States outside OF Hawaii. Such emigra-
ton as hus lately occurred is attributed
to the competition OF the two great
Japanese emigration societies. and lab
orers are said to have been deluded
with stories of untold opportunities for
work at great wages.
The Japanese Governments action is
based on a desire to protect its people.
L. is said. however, that the govern
ment would never contemplate with
equaninity legislation by the United
States directed exclusively against
japanese immigration and such dis
elimination would certainly have most
disastrous effects upon the large and
growing trade between the United
States and Japan.
The position OF the Japanese Govern
ment upon that point is that the Japa-
nese emigrart is not for moment to
be ciassed with the Chinese coolie. and
IS. in fact, of better character and more
desirable than large number of the
Immigrants that reach the United
states from Europe. while as to mum
bers 1t is asserted that the entire Japa-
nese immigration into tile United
States appears inconsequential when
compared with the figures showing the
immigration of laborers of like class at
the Atlantic seaports.

A BEATING CASE WITH A
SEQUEL.
Police Cannot Find the Victim After
Two Days Search-Judge Wilcox
Suspects Foul Play.

The police have been looking for two
days for the woman Keali, whose hus-
band Kaleihope, is charged with having
cruelty beaten her. She appeared IN
court twice, showing the marks of Sc
we're handling, and the case was post
poned. Three days ago she disappeared
and all the efforts of the police to locate
her have so far failed. The husband
was in court this morning again, and
said that he did not know where the
woman was. He has been out on bail
since his arrest. Judge Wilcox refused
to strike the case from the calendar,
intimating that the case had a very
serious aspect, and telling the defen-
dant that he would not be given liberty
till his wife came into court again, and
asked for withdrawal of the case.
There's a garment with lot of blood
on it, and the last time the police saw
the woman she was badly hurt" said
the Judge, land / do not think 1 should
be justified in dropping the case for
want of prosecution. The case is very
suspicious looking, and should be well
investigated. The defendant tells diff
ferent stories about where his wife is,
and the police can't find her. She may
have been murdered or spirited away.
She must come into court and ask that
the charge be dropped before 1 strike it
from the calendar"
! Kaleihope is big, strong native, who,
according to the one witness who has
been heard in the case, struck his wife
several times because she was not
cooking the way he liked her to. Then
she ran out of the house, with him after
her. When the case was first called she
appeared in court with her face much
swollen and bruised, both her eyes be-
| ing nearly closed. She has not been
| seen for three days now, unless by the
defendant, who said yesterday that she
| had gone fishing, today that she had
| gone to court, and then that he didn't
know where she was. The police Will
| try to find her, in order to have her
! testify tomorrow.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth says
! that this was the most brutal case of
wife beating that has been on the rec
| ords for a long time.

THREATENED GOLD EXODUS
DANGER AvERTED BY REDUCTION
OF EXCHANGE.
Due to the New Postal Regulations Re-
garding Postoffice Money Orders
Hongkong Rates Have Stiffened.

The reduction in rates of exchange
which have just been posted by the
banks of the city was caused by a
threatened exodus of gold, due to new
postal regulations.
Under the regulations of the United
States postal department when money
orders are purchased here payable on
the Mainland, the postoffice sacks up
the gold it receives and ships it to the
Coast to meet its own orders. AS the
money order rates were considerably
lower than the former bank rates, the
exodus of gold from the Islands has
already begun in considerable quanti-
ties. If it continued, the banks would
shortly be under the necessity of i'm
porting gold, and importing gold costs
money.
AS a measure to keep the gold from
going out of the country, the banks
yesterday reduced their rate of ex-
change to meet the postoffice money or
der rate. The new rate is thirty cents
a hundred dollars for sight drafts on
San Francisco; fifteen cents for fifty
dollars and less. Exchange on San
Francisco at thirty days, is sold at par,
New York and foreign exchange is now
sold at fifty cents hundred dollars.
Owing to the war in China, Hongkong
exchange has stiffened considerably. A
short time ago exchange for 100 Hong
kong dollars could be purchased for
$4S. .25. Now it costs $50.

EODTMA HAS DISAPPEARED OMORM SCHOOL AGAIN PLAY ADANfRB CAMEL
A BOY JUST OUT is SENT BACK
AGAIN.
Came out Worse Than He Went in,
Says His Mother-Wants to be a
Wharf Rat.

Little Paakaula, nine years old, re-
form school graduate after a course OF
one year, was sent back to the school
this morning by Judge Wilcox, for the
Offense legally known as disobedience
to the lawful commands of his parents
or guardians. Paakaula is another
youngster with an ambition to live as a
wharf rat. He was captured this morn
ing by Big jim" the water front po-
liceman, and his mother appeared in
court to testify to his unruly disposi-
ton.
The mother said that she could do
nothing with Paakaula. When he ought
to have been at school he was on the
water front, waiting for steamers TO
come in, so that he might swim out to
meet them and dive for nickels and
dimes thrown by the passengers. For a
week past he had not been at home,
and now that schools have closed he is
giving all his time to the wharf rat
business. Paakaula doesn't want to
learn anything, and the mother could
not convince him that it was any good
to learn.
The reform school was suggested by
Judge Wilcox, but the mother said he
had been there a year already. He
came out worse than he went in" she
said. She had nothing to suggest, and
the judge sent the boy back to the re-
form school. 1T won't do him any
good, 1 suppose" said the judge, in CIV
ing the sentence, but it's the only thing
to do. Six months in the reform
school,"
Young Paakaula will spend six
months with the collection of young
sters in the reform school, and then he
Will come out and be a wharf rat again
until he is caught once more.
