IF anyone imagines that, Influenced
by the proceedings in the Circuit Court
during the past fortnight and the at
tempt on Sheba s life, the triumvirate
who run the Nippu Jill have in any
way modified the tone of that paper,
a leading article which appeared IN
its issue of the 9TH inst. should suffice
to undeceive such a person. The arti-
Gle is entitled "The Good Effects of
the Strike.'' Without going into un-
necessary details, l will dot down the
benefits which the Jiji supposes to
have been derived from the strike:
IA The majority of the strikers
object to go back to the plantations
where they have hitherto worked. This
has shown the planters how determin-
ed Japanese laborers are.
~ The japanese residents in this
country have shown how they can
unite in fighting big battle against
the planters. The foreign community
have had an object lesson in japanese
solidarity.
(3) The strike movement has re-
vealed the fact that we have in orr
midst "detestable traitors from whose
wicked devices we have all suffered
much -
az The strike movement has fur
thermore made it plain that we .Tapa-
nese as a body are capable of enter
ing the lists against that formidable
body. the Planters Association. For
four long months we have set our
selves in battle array against their
forces. We have never lowered ouI
colors nor has there been any disorder
in our ranks Even the planters them
selves must in their heart of hearts
acknowledge that we have fought
nobly.
(5) The planters now know thai
the japanese laborers are not to be
despised, that combined they are Z
formidable body of men.
(6) Our iaborers have had excellent
training in the art of holding together
the various units that have formed
part Of big alliance.
To sum up, this strike movement ha'
taught us who are our friends and whc
are orr foes. 1t has taught capital
lists and laborers that they can not ac

STRIKERS ARE
READY For
WORK
Exodus of japanese to
Plantations Is
General.

No more soup kitchens, no more free
lodgings, no more free automobile rides
for the leaders, no more holidays, no
more headquarters with big piles of
rice sto show how the rank and file
sympathize; Aaia street is almost de-
serted. Yesterday marked a general
exodus of former strikers from Homo
lulu for the plantations. on which they
expect to resume work again this morn
ing.
The big open air restaurant on Aala
lane has dwindled to a mere soup kit
chen for the few remaining men and
women who may not be able to return
to work Immediately. The offices of
the Higher Wage Association are lone
sy, and the cocky air which pervaded
them for weeks has gone. A sickly
smile only may be seen upon the lips
of the leaders of the movement.
On every train which left the Homo
lulu depot yesterday squads of strikers
left for Aiea and Waipahu. Some car
ried new trunks with them, but most
had their belongings made up in cloth
holders.
1t is understood that the letter of
intimidation sent by a japanese to
Judge De Bolt was signed "Makino s
Friends.'' Letters which have been
found in Mort s possession show that he
was in close connection with the Higher
Wage Association and the leaders there
of before the attempted assassination
of Editor Sheba
Now comes the REIMBURSEMENT of the
strikebreaker problem, for it will be a
problem in some respects. That the
numbers of strikebreakers will become
less day by day, is certain, but whether
naay of them will be retained upon the
plantations in duties in which they
have shown aptitude, remains TO be
seen. It is believed that the places of
men who have stood in the breach and
helped the planters to win their fight
against the strike leaders. Many of the
strikebreakers have shown themselves
capable of filing responsible positions.
The strike began about three months
ago and strikebreakers wages alone
amounted to about $500 daily, ex-
elusive of Sundays. In round figures
this amounted to $4,000 per week. In
addition to this the planters had to
pay for the transportation of this
army of men to and from the planta-
tions daily, increasing the cost mate
rally. For twelve weeks at $4,000 per
week, or $4,000 say, the strikebreak
ers wages alone have totaled nearly a
half million dollars. This money paid
in cash in daily instalments, has gone

HAWAII SOON CENTER
OF VOLCANIC STUDY

"R. A. DAILY. the assistant to Prof.
Jaggar of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, who will organize the
volcanic observatory on Kilauea, is
very enthusiastic over his work, - said
R. X. Bonine Saturday. BONNIE re-
turned from Hawaii on the Mauna Kea,
and while at the volcano had an ex-
tended conversation with Daily.
9. Mr.. Daily is taking great interest
in the work. continued the speaker,
"and believes that, with the observa'
tory completed, Hawaii will become the
world IS distributing center of volcanic
lore. He is certainly man well fitted
to carry on the work outlined by Prof.
Jaggar, for in addition to his enthu-
siasm, he has his full share of energy -
Bonine states that the lava in the
pit has fallen to a considerably lower
elevation than he found it on his last
trip, and also says that the pit is filed
with sulphur smoke. Nevertheless Wis
itors who were there during his stay
seemed very well satisfied, says he.
While on Hawaii, BONNIE made some
thing more than 1000 feet of moving
picture film, in addition to great
number of glass negatives for lantern
slide and reproduction work. He visit
ed the Hilo breakwater and made some
very fine views of the work in progress.

