Cut Is Significant

water.
- Cut Is Significant
... It is a significant fact that the inde-
pendent steamship line was TO be
: launched on the theory that 20 per
= cent reduction in existing water rates
: was possible. That was the statement
/ made before the meeting Of business
men by H S Bates Of the shipping
. firm Of Bates < Chesebrough, who are
. at the head OF the movement for the
= new service.
1t was stated yesterday by number
Of big shippers that the ruse of the
Pacific Mail was too manifest to de-
: -oelve any one. 1t was the opinion of
these men that the new rates had been
put into effect merely to end the agi-
tation for an Independent line. and that
= as soon as this had been accomplished
2 the higher tariffs would again be made
effective. 1t was given out officially
that the Independent project would go
forward without interruption.
1t viii be the plan of the Pacific Mail
TO tie local shippers up with term con-
tracts so as to leave no business
for. the proposed line. No success was
achieved in this direction yesterday.
however, as he agents Of the Pacific
Mail received no promises of extensive
shipments.
The theory was also advanced yester-
day that the Pacific Mail. by soliciting
business at time when little freight
was moving. would endeavor to per-
suade the officials of the Panama rail-
road that there was not enough traffic
to warrant the encourag cement of the
Bates and chesebrough line. In order
that the government officials might not
be deceived, telegram explaining the
situation was sent at once by members
of the traffic bureau of the Merchants
exchange TO William R. Wheeler at
washington.
Some Concessions Gained
In cutting the through rates TO bed
rock the Pacific Mail company is avail
ing itself Of the offer Of the Panama
railroad and steamship company to
enter. into any tariff as low as IS a ton
The same conditions which were Of
fered to Bates & Chesebrough have
been extended to the Pacific Mail
A significant feature Of the action
or the Pacific Mail in soliciting freight
at the lowered schedule was the fact
that the companys agent was accom-
panied yesterday in his visits to the
local merchants by J. p. Williams, the
local representative OF the Panama
railroad company.
Joseph Durney Of the governing COM
mittee of the traffic bureau of the
merchants exchange expressed the
sentiments OF the shippers when he
said:
This cut in rates is merely for the
purpose Of forestalIng the movement
Tor an independent steamship line It
viii not stop us
II. s. Bates expressed the belief that
the Pacific Mail had forced a crisis in
the shipping situation
This move should not fool any one,y
said Bates. 1T has brought about
crisis that we should be prepared to
meet. How comes it that Mr. Harri-
man increases rail rates 10 per cent
and decreases water rates 20 per cent?
Why does he do this? It is too evident
10 merit reply. He wants 10 create his
own competition. IT is. Of course,
merely a stratsgem to block an inde-
pendent line It ought to fool no one
Rates are put down TO discourage the
proposed service. II they are success
ful in this. then rates viii go up again
70 their old figure"

Veteran Letter Carrier Found

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April 10.-Benjamin F.
Holland. who has been a letter carrier in
the general post office here for forty
years, was arrested today by Post Office
Inspectors Jacobs and James on the
charge of stealing letters intrusted to him
for delivery. Hollands district covers d
large part of William street and the sec
ton known 'the Swamp For sew
eral months past letters have been disap-
pearng in that district and the two i'm
spectors used their customary experiment
of sending test letters through the mails
without result. In each case the test let
ters were put in the way of. every car
rier on the route except Holland. No one
suspected him because of his long service.
1t was finally decided to try the test let
ters on him. The two letters sent out
were addressed to Klauberg Bros. IL,
William street. and the Panama Hat
Company. 1S1 William street. the one let
ter containing $1.JO in marked money and
the other 81. When the inspectors ap-
preached Holland today and searched him

raigned before United States Commits

CREEKS ASK PROTECTION.
Many Red Men Arrested as Sym
pathizers With Crazy Snake.

The commissioner of Indian affairs re-
ceiyed word yesterday afternoon from
Oklahoma to the effect that the militia
of that state, in its efforts to round up
the members of the Crazy Snake band
implicated in the recent outbreak, are
arresting full-blooded Indians who are
in no manner connected with the Snakes
or their troubles.
The communication came from Eu-
faula Harjo, head man of the four ma
tions' council He asked that the gen.
eral government interpose to prevent the
promiscuous arrest of innocent Creeks,
ard that those already in custody he re-
leased.
II appears that the state officers be-
lieye there was conspiracy against the
law officers in which many Creeks We're
secret participants. They are therefore
arresting many men who are not only
innocent of participation in the out
break. but who are actual enemies of
the Snake faction.
The Indian office instructed Agent Kel-
sey. who is on the ground in Oklahoma,
to give protection to the fuli-blocded In
dams who are enrolled and are not fol-
lowers OF Crazy Snake. The commune
cation received from Eufaula Harjo
yesterday may cause the acting COM
missioner of Indian affairs 10 take far
ther steps to protect innocent red men.

DELAY ACTION
ON INJUNCTION
Judge Robinson Grants a Con-
tinuance Until Friday
Morning.

No action was taken by Judge ROD
inson Yesterday in connection with the
order to show cause why temporary
Injunction should not be granted, re-
straining Maxine and thirty-two Other
Japanese from interfering with the
operation of the Oahu Sugar Company
The hearing on the order was ret for
o clock Yesterday afternoon. Attor-
ney Kinney for the prosecution urged
that the injunction ease should be DIS
posed of without delay while Attor-
ney Lightfoot, for the defense, argued
in favor of continuance.
Mr.. Kinney insisted that an early
decision on the injunction question was
of vital Importance and that 1T was
the usual procedure to dispose of eases
of the kind with as much promptness
as possible.
Judge Robinson finally decided that
continuance until Friday morning
would be fair under the circumstances,
the jury in the riot case now before
the court being excused until Mon
day.
High Sheriff Henry was busy yes
terday serving copies of the injunction
bill of complaint upon the defendants
named, service being had on j. Tasaka,
NJ. Yamashiro. K. Kawamura, I. Saito,
K. Ono, f. K Maxine, NJ Negoro, Mi
auchi, Migawa, Fuchino and Y. Sega.
Fuchino and Kawakami were ar
raigned III Judge De Bolt s department
of the Circuit Court yesterday on the
charge of falsely imprisoning Tsunoda,
Tsuzuki and FL. Tsunoda, next We'd
nesday being fixed as the day upon
which they must enter plea to the
charge. The defendants were repre-
scented in court by Attorney Lightfoot.
Several witnesses were called for
the defense yesterday in the riot cases
and subjected to searching cross exam
nation at the hands of Attorney Kin
new. They all made lame attempts to
show that there was not large gath
ering of japanese at Waipahu on June
s and that, in fact, they did not know
what the police officers were there for.
Jotaro Mikawa, one of the leaders
in the riot, was placed on the stand
and according TO his version of the
affair it was simply gathering of
orderly japanese for discussion of
the weather. Under the cross examin-
alton by Kinney it was shown that Mi
kawa was new arrival at the plan
tation, and although he admitted be-
ing in the crowd on June S at Wal
pahu he denied doing anything that
could be construed as an act of vio-
lence.
Akiama, employed as a salesman in
japanese store at Waipahu, was
placed on the stand by the defense,
but he could not or would not shed
much light on the events leading up
TO the riot and apparently did not wish
to commit himself one way or the
other.
An early adjournment was taken to
allow the hearing on the order to show
cause in connection with the motion
made by the attorneys for the Oahu
Sugar Company for the issuance of a
temporary injunction, restraining the
members of the Higher Wage Associa-
tion from interfering with the free
and uninterrupted operation OF the
plantation.
