PROSECUTION I
OF ALLEGED BRIBER

Bride. OF course the calmest man,
and, perhaps, the most entertained,
was His Honor, Judge Woodruff.
For the young attorney, Mcbride, to
put Breckons, the veteran cross-exa-
miner, of whom all criminals are
afraid, on the rack, was an exhibition
for the delight of any jury; even
thoug, Breckons suffered nothing
thereby; but smiled throughout.
While Brown was or the witness
stand note was handed him. Cour-
teously he offered to let the attorney
for the defense, Mcbride read it;
presumably on the ground that he,
Brown, did not want Mcbride to think
any undue advantage was being taken
by the government. Just as CALAMITY
did Mcbride refuse to want to look
at it, AS a matter CT fact it was a
private communication.
This is but an illustration of the
polfteness hat prevails in spite of
sometimes heated argument, in the
United States District Court.
The Hindu's fate may be settled this
afternoon. In any event, guilty OF
not guilty of bribery, he is likely tC
be deported on account of his being
alleged to have the disease of ira
choma.

WAGE SCHEDULE
ADOPTED TODAY

The trustees of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association reached a fipal
conclusion this afternoon on the i'm
portant question of plantation wages
for the coming year, and at three
o'clock gave out the following state
ment of it's intentions:
In the matter OF plantation wage
rates, the Trustees of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association have adopt
ed a policy whIcn it is believed will be
generally followed by the plantations,
subject to revision or change accord
ing to circumstances. 1t is intended
that the labOrers shall be paid, so far
as practicable, according 10 services
rendered, and to this end, that there
shall be as great an extension of the
contract system as may be feasible
and that the basis OF compensation un-
der the contracts shall be such as to
afford the contractors an opportunity
to earn no ess than $22 per month fol
26 days work.
Such of the laborers as are on q
day wage basis of $4,000 per month
and under are to be paid bonus al
the end of the year. The bonus is to
be paid to all such laborers who fol
twelve months average 20 days and
more per month; those who average

James F. Morgan, who returned to-
day on the Manchuria from a trip to
the coast, reports the same conditions
throughout the United States as others
who have just come back.
Everywhere l have been l have
seen signs of business activity, and all
over the country prosperity seems to
be holding forth.

gay times increased tremendously

boom did not seem to come.

Intentionally or not it came out in
the taking of evidence in the United
States District court this morning,
before Judge Woodruff, that the Fed
eral authorities are engaged in an in
vestigation of conditions relative to
labor in these islands, with view to
ascertalning whether the contract Ia
! Dor law is being violated.
The Hindu, Bhogornan, who is now
before Judge Woodruff for trial on
charge of attempting to bribe Immi-
grafton Chief Raymond G. Brown, ac-
oording to the surprising evidence un-
deliberately adduced this morning was
closeted in the office of United States
District Attorney Robert w. Breckons,
Raymond G. Brown also being present,
on or about November 16, about the
time of the Hindu's arrest, with the
express view of being examined as to
what he knew, If he knew anything,
about the method of his coming here,
as to how his fare was paid, as to what
work he expected to do, and as to what
he knew of other Hindus of his party
being here; how they came here, why
they were here, what work they ex-
pected to do, and numerous other ques-
tions bearing pertinently on the same
idea.
This had nothing to do with the
trial of the hindu above named fol
alleged bribery, nevertheless it crept
into the examination and the coss.

Rhogornan, a Hindu, head bowed
on hands, and mouth almost moisten-
ing the edge of the table set apart
for counsel, in U. S. Court this morn
ing, Judge Woodruff presiding, was
before a jury on an allegation of at
tempting to bribe Chief of Tmmigra
ton service. Raymond c. Brown.
U. S. District Attorney Rrackons re-
presented the government and Claudius
Mcbride appeared for the defense.
Mcbride started in by peremptorily
challenging four such well-known and
distinguished men (as talesmen) as
James McCandless, Gus Schaefer, j.
Steiner and the banker, Charles Hus-
tace When a nan gets challenged
thusly he feels that he has been slight
ed, though there is absolutely no rea-
son for such feeling. Nobody is sup
lposed to know why an attorney eXer-
cises his prerogative in challenging
talesmen.
There was a splendid combination
for an interesting stage setting, for
there were set in this contest for the
innocence or guilt of an alien, as re-
fined and educated a quartet of minds
as might be imagined. There was
Judge Woodruff on the bench Breckons
for the government, Mcbride for the
defense, and Raymond Brown on the
witness stand
Brown stated that the Hindu had OF
fered him twenty pounds if he woulC
let him into the country. Now Brown
is at the outer gate of this Territory
to keep out undesirables and he would
as soon think of flying as taking {
bribe. That is not the point. Th'
point is, did this alien offer the none.

PREPARING TO STRIKE.

President O'OOnnell, of the Inierns-
tjonsl Association of Machinists, has
sent out call for a general strike Of the
mschinists in the repair shops of the

Yesterday. The result Of that conference
will either be a settlement Of the difficult
ties between the men and the officials or
a general strike.

SPLIT UN RACE QUESTION.

Uoable to agree upon the terms OF
settlement, the officials of the Georgia
Railroad and OF the Brotherhood Of
Firemen have invoked arbitration under
the Erdmsu Law.
1! was nearly seven o'clock last night
when Commissioner Of Labor Neill and
Chairman Knapp, ofthe lnterstste Com
merce Commission, now In Atlanta,
reluctantly gave up hope of bringing the
warriDg elements together.
Commissioner Heill notified both
parties to the dispute to select an arbi-
traitor within five days. These two men
will select a third. The Erdman act
provides that, should the two srbitrst0rs
fail to sgree on the third member of the
commission, he will be named by Messrs.
Knapp and Neil. The decision of the
srbitraLors is made binding by law.
The disagreement came over the re-
tention of negroes. The fremen first
demanded the dismissal of all negroes
This was refused. After considerable
discussion the iremen submitted another
proposition. They agreed that those
negroes who were employed prior 10
April should be retained. Recent
promotions OF negroes bad been cancelled
before the men returned to work. The
brotherhood demanded that all white
firemen should have seniority over all
negroes. In addition, they asked that
at NO time should the number of negroes
employed exceed 25 per cent. Of the
white 6remen on the company's payroll.
Il at any time the number OF negroes
employed dropped below % per cent.
10 more were to be employed. 1t is
said that the Georgia Railroad might
have consented 10 this condition but for
the opposition OF the terminal company.
When the men returned 10 work
Saturday the railroad company agreed
that The status of April 10, when the
trouble began, should be restored. The
company had then promoted seVers!
negroes to good runs aud removed white
fremen to make room for them. ALREADY
the white fremen have been restored to
their old runs.
All disputed points aud demanda
were conceded except the seniority of
white men and the Limitation IS to ne
groes employed.
