pIcKErs HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE

For Violating an Injunction in a Strike
Case Court Is Emphatic.
New York, Dec. 29.-Vice Chancellor
Pitney has denied an appeal for mercy
in Jersey City for the strikers Of the
Frank & Dugan silk mill in Paterson,
including two men and six girls who
were found guilty of contempt of court
by him in the summer Of 1901. The
contempt lay in the disregard Of the
courts injunction forbidding the strik-
ers from interfering with the employees
of Frank & Dugan, or to make it I'M
comfortable for those who desired to
work.
The case was carried to the court
of appeals and to the United States
supreme court, which held that it had
no jurisdiction. An appeal was then
made unsuccessfully to the court of
pardons The defendants also were
ordered by the chancery court to pay
costs amounting to $740. The court
reiterated with emphasis that it is IL
legal to make it uncomfortable" for
anybody who wishes to work. THAT

HE DEMANDS MORE SALARY
Chicago Jurtst Who Sues the the County |
Board to Compel the Payment of
$4,000 More Year.

$4,000 More Year.
Chicago, Dee. 29.-On the ground
that he is entitled to salary of $1O.-
OO0 a year and has received but 1000,
Judge Willard NJ McEwen has filed
petitions in the circuit court for writ
of mandamus to compel the county
board to increase his salary $4,000
year and pay to him whatever may be
due as the result of failure to pay
him more than $1,000 year. Judge
McEwen sets forth in his petition that
he was elected to the superior bench
in November, 1902, to fill vacancy
caused by the resignation of Judge
Sears. His term expires in December,
1905.
A law which became operative July
1, 1901, it is charged, increased the
salaries Of the judges from $1,000 to
$4,000 year. Judge McEwen AYERS
that the county board is charged by
law with the duty Of making appro-
priation for the salaries of the sew
eral judges of the superior court to
make up the difference between the
$500 paid out Of the state treasury
and the total salary provided by law
to be paid to the judges.

WHERE THE UNION IS SUSTAINED

aid Ha. Lost Their Jobs.
New York, Dee. 29.-Justice Leven-
tritt, i'll the supreme court, denied the
applications of Louis Quanchi and
Charles Bales, respectively foreman
and assistant foreman of the stereotyp.
ing department of the New York Her.
aid, for a permanent injunction re-
straining the New York Stereotypers'
union No. 1 from interfering in any
way with their employment on The
Herald or from securing their dis.
charge, or from preventing the mem
bers of the defendant organization from
working for The Herald. The plaintiffs,
who have been employees of The Herald
for nearly thirty years, also asked the
court to issue an order restoring them
to membership in the defendant I'M
ion.
A stereotyper named Freel was dis
charged from The Herald, and he
made charges to the union against
Quanchi and Bales as responsible for
his discharge, the result being that
both were dismissed from the union.
The Stereotypers' organization then
notified The Herald, according to the
plaintiffs, that unless Quanchi and
Bales were discharged heuniOn would
withdraw it's men from The Herald.
The Herald refused to discharge its
foreman and his assistant, but con-
scented to- suspend them under salary
until after the courts had passed upon
the merits of the case.
The court holds that the mems rela-
tons with the union make them amen
able to the rules of that organization.
and that the court cannot interfere,
and suggests that the plaintiffs can
appeal to the general body with which
their local union is affiliated, which
had been held to be condition pre-
cedent to the right of maintaining an
action to invoke the aid Of the court of
equity.

SPORTS FOR

Water Carnival Is
Suggested for
One Event.

Sports for the sailors and marines
of the American fleet due here this
week from Yokohama, are being formu-
lated by the men who have taken the
matter in hand under the auspices OF
the Merchants Association. No iaii-
mite plan has been decided upon as
much depends upon a meeting to be
held with Admiral Cooper on his ar
rival
1t is hoped to have few games of
baseball under the auspices of the
League and also a football game or
two under the direction of the Foot
ball League. With nominal admls-
sion to such games there is a prospect
Of heavy attendance on all occasions,
and it has been suggested also that a
certain amount of the proceeds go to
the winners and losers alike.
one of the principal events to be held
while the entire fleet is here is to have
water carnival on a Saturday after
noon, at which time it is believed that
nearly all of Honolulu can be present
There would be an advantage to the
men of the fleet in water sports as all
men aboard the vessels could see the
races.
The committee hopes to enlist the aid
of the Healani and Myrtle boat clubs
In, ha and have each
club enter a six and four-oared sliding
seat boat for a race over the usual
course. This has been suggested early
as it would give both clubs short
time in which to get their crews in
training.
1t is expected that each warship will
enter a twelve-oared barge for a gem
eral race, with two Hawaiian crews
added in local barges. Honolulu would,
under the circumstances, witness a
water spectacle which it has not seen
for nearly fourteen years. This race
would be around the bell-buoy and
back into the harbor.
Other races in contemplation are an
Admirals barge race and Captains gig
race which could not fail of interest
throughout the fleet.
The Hawaii Yacht Club will be asked
to participate with as many yachts as
can be put into commission and if pos
sible to pull off some races. The Hea-
lani and Myrtle boat clubs, 1t is be-
lieved, would keep open house on Re-
gatta Day and decorate the houses in
true regatta style.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
SHOOTING AFFAIR

There is mystery connected with the
.,hooting of All Chan, a Chinese, by
Matsumoto, a Japanese, which occur
red yesterday about noon. The two
men were taken to the police station,
the Japanese being held to await the
result of the wound inflicted on the
Chinese. A Chinese named Koon
Chong Is held as a witness, he claim
ing that he had seen the Japanese
level a revolver-a 22-caliber gun-at
All Chan, and fire it.
All Chan was passing by Matsumo-
to's room when the revolver was fired,
or went off, and he felt the impact Of
a bullet under his left arm. Matsu-
mot, claims that he was at that time
removing some clothing from his trunk
in which he also kept a revolver. He
claims the revolver fell upon the floor
and was accidentally discharged, the
bullet going through the open door of
his room and striking All Chan. He
claims he did not know that the Chi
nese was struck, and All Chan did not
know at first what had struck him,
and certainly was unaware that Mat
sumoto was the cause.
Koon Chong went to the police sta
ton and told the police that he had
seen Matsumoto point the gun at All
Chan and fire it, DIR, Emerson probed
for the bullet but failed to locate it.
He does not think any serious trouble
will result, as the wound is only flesh
wound. The affair is being thorough

MEASURE FATAL
TO LABOR SUPPLY

Some of the sugar planters are
alarmed at an immigration bill now
before Congress. which is being pro-
noted by mainland labor organiza-
lions. 1t is believed that its passage
would have a blighting effect on the
sugar industry OF this Territory.
The particular thing that is feared
is provision to exclude all immi-
grants who cannot read and write the
respective languages of the countries
from which they have emgrated.
This, it is said. would practically rule
out the only presently available supply
of labor for Hawaiian sugar cane plan
tations. The proportion of Aslarcs,
others than Chirese already absolute
ly excluded, coming here to work in
the fields who can read and write their
own langueges is placed as low as ten
per cent or ever less.
An effort will be made. II II is not
already on foot, TO obtain the combined
influence Of the commercial bodies of
Honolulu for eNertion against the
threatened measure in Washington.
