Both suspects are mature men. but
have at various times worked as mes

Los Angeles together before they came
to this city. The house where the
men were taken into custody by De-
tectives Ryan and O'Dowd is 1137A

ten days since the bank robbery the
men have been in hiding there. never

whites nre being driven out of Hawaii
and the Asiatics are succeeding. 1t is
struggle for survival, with the white
element slowly and steadily losing
ground. In mercantile grounds. In the
fields of labor and in small farming
alike the experience is the same.n
This observation. contained in bull
letin issued today by the Bureau of
Labor, summarizes the results of an
investigation of the DECENTRALIZATION OF
Hawaii. With the advantage of their
lower standard of living. and protected
from competition in their own class by
the Chinese exclusion law, the Japan
ese, according TO this report. have
secured a preponderance among the
plantation workers which creates Sc
renders plantations liable to great loss
by strikes and has to certain extent
taken out of the hands of overseors
and naanagers the control of the ad
ininistration. 3
The report shows that building work
done by Asiaties under white direction
is about IS per cent cheaper than that
done by white labor under white diree-
tion. Great bitterness is felt by the
white mechanic and small white mer-
chant at. their own displacement. This
has produced strong feeling that
white labor in this new territory
should be protected against the kind of
competition represented by the Asiat-
les. The Chinese being excluded. the
koreans. who have entered in consid
erable numbers during, the last five
years, are the only Asiatic rivals of the
japanese other than the Chinese already
residents in Hawaii.

DENICkE HELD FOR
MANsLAUGHTER.

Ernest II. Denicke, the son of Mil
lionaire L. A. Denicke. was yesterday
held for manslaughter for the killing
of an unknown man at the junction of
Battery. East and Lombard streets on
the afternoon of April 20. Judge Law
lor before whom the preliminary
examination was conducted, set. the bail
at. $4,000.
Judge Lawlor. discussed the details of
the shooting at some length and de-
clared that the defendant could find
no justification for the act committed,
either by virtue of Ibis -official char
acter as a member of the State Univcr-
sity Cadets or under the authority of
Mayor Schmitzs proclamation, of mar
tial law
In my judgment, neither in thought
nor deed was the deceased guilty of
anything which would justify the .ac-
ton of the defendant" declared Judge
Lawlor. Il am equally convinced that
there was nothing in the appearance
of what the unfortunate man did which
would justify the belief that he was
endeavoring to do anything other. than
to avoid the infliction of injury upon
himself. He was thoroughly fright
ened and terrorized and was simply
endeavoring to get away. This is so
clear from the evidence that the ac-
tion of the defendant is inexplicable
upon any rational theory of 5ustifica-
tion.
The act of shooting was undoubted-
ly done with deliberation and premedi-
tation. The defendant is quoted by
one of the witnesses as declaring that
he shot to kill

While the police will make an effort
to connect the suspects with all three
of the brutal murders which have. thus

the information at this stage would.
indicate that the prisoners were di :
rectly concerned in the robbery and
murder of Johannes Pfitzner.
Detectives o'Day and Ryan, who are
trying to weave web of evidence
about the suspects, say that the two
men under arrest, IL not the murderers
wanted, are desperate criminals.
.sFrom the present indications," said
Detective Ryan, cit would appear as II
these men were concerned in Pftzner's
murder. There is also evidence con-
meeting them with the other murders.
We have enough evidence in our pos
session to make us absolutely certain
that these men have been engaged in
wrongdoing, and that they have avoid

