1t is charged by Hiromoto Fugt one +
of the leading members of the Japanese |
colony and editor of the Soko Shin
bum, that if it had not been for the
influence of japanese Consul Uyeno
and the pernicious activities of his
handy man, Goruko Ikeda, the secre-
tory of the Japanese Association of
America, there would be no opposition
among the Japanese of this city to the
segregation of the older children in
the Oriental school.
Consul Uyeno and Goruko Ikeda
worked up the agitation against the
Oriental school among the members of
the Japanese colony" declared Editor
Fugi yesterday. "The opposition to the
school received it's inspiration from
Consul Uyeno The Japanese think the
separation of the older japanese pupils
from the young American children is
perfectly proper, but they think that
Japanese children who have been born
in this country should be allowed to
attend the same schools as white chill
dren of the same ago go to. Consul
Uyeno has been the leader in talking
against the Oriental school, and Go
ruko Ikeda, who acts under the advice
of the Consul, has organized the move
ment against segregation"
Editor Fugi says that Uyeno is not
popular among the Japanese of this
city. He has held himself aloof from
his countrymen, refusing to mingle
with them socially, because be belongs

LEAVENWORTH, Kas., Dec 20
When officers at Fort LeavenwOrth read
of the attack in the Manila American
on Brigadier General Pershing, who, it
is charged, is the father of two chill
dren by Filipino woman it was as
serted that another step toward a gen
eral shakeup in the military service had
been taken.
The Manila correspondent is correct
regarding the fact that the charges which
have been drawn up will arrive in Wash
ington too late to be used against the
confirmation of Perslrng as brigadier gen
Grail Pershing was coniiremd just ten
days ago by the Senate. 1t is asserted
here also that General Pershing cannot
be brought to trial by court-martial eth
er, unless he asks for it. This, officers
here say confidently, Pershing will not do.
The alleged offense of which Pershing
is charged, which would come under the
head of conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman" was committed four
years ago. The statute of limitations for
concentrating an army officer applies
after two years from the date of an al
legged offense.
The Pershing affair has been quietly
talked of here for months. Naturally
the officers resent the jumping of man
over sos superior officers. 1t is asserted
here that the position of Pershing's ia
ther-in-law, Senator Warren of Wyo-
ming, on tire Senate military committee
aided in bringing to the notice of the Pre-
sident the field services of the captain
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-12-29

when on Moro service in the Philip
pines.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The publ
cation today of the charges against Cen
eral John j. Pershing was no surprise
TO the War Department which had been
warned that TREY were on the point OIL
leaking out. 1t is not probable that any
thing will be accomplished by them. Lad
they appeared ten days ago the confirma-
ton of General Pershing would undoubt-
edly have been delayed.
Among other things, it is said that
Pershing was so unpopular with his men
on his famous expedition into the Moro
country tlrat one night some of the sol
diers hung a pair of heavy wooden socks
on his tent, the implication being that he
had 'cold feet" and illustrated, togeth-
CT with the statement that some officers
and enlisted men had months before gone
without firing a shot into the very re-
zion in which Pershing had his bloody
battles, the kind of bitter gossip with
which the army has been RECALLED since it
was first rumored that Pershing would
be made u general.
1t is an interesting coincidence that
General pershing has just been ordered
back to the Philippines by way of Toxic
to command the Department of the Visa
vas, which is the neighboring department
TO that of Mindanao the headquarters
of which are Iomboanaga, at which Per
shing was stationed when the alleged of

NAVY HOSPITAL IN HONOLULU.

WASHINGTON, d. c., december II,
The following appears in the annual
report of the Surgeon General of the
Navy, relative to the naval station at
Honolulu:
''The present sick quarters are made
quate to the needs of the station, as pro-
vision is made for the care of serious
cases of illness among the naval person
mel at the civil hospital. The small dis
pensary suffices for emergency cases.
'The opening of a naval station at
Pearl Harbor will necessitate the build
ing of naval hospital there. A tract
of land near the Punchbowl, suggested
as a desirable location for such a hos
pital, has been inspected, but this loca-
ton is too remote if the site proposed
for the station at Pearl Harbor be
adopted"

that northward tendency soon enough,
and as the coast itself cuts into the
west up above the hill, the sea showed
up straight in front of us.

altitude never greater than 200 meters

farmhouse and let the balloon come down
near it. A good twenty wind at
the ground carried us along at such a
good rate that the anchor, which was

the valve and ripping off the safety strip

"A Mr.. Barry, a typical up-country

when daylight came we called down
and learned where we were. We had
kept such loose track of our direction
that it was just a question of knowing
how far we had gone. At the same time
it looked very much as if we would get

at a low elevation. This was one Of

the lower was west of north, which was
what we wanted We had turned more
