Copies of the third report of the Com
missioner of Labor on Hawaii, were
received here by the Alameda. The re-
port is based on materials collected by
DR.. Victor 5. Clark, who was here a
year ago and is largely written by him
1t is a volume of about 300 pages of
which about half is composed of sta
tistical tables. Among the interesting
things in the report is the folldR.ing,
on pages GO and following:
1T must be remembered that the
Planters Association includes a very
strong element composed of men who
are citizens of other countries than
America, who regard tropical countries
as colonial possessions to be exploited
for the benefit of citizens of the home
country. They have little appreciation
of the American spirit and little SYM
pathy with any effort to develop a dem
ocratic commonwealth i'm Hawaii-if
such development interferes with the
present system of sugar planting.
There are others interested in planta-
tion development who are of American
descent and even of American birth.
but whose long residence in the islands
has blunted their appreciation of fund
amental American political concep-
tions Their one demand is for legis-
lation that will assure them Chinese la
Dor, and at one stroke simplify plan
tation administration and increase pro-
fits. They are impatient of any view
point that would sacrifice in any de-
gree commercial interests to civic
| ideals. Both these groups regard such
a viewpoint as sentimental and conse-
quently indefensible. SO insistent have
! been the representatives of this ele-
| ment of the plantation interests for
| the admission of Chinese, that they
have seriously discussed the proposi-
tion that the Territory ask Congress to
diminish it's status as "A political COM
munity and change the islands from a

.SQUATTERS
IN KAKAAKO
SEVENTEEN FAMILIES OF HA-
WAIIANs WHO HAVE USURPED
A PRIVATE FISHERY.

Acting Governor Atkinson and Su-
perintendent of Public Works Holloway
had a meeting this morning with the
representatives of seventeen families
of Hawaiians who have "squatted" on
land in Kakaako and who were served
with notices of eviction at the instance
of Mrs. Ward owner of the property.
1t appears that the Hawaiians were
living principally by fishing in the pri-
vate fishing right adjoining the the
land. AS result, it was impossible to
lease the fishery.
The Hawaiians are all poor people
and arrangements are being made to
find them homes elsewhere. I'VE hope
to place them on lands in Kalihi where
they will be all right" said the Acting
Governor, land thus all parties will be
satisfied"
Aside from the fishery proposition
complaints were made that the colony
of squatters was "A somewhat noisy

CONTRACT
MARRIAGE
Good HERE
IMPORTANT RULING BY JUDGE
DOLE IN A PENDING BIGAMY
CASE

In the bigamy case of Dai Fook Tai,
United States Judge Dole has given a
ruling which means, it is stated, that
contract marriages are good in Ha-
wall. The ruling, aside from its gem
eral Importance, will have an important
effect on prosecutions in the federal
court under various statutes and Dis
trict Attorney Breckons asked that the
court give "a written opinion on the sub
ject. Dole's ruling was in part based
upon the Supreme court decision here
in the case of Godfrey VS. Rowland, and
he sustained the district attorneys
contention that common law marriages
here are valid,
The question was raised by ]. o.
Lightfoot in defense of Dai Fook Tai.
The first marriage alleged to have been
contracted by her here was according
to Chinese customs and ceremonies.
The second marriage was under the
provisions of the statutes of Hawaii.
Lightfoot objected to testimony to
prove the first ceremony on the ground
that 1t was not valid ceremony and
as the whole charge of bigamy prac-
| tically depended upon whether both
marriages were valid olles-aside from
the bigamous nature of the second one
the jury was excused while the ques-
| tlon was argued.
The courts ruling was in favor Of the
validity of the first marriage. Though
1t was not performed in accordance
with the laws of the Territory and
was without either a license, minister
or other requisites OF the laws here, 1t
was a complete marriage within the
! common law, and the judge held that
proof of 1t was allowable.
BreclSons proceeded to introduce Chi
nese testimony as to the ceremony.
I witnesses were called to show the
usual Chinese rites Of ancestor-worship
making of gifts, etc, and the court Is
expected to instruct the jury that these
various ceremonies, followed by the
couple living as husband and wife,
make the marriage valid, even though
! it was not a legal marriage ceremony
! according to law here. Dai Fook Tais
second marriage, it is alleged, was In
the regular way provided by Hawaiian
I statutes.

Fish
Attack Boat
SEARCH LIGHT ON CLAUDINE
CAUSES THEM TO FLY UP ON
THE TOP BRIDGE.

A school of flying fish attacked the
steamer Claudine last Monday morning
in the Hawaii channel. The vessel was
crossing in the early morning She
was throwing her searchlight. The
light evidently attracted and scared the
fish, for suddenly a swarm of them
rose out of the water and flew over the
bow of the vessel.
1t seemed as II silver cloud was
rising from the sea. One very largt
fish measuring twelve inches in length
flew square against the searchlight,
broke the glass, and put the machine
out of commission.

reverse Of those sought by existing in
dustries
There are now very few in the ISL
ands who seriously entertain the hope
of securing the admission of Chinese
coolies to the Territory of Hawaii Any
proposal to admit Chinese without re-
stricting them to agriculture labor and
domestic service would arouse the unit
ed opposition of all the interests in the
islands other than the plantation inter-
ests; and the only basis on which plan
tation interests could hope to secure
the support of the mercantile and the
labor interests of the islands was the
plan to admit Chinese coolies, restrict
ing them by law to field labor and do
mestic service, and making expulsion
from the islands the penalty for any at
tempt to go into other lines of work
than these. For a long time a large
element of the plantation interests seri-
ously believed that this provision to
create what was practically a servile
stat usfor the Chinese would commend
the proposal to the opposition, both in
the islands and on the mainland. But
within the past year very direct and
forceful expressions of views with re-
gard to this proposition from authOri-
tative sources have forced upon Hawaii
"a realization of the futility of any
hope that an American Congress could
be induced to pass law creating on
American territory a status of legalized
servllity.
THE BOARD OF IMMIGRATION.
"As a result, all the elements of the
plantation interests have agreed to CO.
operate with the other interests of the
islands in a strong effort to induce
white immigration into the Territory.
The Federal immigration laws against
assisted immigration have heretofore
seemed to stand i'm the way of success
full efforts by individuals or corpora
tions to stimulate white immigrat ton to
Hawaii To obviate this difficulty, the
legislature in April, 1906 passed an act
creating an local board of immigra-
ton for the Territory. Under this act
a board has recently been organized
and has been assured both of the moral
and financial support for the Territory.
1t is yet too early to judge what policy
the board will adopt i'm carrying out it's
objects, or how successful it will be in
accomplishing them.
THE Ostensible and doubtless the pri-
mary purpose of the immigration board
is to promote white settlement in the
Territory, especially from the Azores
and those countries of southern Europe
likely to supply labor that can compete
successfully with the Japanese"

RAW AND REFINED SUGAR.

NEW YORK, May 12-Dun's Review
says: Nothing new has developed in
the sugar markets, prices ruling quiet
and steady, with little interest among
purchasers. Some weakness in tone
abroad had rejection here, holders ac-
cepting somewhat lower bids. Cuban
sugars were offered to arrive next
month but found few bidders. The
Withdrawals of refined continue mod

business is noted"
