beautiful autumn foliage, which is
hardly to be surpassed in any country.
We next travelled over the we'll beat
en- tourist routes and enjoyed all we
saw. particularly the beautiful scenery
through which we were continually
passing.
I'VE had the advantage of seeing
Fujiyama from every side. At Kobe
we took the steamer through the In
land Sea for Nagasaki.
Those who coal boats here would be
much interested to see the passing of
coal to steamers by six hundred or
more women. They generally do the
work with small buckets, which are
passed from hand to hand, stages be-
ing built along the side of the steamer
for that purpose. r.
THE trip to Shanghai across the Yell
low Sea was exceedingly pleasant, but
we were somewhat surprised when the
steamer had to anchor at the mouth If
the river, and we were compelled to
make the trip of fifteen miles in a
lighter In order to reach the city. We
met quite number of former Honolulu
people who had taken up their resi-
dence in this interesting city. Leaving
Shanghai Monday. we arrived at Hong
kong on Wednesday evening and from
there we went to Canton and Macao.
We were somewhat disappointed not to
be able to meet out former townsman,
Mr. Along, as he was out of the city,
at his country residence. but we had
the pleasure of meeting his son who
does business In Hongkong.
ION account of a combination of cir

from here to Honolulu and give up the
further journey, we had planned.

in Japan of the possibilities of war

expected war to come at any moment.

ment was concerned, not made public,
lectures. The consensus of opinion of
those who seemed to understand the
situation was that there was likely to
be no war, while several people we met
on the steamer, expected to hear that
war had been declared upon their ar
rival in Honolulu. You of course had
later news than we on the America
Maru. Our return trip on the America
Maru was a very pleasant one"

Joe FINN ATTEMPTS
TO MURDER HUGH
ROONEY IN THE DARK

Joe Finn. a hackdriver on the Union
street stand, made a dastardly at
tempt at 9:45 o'clock last night on
Union street, to assassinate Hugh Roo
ney, driver of hack No. ii. The at
tempt ended only in the wounding OF
Rooney, who received a bullet in his
left arm, shattering one of the bones,
and another in his back, making
deep. painful flesh wound. third
ball grazed his right forearm making
only a scratch. That Rooney was not
killed outrightfis due to the fact that
the bullets first penetrated the back
of the front seat in which he was
driving at the time.
The would-be murderer escaped af-
ter emptying his Ss-caliber revolver
running up Union street into Garden
Lane and thence to Beretania street
where his movements were lost sight
of. The police scattered over the city
last night, searched his house and
called at all the places he has been
in the habit of visiting.
There seems to be woman in the
case, although the wounded man dis
claims the impeachment A woman
was in Rooney's hack at the time or the
shooting. She was picked up in the
street after the shooting, and carried
to DR.. Days office, where it was found
she had not been wounded, but had re-
ceived a blow on the head when she
fell to the ground.
ROONEY ATTACKED SUDDENLY.
Rooney left the stand on Union
street about $3.50 with woman pas
I'D 20 min q q
before ten. There were three or four
hacks standing there at the time. Roo
ney drove up the street and as he was
turning in to his place on the end Of
the line opposite the door of Guy
Owens shop, a man walked between
two hacks into the street, and fired
point blank at Rooney.
The man stood near the left hind
wheel and fired five times in quick
succession. Rooney gave gasp and
the reins slipped from mis- hands. The
horse reared and then plunged forward
on a run down Union street. At the
first shot, the woman passenger at
tempted to leave the hack, and in do
ing SO p.-nsed to the ground, falling
on her head. The horse ran some dis
lance and was caught.
The assassin turned up Union street,
breaking into a run, and disappeared
Ip Garden lane. He was recognized
by several men about the stands, but
during the excitement no one thought
to pursue him. The sight Of a man
armed with a revolver, who had al
ready fired into defenseless man, held
the crowd back.
Rooney was picked up and a physi-
clan sent for. The patrol wagon was
also sent for and he was taken at
once to the Queens hospital where his
wounds were dressed by the hospital
surgeon.
WOMAN DISAPPEARS.
The woman was picked up and sent
to DR.. Days Office in a hack. The
crowd believed she had been shot.
The woman revived quickly and left
the doctors Office before the police ar
rived to learn her story. Her identity
is known in part. as she wears a breast
pin with the name Mary Ann" en-
blaZoned thereon. Whoever she is, 1t
is believed she had nothing whatever
to do with the shooting.

RooNEY's STATEMENT.

Hugh Rooney when questioned by de-
tectives McDuflie and Renear ut the
hospital, said:
ooh, let the matter drop: / don't
want to do anything about 1t. 1 don't
know what Finn did it for. He was
the man who shot me all right, and he
came UP behind me while 1 was turn
ing in onto the stand and fired at me
without saying a word or giving me a
warning. We weren't exactly friends
but we hadn't quarrelled enough for n
man to sneak up on me and try to kill
me as he did.
"The woman in my hack had nothing
to do with it. She was just a passenger
and was going to drop her off at the
stand She wasn't connected with the
matter at ALL
Rooney refused to give the woman's
name, saying that 1t was not ncces-
sary to bring her into the matter.
FINN LAY IN WAIT.
Jerry Rooney, brother of the wound
ed man, told the detectives and the Ad-
vertiser man present at the hospital,
that Finn had evidently been lying in
wait for his brother. He had not been
driving his hack yesterday and hung
around the stand after Hugh Rooney
went out about $3.50. He.was seen to go
between two hacks as Hugh's hack
came up Union street and the first
thing the other hackmen saw was Finn
in the act of emptying his revolver at
Hugh Rooney.
Finn had been doing some hard talk
against Hugh" said Jerry, 'and was
around the stand with a knife up his
sleeve. l am sure he had it all planned
to get rid of Hugh once and for all
time"
FINN OUT OF UNION.
On Friday a meeting of the Hack
mems Union was held at which it was
proposed to drop Finn from member
ship. A vote was taken and Finn was
voted out of the organization. IS the
Finn brothers and the Rooney brothers
are respectively on the two stands on
Union street. each having a separate
telephone, there is believed to have
been bad blood between the hackmen.
Joe Finn did not drive yesterday but
INDUCED in whisky to some extent dur
ing the day. 1t is said>th the Rooneys
naturally voted against Finn and
SnlartlnS unuer tnlS FINN Is believed
to have sought revenge under cover of
darkness by killing Rooney.
Finn came here about a year ago
from the mainland. He has not the APP
pearance of bad man." but it is said
on one or two previous occasions he
has flourished a revolver before people
with whom he has quarrelled.
RIDDLED BACK REST.
The back of the front seat of
Rooney's hack-No. 11-presents an in
teresting appearance. One bullet went
through the wood and leather padding.
and is probably the one which lodged
in the drivers left forearam. About
the center of the rest two bullet holes
show close together One of these
struck Rooney in the small of the back,
tearing the flesh deeply. Another bull
let was imbedded in the back of the
seat.
The wounded man will not be con-
fined to the hospital very long. His
left arm is in splints and can be carried
in sling. He should be out in a day
or two.

STEAMER NEEDED
FOR TRANSPORTS

Officers of the America Maru expect
ed to be called upon to convert that
vessel into a transport when at Yoko-
hama. The Japanese government 1t
was reported, had intended to take two
of the Maru steamers for war purposes,
and the failure to do so on this last
trip Is attributed by the officers to the
growing belief that Japan does not
seriously contemplate war.
