References to the Hawaii Shinpo al

that the speakers were making their
bitterest attacks on that Journal
The speakers generally advised the
audience to continue the strike and not
to listen to what outsiders had to say
on the subject. The meeting lasted
until well into the night.
New and Better Labor.
From Waialua comes the statement
that the Portuguese and laborers of

earn more than the Japanese. Whe Their

MEMORIAL Stone
LAID IN PLACE
The Exercises Mark Day at
the New Mid-Paeific
Institute.

Sincere words of appreciation and
thankfulness for the philanthropy of
those that have made the Mid-Pacific
Institute possible, were spoken many
times yesterday afternoon when, with
appropriate ceremony, the memorial
stone was placed in the partially con
structed building of the institution in
Manoa valley.
Coupled with the acknowledgment of
a lasting Indebtedness TO those who
have contributed to the endowment of
the institution, was the expression of
firm belief by all of the speakers that
the founding of non-sectarian school
along the lines of the Mid-Paeifc In
stitute was an educational step of fal
reaching results, and that the useful
ness of the institution would increase
with every passing year.
Previous to the exercises of placing
the memorial stone a luau was giver

ian Evangelical Association in th'

CHANG KIM ATTEMPTS
To COMMIT SUICIDE

Word was received in the mail yes
terday from Kailua, Hawaii, that
Chang Kim, of Honolulu, had attempt
ed to commit suicide by cutting his
throat with a razor and partially dis
embowelling himself with the same
blade. At the time the letter was
written, he was still alive, but in a
dangerous state. No reason was given
for this attempt on his life.
Chang Kim was for some time and
until few weeks ago the official Chi
nese interpreter in the First Circuit
Court here, having been a capable
official. Owing to a statute passed at
the last Legislature, which required
that all interpreters must be citizens,
he lost his position. On top of this he
has recently met with other business
losses and it is probable that he had
beconse respondent. He has many
friends in Honolulu, in all classes.

SUNDAY SCHOOL DAY
WAS WELL OBSERVED

The combined membership of the
Sunday schools of the churches affiliat-
ed with Central Union paraded yester-
day morning as a part of the Sunday
School Day observances in connection
with the meeting of the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association, the route of
march being from Central Union to
Kawaiahao church. At this latter
place there was a short ''hoike", Rev.
w. H. Rice, of Kauai, leading in the
speaking.
Kawaiahao was filed to it's capacity
with the children and their teachers
and the various songs rendered by the
congregation of children were most
pleasing, the childish voices giving
added beauty to the familiar hymns.

Shortly after midnight yesterday
morning the japanese Retail Mer-
chants Association adopted a resolu-
ton advising the strikers to return to
the plantations. This action following
just week after the japanese Whole
sale Merchants Association took SINH
lar action is evidence that the moral
backing of the strike is giving way.
The resolution follows:
Resolved, That this association be-
lieVes that the instruction given by
his Imperial Japanese Majesty's Con-
suit General, Uyeno, with reference to
the prevailing situation, should be OBJ
served for the best interests of the
res1dent Japanese; and, therefore, be it
Resolved, That this association, con-
sidering the future of the general, eco
nomic situation and for the best inter,
ests of the general public, advises the
strikers to go back to work in order
that the solution of the present ques.
ton may be FASTENED.
The retail merchants have been hard
pressed since the strike began just q
month ago today on Aiea plantation
and many of the merchants in the coun
try face ruin, while many in town are
reported to be on the ragged edge OF
bankruptcy. It is now quite likely
that every effort will be made by al
merchants, wholesale and retail, to enc
the strike.
Mass Meeting Last Night.
A mass meeting was held last nigh
in the japanese temple yard in LAM
off King street near the old Joe Clarl
saloon building. At $3.50, when Maxine
NegorO and Tasaka arrived, about 120t
men, women, and children were masseo
in the enclosure in front of the TEN
pie. There was applause when the lead
ers went upon the platform after re
moving their shoes. The audience wa
composed mainly of the Aiea men
with whom the Higher Wage propa
ganda has had more effect than upol
any other body of plantation laborers
and they applauded the speakers FIRE

MENT IN SOUTHERN PRESBYTE-
RAN CHURCH..

H. c. Ostrom, who has been travelling
through the various parts of the country
in the interest of the Laymen's Mission
ary movement of the Southern Presby-
terrain church, was in Birmingham yes
terday. The association of laymen is
to conduct a national missionary move
ment beginning in October, 1909, and last
ing through April, 1910
Conferences will be held at 65 cities in
the United States, the most important
centers in each section of the country By
ing on the list. Montgomery will be the
headquarters for the Alabama campaign,
the time for the meeting Of the conven-
ton being set as February 4-e. The rep
resentation of the state Presbyterians in
terested in this movement will number
not less than a thousand delegates. The
speakers engaged to conduct the Alabama
campaign are among the we'll known ora
tors of the country.
The following announcement has been
issued officially by the promoters of the
movenRnt:
"A campaign of education, on ma

Laymen's Missionary movement. The
plan has the Endorsement of the organ
lied foreign missionary agencies of Amer
lea, and will have their active co-opera-
ton. A similar plan has been used in
Canada during the past winter, culminat-
ing in a Canadian National Missionary
congress, attended by over 1000 commits
soners, representing all Protestant
churches of the Dominion. The move
ment has aroused the Christian men Of
Canada to an appreciation of the power
alive Christianity to degree not hitherto
witnessed in our generation.
1.-THE plan In America involves the hold
ing of mems missionary conventions in
about 65 of the most important centers
of the United States, from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. 1t Is expected that out
from these 65 main centers Populations of
speakers will be sent to a great many
other cities to assist them in Conducting
special meetings And a further plan is
hereafter recommended, by which any
city or community in the nation may
share actively in the benefits of this
general awakening. The eliminating fea-
ture of the campaign will be a national
missionary congress, at which 5000 or
more of the most representative Christian
men of America will meet in April, 1910.
president Taft has expressed cordial
sympathy with the purposes of the move
ment. He will give the opening address
of the convention to be held In Wash
