On the Norfolk express which

MNMH 70 &MH HAWAII BM THE 0ED THE MILITARY BNED NEGROES LEAVE MIN FAVOR tMB
QUIT WORK ON sPRECKELsvILLE
PLANTATION.
Say That the Japs Prosecuted Them
Until They Determined to Leave For
Honolulu.

Evidently there is a great deal of
bad feeling between the negroes and
Japanese on the Spreckelsville Planta-
ton. No less than 80 negroes arrived
here on the kinau Saturday because of
disagreeable conditions which had
arisen on the Maui plantation. The
crowd came originally from Alabama
and were brought here some several
months ago by the City of Peking.
While waiting in Honolulu for one of
the island steamers to take them over
to Maui a colored preacher who had
accompanied the crowd tried to elope
with one of the young women. They
We're finally located and made to go
with the crowd.
For a time the crowd seemed 10 fare
very well on Maui. They proved good
field workers but apparently some of
them could not control their evil de-
sires, for one night one of the crowd
waylaid a Japanese and attempted to
hold him up. The black man had
| reckoned without his host, however,
| and instead of the Jap cringing and
surrendering his cash. the little brown
man proved to be a doughty wrestler,
and within half minute was astride
the highwayman's neck After giving
! the negro a good drubbing the Jap per-
mitted him to depart.
This seemed to arouse the enmity of
/ the Japs and they never lost an op-
| portunity, so it was said, of showing
| their resentment toward the colored
! people. The Japs also learned of the
negro weakness, for soon stories began
! to reach the manager that the negroes
were committing depredations on hen
| roosts and flching various articles
! The laps tried to make it appear that
| the negroes were doing the stealing
| Manager Lowrie it is said singled out
! two of the negroes whom he told he
! could not employ them any longer. He
, was willing to allow the rest to work
The negroes discussed the matter but
inasmuch as the Japanese seemed tc
! entertain such resentment against then
that their further career would not be
| pleasant the ccrowd decided to leave
| the plantation.
In speaking of the matter the negroes
claimed that the pilfiring was not done
! by them. They asserted that If any
stealing was done the Porto Ricans
were guilty and not they. The crowC
did not express any resentment ovel
| their treatment at the hands of Man
| ager LOwrie, as he had told all but tw,
! that they could work, provided they
were Wiling to take the consequences
| Evidentlyethe crowd did not care t,
| run the risk of trouble with the Jap
for they determined to come to Homo
lulu.
This version of the occurrence wa
given by the negroes after they reach
ed port. Evidently there is somethin,
else behind the affair, which they di,
not make clear. They all said tina
they had no complaint to make abou
the wages or the work.

WRIGHT TALKS FINANCE
TREASURER WARNS EXECUTIVE
OF CRISIS.
Running Behind at Rate of 80 900 a
Month and Treasury viii Soon be
Empty-Other Matters.

Treasurer Wright this morning sub
mitted another alarming report be-
fore the executive meeting in regard
to the financial condition of the gov
ernment. The treasury balance is now
$146, 6,S01.22 against $751; ,314.54 a month
ago. Receipts for the month of May
were $117,017.75. Mr.. Wrights estimates
receipts between now and November
at $4,000, and states that expenditures
must necessarily be about $3.50 900 a
month. At this rate the treasury will
be empty in, two or three months more.
There was discussion of the situation,
as revealed by the report, but nothing
was done in regard to 1t.
On recommendation OF Sheriff Bald
win, the Maui Drug Company, of Wal
luku, was granted liquor license on
the same line as the one given to the
Moana hotel in Waikiki. The license
is wanted for y hotel.

APPROPRIATION FOR SHOW AT
CHARLESTON.
The Senate Receives Some Committee
Reports and Gets Through n Little
Work.

Quite a number of reports, most IF
them on routine matters, were read in
the Senate this morning The first of
Importance was the report of. the Edu-
cation Committee in favor of an anUro-
priation of 81, 100 for sending the
Buffalo exhibition to Charleston in No
vember.
Senator Baldwin moved to adopt the
report and was seconded by Crabbe.
Russell, Kalauokalani, John r. Brown
and others supported the motion. The
report was adopted.
Cecil Brown, for the Judiciary Com
mittee, renorted on the message of
Acting Governor Cooper regarding a
public loan. The committee believed
that the authority to borrow, if not
actually repealed by the Organic Act
was certainly so by implication. 1t
was recommended that an item of
$799 900 be inserted in the Appropria-
tion bill, which would legalize a loan
for that amount. The report will be
translated printed and considered.
Mr.. Baldwin made the following re-
port:
Item 513 which reads One Half Ex-
penses and Freight, Entomologist
$1,000 is the same as the item in the
last Appropriation Bill entitled Incl
dentals and Travelling Expenses Ento-
mologist. $1,000
"All the other items referred to your
committee, eXcep+ item No. 500, are
items which have been heretofore in
the Appropriation Bill Jumped under
the heading of Forests and Nurseries
General Your committee consider II
preferable to have everything under
this general appropriation itemized, as
has been done in the present bill
Item No 500 Competitive Exhibi
I tions of Fruit, Vegetables, plants, etc.
$1,000. The plan is to get up a public
exhibition here of fruits, vegetables
and plants of the country, and we rec
Ommend the passage of the same anC
! also all the items referred to your com.
mittee. The sum total asked for is
less than was asked for under the las
| appropriation.

of Forestry to extend tree culture il

| mittee hardly approve Of"

ONLY A POSSESSION" OF THE
UNITED STATES.
Territories Not Necessarily Under the
American Constitution Says the Ma
tional Supreme Court.

The transport Lawton on Sunday
brought news of a forthcoming decision
by the United States Supreme Court to
the effect that the constitution does not
follow the flag. 1t is stated by some
attorneys that under this decision it is
possible for the American Congress to
impose tariffs between an American
territory and a state, and under this
idea there is no legal obstacle in the
way of tariffs between Hawaii and the
mainland, small as the prospect of such
tariffs is. The decision is of far reach
ing effect on the standing of territories,
The following dispatch tells as much
of the decision as has become public:
CHICAGO, May PA special to the
Record Herald from Washington says:
1.-The decision of the Supreme Court
is that the Constitution does not follow
the flag.
This decision, the most important
| that great tribunal has ever made, will
be handed down next Monday. The de-
cision is in favor of the Government,
but by divided bench. There will be
at least five individual opinions, but
some of these are concurring opinions,
expressing the views of the writer's
more fully and particularly than is done
in the opinion of the majority.
THE Court goes back to the period
in which the Republic was formed and
the Constitution framed, and endeavors
to ascertain what was the intent of the
founders of the Nation.
The opinion of the majority of the
Court disposes of the uniform taxation
clause of the Constitution as follows:
The trainers of the Constitution, IN
writing that clause, had no thought jbi
it's application to territorial possessions
No such question as is now presented
had arisen in their minds
The clause, all duties, imposts an6
excises shall be uniform throughout the
United States, the courts holds, was
placed in the Constitution as a result
of the jealousies of the States which
united in forming the Nation. 1t was
intended to prevent any State or com.
binatiOn of States securing advantage
over another or others; to prevent the
ports of one State gaining preference
over those of another in the importa.
tion of goods.
This rule of uniformity was made
promarily for the States united the
court holds not for territories ther
possessed or afterward acquired, anC
the Constitutional requirement is salts
fled as long as all duties on imports ar,
uniformly imposed at all the ports
throughout the United States. The ad
vantage of this uniformity may be ex
tended to territories and possession.
not States and not members of tn,
American Union, but that is for Con
gress to determine under the authorit,
of the Constitution"
