MANY JAPANESE
JOIN IN STRIKE
FIELD EMPLOYEES IN HAWAII
OBEY ORDERS
Owners Secure Large Force of SUBJ
stitutes, but Only the Most ln-
peratiVe Tasks Can Be
Completed
tBy Associated Press.l

HONOLULU, May 21.-Obeytng the
orders of the employers to quit the SUI
gar plantations or return to work on
Saturday, the striking Japanese planta-
ton laborers are leaving the places
where they have been employed and
are pouring into this city.
The leaders of the strike at the Homo
lulu plantation have prepared plans for
a march of the strikers, the procession
to be headed by band and the men
to carry Japanese and American flags.
These will be joined by the men from
the oahu plantation, and the whole
procession will proceed to this city to-
morrow afternoon. 1t is estimated that
there will be nearly 1000 strikers in
line.
When the procession reaches this city
the Japanese sympathizers will turn
out to meet them and escort them to
quarters which already have been pre-
pared for their reception and stay until
the strike ends. The japanese employees
on the Waitua plantation probably Will
Join the strike on Monday.
1t is the purpose of the leaders of the
movement to keep those employed on
the Eva plantation at work in order to
supply the strikers with a means of
subsistence. Japanese house servants
and others are contributing literally to
the strike fund already. The sugar
plantations are working in all about
IL 900 strike breakers, and the force is
so small that only the most urgent field
work is progressing.

PLAN POW-WOW FOR
INDIAN WIFE SLAYER
RED MEN SURROUND PRISON
TO AWAIT BODY
Aboriqine Hanged in Nevada for SIay-
ing Spouse Much Wanted by
His Tribesmen, Who
Are Indignant

RENO, New, May 21.-Because more
than 500 Washoe Indians are gathered
in Carson City and intend when the
body of Charles Kaiser is turned over
to them by the warden of the peniten-
tiary to hold a big powwow over the
hanged mans remains, and also pe-
cause the authorities fear trouble as a
result, the body will be buried within
the walls of the prison, and tomorrow
morning members of the state police
will order the Indians to disperse.
Kaiser was hanged this morning at IL
O'Clock. He was a son of Black Horse,
a Washoe chief. Washoe Indians from
the nearby reservation resent the inter-
ference of state authorities in their af-
fairs, and declare it was their duty to
have hanged Kaiser should he have
deserved 1t in their opinion.
Kaiser killed his wife for alleged in
timacy with another man-an offense
punishable by death by the Washoes.
Kaiser was the third Indian to be
hanged by the state, and the Indians
are resentful for this.
Early yesterday Indians began to
gather outside the prison walls, await
ing the turning over of ka1sers body.
They declared openly they would hold
a powwow, and as the majority of them
were armed, it was deemed advisable
to bury the body within the prison
walls.
Kaiser, despite has bravado yester-
day. broke down completely just before
the execution He wept and had to be
dragged to the chaffold.

MYSTERIOUS CRIME
AFFORDS NO CLEW
CHICO AUTHORITIES PUZZLED
BY VIOLENT DEATH
Murdered Man Thought to Have Been
Enticed Into Vacant Lot for
Purpose of Rob-
berry

CHICO, May 21.-Nothing has been
brought to light that will serve to dis
pei the mystery surrounding the death
of an unidentified man who was found
yesterday in a vacant building near
Sterling with his skull crushed with a
piece of gas pipe.
The coroners jury investigated the
matter today, but no evidence leading
to the establishment of the mans
identity was adduced, though 1T is be-
lieved he was a railroad laborer
The theory of the crime advanced
by those who have gone over the
ground is that the murdered man was
enticed into the building while under
the influence of liquor, and after he
had been killed by a blow on the head,
robbed of what money was in his
pockets
From the condition of the body 1t is
believed the murder was committed
yesterday, but no clue to the murderers
has been discovered.

EVIL SPIRITS CAUSE
RANCHER TO BURN OFF
ARMS IN SLOW FIRE

SEATTLE, May 21.-R. G. Mcintosh,
aged Al, a rancher of West Seattle, was
found in his log cabin today with his
hands and arms so severely burned as to
require amputatiOn, and it is feared he
will die.
Mcintosh said he had read In the Bible
of evil spirits and he came to the con-
clusion that these had been speaking to
him. In order to rid himself of them
he put both arms into the fire. He says
it was slow wood fire in a kitchen
stove and he held his arms there for
long time.
Following the ordeal he sat and gazed
at his hands and arms for hours and
felt great peace come over himself.
Then he was satisfied he had done right
1t was only when he became weak
from hunger, after total abstinence of
five days that Mcintosh appeared at his
door to beg for assistance.

LEADERS
SAY EMPLOYERS
WANT REVENGE
PERSECUTION IS CHARGED BY
TRADES COUNCIL MEN
ASSOCIATION SAID TO BE BACK
OF TRIAL IN CHICAGO
Madden, Puchet and Boyle Declared
by Their Attorney to Be Entirely
innocent of Accepting
Bribes
[Rv Associated press.1

NHICAGO, May Persecution Of
union labor" by the Chicago EN-
~ ployers' association was charged
today by the defense in the trial Of
Martin B. Madden, president of the AS
sociated Building Trades, and his asso-
ciates, F. A. Puchet and NJ. J. Boyle.
The unionists are charged with con-
spiracy by accepting graft money in
settling fake strikes.
Maddens lawyers declared the strikes
concerning which the state introduced
testimony tending to show the payment
of money were legitimate. They de-
clared $1,000 was not received by Mad
den in settlement of the strike on the
Joseph Klicka plant.
Judge McSurley overruled the mo-
tions made by the defense to take the
case from the jury.
Attorney Brady, in speaking for the
defendants, said:
"There is an employers association
hostile to the unions and to the Associ-
ated Building Trades. This associa-
ton and some contractors are backing
this prosecution.
Strike Legitimate
1--WE will prove that this Klicka strike
was as legitimate as any strike ever
called in its inception, its promotion, its
oCNNASAAAcA@~T
Payment of any money to settle the
strik could not have had any more to
do with it than pouring water on
ducks back.
"The trouble at the Klicka plant was
first over the contract of the firm OF
Atkins. Young & Allen, which employ
non-union steam filters, and the Cy-
clone Blow Pipe company, which IN
part employs non-union men.
so far as that alleged money trans
action is concerned. the strike might
not have been ended for months"
Charles M. Rau, business agent of the
Steam Filters Protective association,
testified that the cause of the Klicka
strike was the fact that a non-union
force was putting in dry kilns in the
plant He said the men were not or
dered back to work until contracts had
been let to firms that employed union
labor.
Important Testimony
Max B. Thoman, business agent for
the Architectural Iron Workers union,
gave important testimony
He said he was in Powers & Gilbert's
saloon on November 1S and saw there
George S. Andres, a contractor, who
testified yesterday that he paid Madden
$1,000 in that saloon to settle the Klicka
strilke.
Tell us what occurred when Andres
came in" prompted Attorney Brady.
HE was carrying a roll of blue prints
and talked to Madden. There was some
discussion about a contract for work
on the Klicka job that had been let 10
a nOn-union concern. / heard Madden
say he would have to go to the organ
ization.'
He declared Madden and Andres did
not leave his sight together, and that
he did not see anybody pay Madden
money.

new Wayman asked Thoman if any 9TH
