DEMOCRATS TO NOMNAEIROADS FILLED WITH JAPS'
MASS CONVENTIONS WITHOUT
PRIMARIES.
Those for Oahu will be Held Next Mon
day Night Territorial Convention to
be Called-Candidates

The Democrats have called mass no.
minating conventions for the Fourth
and Fifth Representative Districts,
and the Third Senatorial District.
These comprise the Island of Oahu.
The CONVEX tions are to be held in
Honolulu, week from last night, Sep
tember "a. They will in all probability
be held in the evening. This is the same
date as the Republican Territorial con-
Vention which is called for the fore
noon.
On the other Islands, the members of
the territorial central committee for
each island are to call conventions for
their respective islands at times and
places as shall seem most convenient.
For Maui +. H. Hayselden is directed
to call the convention; for Hawaii,
Palmer Woods. is to call the conven-
ton and j. M. Sims is to call the con-
Vention for Kauai.
These conventions are to make no.
limitations fer the Legislature and to Sc
lect delegates to the Democratic Terri
torial convention to be held at a time
and place to be decided on hereafter
by the Territorial committee.
This action was taken at a conference
of the members of the Territorial Cen
trail committee and other Democrats
held last evening in the office of Ma
/ tional Committeeman, w. H. Cornwell
in the Progress Block. The meeting
was well attended, and reports were
received of the condition of politics and
the party in every island. These re-
ports were for the most part of a very
encouraging nature, it is said.
AT any rate it was decided to put a
complete ticket in the field.
On the subject of fusion no action
was taken.
There was a considerable discussion
of candidates for delegate to congress
No nominations were made, or thought
! of, as the meeting had no power to
make nominations. or even any power
to commit the party to any candidate
! That was all left to the territorial con-
vention. A number of names were sug-
gested as possible or available candi-
J dates for delegates to congress. Prince
David Kawananakoa announced that
he could not be a candidate.
Among the persons spoken of for the
| party's candidate for delegate to con.
gress was p. d. r. Isenberg.
The place for holding the represen.
! tative ami senatorial conventions fol
! this island was left to be arranged By
the Chairman of the Territorial Cen
tral committee.
Considerable detail business in regar'
to the party organization and the plal
of campaign was transacted.

WOULD BREAK All ON
WHOLESALE PERJURY IN THE
POLICE COURT.
A Conspiracy to Convict a Chinese
officer OF Robbery Ends in a Con-
fusion Of Falsehoods,

"Solemnly swear that in this case
now before the court you will tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth, SC help you God"
A crowd OF Chinese took this oath in
the police court this morning and then
proceeded TO entertain Judge Wilcox
with what the police say was the best
lot of assorted lies ever offered here.
They were trying to prove that Officer
All On had committed robbery, togeth-
er with 5u Tim, who has been assisting
him in police work, but they gave such
diverse versions of the alleged robbery
that the judge lost no time in throwing
the case out of court, as soon as the
prosecutions testimony closed.
All On and Su Tim were accused of
robbing one Wong Yee last Wednesday.
Judge Davidson did the prosecuting
and Attorney Robertson appeared for
the defense. Wong Yee took the stand
and told story of how he was robbed
in his house on Liliha street. He had
just arrived there, it appeared, when
the two robbers showed up. One grab
bed him by the queue while the other
lifted his purse which had So in 1t.
The next witness for the prosecution
All Kim, had also seen the robbery.
1t took place close in front of where
he was standing, out on the street. Kim
quite distinctly saw All On put his
hand in " ong Yee's pocket and draw
forth five silver dollars. He was quite
sure he saw the five dollars and there
was no purse to hide them from his
eyes.
Prosecuting Attorney Davidson was
rather at sea after this strange differ
ence in stories of the robbery but, mo-
thing discouraged he put All You on
| the stand. All You swore to tell the
truth and perhaps he did so, but his

J through the whole case was involved
| in a maze of contradictions. Five OF
! six Chinese witnesses told as many diff

| of the robbery. Wong Yee had just got
home and he had been home all day;
he had sat in his home talking quietly
with some friends, and he had been
gambling and had become involved in
a row that was heard all over Liliha
street; the money was in purse anG
it was loose, and the robbery was done
in the house and it was done on the
street, in front of a large crowd of wit.
nesses, who stood by and watched while
the bold robbers put their hands IL
Wong Yee's pocket and extracted th'
loose silver dollars which Wong YET
said were in q purse.
When the prosecution closed Attorne!
Robertson moved for a dismissal, anC
Judge Wilcox agreed that there wert
kinks in the evidence which no jury

were discharged.
The case against the two defendants
is said to have been the result of a con
spiracy among Chinese to get rid of {

WANDERING FROM PLANTATION
TO PLANTATION.
They are Met With Pack on Back sing
ly and in Groups all over Hawaii and
Maui.