LEARNED SIGNALS
FROM THE WATCHMAN

The police became active in the pur-
suit of gamblers on Saturday night and
Sunday, rounding up more than score
of many nationalities. Five crap shoot
ers were caught in building at Aala
and Beretania avenue, and nine more
on Punchbowl on Saturday night.
In the latter place, the players had
a Waterman out. He was captured by
the police and made to divulge the sig
nails. These proved to be one rap to
indicate that police were in the vicin-
ity. Two raps showed that everything
was all right and three raps meant,
"'Open the door, The police crept
up quietly and three raps were given.
The door was opened and the police
eatapulted into the room, where they
caught the players redhanded and Sc
cured money and dice as evidence.

POLICE OFFICER GIVEN
AN IMPOSING FUNERAL

The funeral of George Namokueha,
a member of the Honolulu police de-
partment, who died Friday, took place
yesterday afternoon. It was an impos-
ing cortege with many Hawaiian So
cieties in attendance, that marched
from the undertaking parlors to the
grave in the Kaumakapii churchyard.
Among the societies were the Hui Oiwi,
and the woman auxiliary of the Owl,
the Hui Kuokoa. the Poolas and the
Poola wahines. Beside the regular pail

Captain Downie of the British S. S.
Century, now in port, was the COM
mander of the Inflated British S. S.
Aeon, which went ashore on Christmas
Island several months ago. The Cen
fury and Aeon were sister ships, and
handsome vessels Of their class. The
only officers of the Aeon transferred
to the Century when the latter vessel
San Francisco and Australia were Cap
tain Downie and the first officer.
The Aeon went on the. rocky outline
of Christmas Island during a storm,
while en- route from San Francisco to
the South Seas. Aboard were several
officers of the United States Navy and
their families, who were to be dropped
off at Page Page, Samoa. The officers,
passengers and crew managed to get
much of the cargo off the vessel and
prepare camps ashore They lived well,
under the iron discipline of Captain
Downie. A rescue was effected through
a boats crew being sent away for
help. The boat. after passing through
strenuous trials, reached a populated
island, and soon the cables had the
story of the disaster.
Some Honolulans, acting in conjunc-
ton with Australian residents, bought
the wreck and sent steamer after the
wrecked parts, but when they arrived
they found nothing. An expedition
was sent from Honolulu in the schooner
Concord, with Eben Low, now known
as the "Pirate Kid,' in command It
was thought they would look over the
wreck and see wether it was worth
taking away from the lonely islet. The
Concord returned with several thou
sand coeoanuts and bursted harpoon
gun, found on the island.

kAEA HANDLES
THE DICE AGAIN
Crap Game in the Fumigatinq
Chamber On Channel
Wharf.

When the campaign was on last wear.
and the Republican convention was in
full swing, the party was rent from
top to bottom by the dispute as to
whether or not George Kaea, whe had
been selected by the Fifth District.
was to be allowed to run for the Legis-
lature. The selection made, by the way.
when most of the conventioners were
asleep in the early hours of an all night
session. The charge against Kaea was
that he was crap shooter and a pro-
fesslonal gambler. Kaea was finally
removed from the ticket, although he
protested that he had reformed and
was doing no more gambling. His name
had appeared frequently on the police
station blotter, generally for GIL. -
Yesterday afternoon Kaea took part
IN crap game on the Channel wharf.
The players had opened the heavy door
leading into one of the fumigating
chambers, and there, on the dusty floor,
rolled the bones to their heart de-
light, secure in the thought that police
officers could not very well interfere
with them in that secluded spot. Kaea
appeared to be the leader in the move
ment. A special officer did appear on
the scene however, just as Kaea was
in the act of leaning over to throw the
dice, after depositing half dollar in
the space around which the players
squatted.
Kaea hates to face the police court
Judge for he knows that he will be
given a stiff sentence The police know
that Kaea generally forfeits his bail
and for that reason he is compelled
to put up $25. His "reform" did not
last very long

PROBE DEATH
OF SPAULDING

The coroner's jury this morning
took up teh investigation of the
death of Janitor Robert Spauld-
ing, who was killed by the city
hall elevator yesterday. No new
light was thrown on the case.
The investigation lasted over this
afternoon and the testimony all
appeared to indicate that Johnson
forgot the men were below when
he started the elevator up.
