At WORK WITH SEVEN
THOUSAND MEN OUT.
No Rioting at Acknowledgements Merchants
Association Opposed to Strikes Spreading
South American Schemes Sprung.

Seven thousand Japanese plantation
laborers are now involved in the labor
strike brought about by the agitators
of the Higher Wage Association. Wal
anae's laborers returned to their work
after brief walkout. and Waimanalo
is threatened.
ALI the plantations are able to keep
up their work in both mills and fields
and the strike is SO far not materially
affecting the planters except that the
cost of taking off the present crop has
been increased. At Aiea and Waipahu
the field and mill work is being done
by strikebreakers. Kahuku does not
need any outside help at present and
if Eva and Waialua need help strike
breakers can be procured.
The strikers are gradually coming in
to town and are being quartered mainly
in the Chinatown section.
Merchants Against Strikes.
At special meeting of the japanese
Merchants Association held yesterday
for the purpose of discussing the pend
ing labor situation, the following reso-
luton was passed and adopted, viz:
O Resolved, That we, the members
of this association, consider the present
situation, according to our observation,
such as to make the solution of the
question more difficult, if allowed to
take its present course; therefore be it
(2) Resolved, That this association
shall endeavor to prevent the spread
ing of strikes and cultivate better
understanding between capital and
labor for the furtherance of general
peace and prosperity, always maintain
ing an unbiased position between CAPT
tai and labor.
Coming From Maui (?)
A rumor reached town yesterday from
Maui that 600 japanese strikers would
arrive here ON the steamer Claudine.
The rumor was current among japanese,
but could not be confirmed by any of
the plantation agencies.
Feeding, % Cents per Day.
The agitators claim they have a
strike fund amounting to about $4,000,
and more contributions are expected as
additional plantations are affected by
the walkout. 1t is claimed that the
strikers IN town can be fed at the rate
of twenty-five cents per day each. Ma
kino claims there are between 1000 and
$500 strikers in town from Waipahu
and Aiea. A large delegation arrived
yesterday both by rail and by the coun-
ty road. The latter arrived with ban
ners flying.

plantations in the group has been call

ed. While no trouble is anticipated on
the other islands, it is thought advis-
able to have the managers meet and
discuss the situation.
The japanese Merchants Association
will do its part in preventing the spread
of the strike fever to the other islands,
and Yesterday wirelessed its resolutions
against the strike to the Hilo japanese
Association of Merchants.
Eva and Waialua on Strike.
The entire aggregation of japanese
laborers on Eva and Waialua planta-
tions concluded to strike yesterday
engaged in the sugar work were called
out, but the house servants as well.
This is in line with the action on the
Waipahu and Aiea plantations, causing
considerable personal discomfort to the
managers and leading field and office
employees. At Waipahu the manager and
the lunas and Office men began taking
their meals at the clearinghouse.
Kawailoa Men Forced Out.
When the japanese laborers on the
Waialua side of the Waialua plantation
walked out yesterday morning, they
found that the Kawailoa men had gone
to their work. A few hundred marched
over to the Kawailoa section and forced
the others to quit, thus stripping the
entire plantation of its japanese la
borers.

THREE DOCTORS
RACE FOR POSITION

DR. Raymond of Maui, DR.. A. \. Sin
clair, and DIR. Bruce Mackall are in the
race for city physician, or at least for
physician for the city station house and
county Jail. 1t seems likely that the
one who receives the billet will have to
look after the sick prisoners in both
jails, besides looking after the dispen-
sary and acting as city physician.
AS to the jailer of the county prison,
which is to come into being on July /,
there seems to be disposition On the
part of some of the supervisors to de-
volve that duty upon High Sheriff
Henry, the warden Of the Territorial

BAKER SPENDS
NIGHT IN CELL
Bigamy Charge Aftermath OF
His Marriage to Eva
Wallace.

Raymond NJ. Baker, the young man
SO prolific in promised explanations -
OF the numerous accusations against
him, spent the night in a cell at the
territorial prison, formal charge of
bigamy having been lodged against him
yesterday by United States District At
torney Breckons.
Upon the receipt of cablegram from
the United States Marshal at Chicago.
stating that Baker had a wife and
child in that city, District Attorney
Breckons had Baker brought before him
and gave the man an opportunity to
"explain," but the statement was not
satisfactory and as result Baker was
taken into custody and his bonds fixed
at $4,000 by the United States Com
missioner.
Mrs. Eva Wallace Baker still believes
in the innocense of the man who is
charged with a felony by reason of
his marriage to her. Bakers statement
that he is the son of an official of the
Union Stockyards Company of Chicago
has been verified by the cablegrams
that have been received, but it is also
stated that his father has disowned him
by reason of escapades in other parts
of the United States where Bakers
travels had led him.
Refuses to Talk.
Baker was diseonsolate looking
young man after his arrest and seemed
to feel his position keenly. He did not
care to talk about his predicament and
would say nothing beyond a promise to
make statement at the "proper
time. -
Mrs. Baker was still a guest at the
Honolulu Seaside Hotel last night, al.
though it was intimated by the man.
agement that there was pressing need
for a financial settlement, but that ac-
ton had been postponed on the request
of friend of the lady who said to
do nothing" until he was heard from.
Baker was not visited at the terri
torial prison by the woman he married
as result of the courtship on the Ala
media, and according to the attaches of
the prison, did not expect to see her
until today.

HEALTH RULES
Japanese lab0rers Thronqinq
City Will Have to Obey
Regulations.

President Mott-Smith of the Board
of Health is determined that there shall
be strict enforcement of all sanitary
rules and regulations by the large num-
bers of japanese that have gathered
in Honolulu since the beginning of the
labor difficulties on the plantations.
The Japanese laborers are being
crowded into small quarters set aside
for them by sympathizers, and there
have been indications that it will take
particularly determined efforts on the
part of the Board of Health agents to
see that the sanitary regulations are
not disregarded, thus jeopardizing the
health of the entire community.
sit is new question that has
arisen,' said President Mott Smith
yesterday, "and it is certainly impor-
tant that the influx of japanese labor
ers shall be controlled as far as the
enforcement of the health regulations
are concerned. It is matter that
affects the entire community and as
such will be dealt with according to

Districts Inspected.
1t is not improbable that some spe-
cial regulations will be drawn up to
meet the demands of the occasion,
which has arisen through the throngs
of Japanese laborers coming into the
city without proper accommodations to
provide for them for any length of
time
Recognizing the possible dangers that
were presented, President Mott-Smith
has made tour of the japanese and
Chinese quarters of the city and made
a personal inspection of the conditions
that now prevail.
The number of voorhees, laborers in
the city is increasing daily, and there
is disposition upon the part of many
at them to do about as they please.

At the corner of 10th street Carter was
standing as the runaway tore along the
crowded street. Quickly sizing up the
situation. he ran behind the wagon,
sprang in and took the reins from the
driver. AS the maddened horse crossed
the car tracks directly in front of the
post office. missing United States mail
wagon and carriage only by inches, he
gave one line SO sudden a jerk as to
throw the horse in its tracks.
Before 1t could struggle up, bystanders
had seized the bride and prevented more
trouble. One cause of the failure to stop
the horse by ordinary means proved to
have been defective bit. Purchasing a
new one at nearby store, Cohen re-
placed the old one and continued his
drive. There was no damage to the horse
or the wagons contents. which consisted
