The injury to his skull is said to have
been caused by blows on the head with

automobiles ran the gauntlet of fire

through the firing lines and pedestrians

recognized and remembered people who
visited him. His mind went back dl-

ceived his injury. Among others he
recognized DR.. Cooper and spoke OF an
incident of the '95 days. Yesterday he
referred to various trinkets worn by
those around him and conversed freely
about them.

of an experiment, yet, the present indi
cations favor the recovery Of the pa

BONNIE FILMS

Alive.

Three thousand two hundred feet of
moving-picture films and not less than
240 lantern slides Of scenes IN the Ha-
waiian Islands will be used to illustrate
Alaska Yukon Exposition this summer.
The films and slides will be furnished
by R. K. Bonine, the moving picture
expert, the matter being settled at a
meeting Of the Exposition Commission,
ers held yesterday afternoon.
1t was decided that for a forty min
ute lecture in the auditorium, which will
be controlled by the United States gov
eminent and allotted to the various ex-
hibitors, that at least sixty slides and
500 feet of film could be used for each
lecture. It>may be that more film will
be used but 500 feet will be the mini
mum contracted\ for by the commits
sioners. It is expected that lectures
will be made not only by Lloyd Childs,
who will be in charge of Hawaii s ex.
hibit at the exposition, but by Homo
lulu visitors. Commissioner Knudsen
expressed his willingness to speak and
there is assurance of volunteer force
of able speakers who will present Ha-

care there any more inhuman and
cold blooded than the Hawaiian plant
ers?' asks the Nippu Jill, ina its issue
yesterday, answering its own query in
its own particular way, continuing:
"We think not. We shall never find
more covetous people than they in the
whole world. The most pitiable people
are those who are employed by these
planters, who forget the kindresses and
the help of others. The ones who most
deserve sympathy in this world are the
resident japanese laborers.'
The Jill gives an alleged list of com
parison Of the wage scales of the differ
ent nationalities represented among The
plantation laborers; dwells on the des-
titution to be found in the Japanese
plantation camps, and hands out the
usual compliments to its contemporaries
of traitors, dogs and spies.
"Why do not the planters raise the
wages?' it demands. GLOW can they
answer the charges against them of
avarice, inhumanity and cold-hearted-
ness?'
That the present anti-Japanese agita-
ton in California is a part of long
distance plot on the part of the planters
is a grave assurance of the Jill, who
refers to that part of the nefarious
conduct of the Hawaiian planters as
threading down the treaty rights of the
japanese and treating us as they do
the Chinese" while President Roose-
welt, himself, comes in for the censure
of the japanese paper, his enforcement
of the restriction clause of the immi.
grafton law being styled San unlawful

The Federal grand jury did not call
any witnesses in the japanese agitation
matter yesterday, but action on the part
of the jury is expected within short
time.

|. Clear Views on Pressing
Needs of This Ter
ritory.

CT am both surprised and sorry to
see that a small portion of the public
and the press is opposing the suspen-
sion of the Coastwise Laws" stated
Governor Cleghorn yesterday. In their
opposition, from whatever cause it
arises, they are opposing the vital in
terests of the Territory for a few ship
owners who have shown the Territory
little consideration. Open ships with
regard to passenger traffic means more
passengers for the American ships, in
the long run, and much more freight.
The application of the Coastwise Laws
TO Hawaii is a gross absurdity and
something which was never inteded
when the laws were passed.
'.In my opinion there is nothing now
so detrimental to the advancement of
these Islands as the present shipping
laws. We are losing tourists, we are
losing the money we are spending to
develop a tourist traffic and we are los

not only ungrateful but ludicrous and
are doing ourselves an injustice for the

the extent of the heart of the Chinese
section downtown. There, after the
bombardment, the streets were ankle
deep in frazzled red papers, and the
fact that no fire alarms were turned
in was one of the incomprehenslble an
