GREATLH EXAGGERATED. 3
Japanese Anti-Peace Demonstrations
 Overdrawn.

Yokohama, Sept. IT. Secretary oG War Taft and party sailed at 3 o'clock this afternoon for San Francisco on the steamer Korea amid Japanese en- thusiasm. A reception was given to Secretary Taft this afternoon at the American consulate by Yokohama rner- chants
 Before sailing. Secretary Taft said he thought that reports of the Japanese anti-peace demonstrations had been greatly exaggerated in America. He and his party had travelled all through Japan and had found no trace of any anti,foreign feeling. While prominent American persons had been involved in a Tokio mob, he thought that it was because the party was caught in the mob, and not because the persons were Americans. Other churches besides American churches had been burned. There was a special reason in each case but no general anti-foreign feeling was responsible
 Secretary Taft said that he had ex- anined the Chinese boycott closely. The Chinese, he said wanted American goods and having already lost $15,000,- 1 900 by the boycott were finding out that theey were cutting off their noses to spite their faces.

CANADIAN CRUISER
 HITS YANKEE TUG
THIRTY SHELLS TAKE EFFECT AND ALMOST SINK
 FISHERMEN.

Patrol Boat VigiIant Discovers Ameri-
 can POachcrs on Lake Erie and Live
 Iy Chase Ensues-The Tugs Powerful
 Engines Finally Carried Her Crew
 to Safety, But Not Without Consider
 able Loss and Damage-NIight Have
 Been Much Worse.
 Erie, Pa., Sept. 1.-The fourth of the fish tug incidents of the past week took place in mid-Lake Erie to-day when the Canadian cruiser Vigilant riddled the big steam tug Harry G. Barnhurst with small shells from the rife on the patrol boat.
 Captain Nick Easel, of the tug. ad- mitted after he escaped that the Vili- lant could have sent her to the bottom if Captain Dunn had so desired. They ran more than eight miles under full head of steam before they crossed the boundary line and escaped from the Canadians.
 More tlan thirty shots struck the vessel and of, these fifteen of the small shells landed with telling effect on the upper parts, so the boat careened to one side with the mass of wreckage when she came into port.
 Having been used formerly for a pleasure steamer the Barnhurst is of large size and well fitted with steam equipment. The fireman, Magnus John son, tainted in the hold from over ex- ertion in keeping the steamer going ahead. He was reported killed, but revived after reaching shore. The fish ermen were cut in the face by splinters shot away by the bullets
 The Barnhurst, according to Captain Easel, was about five miles over the line, drawing nets when the VigiIant appeared. The other Erie tugs, the AL ma, Valiant and the Boyd were also over the line, and ran away when the chase started.
 Captain Dunn ordered the Barnhurst to stop, but instead of doing So Cap tain Easel put on full steam and start ed for the line. He took a southwest eflN QtISGtloil anu GOulu IAUl DG 1Sct1Gu by the Vigilant. gs
 It has become quite the custom for the Erie fishermen to cross the line re- gardless of strict orders from the com panies employing them, and having ex- citing brushes with the Vigilant. They never think of surroundings when their is chance to run away. The Barn hurst lost a large quantity of nets.

HIS PLAN FOR WOMEN
Professor Armbruster of St. Louis Gives
 Them Some Points.

St. Louis, Sept 1.-The desire of women of the monied classes seems to be to get as much money as possible and then to go to hell as fast as they can with it," was the startling declara- tion of Professor William J. Armbrus- ter to an audience of St. Louis women gathered to consider the organization of a Womens business club.
 Professor Armbruster was on the programme for chemical experiments, but in his talk he touched the woman question. His words met with applause until he made the surprising assertion quoted, and then the women were so startled they sat still.
 There re exceptions, it is true. !" continued Professor Armbruster, ''and yet it seems strange to me that wealthy women who can do not do the noble work they could for the help of the world.
 ''The hope of the country lies in the middle classes. Some time shall give you my opinion of the ridiculous cus- toms of present-day society"

Nothing but Good Times fin Sight for

Cleveland, Sept. 17.-.I cannot see the slightest reason for predicting a financial crisis or hard times in the next few years" said John D. Roeke- feller to reporter. ''The statement which has been given publicity that I have made such prediction is abso- lutely erroneous.
 My firm belief in the conditions that now prevail in the country are quite the reverse. The country is too pros porous at present to warrant any fear that a sudden or disastrous revulsion of business is likely to occur. ]"

 Advanced Age.
 Boston, Sept 17.-The Herald to-mor- row will say:
 The ancient frigate Constitution, fa- millarly known as the first ship of the American navv," which has for years been one of the most valued pos sessions of the Charlestown navy yard, Is in danger of turning turtle," and it is learned that the good ship can not last many years in it's present state.
 The frigate is leaking badly, and the hold fills so rapidly that it is necessary to use power pump frequently. One of the attaches of the yard said to-day that the officials did not care to risk placing. the ship in dry dock to make repairs, as the vessel would crush with its own weight.

