BARON'S SPECIAL GUARD
His Imperial Japanese Majesty's Ha-
waiian Consul General Uyeno, in good
time prior to the arrival of the party,
made an official request of Acting Gov
ernor Mott-Smith to arrange a spe-
cial body-guard for Baron Shibusawa
inasmuch, as above noted, Shibusawa

tyred Ito in Korean affairs, for the in.
terests of the Japanese empire, and
any possible attempt at the assassi-
nation of Shibusawa is desired to be
most carefully guarded against. In
mainland cities, especially coast towns,
Shibusawa was given body-guard to
prevent anything in the way of an at
tempt on the part of any fanatical Ko-
rean, or other anarchist, against the
life of. the man who is to step into Itos
/ shoes.
Acting Governor Mott-Smith at once
referred the matter to Colonel Jones
of the National Guard of Hawaii and
Jones, consulting with the City and
County police department, caused to
be appointed Sergeant Barry and De-
tective Harry Lake.
In consequence, Barry and Lake, in
plain clothes, were on hand when
the Chiyo Maru locked at the Hack
field wharf this morning and they &C
companied the Baron throughout his
swift automobile and train tour OF
places of interest on this island. Lake
and Barry were armed for any emer.
gency and the utmost vigilance was
observed. Twenty policemen were
on the Hackfeld wharf when the Chiy(
Maru arrived, most of them in civilian
clothes. The crowd was CAREFUL!
kept beyond the gates and special at
tention was paid to Koreans. No on,
was allowed on the wharf except those
p who had business. When the BaroI
was privately informed of the officia
D care being taken of his person, he eX
pressed courthouse gratitude, though
he did not seem to anticipate any at
tempt on mis- life.
