TEXARKANA, Ark, June IA call Tor
a general strike on the Gould system of
railways In the southwest is believed not
an improbable outcome OF the meetings Of
the general committees of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen in
session here discussing controversies be-
tween the Texas q Pacific railway and
the employees organization.
Timothy Shea, vice president Of the or
ganization, who is presiding over the ses-
sions. says efforts to adjust the several
disagreements, involving a demand that a
discharged employe be reinstated and the
right of the Organization TO represent its
members in disputes be recognized, give
but small prospects for a settlement
While declining to be quoted as the prob
abilyity of a general strike, Mr.. Shea con-
cludes a statement as TO the situation
with the declaration that under the laws
Of our organization we have the right to
involve the entire system OF railroads in
that jurisdiction"

Court Denies Their Application for
Writ of Habeas Corpus.
PRISONERS CHEERED BY JAPs
Islands Are Wrought Up by Alleged
Discovery of CoRspfrRcy-Patriot
Appeals Are Addressed to
Strikers by Companions.

HONOLULU, June u.-Evidence OF what
the authorities claim Is a concerted move
ment on the part of the Japanese of the
Hawaiian group to control the sugar In
dustry and thus dominate the. internal af-
fairs Of the islands through their number
and power, was disclosed today when the
office of the JILL" Japanese newspaper
Of Honolulu, and the offices of the Japan
ese Higher Wage association we're entered
by officers armed with search warrants,
and letters. reports and other documents
seized.
Following the confiscation of the papers
and application for a writ Of habeas cor
and Sogo, the three alleged leaders of the
sugar plantation strikes, who we're taken
into custody yesterday was rejected by
the courts.
Conspiracy IL Charged.
1t is claimed by the authorities that the
papers found indicate that a conspiracy
of a widespread nature has been formed
among the Japanese of the islands to wrest
control of affairs from the white residents
and conduct the internal government in
their own interests.
The letters and reports found in the Of
flee Of the Higher Wage association which
as indicated by its name, has the financial
betterment of the Japanese as its object
are from members and agents of the asso-
citation in various parts Of the island. They
express the belief that the strike of the
Japanese plantation workers offers an op-
portunity for the japanese of the islands
by virtue of the numbers, to demonstrate
their power to control the sugar industry
and, through it, the general affairs of the
islands. The determination to so control, II
is stated, is reiterated again and again in
these documents
An appeal to all Japanese, in the name
of their native country, to aid in this move
ment, is said to be conveyed in the letters
The authorities ere preparing complete
translations of all the papers seized and

japanese Gather in Force.
While the court was celebrating upor
the first habeas corpus petition a CROWD
of a thousand Japanese gathered about
the court house to await the outcome. The
gathering was perfectly orderly in its de.
pertinent and vented its spirit in cheers
for the prisoners whenever they came In
sight.
A second petition has been filed by the
attorneys for the prisoners, but has not
been acted upon by the court.
The strike of the Japanese plantation
hands has been in progress for over q
month and is the most extensive walkout
fgIa mr.
and 5000 Japanese are involved. The
strikers demand an increase from 80 cents
to 81 a day for field laborers and a proper
tionate advance for mill hands and other
plantation employees.

NEW YORK, June 1l.-what appeared

of her testimony in cross-examination,

Justice Dowlng. who Is hearing her suit
for separation against her husband. How

cautioned Mr.. Nicoll when the latter
asked the witness a question sharply.
"Oh, I'm sick of trying to be polite. I've
been polite all day and Mrs Gould won t
answer a straight question:" retorted
Nicoll.
Yes, the witness has given Mr.. Niooll
much unnecessary trouble" Justice Dow
ling interposed,
Has Loads of JeweIry.
The amounts of assorted Jewels, tailors'
costumers' and bootmakers' bills continued
to make the spectators admitted to the
court room gasp and stare. The articles
purchased included the pearl rope which
the witness wore yesterday and today,
listed at S27, 900; another pendant at s1S,
300, a diamond chain at 1900, diamond
diadem at $4,000 and a sapphire ring at
5000. Such little things as $500 worth Of
silk stockings at a time or 81, ,62S for shoes
were trivial by comparison. Five tailored
made suits were ordered al a cost of $5,SO7.
Because of the great crowd of curious
persons who gathered hoping to hear the
testimony the court officers resolved them
selves into a committee OF selection to
weed out those who were not entitled to
enter Men and women, old and young,
pressed around the entrance. But strict
discrimination was exercised by the men
guarding the gate. Only such persons as
could give valid reasons for their presence
in the court room managed TO get past the
doorkeepers.
There were bills, bills, bills, and then
more bills; bills for fineTy and for neces-

ants Some OF them Mrs. Gould could iden-

on Fraud Charge
Detroit Men Accused of Swindling
Are Dismissed by Justice on
Examination.

DETROIT, Mich, June 11.-Police Justice
Jeffries late today quashed the conspiracy
case against Louis II. Case managing
partner. and five employees of the broker
age firm of Cameron CuTrie and company,
whose $1,000 900 failure occurred last July.
The defendants were charged with de-
frauding Cameron Currie of $4,000 by
using the firms credit for personal
speculation. Mr.. Currie said on the stand
that the alleged dealings of the employees
would not have been sufficient TO wreck
the firm. He also assumed personal
responsibility for some of the uncollect-
able large accounts carried on the firms
books.
There remain two indictments against
Louis II. Case, individually, in which he is
charged with embezzlng funds belonging
to patrons Of Cameron Currie and COM
pany.