Burst of Strength Saves Riley From
 sDeath in Cog Wheel

Wilkesbarre, Penn, Sept. 17.-By a desperate burst of strength, which was as that of three or four men, seven- teen year old Francis Riley of Sugar Notch managed to save his life Satur- day. He was caught in the shaker chain of the Hadleigh collery while cleaning the machinery, and drawn to- ward a big cog wheel. Fellow workers tried in vain to pull him loose or to bar off the chain in the few briaf sec onds.
 Just as he was about to be ground to death on the big cog. wheel he brac- ed himself, seized the big chain with both hands and tore at it with super human strength. A link snapped, the chain broke and he was freed.

 New York, Sept. 17.-It is not irnprob- able that the admissions made under oath by George ". Perkins on Friday concerning contributions aggregatins nearly s150.OOO made to the national re- publican campaign funds on the joint authority of John T. Mccall and him- self acting for the New York Life Tn- surance company. may be made the basis for civil suit by the attorney general of the state to force restatu- ton to the polfcyholders of the sums SO contributed,
 On unimpe authority it may announced that the further prosecu- ton of the investigation by the Iegisla- tive committee during the coming week will be conducted with view to the probability of its forming the legal basis for such civil suits.
 A forthcoming phase of the Iegasa- tive insurance inquiry will be the in- Yestigation of alleged percentages Te- ceived by high insurance officials on business written, in addition to their salaries and fees Regarding the rumor that J. Pierpont Morgan may be called on to testify before the committee As Isemblyman Ezra F. Prentice, the sec- retary of the committee, said to-day: "The committee will have no hesitation | in calling MT.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-11-07

The Star has more than once
spoken Of the crude, archaic, IRA
tional, preposterous, and often
childish notions that so thoroughly
pervade quarantine regulations in
many parts OF the world, and no.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-11-07

aboard than cabin passengers are, see'
ing that if ashore they would walk the
same streets, ride in the same street
cars, visit the same places of interest
and amusement. But that is one of the
inscrutable things of quarantine regu-
lations.
On the other hand, while the presi-
dent of a bank or the minister of a
church, or leading lawyer or mer-
chant of Honolulu is not permitted on
the wharf even, much less on the YES
sci, half hundred stevedores, who live
in the very regions where contagion ex-
ists if it exists at all, are allowed all
over the wharf and on the vessel. They
undergo no process Of disinfection.
They come to the vessel from their
places of residence whether in Kakaako
or Iwilei or elsewhere, and go aboard
the vessel with the clothes they have
been wearing daily. When their work
is through they go where they list, to
be admitted in the same way on the
next steamer.
Could anything be more full of con-
tradictions or absurdities? The fault is
not with the quarantine officers or the
steamship companies here. What is
done, is done so that there shall not be
delay at the next port. But that neither
mitigates nor justif-s the absurdities.
1t simply proves the crudity and the
clumsiness of the regulations. The
quarantine regulations at the other end
will accept as safeguards such contra
dictiOns and anomalies as these. 1t will
not accept the evidence of health which
approved tests, readily applied, would
give by examination at the other end.
But will accept as guarantees a system
which needs only to be described to be
ridiculed.
We have much to learn in the matter
of quarantine from England where
quarantine, as We experience it, at
every port in America is unknown. Yet
exposed as England is above all others
because of the extent and ramifications
of her commerce, she suffers less than
any other from contagious disease
brought overseas.
What is needed is an entire recon-
struction of our quarantine system by
men brave enough to break entirely
with tradition and to construct in the
light of modern sanitary medicine.
1t is just possible that the suits for
damages brought by steerage passen-
gers against the Mongolia because re-
fused admittance to the vessel to con-
tinue the voyage after having come
ashore at this port may lead to a more
sensible system of quarantine. The
courts have more than once broken up
hoary absurdities. The United States
court in San Francisco a few years ago
stepped in and with an injunction
against the Board of Health of that city
saved the city and the State of Califor-
mia from very grievous injury.
