PARKER THEIR CHOICE.

PARKER THEIR CHOICE.
o By a majority so large as to com
q pletely overshadow the minority, the
democrats of New York have declared
themselves in favor of Judge Alton B
Parker as the presidential nominee OF
\ their party and instructed their dele.
,e cation to the st. Louis convention to
u vote for him as a unit. The name
Of Hearst does not appear to have been
i ever mentioned, a fact that is sur
h prising to the rest of the country,
u for it was thought that the yellow
Z peril possessed a strength in Tam
j, many that would make this impossible.
Vi 1t was Tammany against the rest of
y the state, a fight that has often been
z waged.
Hill apparently is supreme once
u more in the democratic councils of the
Empire state and Boss Murphy has
been given his quietus so far as state
politics is concerned. In the victory
that he knew would he his. the up-

concluding his report Chief Bond

In concluding his report Chief Bond
says:
81 would most respectfully call your
attention to the necessity of an or
dinance governing the wiring of build
ings, as there are numbers OF buildings
where the wires are not more than
10 or IL feet from the ground; some
instances in the business district.
There will have to be purchased this
spring 1000 feet of hose, as the street
department will require about 800 feet
during the next year.
I'm conclusion l would extend my
heartfelt thanks to his honor, the
mayor, the members of the fire COM
mittee and the city council for their
courtesy and kindness to the fire de-
partment. l wish also to commend
the officers and members of the Nav
erick Hose company for the way in
which they have held up the reputation
OF this organization as fire fighters,
as l believe this seasons work will
show a smaller loss for the same rum-
Der Of fires than any city or town in

who has been occupying his mind with
the problem of how best to enable pas
sengers to enter and leave express
trains travelling at fun speed. thus
avoiding the delaying of stopping. has
at last hit on a plan which is engaging
the attention of the Prussian railway
authorities.
He has constructed an electric car
riage which stands on a siding. When
the express passes at full speed on
the main line the passengers for the ex-
press are in this carriage. AS soon
as the express passes, Mares carriage
starts in pursuit and as it runs at a
higher speed 1t soon catches the ex-
press Graphing irons are then
thrown out of Mares carriage and at
tached and passengers are exchanged.
Experiments have shown that train
can be caught, twenty passengers dis
charged, and the electric car backed
up again to the station, discharging its
passengers, all within eight minutes.

ers. There was also said to be a gam
bling game run under the protection o.
the luna, within the camp, and the
Japs said they We're losing on these
propositions.
Manager Ahrens appears to be gem
orally regarded in a friendly way by
the Japs. The strikers declared that
they had nothing against him, but that
they would not stand for the luna. The
luna most objected to has resigned and
it was supposed that this would settle
the strike, but the japanese next de-
manded another luna's removal. saying
that he had used violence on them.
All is quiet at the plantation, and as
three-quarters Of the strikers are I'M
willing strikers who were coerced into
standing in, the strike will soon break
down, il is expected, even if the leaders
still insist on their new demands.
The strike leaders scared servants
and hackdrivers at Waipahu into re-
fusing work for the plantation manager
and employees still on duty. A hack
driver who was asked to take one of the
latter as a fare, refused, giving as an
excuse that his horse was too much
tired" but the real reason was that he
feared to seem to be opposing the strik-
eFs.

fore United States Commissioner Judd
this morning The woman in question
is one Kima, an attractive looking Jap
anese. Her violation in love affairs Of
the first rule of honest crookedness in
politics was shown by her refusal to
stay bought after she had been the sub
ject of the following bill of sale:
For and in consideration of 1915 paid

When Kitazaki found that Higuchi

getting a gun and going for Higuchi,

tazaki had a sudden revival of conjugal
affection which ran the price up to $135
and Higuchi refused to pay. Kima
said she was willing She knew Hi
guchi was an honest Woodworking man
with a steady job.
KitazaH then heard that Sakamoto
was in the field as an admirer of Kima,
and he raised the price again. 1t was
placed at $l75 and Sakamoto paid over
the coin and took Kima.
After several months Kima decided
to leave, bought or no bought, and she
did so, taking belongings with her. On
the stand this morning she claimed
that she had been taken by Sakamoto
as cook and that he had paid the $175
for her services for three years. It
appeared from questions put by United
States District Attorney Breckons
however, that she had not done the
cooking, and that she had been re-
garded by Sakamoto as his wife.
COMMISSIONS Judd held Sakamoto
and Kitazaki in bonds of $1,000 and IIa-
ma in bonds of $500 to answer at the
next term of court for conspiracy to
violate a federal statute.

GAMBLING CAUSED THE STRIKE
JAPANESE OBJECTED RAFFLEs TO BE CON
A PLANTATION LUNA
RESIGNS AND REsIGNA-


Waipahu remained in a state of siege
all day yesterday and last night. Edi-
tor Shiozawa of the Hawaii Shinpo
went to the plantation from Honolulu
to assist in the negotiations, but the
strikers made some new demands after
an agreement had been reached, and
the settlement was delayed. The
strike was very complete one, all the
1,6OO Japs on the plantation joining in,
though majority were forced to do so.
Even the hackmen and servants quit
work.
"Of the sixteen hundred japanese
who went on the strike" said Shioza-
wa, Il think only about quarter want
ed the strike. The rest were forced into
it. A little delay therefore will quickly
weaken the strike, though it may be ex-
pensive to the plantation"
Gambling games and raffles under the
protection of head luna Patterson are
what some of the strike leaders gave
as their reasons for starting the strike
1t is claimed that the luna in question
has been running raffles of cheap
watches, putting up articles which cost
TWO or three dollars for $50 or more and
inducing the Japs to buy tickets. Those
who didn't buy found themselves dis
charged soon after, said the strike lead

MAKES CoONs WHITE.

PHILADELPHIA, April 24.-Dr:
Thomas r. Eldridge for several months
has been making experiments, the aim
of which has been to transform negroes
into whites. There was fire at the
surgeons establishment this morning
and the apparatus with which the eX-
peTiments were being CARED on was
destroyed Eldridge was doing the
bleaching by throwing an X-ray light
through radium, thus destroying the
cOloring pigment of the skin. Several
negroes who underwent treatment are
now partly white.
With the destruction of the electri-
cal appliances the work of completing
the transformation is halted. The pa
tents are therefore, left in a state of
what might be termed "derma tological
suspense" 1t will be several months
before a duplicate apparatus can be
built. Meantime Eldridge does not
think that the whitened parts of the
negroes skin will become black

THE POLICE WE'RE ASLEEP.

SPOKANE, (Wash), April 25.--Twelve
revolvers We're stolen from the Spokane
Police Station last night and the de-
partment is the butt of much ridicule
today in consequence. The revolvers
taken from prisoners, together with
other weapons, are stored in a show
case in the chiefs room, on the second
floor of the City Hall. To enter the
room the thief would be compelled to
pass through the main room of the
station, pass the sergeants desk and
climb a flight of stairs in plain view OF
the half dozen officers always about the
station.
