Two Thousand Three Hundred Jap.
anese Strikers Show Violent Mood
Had Made Long List Of demands
Which Were Rejected-Were Paid

Honolulu, May 22.-Most of the
white population at Lahaina, on the
island of Maui, including the militia,
are prisoners in the courthouse sur
rounded by Japanese laborers. One
Japanese was killed and two were
wounded by the plantation police dur
ing an attack on plantation mill.
The entire 23OO Japanese laborers
on the island are now on strike, and
are showing violent mood. The
steamer Kinau left Honolulu this af-
ternoon, taking national guard COM

manded by Captain Johnson, and 40
armed Honolulu police under High
Sheriff Henry, to the scene of the
trouble.
Outcome Of Strike.
The strike started week ago on
the Waikiki plantation on the other
side of Maui from Lahaina. The Jap
anese made long list of demands,
among them being the discharge of
the head overseer. All the demands
were rejected. On Friday the strike
spread to the Pioneer plantation. The
plantation Immediately began paying
off the striking Japanese, who then
commenced to stone the mill and re-
sisted all efforts of the mounted police
to drive them away. The Maui militia,

Clash With Authorities.
Everything was peaceful late Satur-

A wireless telegram from Lahania
at o'clock tonight said that the situa-

HOMES in OLD MISSION STYLE
A Renaissance Of Spanish Architec
ture In Southern California.


All who visited the Worlds Fair In
st. Louis were impressed with the
California section, which at previous
expeditions has been noticeable for its
architecture. 1t is a type distinctive
ly Californian, and the same idea has
been carried out in many of the prom
inent houses in this State. Whatever
may be said Of the architecture of this
part Of the country, says writer in
the Housekeeper, 1t is not common
place, as evidenced in the Spanish type
copied from the old Spanish missions.
To-day there is a Spanish renals-
sance which has been carried on with
such vigor that the architecture of
southern California is undoubtedly the
most characteristic of civilized Amer
lea.
Generally speaking, there are GER
tain characteristics common to all
these buildings. There is the tile roof,
the low, plastered, buff-colored walls,
the arched doorway, an arcade and
possibly belfry with bells in imita-
ton of the old missions.
The new houses, however, though
they are reminders Of early buildings,
are constructed more substantially
than the early missions. The modern
house. built in mission style, is gen.
orally Of wood, in rare cases Of brick.
II the house is of wood, there is an
outside protection of iron or lath,
which holds the plaster covering. This
last Is either rough or smooth, as taste
dictates. and left gray or tinted a pale
bun that contrasts tremendously with
the palms, vines and flowers.
Many Of the best Of these mission
style houses are built around courts
which contain palms, trees, ferns and
fountains. Sometimes this court is
rooted with glass and when the pill
lars to the arches Of the patio simulate
palms tapering to the top, the effect is
charming.
In Los Angeles, Pasadena, Riverside
and Santa Barbara the mission house
predominates and the overhanging
roofs Of modern red tiles, with the
creamy walls, cast shadows Of ex-
quisite softness of color. In particu-
lar Orange Grove avenue in Pasadena
has many fine houses in this style,
placed In green lawns, and they Gre
ate pretty picture with the purple
hills in the background.