Today to Name a Com

Private detectives IN the employ Of
the leading business men. who are
preparing to form the citizens COM
mittee, are working in the Police De-
partment, securing evidence that will
be of aid to the committee of one
hundred that will be named today.
A great mass-meeting of the citi-
zens of San Francisco will take place
this afternoon on Union Square to
consider the naming of the commit
tee of one hundred. from which the
-e4eeutive committee will be chosen.
Encouraged by the offers of moral and
financial aid from the merchants and
industrial bodies of the city, a sys-
tematic campaign will be inaugurated
to clean up San Francisco.
Already the members are reported as
feeling the hand of Ruef in the for
nation OF the plans 1t is the feel
ing of more than one member of the
preliminary committee of five that has
been meeting from day to day that the
opposition that was made to resoIu-
tions calling for the cleansing of the
city came from men in the pay Of Ruef.
and preparations are being made to
thwart such influence in the great
meeting today.
The committee on chairman met yes
terday afternoon at the Merchants Ex-
change. and although several names
are mentioned. the most likely appears
to be Rudolph Spreckels. 1t is inti-
mated that it but remains for Mr.
Spreckels to signify his acceptance OF
the position. The other names con-
sidered are those of F. w. Dohrmann.
w. A. Doble. william Greer Harrison.
Raphael Weill H. Weinstock. Percy
Morgan and James D. Phelan- 1t is
probable that many of these will de-
cline through lack OF time to devote
TO the formation and work of the COM
mittee. The permanent chairman will
have the naming of the committee OF
one hundred. which will in turn name
the executive committee. and both
bodies VIII be busy night and day.
The committee on selection of chair
man will meet this morning at the Mer-
chants Exchange and II IS posi- BILE
that no report on a chairman will be
made. In that event list OF the fore

Miss 5MteMsl0naM,

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from we'll. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement OF the fe-
male organs which tnanifests itself in
depression of spirits. reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, f1ntulency, nery.
ousness, sleeplessness, or other afe-
male weakness. -. n Il.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or aserious
operation is the Inevitable result. e
The never. failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg

always desirable at that point. The
sleeves are quite novel with deep
cuffs that are tucked diagonally and
closed by means of ornamental but
tons and loops. In this case dark
red French flannel is stitched with
belding silk and made over the fitted
lining, but all the seasons waistings
are appropriate and the lining can be
used or omitted as individual prefer
ence may decide.
The waist consists of the lining,
which is closed at the centre front,
the plain back, the tucked fronts and
the yoke. The box plait is quite sep
arate and is attached to the right
front edge, the closing being made by
means of buttons and button-holes
worked through the centre. The
sleeves are the favorite ones of the
season that are full above the cuffs
and there is regulation stock at the
neck that can be worn with the little
embroidered turn over, as illustrated,
or left plain as preferred.

for the medium size is four yards

This latest variation of the corselet
skirt is an exceedingly attractive and
desirable one that is suited to great
many materials and great many
figures. In the illustration it is made
Of taffeta with trimming of banding
and is stitched with belding silk, but
it is quite appropriate for the favor

both white and colored, that is SO
general worn throughout the warm
weather. Again, it is adapted both
to the coat suit and to the separate
skirt that is to be worn with lingerie
blouses. The yoke effect is a novel
one and in addition to its attractive
ness gives needed strength to the up

plaits at the front give the long un-

The skirt is made in nine cores
and over the side and back cores the
yoke portions are applied, the lower
edges being trimmed with braid. The

Moors Take to Drink.

Liquor drinking is one of the re-
suits of Euopean penetration of MO-
rocco. The taste Of strong drink,
though still INDUCED comparatively
in secret, is steadily increasing, the
practice spreading from force OF
example among the Moors them
selves, as a result of the strenuous
efforts of foreigners to inculcate this
vice. And yet it is chiefly among the
higher and lower classes that the
victims are found, the former in.
dulging in the privacy of their own
homes, and the latter at the low
drinking dens kept by the scum OF
foreign settlers in the open ports.

The Words Of Eternal Life.

The history of the progress of
Christianity, which is frequently ap-
pealed to by those who advocate a
modern reconstruction of the bases
of belief, affords ample evidence that
much which is claimed as radical
change has simply been a change of
emphasis. BY this Christianity has
given proof that it is the only re-
ligion adequate for the needs of the
world" 1t cannot be too strongly
impressed upon the mind that a
change of emphasis does not imply
re-ststement of belief, but is simply
4 recognition OF a temporary need
for greater prominence to be given to
one or another aspect of an un-
changeable truth.-London Chris
