PRESS COMMENT
ON AGITATION
Japanese Papers on Federation
of Labor Olive
Branch.

article in a local japanese paper, ad-
vocating japanese support Of the
American Federation Of Labor. the
question has called forth some COM
ment in the Hawaii Shimpo and the
Daily Chronicle, both Of which call
Mr.. Ishida's argument the silly tax
of an utter stranger TO local condl-
tons" Mr.. Ishida in his article urges
his countrymen to give support and
join the Federation and as his rea-
son. SAYS 1.-THE Iaboring men as a class
should realize their Identical interests
regardless of color, and the japanese
in Hawaii will gain a strong hold by
Joining the Federation" He says IN
his article that "the main reason we
are considered by the Federation as
their opponents is our cheap labor and
the low standard of living, thereby in
juring their position" IF" he says
eve see how the relation of the two
nations has been strained, TO our re-
gret. by the labor agitation, we ought
TO see the wisdom of joining the Fed
Grafton which is today a strong factor
in the politics of the United States.
He urges all japanese .laborers, skilled
or not. to adopt far-seeing policy ana
step forward to better their own con-
ditions"
The arguments used by the two OPP
ponent papers are somewhat alike.
The Shimpo says: What we were
afraid OF, after the enactment Of the
restriction law, was cut in the wages
of the plantation laborers. However,
it did not come. much to the credit for
the fair dealing of the planters. They
are showing good will in many respects
and our countrynen are satisfied on
the whole with the treatment they are
receiving. Peace and good will prevail !
between the capitalists and the labor
ers. Why. then, should we take
step likely to ruin such relation, at the
instigation of very suspicious rep
resentative of the Federation. The
so-caIied Federation has done enough
to ruin our prestige on the Coast, de-
prfved our brethren of their rights and
means. And now we join hands with
them and be brothers! We look on
this proposal as good joke on the
part of an unknown representative and |
a learned student from Michigan.

MELON FLY PARASITES
ARE BEING SOUGHT

The Advertiser is informed by Mr..
Giffard that efforts TO procure the
parasite of the melon fly for Hawaii
are proceeding but that il may be
months before the entomologists can
transfer them from Indias TO western
Australia, whence they will be brought
here. The process, unlike that which
attends the transfer Of lady bugs for
the destruction of scale. is a delicate
one, requiring the use or purchase OF
orchards en- route where the parasite
may procure its natural food, and the
elimination of secondary and even
tertiary parasites which prey upon the
enemy Of the melon fly itself IT all
goes well, Mr.. Giffard says, the condf-
lions for the rearing of melons and
cucumbers may be restored in Ha-
wall to what they used to be.
The impression held by some growers
that the melon fly is responsible for
the bIights that befall the mango and
coffee bean, does not appear to be
borne out by entomologists. The dis
eases referred to are of fungous origin

HAYWOOD IS TAKEN Ill
AND TRIAL GOES OVER
Seized With Toxic Poison

Boise Jail
RECOVERING RAPIDLY
Court to Resume Tomorrow
and Jury VIII Be Com
pleted During Day
RAPIDLY

BOISE, Idaho, June Am attack of
acute indigestion which rendered Hay
wood unable to be in court prevented
any session today. When court opened
az $3.50 O'clock this morning Judge
Wood announced that he had been in
formed that the defendant was unable
to appear and asked the lawyers if
they had any statement to make. Rich
ardson said that the courts inforlna-
;ton was correct. that Haywood was
suffering from toxic poisoning" but
that the attack was not serious and
that he would be able. to come into
court in the afternoon, possibly.
Richardson added that Haywood had
been taken i'll about o'clock this
morning and that he had suffered such
pain that the physician had given him
morphine to relieve him. The illness
had been brief and he was already re-
covered from it, but he still suffered
the effects of the morphine. Court ad-
Journed until 1870 o'clock this after
noon, at which time Richardson an
nounced that Haywood was still under
the influence of the drug But the de-
fendant would surely be in court Mon
day morning or tomorrow. said the at
torney, If the judge decided to hold a
had tried to dress, but had felt SO much
nausea and dizziness that he had gone
back to bed.
OF course. all sorts OF talk was afloat
in Boise about the case after this, and
there will be no surprise at any sort of
wild report that is sent out about Hay
woods Illness and its cause. The facts
arc as above stated.
Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone are

exactly the same food as that served
TO the sheriff and his family. They also
have liberty to send out and buy what
they want if they are not satisfied with
the table that the sheriff sets. AS a
matter Of fact, they have never made
any complaint about the food and have
only occasionally bought some fruit,
principally oranges.
Haywood is a strapping big man with
a proportionate appetite Until the
trial began he took good deal of ex-
ercise, walking in the jail yard, pitch
ing quoits and practicing calisthenics
in his cell, but since the trial opened he
has not had time for that and has let
1T go. His appetite has remained as
good as ever, with this unfortunate re-
suit Neither Meyer nor Pettibone, who
had the same food yesterday as Ray
wood, suffered any i'll effects in conse-
ouence.
Judge Wood and the lawyers for both
sides were disappointed at not being
able to complete the jury today. Court
adjourned until II o'clock on Monday
morning in order to enable the Judge
to adjourn the term of court which is
due to meet at idaho City at 10 o'clock
that morning.
After adjournment today the judge
told the lawyers that he expected them
to fill the jury box on Monday 'if it
takes till 10 o'clock that night

