REVENGING The
TATSU INCIDENT
Boycott Having Big Effect on
Foreign Business Houses
in China.

Business houses in all the Chinese
coast cities are in the throes of great
financial depression just now, the re
suit Of the Chinese boycott on Jap
anese products and the two late wars
which burdened Japan and China with
debt. This statement was made yes
terday aboard the s. s. Manchuria by
N. E. Getz of Getz Bros, wholesale
exporting grocers. Mr.. Getz has spent
ten months in China looking after the
interests of their branch store in
Shanghai
Mr.. Getz states that since the boy
cott began on japanese goods, follow
ing the Tatsu Maru incident, it has
caused the downfall of many Japanese
business houses and great financial
losses, and that their representatives in
the Chinese cities have been forced to
the wall. Even the Nippon YuseH
Kafsha, a japanese corporation and
one of the largest steamship companies
in the world, has sustained loss, ac-
eording to Mr.. Getz' figures, of 4,000,-
600 ven in the past year. the bulk OF
it being caused in recent months by
the boycott.
Owing to the bad financial and trade
outlook Mr.. Getz went TO the Orient
TO look closely after the affairs of
his company. It was found that many
companies had overstoeked with goods
and these were put off their hands even
at loss Today companies are not
carrying great stocks of goods, pre-
ferring to do an office business only,
importing goods on order. Under the
compradore system the importers are
covered for their margins, so that
there is less likelihood of the import
ing companies scoring loss through
failure of customers to make their
paper good.
Mr.. Getz SAYS, also, that the ex-
change is lower today than for some
time past. the Mexican dollar being the
basis of trade transactions.
In confirmation of Mr.. Getz state
ments concerning the status of business

GOVERNOR STUDYING
ELECTION PRECINCTS

"'Taking a walk around the Islands y
is the way Governor Frear describes
the work he is doing in studying the
various precinct boundary problems
submitted to him from the politicians,
On Saturday afternoon the Governor
had the largest obtainable maps of the
Islands brought into his Office, and
with these spread out on the floor he
studied the situation. Sometimes he
had to get down on his hands and
knees 70 better figure out the trails
and routes the voters would have TO
take, and on hands and knees he
erawled over all the Punas and Konas
and the other districts Of the archi-
pelago, going farther IN his work than
some of the voters viii have to 60 TO
find their precinct polls.
The changes TO be made are those
mentioned several weeks ago in the
Advertiser. the swinging around of the
line between the first and second of
the fourth. the establishment of addi-
tional polling places in the Koolaus.
and some changes on Maui.
This work has al to be completed

LOOKING FOR TARIFF
REVISION POINTERS

Governor Frear had an informal dis
cussion Of the tariff yesterday morning
with a delegation at his Office. those
present being Delegate Kuhio. ". o.
Smith of the Planters Association.
George ". Smith Of the Merchants
Association. James F. Morgan Of the
Chamber of Commerce. and George B
Mcclellan. The conference was in re-
gard TO the communication recently re-
ceived by the Governor. and by him
turned over TO the commercial bodies
of the city, which came from the State
Board OF Trade of California. Tt asked
Hawaii to cooperate with the Western
Coast States in preparing suggestions
on tariff revision.
At yesterdays conference it was de-
eided that a meeting Of the represen-
tstives Of the commercial and manu-
featuring interests should be called In
the near future TO discuss the tariff
situation.

.IAUKEi InD|sCREET
BUT NOT CULPADLE

The grand jury finds that Iankea has
been indisereet but not criminal in the
matter of the Isoi bribery attempt. The
same jury finds that Isoi had Grim
inal intent and violated the law in
his offer to pay for police protection,
but on account of the way the affair
was handled by the Sheriff il is i'm
possible to indict the japanese for his
criminal act.
This report was presented bv the
grand jury to Judge De Bolt yester-
day afternoon, along with report of
indictments found. These are: Miya-
Okla Gaichi, assault with deadly
weapon; David Keyes, embezzlement;
Mamura, assault with deadly weapon;
Alexandra NJ. Pax Chez. adultery; *.
Ammo. selling liquor without a license,
and Wong Cock, adultery.
The official report concerning the tn
vestigation into the Sheriff s dealings
with sIsoi was:
Your grand jurors have made a
careful and complete investigation into
the Iaukea-Is Iwilei matter. and our
conclusion in the premises is that no
criminal charge can be made against
Sheriff. Iaukea, as the evidence does
not warrant it. As to Isoi, it is our
belief that he intended to and did vio-
late the law by attempting bribery,
but in view of the indisereet conduct
Of Sheriff Iaukea. both in this attempt
ed bribery and with regard to his prior
transaction-the borrowing Of $100-
an Indictment could not be secured
against Isoi.
This concludes the work Of the pres
ent grand jury. which viii probably be
excused from further attendance this
week.
