
Decision in the First Glass Still in
Allegiance.

The result of the first class yacht
race in last Saturdays regatta is still
officially undetermined. The judges
are preparing letter which will state
the facts of the race, the time of start
ing of each yacht in the race and the
time of crossing the line on the re-
turn, leaving the dispute as to time
allowance to be settled by the regat-
ia committee.
In the second class yacht race Mr..
Godfrey who sailed the Pauline has
written letter to the judges dis
claiming any contest for position, stat
ing that his yacht did not sail the
course and giving the reasons why it
did not. This sportsmanlike action
leaves the decision of the judges clear
of any question and makes a protest
unnecessary.

Can't. s. l.. Milliken.

An interesting story is told of Repre-
sentative Burleigh's friendship fer the
son of his former congressional rival in
Capt. S. l.. Milliken's appointment to a
staff position, which illustrates Congress
man Burleigh's recognized ability and
energy in looking after the interests Of
the people of the Third district.
1t is well known in Maine that Capt.
Milliken, who IS yet very young man,
graduated frCm the Military Academy at
West Point soon after his fathers death
This would have given him the rank of a.
second lieutenant in the army but he
preferred to resign to engage in business
with his uncle in New York. When war
was declared he wanted to enter the
army again and came to Washington to
see if there was any opportunity for him.
He was not successful at the War De-
partment and accordingly visited some
of the Maine members of the House,
who served with his father There is
such pressure for army appointments
from every Maine district and so few can
ultimately be selected that these gentle
men could offer Capt. Milliken little en-
enlargement. However. while Capt.
Milliken was in Speaker Reeds private
room Representative Burleigh happened
to enter. He learned there what the
young man was in quest of and immedi-
ately set out to secure it for him. Mr.
Burleigh and Secretary Alger know each
other very well. 1t will be remember
ed that Gen. Alger, when at the head
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
made an official visit to Augusta, where
he was royalty received by Mr.. Burleigh.
then governor of Maine.
The circumstances were made known
to Secretary Alger, who said he was very
sorry but no places remained, which he
could give to the young applicant. "lf
you had come week ago" he said TO
Capt. Milliken, "you might be an adj
utant general now. Mr.. Burleigh
urged the special fitness of Capt. Milli-
ken for military position, his excellent
training at West Point, and his endorse
ment by members of the Maine delega-
ton for army service. Finally Secretary
Alger promised to do the best thing he
could, if Mr.. Burleigh would wait for a
day or two, aud there the matter was
allowed to rest. The appointment was
forwarded to the Senate with the next
list of military nominations.