Some interesting side lights are
thrown on the labor conditions on the
plantations as they have been des-
cribed by plantation managers in The
Star by the things actually to be seen in
the plantation regions.
d. b. Machonachie of T. H. Davies e.
Company has just returned from a
months trip on Hawaii and Maui On
Hawaii he visited practically every
plantation from Kohala to Hilo. on
Maui he was all over the Island from
Lahaina to Hamakuapoko.
THE roads everywhere" he says
swarm with Japanese going from place
to place. No matter what road you ira
vel every two or three miles you will
meet Japanese with their packs on their
backs going from one plantation to an
other Sometimes it is one Japanese
alone Sometimes it is Japanese with
his wife Then there will be three or
four Japanese together and occasionally
there will be a japanese with his wife
and one, two or three children.
"They all carry packs which include
their blankets. clothes, cooking uten-
sils, little ornaments and jewelry and
some food, rice and other things. At
night they camp out or are sheltered at
the houses of Japanese along the roads
or in the plantation camps, They are
very fond of soda water and sweet
cakes and whenever they come to
Japanese store they almost invariably
buy these things.
"The sight of these wandering Jap
auese Is a common one everywhere on
Hawaii and Maui that 7 have been. It
Is found on every road. It is not so
common near Hilo as elsewhere.
MANY Japs have taken advantage
Of their freedom to escane their debts.
Many Of them were in debt to Japanese
store keepers camp cooks and others.
They simply picked up their packs and
ioined the marching crowd leaving their
debts. Some of the creditors have suf-
fered heavily.
"Few of these laborers apply for en-
ployment as laborers at the plantations
they visit, though some of them DO.
But great many of them apply for
employment on contract to do a speci-
fed amount of work. Tt is no uncom-
mon thing on a plantation to see a
crowd of ten or fifteen Japs applying to
| the head luna for work on these terms"

REGISTRATION ON kauai

LIHUE, September 15--Registration
for the November election is proceed
ing very slowly on the Island of Kauai.
This is not due to any backwardness
on the part of the voters to register,
but is due to the fact that so far the
Board of Registration for the Island
has given them little opportunity.
The Board consists of c. A. Rice, w.
G. Smith, and Rev. ]. B. Hanaike. w.
G.. Smith has been and is in i'll health,
and is physically unable to attend to
the duties Cf the Board The other two
members have given notice of sittings
of the Board at different times and
places, but rearly always, Rev. Hama
ike. 1t is said. has either failed TO ap-
pear, or after appearing has gone away,
leaving the Board without a quorum,
and necessitating adjournment. One
sitting has been held in Hanalei. Sew
eral have been held in Lihue, and no.
tices of sIttings at other places have
been given but practically no sittings
have been held. AS a result, registra-
tion is very backward.
Representations as to these facts will
be forwarded to Wray Taylor the Re-
gistrar OF Elections.

.KAUATS VERY OWN PARTY
CALL FOR THE CITIZENS HOME
RULE CONVENTION.
Will be Held at Lihue September 2s-
Call Includes Voters of all and Every
Political Faith.

LIHUE, September 15.-The Citizens
Home Rule party, is the newest politt-
cal organization to be launched. Its
promoters propose to avoid the Scylla
of national political parties in local
matters and the Charybdis of Wilcox
and his Independent Home Rule party
with their lunacy of a restoration of the
monarchy. and the repeal of annexation
A grand combination mass meeting
and convention of the citizens of. the
island, irrespective of party affiliations
has been called to meet in Lihue, Wed
nesday September 26 The call asks all
citizens to take part i'm It, and the pro-
moters have specifically asked and in
vited personally, leading Democrats and
Independents to come and take part in
the convention, and to assist in the
nomination of candidates who can be
supported by the whole voting strength
of the island. a slate has been prepar-
ed, and it is partly on the personnel OF
this slate that efforts to bring in the De
mocrats and Independents have been
made.
Considerable interest in the PROPOSE
tion has been worked up in Lihue and
the surrounding territory, and some et-
forts have been made to arouse interest
in it and secure attendance at IL from
the other districts of the island. Out
side of Lihue however no interest
of any magnitude has been shown,
anu little encouragement TO the move
ment has been given, although II
is probable that there will be some
individuals present from other districts
than Lihue. The natives do not quite
see the drift of the proposition and are
holding back None of the leaders OF
the native independent party have
given il their approval, and few II any
Democrats have accepted the PROPOSE
tion favorably.
The slate which it is proposed to work
through the convention is: G. N. Will
cox and w. H. Rice for the senate;
For representatives, S. K. Kaeo, John
Gandall. A. NJ. McBryde, H. K. Kahele,
or NJ. F. Prosser.
There is a possibility that w. II. Rice
will not accent nomination though IL
is generally believed that he will. There
is a probability that McPryde win not
accept a nomination for representative.
In that case Prosser will he nominated.
What is to be done as to a delegate
TO congress has not been included In
the plans of the promoters. But It is
understood that voters will be left free
! to make their choice among the candi=
dates nominated by other conventions.
