XXI SAYS he SHOT
YEE IN SELF DEFENSE

Ki, the Korean who was arrested a
few nights ago for shooting another
Korean named Yee Sing, stated to Chief
Of Detectives Kalakiela last evening
that he shot Yee Sing in self defense,
claiming that Yee tried to kill him with
a butcher knife. The knife was found
in front of Mr.. Denison s house the
following morning, where the shooting
occurred.
"Pity for my child caused me to
search for the place where Yee Sing
had hid my wife from me-" said Ki.
~ followed him all around town that
night, not wishing to harm him, but to
find where he was keeping my wife. "
He admitted that he had revolver,
but was unused to such implements of
warfare. When the two men came to-
gether at the corner of Wilder avenue
and Makiki street, they had long con-
versation, Yee admitting that he was
living with Ki's wife. Yee pulled a
butcher knife when the argument be
came heated and made a slash at Ki,
and at that time Ki pulled the revolver
and fred at Yee.

|SO| AND HIS
WIFE ARRESTED
Two Charges Already Against
Them---Widespread
Conspiracy.

Warrants were issued yesterday
which seem to indicate that a wide
spread conspiracy has been discovered,
comparable to the Ten Dollar Club of
six or seven years ago. The criminal
acts which the investigation of United
States District Attorney Breckons seem
to have unearthed are the importation,
on quite an extensive scale, of Japa-
nese women for immoral purposes.
IsOi, who figured quite Importantly
in the Ten Dollar Club cases, and late
ly in the matter of a loan to Sheriff
Iaukea, and his wife Chlse are be-
lieved to be at the head of the combi-
nation to carry on this unlawful busi-
ness, and warrants for their arrest
on two separate charges of this of
fense were issued yesterday by United
States Commissioner Kingsbury,on com
plants sworn to by United States Dis
trict Attorney Breckons.
The two were arrested on the first
warrant and were released on bonds
furnished by Y. Amin and Kawamodo
in the sum of $1,000. Later the other
warrants were issued and they were
arrested a second time and released
again on bonds in the same amount
signed by two japanese.
Ohiro, a japanese man, was also ar
rested in connection with one of the
same cases.
In the two charges on which Isoi and
his wife have been arrested it is
stated that the cwo japanese women
whom they are charged with importing
were taken by Chise, Isoi's wife, to
Hilo to carry on their immoral trade
there. One of them, Miyo Nakamura,
has told the authorities about the
whole matter. She was brought here,
and was married to japanese man
at the Immigrant Station. He at once
disappeared and the woman entered a
life of prostitution on the prompting
of Isoi and his wife. Though she made
considerable money, it practically all
went to Isoi and his wife.

WORTH MOST
ON SCRAP PILE
Yacht Hawaii Would Not Sell
for Enough to Clear Her
of $4,000 Debt.

eff the yacht Hawaii were to be
broken up, she would be worth several
thousand dollars for old metal, but |
doubt if anyone would buy her for
that price as a yacht said w. H. Me
Inerny yesterday, discussing the sought
for disposition of the racing craft that
,IAe0st somewhere in the twenty thousands
and which is ballasted now with a debt
of three thousand. Mr.. McInerny went
further in one stage of the discussion
and gave as his opinion that the yacht
could not find buyer willing to take
her over for the amount of the balance
due on her, except as scrap.
Al have nothing to do with the plan
of asking the contributors to the yacht
fund to transfer their share in the
yacht to the Hawaii Yacht Club" he
said. "All 1 know is that the yacht
is in the keeping of three of us, and
that besides the thousand dollars we
each advanced for the race, all the cost
of her upkeep now falls on us person
ally. 1 think the plan proposed now,
however, is the best one. As things
are, each contributor holds receipt for
money donated to the yacht fund, but
no one actually owns any snare of the
yacht. By transferring their stock to
the Yacht Club and becoming members
of the club, however, they would own
just the same in the yacht as now and
also have an interest in the club, which
has tangible assets. 1 do not know of
any other way to settle the ownership
of the boat. There would be no use
selling her with an idea of paying back
the contributors on pro rata basis, be-
cause she would not bring enough. Peo-
pie viii pay seven or eight thousand
dollars for an automobile, but no one
fere wants to put that amount of money
into yacht any more"

LITTLE PINK
SLIPPER LOST
Police Department investigates
the Waikiki Road Auto
Accident.

Investigation of the automobile acci,
dent on Waikiki road Sunday night was
held in the Office of Chief of Detectives
Kalakiela last evening, and all who
were able to attend were present
Among them were Frank Lewis the
chauffeur of the KisseI car which ran
into and demolished the buggy driven
by Ed Duisenberg; Charley Ludwigsen
Mr.. Heine and another young man, all
of whom were in the auto and were
upset into the duck pond. Bert Lloyd,
who saw the accident from a Rapid
Transit car, gave testimony.
The accident occurred shortly after
IL O'Clock. The buggy and two autos
were all headed in the same direction,
toward Waikiki. Lewis car was in
the rear. The auto in front of Lewis g
swerved to one side and passed around
Mr.. Duisenberg's buggy, and the Lewis
car, when within a hundred feet of the
buggy swung over in the same direction
with the buggy and smashed into it.,
throwing it against telephone pole.
The machine was thrown around, smash
ed into a telephone pole with it's front
gear, and struck fence with the rear
portion, spilling the occupants from the
tonneau into duck pond.
Mr.. Duisenberg and Miss Roth, who
were in the buggy, were thrown violent
ly to the ground, and were both re-
moved later on to the Queen IS Hospital.
During the night it was thought that
MIR. Duisenberg's life was in danger,
as he is sufferer from heart disease.
Yesterday it was understood that he
felt pain in his side, but both patients
are expected to be all right soon.
The two autos were travelling at a
rapid rate, and fairly whizzed past the
electric car. Ed Lewis told the Sheriff
yesterday that when Frank Lewis saw
the buggy ahead of him he honked his
horn, and that this action no doubt
caused Mr.. Duisenberg to turn his bug
gy, unfortunately, to the side toward
which the auto was swinging to avoid
it. The result was collision.
Mr.. Duisenberg was driving about
the middle of the road, Or, according
to some witnesses, little to the right
of the center. He was within his
legal rights as to the use of the road
A young lady in the Lewis auto
after being fshed out of the duck
pond complained bitterly that she had
lost one of her pink slippers. A search
was made for the dainty piece of foot
gear, but it was not found
A gentleman who resides in Kapio-

need for stationing motorcycle po-
lice officer on the Waikiki road every
night, to prevent racing.
Another accident was narrowly
averted on the Waikiki road yesterday

ALL INDUSTRIES REVIVE.
Trade Review Shows Good News for
Business.

NEW YORK, March 30.-R G.
Dun & Co.. reviewing the business
of the country for last week said:
Retail trade In spring goods has
made further progress and the con-
servative buying by dealers in pre-
pairing for current distribution is
now proving a good supplementary
demand from wholesale and jobbing
houses. Unusually advanced wealth
er in many sections stimulates busf-
ness and agricultural work is max
ing an early start.
In the leading Industries there is
evidence of gradual increase In con-
tracts, many plants preparing for
greater activity on April l. while
proposed reductions In wages have
produced no threats OF strikes.
The best news of the week as to
manufacturing conditions comes
from the leather industry, although
shipments of footwear through Bos-
ton are only about two-thirds those
of the same week last year.
Dispatches from the West and
South are most favorable as to the
general commercial situation. a few
cities reporting the volume Of bust
ness fully equal to last years ant
these statements are supported b,
bank clearings at these points
about the same as In 1907.
