A SUFFRAGETTE HERE.

Mrs. Philip Snowden, Wife of a Dis
tinguished Member of Parliament.
Mrs. Philip Snowden, who recently
arrived In this country Nrom England,
is not only the wife of a distinguished
member of parliament, but is famous
on her own account as a suffragette
and a lecturer. During her stay in

a number of colleges and women's
clubs.
Mrs. Snowden is young and passing
fair, of the dainty pink and white
type of English beauty. She is not of
the most militant variety of the suf-
~fragettes. She has never been In jail

Marcia knew what Barrett would
think of this proposition. He would
utterly condemn it. She felt as If she
were selling him out behind his back.
Not for her own sake, not for fame
md fortune, would she do this, be-
cause she loved him. But how about
his own interests? Here was a chance
for him to make money, perhaps even
to get his $4,000, but she knew him.
He was as stiff neeked as a bronze
statue. Having decided to refuse Mr..
HIS bride, no sum on earth could buy
him. He must be made to see the
matter in another light.
"They will cost $10,500," said she.
Mr.. III. opened his eyes wide.
Great ~goodness!' he cried. "Why
are they worth that?"
She laughed n~ervously.
"They must be-" she said. Nobody
will buy them for less"
This novel method of fixing a price
appealed to Mr.. HIS sense of humor,
and he laughed long and loud.

such an opportunity again, and he

certain Yankee GOODNESS of blood, with
a touch of old fashioned courtesy and
precision. The interview between
them when Barrett made his final de-
mand was a model for temperance of

How to Sew on Buttons.

The following is an excellent way of
sewing buttons on children's coats,
etc: Make a good sized knot In your
thread, which should be fairly coarse,
then place a small pearl button on the
inside of the coat. Put the needle first
through the material. starting from the
right side of the garment, then through
the small button, then back again
through the material and right through
the big button
Continue to stitch through and
through until the button feels quite
firm, then give the thread a twist or
two round the base of the top button
and finish off securely. There will
then be no fear of the buttons coming
off OF tearing away the cloth.

Mice Don't Like campbor.

Country people long ago discovered
that Jumps of camphor scattered
through their pantries and cellars
would drive Off the pest of tiny red
ants that sometimes and without APP
parent cause infest places where food
is placed. It is now known that mice
and rats also have an aversion to
camphor and will moi go where II is.
A lump of it placed at the mouth of
rat and mice holes while waiting for

The First Safety Pin.

A little boy. the son of an English
blacksmith, used to act as nursemaid
to his baby brother. The baby often
cried, and its tears were generally
caused by pin pricks. Noticing this.
the boy tried to bend pins in such a
way that they would do their work
without puncturing the baby.
He failed, but his father, seeing the
utility of the idea the lad had beer at
work on, set to work on his own ac-
count and eventually turned out the
safety pin. which is now used all owe

ELSIE SIGEL'S SLAYER MAY
BE ON THE ARIZONAN

NORFOLK, Va, June 25.-The Ha-
waiian Steamship Company's steamer
Arizonan, which sailed from Norfolk
yesterday, bound for San Francisco. has
aboard Leon Ling, or Lang, who was
signed as member of the vessel s Chi
nese crew in New York June IL.
Ell left New York on the steamer
June II for Lamberts point, where she
yesterday finished taking on a full
cargo of government coal for the Pa
clfic Coast. The Arizonan passed out
the Virginia capes early today, after
having been aground several hours on
Bush Bluff shoals, where she struck in
passing out the lower harbor last night
The Arizonan passed Cape Henry
outward bound at s:15 o'clock this
morning. This afternoon she was only
short distance down the North Caro-
lima coast, probably off Cape Hatteras
and Diamond Shoals.
During the vessel s stay here
strange Chinaman was seen walking
about the city. He did not mix with
any of his fellow countrymen, and
nothing could be learned of him.
Yesterday Detective Wright of the
Norfolk police department. got trail of
the stranger, who seems to answer in
many details the description of Elsie
Slgel s murderer, and followed him to
Lambert s point, but arrived at the
coal piers just after the Arizonan had
left on her long voyage around to San
Francisco.
The detective was told that the China
man for whom he was searching was
aboard the outgoing steamer. The
name of Leon Ling, or Lang, appears
among the list of the crew Of the
Arizonan which was filed by the mas
er Of the steamer in the office of the
collector of customs here.
While the age of Elsie Sigel's muir
derer is given from New York as
thirty-five years, the age of Leon Ling,
or Lang aboard the Arizonan is given
as thirty-seven years
Leon Ling, or Lang is only one of
three Cinnamon signed as members of
the crew of the Arizonan, which up to
this time has been plying between New
I ork, Philadelphia and Mexican ports
IN the sugar trade. She is now to run
between San Francisco and Hawaii.

