RIOT AMONG KOREANS
At PA|A SUPPRESSED

MAUI, June 3.-Durlng the past week
Paia plantation has had some trouble
with Its Koreans, though the difficulty
l. now happily settled and all the Ia
borers have to work except four of
the leaders who are in Jail awaiting
further trial.
1t seems that the eighty Koreans at
Paia had grievance against their
chief luna, Kim, fellow countryman.
saturday night last, they took him
oy force, and locked him up in the
camp where one after another, so II Is
reported, took turns in maltreating him.
He was rescued at length by manager
ID. c. Lindsay who placed him for
safety in a house where Hoomalu. n
luna, resided.
sunday afternoon, the Koreans gath
cred before Hoomalu's residence de-
handing that Kim should be deliver
ed to them or otherwise they would at
tack the house. Then il was that Mr..
Lindsay summoned Deputy Sheriff
Morton and the police, who took him
In charge and secretly placed him in
the plantation hospital, where he re-
manned receiving some attention for
his many bruises.
On Monday afternoon the Paia Ko-
reans were paid off and another gang
OF eighty Koreans from Kailua march,
ed to Paia on n sympathetic strike.
The same afternoon, Deputy Sheriff
Morton and five policemen arrested
-FOUR of the leaders OF the Paia strikers
and quickly placed them in two hacks.
but while they were driving away the
crowd threw sticks and stones at the
carriages. The police then sprang
from the vehicles, mounted their
horses and, armed with black-snake
whips (Which however they did not
use) hustled the rioting Koreans down
the road TO the Spreckelsville boundary
line
That night all the Koreans returned
to Paia in twos and threes and begged
TO be taken back to work, stating that
the plantation had always used them
wen ana that they We're repentant of
their bad behaviour So all Is serene
again In the Korean colonies both at
Paia and Kailua.
The police were successful I'm placing
the four leaders in jail and on Friday
they were tried for assault before Mag
istrate Chas. Copp of Makawao but
the case was continued until next
week.
