PEONAGE IN HAWAI-
The Federal officials Arc Proceeding
strongly Against the Tra ID In
Japanese Girls.

The federal authorities have begun
a war against peonage in the Hawaiian
islands, and Judge Estee and District
Attorney Breckons propose to break up
the practice which is SO prevalent among
the Japanese residents. Fifteen CT ~
Japanese have already been arrested
md are held under heavy bail awaiting
trial. The grand jury is now investigat-
ing the cases of these men and others,
indictments having been returned
against some of them, says q recent
Honolulu report
Slavery has existed among both Chi
nese and Japanese in the islands for
long time. The women who were held
in this worst kind of slavery were afraid
to testify against their masters, ana
they were bought and sold without the
slightest regard to the forms of Ameri-
CAN law. The Shareholders have had
regular organization, which employed
counsel at large monthly salary, and
as soon as one of their number became
involved in the meshes OF the law all
the others came to the rescue. The I'M
possibility of securing evidence against
the offenders made their prosecution inn
possible until recently some OF the Of
tenders were arrested and the slaves
turned over to the federal authorities
for safe keeping.
Not only has there been large amount
of traffic in Japanese girls, but also in
Chinese children, the Asiatics coun-
tinuing their observance Of the custom
prevailing in the old country for the
sale of their children. This practice
is also to be .broken UP.
So great has become the illegal traffic
in Japanese girls that the United States
immigration authorities have decided to
bar out geisha girls entirely. Another
restriction recently placed on the Jap
anese immigration was one requiring
Japanese girls to be married unless they
were able to show conclusively that they
came to Hawaii to live only an upright
life. The "Japs" managed to evade the
law for long time, the Japanese men
claiming to have married the women
in Japan. This finally was not consid-
cred sufficient, and the men met the
women at their arrival and swore that
they had been married by japanese
custom while the woman was still at her
old home and they we're in Hawaii. To
substantiate the claim the federal au-
thorities have recently been adopting
the practice of compelling second
marriage of the persons concerned on
their arrival here. There is now upon
the arrival of every oriental steamer a
wholesale wedding ceremony, at which
often Is and 20 couples are united in
marriage at the. same time. Then to
make the wedding complete success
the immigration men photograph each
bride and groom, SO that il they re-
quire evidence later of violation of the
law they have it at hand.

Press, that King Peter finds it hard to

1874 no ruler of Servia has worn one,

title of king. There is tradition that
a Servian ruler named Michael received
the crown and title from the pope so far
back as 1913, but the parsonage, who is

history, was Stephen Nemausha H.,
who was crowned by papal legatee In
1917, and in order to pacify his ortho-
dox subjects recrowned by his brother,
st. Sava, archbishop of Servia, in 1922.
On that occasion the crown was provid-
ed by the Byzantine emperor.
From that time the Seryian sovereign
bore the title of king, or ''kral," till, in
1916 Stephen Dushan was crowned at
Uskub as emperor Of Macedonia and
monarch of the Serbs, Greeks and Bull
garians." His son was also styled en-
peror, but the usurper Vukashin, who
murdered the latter, took the name OF