IS likely to stop on her way southwark

Two witnesses were upon the stand
yesterday in the riot trial in Judge Rob-
inson S department of the Circuit Court,
both men being defendants in the case,
Miauchi, treasurer of the Higher Wage
Association at Waipahu, and Kawa-
kami. Both of the men testified to
their version of the circumstances sur
rounding the riot, and they made every
effort to show that the gathering of
japanese was an orderly one and that
there was no intention to obstruet the
officers Of the law in the performance
of their duties.
Under the DISCRIMINATION by At
torney Kinney for the prosecution,
Miauchi admitted that he had been an
employee of the Oahu Sugar Plantation
Company for a period of only eight
month he was at Waipahu he was en-
gagged by a Japanese contractor.
In reply to question by Attorney
Kinney, he denied emphatically that he
was sent to Waipahu by the leaders of
the higher wage agitation for the pur-
pose of directing the preliminaries to
the strike. The japanese admitted
hearing the pistol shot from one of the
officers, fred as warning to the oath
ering of three hundred men-his esti
mate placed upon the number included
in the riot. Miauchi also admitted that
he informed the officers that the Japan
csc were not alarmed by the display of
weapons and that he advised them to
retire to the headquarters of the Wal
pahu branch of the Higher Wage Asso-
citation for their protection.
Kawakami, the second witness, testi-
fed that there was no disposition on the
part of the Japanese laborers to infict
harm on the officers, and he did his best
to bear out the attempts of Miauchi to
prove that nothing riotous occurred.
The trial was continued until Mon
day morning, today and tomorrow being
given over to the argument on the
order to show cause why temporary
should not be granted against
Maxine and thirty-two other leaders of
the higher wage movement. preventing
them from interfering with the opera
ton of the Oahu Sugar Company's plan
tation.
In Judge De Bolt s department of the
Circuit Court yesterday the conspiracy
case against Maxine, Yamashro, Ne
goro, Tasaka, and Kawamura was con
tinued until Monday, July 10, at which
time it is supposed that the trial of the
rioters will have been concluded before
Judge Robinson.

eighteen Or nineteen years of age. To

larly.

"Get married." exclaimed the Chief
in bewifderment s'This is no matri-
monial bureau. What IS this all about,
anyways''
Then the story came out. It appears
that All Lum lost his heart some time
ago and little Oei found it and refused
to return it, but offered what appeared
to All Lum as a fair exchange, and
therefore no robbery.
But there was the father of Oei to
be considered, and he proved to be
serious obstacle. He didn't want his
daughter to marry Chinese, and par.
ticularly he didn't want her to marry
All Lum. In fact, he had entirely
different plans. Oei limited to Chief
Leal that her father was determined
that she should marry a steward on

PLAN To SELL
PUBLIC LANDS
Conference Held by Governor
on Operation OF New
Law.

