The Hawaii Shimpo publishes the
following letter from its special cor
respondent in Vancouver. The state
ment that the Canadian Government
has Cancelled its order refusing admis-
sion 10 Japanese unprotided with pass
ports for Canada direct, and the frank
admission that most of the Japanese
sought Vancouver in order to slip
across the line, are interesting. The
Shimpo correspondent says:
The man who agitated the trouble
here is now in the insane asylum, be-
ing adjudged insane. The Canadian
Government has been very vigorous in
suppresSing the riotous spirit and an
act was passed fixing the sentence at
seven years Imprisonment for such
agitators, and although there is some
little such spirit yet prevailing, yet
there is no fear of it breaking out
again as it did. The Canadian Gov
eminent had also announced. that it
will not admit any Japanese not hav-
ing a passport from the Japanese Gov
eminent for Canada The japanese
Consulate has protested against the
order OF the Gdnduldrl NJONSA1lIIASitl
garding this and it has been Cancelled,
instructions having been sent to that
effect to the immigration officials.
During last year large amount of
capital was invested in different indus
tries near the cities of Vancouver and
Seattle and an overproduction resulted.
AS a consequence the price of lumber
has gone down and many japanese
have been discharged from the lumber
mills. about eight hundred being out
of employment here. The business de-
preston is more keenly felt now than
at any time recently. The future or
these laborers is in doubt When good
times prevailed they were getting S1.6O

told them he had been indicted for an
act alleged to have been committed
February J., which he said. to them
was the day he was at their house, and
that they thus remembered and fixed
the date.
The other point on which Judge Per
ry dwelt was the alibi for Amia Liilii
which was based on the testimony OF
two women who say she was at the
house of one of them, distant from the
defendant 5 house, for some of the
hours during which it is alleged she
was at the house of the defendant. One
of these witnesses fixed the day by rea-
son of the fact that her husband is a
Chinaman, and that this was Chinese
New Years, and the other by reason
of the fact that it was the day before
her child, born February 8, was blessed
by the Mormon elders, which was the
thirteenth
This evidence, Judge Perry claimed,
established an alibi for both the man
and the woman.
J. J. Dunno for the government
pointed ont the weak places, as he
viewed them, in these alibis, and urged
the overwhelming evidence of other
witnesses, and what he claimed was the
evidence of error and falsehood on the
part of the witnesses testifying in be
helf of the defense
The jury stood for a long time nine
to three in favor of conviction but final
" the three were won over, and the
jury was unanimous.
In Judge Dole's charge to the jury
there was very much that was inter
esting aside from its relation TO the
ease at lbar. He began by saying:
1T is not a pleasant task to try
charges under the Edmunds Act. The
United States Government has adopted
the policy of prosecuting crimes
against the marriage status and other
offe es under the act, which are car
ried on conspicuousIy, as it were. be-
fore the community, and it is the duty
of the court, of which the jury is an
important part. to try such cases as
carefully as any other. and fairly te
beth sides. The following are the gem

fact that, under her present schedule,

all of the merchants receive .consign-

known as the christmas trade" and
II is generally desirable to receive the

The situation at the Pacific Coast
Naval stations and yards is such that
some means must be found to secure
