THOSE KALlHI GUARDS

J. ID. McVeigh, superintendent of the
Kalihi detention camp was seen by a
Bulletin reporter yesterday relative to
the recent trouble with the military
guards left on duty at the camp when
the N. G.. II. marched into town.
II will give you the story from the
very beginning of the trouble so that
you may see how one-sided Corporal
tSorey's talk was" said Mr.. McVeigh.
You of course know that when the
military went away from here, Col
Jones very kindly left squad of men
to do guard duty. These men under
stood that they were subject to the
orders Of Mr.. Hemenway, who has alb
solute charge of the guard system Of
the camp. There were two watches,
one under Corporal Storey and the
other under Corporal Houghtailing.
Some OF these military guards had
done things that were not strictly in
accordance with the rules of the camp
but nothing was said as the men were
left through the kindness Of Col. Jones
who has always been most obliging to
us and who never failed to do his duty
while In camp out here.
"On Wednesday night one of the
guards, Mccarthy by name, built q big
bonfire In very close proximity to one
OF the camp buildings and. arranging
a seat for himself, set about to warm
MS feet. Mr.. Hemenway saw the fire
and, running to the place, told Nc
Carthy that he must put out the fire
as 1t was menace to the camp build
lngs. The fellow gave an insolent
answer and was Immediately discharg-
ed by Mr.. Hemenway.
THE next morning Mccarthy came
up to the administration building and
complained to me, saying that Mr..
Hemenway had discharged him with
out cause. Later he accused the gu
perintendent of the guards with drunk.
enness told Mccarthy what
thought Of him and suggested that Il
would probably be best for him to take
an immediate walk to town. I had al.
ready investigated the matter and
found everything Just as Mr.. Hemen.
way had reported to me.
ION the afternoon of the next day Il
was Corporal Storey's watch and hi
should have been about on the lines
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1900-02-19

attending to his duties. Instead of
that he retired to his tent and slept all
afternoon. He was caught still slum-
bering by Mr.. Hemenway who i'm
mediately told him he could pack up
and leave the camp.
Storey became insolent and later
on called at my Office. Several of us
were sitting on the veranda at the time.
He was very insolent and stated that
he would make things hot for the
camp Immediately upon arrival in
town. He would expose lot of things
about the manner of running the place.
Civilian guards had been retained after
having been guilty of serious breaches
of the camp rules.
81 told Mr.. Storey that Mr.. Hemen-
way had control of the guards and that
he had found 1t necessary to discharge
him, which / considered was no more
than right, under the circumstances.
Storey again began to abuse the camp
and ] warned him to take leave i'm
mediately. He would not do this and
began another string of abuse. 1t was
then that slapped him with my open
hand and Storey left. consider that
l stood more than many another man
under the circumstances for Storey not
only attacked me personally but
abused the whole camp.
"Storey tried to get all of the men to
leave, but was not successful with
those who saw just how the thing was
and, in place of the men in his watch
leaving, they all asked to be retained
and those who leit were the men OF
Corporal Houghtailing's watch.
"The whole trouble arose from the
fact that some of the military guards
such as Corporal Storey considered
that they could run things here and
took umbrage at being discharged by
"a malihini," as Storey expressed 1t.