RAzoRhnss SHAVING
TonsOrial Artists AstOunded by Paste
 That Cleans on Boards

Scores of excited barbers forced their way into room at the Cannon Street hotel yesterday afternoon to witness an exhibition of razorless shaving. They were stirred into tense excitement by seeing delft operator remove a stubby three days growth with the edge of a match box.
 The razorless shaving exhibition was organized to show how by covering a beard of any age or growth with a paste made from the 'Razorless Shay ing Powder" it was possible to remove such beard with the blunt edge of a paper knife or other article. The paste, it was explained, makes the beard brittle, in which condition it can easily be broken off
 The six persons to be shaved mount ed the little platform and walked to their chairs with the gloomy, depress- ed air of condemned persons going to their execution. There were two men wearing neckerchiefs, who with weeks growth on their chins, had ap- parently been recruited from the street; there were also fair mus tached young clerk, two British work men, and a portly middle-aged man

ACKNOWLEDGMENT HEROES TABLET

Winsted, June 12.-Friday afternoon Green Woods chapter, D. A. R., will dedicate a boulder and tablet to the memory of the soldiers of the Revolu- tion whose graves have been identified and marked in the town. of Winchester. The opening exercises will be held in the First church at o'clock, when the state regent of the D. IA. R., will make a brief address. Unless the day proves stormy the historical address of great interest will be given out of doors on the lawn of the Center cemetery, where the tablet will be unveiled by children of the local c. A.

with bushy side wliskers, who looked the picture of a highly respectable butler.
 With solemn faces, the victims i flung their heads baA and had white cloths tucked under their chins.
 Cheer up," cried voices in the crowd. but not man smiled. The operator who had been mixing his paste in
 what looked like salad bowl, now
 came forward and lathered the men. His compositinn seemed creamy

 Anguished disappointment swept tho crowd when it was seen that the bushv side Whiskers of the portly butler
 were to be untouched. 'Be man. he was urged, but all in vain
 The lathered men lay back for ten minutes having their photographs taken and listening to banter. and then the operator with bone paper knife began to sorape the paste off the first victim The bristles came off
 with the paste. The man got up from his chair clean shaven, and the bar bers in the gathering were aghast. Then came the turn of the other men. They were shaved with the following articles: The back of lady's comb, a wooden salad spoon, shoe horn and matchbox.
 When the remnants of the paste had been washed off, the faces were
 free from the slightest suspicion of e beard. True, the process seemed rather lengthy and elaborate; true. one of the men mentioned that his face smarted little. But the results were indisputable.
 But now came the great test. A man with full beard mounted the plat form. A sudden hush fell on the gathering. The operator, shaving brush in hand, advanced toward him. Lavish plaster was administered, but to the one side of his face only. The past was allowed to remain on for ten minutes, and then the operator scraped 1t off. and the beard with it. The victim a little later stood up with full beard on one side of his face and smooth. clear skin on the other.
 The barbers in the gathering exan- ined the smooth cheek, and the more daring touched 1t with their fingerss and then, sadder and wiser men, they stole silently away.-London Cable to the Chicago Inter-O Ocean.

INCREASED EARNINGS. MANY IMPROVEMENTS. Volume of Traffic on Union Pacific System
 Swells.

Chicago. June 1s.--what the Union Pacific railroad has gained from the $1l0,000.000 spent on improvements in roadway, new equipment, new lines, terminal properties and other better ments, is shown in the traffic figures covering the seven years of Hartman administration from 1899 to 1906, in- elusive:
 1899. 1906 Tons of freight
 Passengers carried. 2,547,S9S 4,SOs.O84 By June 3Oth, when it is expected that its equipment orders will be filled, to handle an increase of traffic of 40 per cent. the Southern Pacific and Un- ion Pacific will have 60 per cent more car capacity, and 6S per cent more locomotive power. Taking a period of four years for comparison, the two systems have increased their cars 15 per cent, their double main track 214 per cent, and have added 1,10O miles of yard track and sidings. In these fours years the car mileage has in creased 16 per cent, and the train mile age 12 per cent.
 On the financial side of the compari- son between the Union Pacific railroad of 1899 and of to-day, the outstanding fact is that notwithstanding the vast outIays for betterments and invest ments, the fixed charges of the Union Pacific railroad per mile have increas- ed only $S25, while the surplus earn ings have increased $4,67S per mile.
