DR.. SUNS WIFE
WILL co TO
JAPAN

Willing to brave the possibilities Of
capture and the consequent certainty
of imprisonment and execution by the
Chinese Government, the mother and
wife of DR.. Sun Vat Sen, the famous
Chinese revolutionist born in Homo
Japan, and eventually they will join
Dr. Sun somewhere in the Far East.
Mrs. Ahmi and her daughter-in-law
arrived from their home in Maui this
lulu have been the guests Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chang Kim, Kauluwela. Both
ladies have been residents of Maui for
many years and have lived in COM
parative seclusion and quiet. When
they We're preparing to leave their
home there, little concerning their fu-
ture movements was divulged, but the
intensity of feeling shown at the mo-
ment of parting indicated that their
departure meant a long absence from
their old home.
AS nearest of kin to the famous rev.
olutionist. the mother and wife know
that the Government of China watches
| every move they make, and should an
| opportunity offer to seize them, it
would be taken advantage of, for there
| is price on the head of DR.. Sun and
members of his family, as there is for
the head of Leung Chi Tso, another
reform leader.
On leaving Maui, expressions of
grief of those who were bidding Mrs.
Ahmi and family goodbye indicated
that they were not only going to Ho
nolulu, but possibly were about to en-
bark on voyage fraught with grave
dangers to themselves. Mrs. Ahmi is
a woman of strong character and of
high birth, having the small feet of
the class in China which regards foot
binding as sign of breeding
The two women, and possibly other
younger members of the revolution
lists family, will remain in Honolulu
until the latter part of the month or
early in January, when they expect to
leave for Japan. DR.. Sun maintains
headquarters in Japanese city, and
there they will be taken care of and
guarded as zealously as the person of
the doctor is wherever he goes. If
DR.. Sun is now in the Straits Settle
ments, the women will eventually leave
for some port there, where they will
be met by the revolutionists.
For nearly sixteen years Mrs. Sun
Vat Sen has resided in the Hawaiian
Islands, and the only times she sees
, her husband are during his infrequent
, visits here. The last time he was in
!. Honolulu was in 1904, just after the
: Supao incident of Shanghai, when DIR.
, Sun gave many interviews on the rev.
! dictionary movement in China. He
has a son about sixteen years of age,
who now attends st. Louis College,
and two daughters. The daughters
) may accompany their mother and
grandmother to Japan, but the son
will continue his schooling here.
: Since the death of the former EN-
} peror and the Empress Dowager, lit
, tie information has reached the revo-
: lutionist sympathizers in Hawaii from
DR.. Sun as to plans for the future, but
the fact that DR.. Suns relatives are
/ to visit him may mean that he will
} be a very busy leader in a short time.
The revolutionary movement in the
| north and center of China is said to
be growing.
The present boycott by China
against everything having any connec-
ton with the Japanese flag, whether
ii be merchandise or steamships, was
; due to DIR. Sun. The Tatsu Maru, a
| Japanese steamer seized at Macao re-
Gently by the Chinese authorities at
l Macao. was laden with arms and am
3 munition for DR.. Sun and his revolu'
tionists.
e DIR. Sun Vat Sen was not only born
a in Honolulu, but educated here at 10
: lani College. He is regarded among
Y Young Chinese here as a model OF fhe
e progressive. modern Chinese, after
whom they could well pattern thei'
own lives. Iolani College has grad',
ated many Chinese who have BECOME
prominently identified with the All
