NEW JAPANESE PAPER
HAS BROAD POLICY

The first number Of the Japanese
Hawaii Jiyu Shinbun TO be published
under the editorship of S. Sheba was
issued yesterday. Editorially, in Eng
raison d'etre for the appearance in
Honolulu of new japanese daily,
which is that the japanese, wishful of
becoming Americanized, might have an
organ. The Jiyu Shinbun sees the
foundation among the Hawaiian Japa-
nese Of an ideal community if proper
ly directed and to direct them, by ex-
planning the local laws and the policies
of the rulers, by bringing out an un-
derstanding of what Americanism
means, by cultivating a better feeling
between the japanese and the Amer
leans and by combating the designs of
labor agitators, is to be its policy. The
paper announces itself clearly as a
supporter of Consul Saito, who has
been chosen for his knowledge Of
affairs and skill in diplomacy to be the
guide and protector of his people and
1.-The best mediator between the laborer
and his employer" Editor Sheba sum-
marizes his policy as follows:
Our object then is to uphold the
dignity of the representatives of the
home government, to promote harmony
the people, to assist in the
development of the islands and to
make the laws and the spirit of the
laws clear, so that observing them the
Japanese may be welcome guests of
this country and good citizens if they
mean to remain here"

FACT THAT MAY
SIGNIFY MUCH
Continued from Page one,.

| Continued from Page Cne).
Mr.. shingle, from whom the fact
above stated regarding the two cable
grams to Washington was not obtain
ed, stated last night that no cable
grams on the subject had been re-
| ceived here since Saturday.
| Mr.. Atkinson, who went home early
yesterday on account of a slight cold,
| could not be reached on the wire last
night.
A good deal is made by the afternoon
papers of the arrival or cablegram
yesterday for District Attorney Brec-
kons, who is absent at Hilo. 1t was
stated that there was no deniap' of
the report about town that this cable
gram contained notice of the accep-
lance by the Treasury Department Of
the withdrawal of the Mahuka site,
with advice to Breckons to proceed no
further with his investigation of title
of that property.
Like as not, though, If a dispatch of
the tenor indicated has arrived, it may
only mean the formal acknowledgment
of the withdrawal in question, dictat-
ed some days ago AMI delayed on the
Treasury files and in transmission.
There is no feverish rush in selecting
the site in Washington and possibly
the Treasury clerks are as fond of Sat
urday afternoon baseball as anybody
else.
There have been lots of cablegramst
on the subject sent to washington since
that of the Mahuka site withdrawal
and not one of them but had a note
of urgency for a reply in them which
that zone likely did not have. Yet the
wires are silent for anything in this
direction except for this single, and
probably slow routine, dispatch to the
United States attorney, the contents of
which, moreover, may have been in
correctly reported.
H. e. Cooper, representative Of the
Irwin site, has received no recent ad
vices from Washington. This fact also
has its significance with the rest of the
known facts,
In all probability none of the lead
ing sites in the game are as yet either
definitely out of it or finally in it,

Charles M. Sehwab has tired of his
SO, 100000 castle, which covers the en-
tire block on Riverside drive, between
Seventy third and Seventy-fourth
Streets, in New York, and is willing to
sell the structure at a sacrifice. The
property has been put in the hands OF
brokers, and while no definite price
has been set, it is understood that 1t
can be purchased for a million less
than it cost. Before the house had been
completed it began to wear on the
owners nerves, strikes and disputes
about building expenses causing an
noyance and delay. The land on which
the house stands cost the steel mag
nate $500, 900, the building of steel, mar
BILE, and stone cost $1,000, 900, the outlay
for the interior work totaled $1,000, 600
and the furnishings cost an additional
s200, 900.

PLAYS ON SUNDAY
New York Aldermen Pass Ordi- nance That Will Permit
 Them.
MAYOR EXPECTED ID SIGN
Theaters Will All Probably be Open Next Sunday--Churches
 Object.

New York, Dec. 1.-The board of al- dermen to-day passed an ordinance which will permit Sunday theatrical exhibitions, with certain features com mon to week day shows eliminated. Mayor Mcclellan, it is expected, will sign it not later than Friday, thus making possible resumption next Sunday of practically the old order of things existing prior to Supreme Court Justice O'Gormans interpretation of the Sunday closing law. Since the courts decision, New Workers have ex- perienced two "blue" Sundays, and the action of the aldermen to-day was a result of protests on the part of amusement promoters and a popular plea for more liberal Sunday laws.
 Objection to to-days ordinance was voiced by some church organizations, though in several instances men prominent in religious affairs express ed the feeling that the present laws were unfairly restrictive.
 The "Doulr ordinance. as it is known, after prohibiting nearly every imaginable form of public entertain ment, contains the following quallh- cation:
 Provided. however. that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit at any such place or places on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, sacred or educational vocal or Instrumental concerts, lee- lures, addresses. recitations and sing ing provided that the above mentioned entertainments shall be given in such manner as not to disturb the public peace, or amount to a serious inter- ruption of the repose and religious lib- erty of the community"

SCARCITY OF PARTRIDGEs.
Ernest Hubbard, of Middletown, Dis
 covers Tapewor1ns in Birds.

Hartford, Dec. 17.-Ernest Hub bard, of Middletown, attended the meeting of the fish and game commits sion in the capitol to-day. He ex- hibited several tapeworms taken from the bodies of cartridges which he had shot during the season of 1907. The worms were preserved in alcohol in a phial, and were from two to three inches in length each.
 The remarkable scarcity of par tridges this year has made many sportsmen throughout the state inves- tigate the matter in the hope of dis covering the cause. Mir. Hubbard shot twenty-nine cartridges this year and dissected each one in the hope of dis covering the cause of the mortality among the birds He found the tape worms in the region of the intestines. A physician to whom he showed the worms said tthat each was large enough to kill bird in few hours. MT. Hubbard said he noticed that as the cold weather approached the birds he shot and dissected did not have the worm, He found none in woodcock, though he dissected quite number of them,
 The commissioners promised MT. Hubbard to cooperate with him in every possible way to discover the cause of the scarcity of cartridges this year.

GOVERNOR TALKS FARMING
Addresses State Agricultural Board on
 Immigration Problem,

Hartford, Dec. 17.-Immigration and it's effect upon the farming industry of this country was one of the interesting subjects touched upon at the annual mid-winter session here to-day of the Connecticut board of agriculture. Gov. Woodruff in his address, dwelt upon the tendency of laborers coming into this country to swarm in the great eenters of population instead of going into pastoral pursuits.
 He suggested as a fruitful topic for discussion among the agriculturists of the state this winter the subject of how to distribute this alien labor so that the demands of the farm may be in a measure supplied. He also advo- cated bringing under one central head all of the agricultural organizations of Connecticut,
 Orson S. Wood, master of the state grange, made pointed allusion to the immigration problem in the course of his talk on "The American Farmer as Citizen" He said the immigrants would rather live in cliques in the big cities than go out on the farms in twos and threes; they would rather dig sewers in Hartford than to come under the fine influences of country life.
 He said the farmer was not as inde- pendent to-day as he was fifty years ago. He is closer in ways and thoughts to the great business centers, but he 1s talist.
 Col. J. B. Walker of Kentucky, who was to make an address, was unable to be present owing to an accident, and J. Dwight Funk of Illinois. another of the speakers, was also absent. The session will be continued this after noon and evening and through Thurs
