The Hawaiian gazette., 1909-06-11

the very room in which they had
hemmed Wills and Scoville. This room
was their headquarters and, not think
by the police after quiet was restored,
they had gathered in the room to talk
the matter over.
They made no resistance when told
to accompany the officers to the mill,
but went quietly enough. 1t was no.
ticeable with all those arrested that
they did not carry themselves very
jauntily, but seemed rather over
whelmed by the prompt action of the
police. Maxine has been doing his best
to persuade them that the authorities
would take no action. He has now had
taste of reaping part of a hurricane
from the hot air which he sowed.
Threat to Blow Up House.
A Japanese friend Of the twenty two
returning labOrers who are under po-
lice protection at Waipahu told them
late last night that he had overheard
a plot to blow their house up. One of
the officers on duty notified Manager
Bull. and he interviewed the informant,
hearing the statement repeated. The
guard around the place was at once
doubled.
Maxine Talks to Aieans.
The Aiea strikers that came in to
Honolulu last night were met at the
Kalihi pumping station soon after mid
| night by delegation of local Japanese,
among whom were many of the strik-
ers from the different plantations. They
had colored lanterns with them and,
when the Aiea Japanese, including
women and children, arrived in sight,
they were greeted with much waving
of lanterns and Banzais.
The two delegations then coalesced
and tramped along King street to Bere-
tania. Here halt was called, while
Negoro made short speech, which
was greeted with many more Banzais
Opposite Aala Park the column halt
ed again, where Maxine, Negoro and
two of their lieutenants stood on q
bench. They all crowded round while
Maxine, looking as pert as you please
addressed them. A friendly inter
prefer stated that he was telling then
to stand together for the honor OF
Japan and for their families, not tC
waver, but to stand and win peaceably
Asked after the meeting how he fell
after the Waipahu pilikia, Maxine
looked in wondering way at the ques
tioner and wanted to know "What pill
kiaf" He affirmed that there had beer
no trouble at the Oahu plantation ant
that everything was smooth and love
ly, but that the strikers would surel,
win.
The delegation from Aiea disperse,
in very orderly way, apparently tiret
enough to accept whatever h3pitalit,
the local Japanese sympathizers wer
able to offer them.
Henry Bringing in Leaders.
AT a. m. this morning word wa
telephoned in from Waipahu that Hig
Sheriff Henry was about to leave 10
Honolulu with eight of the arreste
strikers who had been examined at tn
inquiry. AT that time all was quiet o
