Main Body Troops Back
From Strike
Center.

This day may be full OF eNehtiui
history at Lahaina, for more than two
thousand japanese laborers from the
Wailuku and Lahaina plantations, in
Guiding the Kaanapali camp men. all
of whom participated in the recent
strike have signified their intention of
being present at the unveiling OF a
monument over the grave of the Jap
anese who was shot and killed in the
riot last week Saturday night. This in
itself may not seem so important, but
coupled with the fact that one of the
wounded Japanese is reported to be
fatally injured and may die by today,
is believed by some of those who re-
turned Yesterday from Lahaina to Of
fer an opportunity for more rioting.
The main cause of the strike, the
head luna has been discharged from
the service of the plantation, and was
fined in the Maui court for brutality
but even so. the patriotic spirit of the
Japanese laborers may be reused
again today over the ceremonies at
tendant upon the erection of the monu-
ment
There is also another feature which
brings the dead man more prominent
ly to the fore in the present crisis He
was one of the japanese reservists and
was shortly to leave for japan to en-
ter the army. Should there be any
considerable drinking today among
those celebrating the raising of the
monument more trouble may occur. 1t
was for this reason that half of the
Honolulu police force was left behind
to keep an eye on the situation. The
force is in charge of Captain Kanae
and Lieuts. Hart and Luahiwa.
ONE SOLDIER WOUNDED.
The only casualty during the recent
outing of the National Guardsmen at
L.ahaina. was that occurring to private
Guy Livingstone of the Signal Corps
Guy was wounded by the Colts auto
matte rapid-fire gun, and now wears
his stockinged left foot in a Chinese
sandal. Guy mounted a horse to watch
some wigwagging of the signal-corps,
when the horse SHE'D and ran into the
gun. Guys left foot was damned
against a wheel and therefore he is
considered a wounded man, froia a
military standpoint.
WOULDN'T SHAVE SAM
Captain Sam Johnson of Company
'-F'' had an amusing experience IN a
Japanese barber shop He went in, sat
down in the chair and the Japanese
started in to shave him. During this
operation the Jap's eyes travelled from
the face of the doughty warrior to a
picture on the wall which showed Sam
Johnson an aide to Prince Fushimi
When half through the shave. the bar
Der became nervous, and then said he
would not finish the shave for Cap
tain Sam" was a Russian. The cap
tain, however, showed that a Russian
in Hawaii was equal to at least one
Japanese and by threats induced the
man to finish the shave.
RETURN OF TROOPS"
The Kinau arrived yesterday fore
noon from Lahaina bringing back High
Sheriff Henry and sixteen foot and
mounted police, Captain Johnson and
Company Fl" and Lieut. Dougherty