An important conference dealing
with the operation and application OF
the new law relating to the sale and
exchange of public lands was held in
the office of Governor Frear yesterday
between the chief executive, Marston
Campbell and Attorney General Hem
enway.
Under Act 55 passed by the last
Legislature the Governor is empowered
when private property is required
for public purposes for which there is
no special provision for its acquisition
Ito sell the public land at auction and
devote the proceeds of the sale to the
purchase of the private holding. This
law enlarges upon the former one in
that it allows the selling of public
lands while the former law only per-
mitted exchanges, restriction that
was found to be hardship.
The acquisition of an additional
tract of land in Manoa valley for the
uses of the College of Hawaii was one
OF the items considered yesterday and
the second was the land needed to al
low the proposed extension of Bishop
street.
Honolulu Hale Lot.
Governor Frear stated after the con-
ference that the land that the gov
eminent might dispose of could reason
ably be expected to produce sum
of about $4,000. Referring to the Ho-
nolulu Hale lot, Governor Frear stated
that there was considerable doubt as
to whether it would be best to sell the
property or hold it. He stated that
possibly $4,000 could be realized from
its sale and in addition a building
restriction might be imposed which
would result in the erection of a de-
sirable business block upon the site. In
addition to the selling price of the
property, Governor Frear stated that
the government would secure another
asset because of the taxes that would
be collectible upon improved property
in that portion of the city,
We are making up list of the land
that can be exchanged and sold,'' said
Governor Frear, tsand the two ques-
lions to which we are giving our at
tention now is the extension of Bishop
street and more land for the College
of Hawaii in Manoa valley.

CASTLES TALK
To JAPANESE
Interview with Him in the
Leading Journal of
The Empire.

Following is from the Japan Times
of June IS: Mr.. VIM. R. Castle of
Honolulu, formerly Attorney General
of Hawaii and also once Hawaiian Min
lister at Washington, now on visit
to this country, was seen by repre-
sentative of the Japan Times at the
Imperial Hotel on Wednesday after
noon. Mr. Castle is one of the most
prominent lawyers in Honolulu and has
many japanese among his clients. He
is consequently acquainted with the
condition of our compatriots on the
island. Asked of his view on the
strike about which so many kilograms
of ominous import are now being re-
ceived from San Francisco and New
York, Mr.. Castle had the following to
say:
The Hawaiian planters are all well
pleased with their japanese 1aborers,
and the japanese themselves are well
contented with their lot. Why, L
have it from the officials of the Yoko-
hama Specie Bank that those planta-
tion laborers send home something
like 100000 monthly. That is
their savings When they can save
so much it stands to reason that they
should be well eontented and they
are. And no wonder that they are.
For besides being able to save so much,
they are well cared for and treated
with every consideration. The planters
give them houses to live in--in rows
of houses divided into apartments for
single men-healthy in site and clean
in surroundings, with all the appurten-
ances that minister to comfort. Married
couples are given self-eontained houses
each with little plot of land in which
they can raise flowers and vegetables.
The planters furnish at their expense
schools and kindergarten for the la
borers' children. When mothers with
babies work on the plantation they can
hire day nurses at the planters ex-
pense. In fact the planters are doing
all they can to make the laborers life
and worth living. Why?
Because they are perfectly satisfied
with their work and wish them to stay
permanently on their plantations.
Three or four years ago there sud
denly sprang up disreputable quarter
in Hawaii, girls being brought over
from Japan under the aegis of some
Japanese on one pretext
or another When the Hawaiian au-
thorities became aware of the state of
things, they set about shutting up the
houses in the quarter and liberating
their inmates. Those japanese who
were growing fat from the nefarious
trade naturally resented the action and
vowed vengeance,-vengeanc which |
soon took shape in sowing trouble |
among the plantation laborers. They |
bought over to their side the Nippu |

CHIEF LEAL ASSISTS in
INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE

Chief of Detectives Joe Leal uncon-
sciously played the part of Hymen yes
terday afternoon at the police station
in little heart drama, and the man
who is terror to evildoers has yet not
got through chuckling and patting him
self on the back at th7 opportunity
that was afforded him of uniting two
hearts that longed to beat as one. IN
cidentally, the Chief aided in effecting
an alliance between China and Japan
and disconcerting cruel parent.
The other dramatis personae were All
Lum, a good looking young Chinese of
81, the hero, in love with Oei, charm
ing little maid of Japan, desperately in
love with the hero; cruel father, de-
termined to prevent the marriage of the
hero and the heroine; a stern uncle, in
league with the father; a priest, attor-
ney, policeman and bystanders.
Tt was rather late in the afternoon
when an excited Chinese appeared in
the office of Chief Leal and reported
that japanese was cruelty beating a
girl in a house on Hotel street near the
corner of Kekaulike. This looked like
a matter for investigation, so the Chief
sent out two of his men to bring back
the girl Meantime, the Chinese await
ed developments in the Office of the
Chief.
