KINNEY TALKED
FOR THREE HOURS

Before the noon recess Mr.. Lightfoot
had been speaking for ten minutes in
his closing address to the jury in the
Waipahu riot case. He did not con-
tinue Immediately after recess owing
to a temporary diversion of the pro-
Ceedings.
Judge Ballou of counsel for the pro-
secution made motion to amend the
previously settled instructions to be
given by the court to the jury, which
Mr.. Lightfoot argued against but
which the court allowed. This was
to the effect that it was unnecessary
for the prosecution to prove every act
entering into the crime of riot.
Mr.. Lightfoot contended that unIaw-
ful assembly was an essential preli-
minary of riot, but Judge Robinson
ruled that it was sufficient to prove
the riotous acts charged in the in
dictment.
w. A. Kinney had concluded his ad-
dress to the jury for the prosecution
in the trial of the Waipahu riot case
shortly before IL noon today, when
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-07-16

he had held the forum for over three
hours, having begun his speech at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon He had
made an exhaustive review OF the evil
dence on both sides, frequently hold
ng up that for the defense 20 ridicule
as, in his view, carrying its own refu-

AS j. Lightfoot will no doubt speak
at some length in MS turn for the de-
Tense and the prosecution then have
the privilege of reply, it is far from
certain that the case will go to the
jury before the beginning of next
week
Judge Robinson removed the pro-
ceedings, for the closing arguments,
from his courtroom to that of Judge
Whitney which is much larger. There
were more spectators present this
morning, many being Japanese, than
at any time since the first day of the
trial, but this afternoon Maxine and
one or two others are the only fellow

A. |. CASTL.E:
QUITS JOB
BOOZE COMMISSIONER GOING ON
VACATION HAS HANDED RESIG-
NATION TO GOVERNOR.

Attorney A. L. Castle has presented
his resignation as a member of the
Liquor Commission of Oahu to Gov
ernor Frear~ Castle has taken this
action on account of the fact that he
leaves by the Korea on Tuesday for
a long vacation trip on the mainland
Whether Governor Frear will accept
the resignation offered or not is hard
to say 1t is generally understood
that he is very much pleased with
the work which has been done by the
present board and that he would like
TO see it remain as it is. 1t is possi-
bic, however that Castles resignation
may be accepted and no appointment
made till the return of F. l.. Waldron
from the Coast, which will be during
the month of August. Mr.. Waldron
was a member of the Liquor Commits
sion but resigned on account of his
absence on the Coast and it is pos
sible that he might be reappointed by
the Executive in Castles place.

A Japanese strikers road-agent,
whose business it is to spy Oil all who
work for the planters, Hayaguchi by
name, is in a cell at the police station
on charge Of assault with deadly
weapon on Kwing Sing, a Chinese, and
on j. Martinelli, a Portuguese, both
strikebreakers working at Waipahu.
When the Chinese and Portuguese
started to go to work this morning as
strikebreakers on Waipahu, Hayagu-
chi confronted them on the road, arm
ed with a murderous knife, and in foul
language upraided them for working
for the plantation.
Il fix you," he said, and made for
the Chinese and Portuguese, flourish

Kwong Sing took his heels and

Meanwhile the plantation police ar
rived and Hayaguchi was arrested and
brought into town on the train, to-
gether with the two complaining wit
nesses and a Hawaiian woman who
witnessed the whole affair.
The Hawaiian woman, who is mar
ried to a Chinese working on Wal

the plantation and threatening to take
their lives.
Hayaguchi is in for it not only on
the charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon but because he has disobeysd
the general injunction prohibiting in
reference with men working on the
plantations.
The police will make thorough in
vestigation with a view to ascertain
ing just where Hayaguchi got his Or
ders and under what system of out
lawry he was acting when he dared
to interfere with Kwong Sing and Mar
tinelli going to work. so that there
may be members in Honolulu OF the
Higher Wage Association who will
suffer for violation of the injunction.
M. f. Prosser appears for the Chi
nese and the Portuguese and will as

This is but an example of the man
ner in which the strikers hope to win
out against the planters and a sample
of the methods employed on all plan
tations where the Higher Wage Asso-
citation is operating. the system OF the
Higher Wage Association being one
of terror to all japanese who do not
conform 10 its ideas. According to this
mornings assault, however, the Higher
Wage Association highwaymen are go
ing outside of their own countrymen
and are now looking to interference
with strikebreakers. This is the first
incident of interference with strike
breakers and would indicate broaden
ing policy of attack or desperation at
the failure of the Japanese strikers to
succeed in their demand for higher
wages.

Solemnly impressive were the memo

Majestic theater had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion. Along the
apron of the stage a hedge of white
was placed. The stage
itself was arranged similar to an Elks
lodge room.
Exalted Ruler Leo V. Youngworth
and the officers of Los Angeles lodge
occupied their usual stations. Palms
and white crysanthemums were used
effectively in decorating the stage
proper.

The entire Pacific slope has had a
good drenching in the last twenty-four
hours due to a storm which originated
In the vicinity of Seattle and moved
south, turning east and north at San
Diego. The storm Is now centered
over the intermountain territory, which
is in for a heavy snow storm unless
all weather signs fail.
On Mount Wilson and Mount Lowe
ten inches of snow have fallen in the
last twenty-four hours. Many parties
have been formed to go up the sides
of the hills. and today it is expected
the Pacific Electric will have its hands
full to accommodate the crowds Of
winter pleasure seekers.
The storm yesterday was not un-
looked for Storm signals were or
dered out at all ports along the Pa
cific, but so far there have been no re-
ports of damage done by the high
winds at sea.
Practically everywhere along the
coast the weather yesterday was cold
and drizzlng. In Los Angeles fur
naces and heaters came in handy, for
it was one of the really cold days Of
the year. The precipitation in Los
Angeles was .3S of an inch, making a
total rainfall for the season to date
of 2.21 inches, 40 of an inch below the
normal fall for the season.
Today there may be some rain, but
II will not last long, according to the
weather bureau. The weather will
clear and there will be a brisk west
erly wind to dry up any mud caused
by the sudden downpour.

THEOLOGY JOINS RELIGION,
SAYS METHODIST PASTOR
Rev. George A. Henry of the West
Adams Street Church Speaks
on Mental Experience

"The True Man and Theology" was
the subject of the Sunday evening SER
mon by Rev. George A. Henry, pastor
of the West Adams Street Methodist
church. He said in part:
"Man is constitutionally, function
ally religious, and because religion
touches the total life of mans expert
ence. therefore, whether men will or
will not will, the die of theological
thinking is cast. In any mental COM
munity theology as inescapably fol-
lows religion as botany follows the
living plants, as physiology and anat-
omy follow the living human body.
1T used to be thought that theology
was the study exclusively about God.
This is still true; but new age has
come in the history of human think
ing. The advent of humanity is upon
us; the Epiphany of mankind has been
announced. For ages humanity has
been a racial commentary upon the
parable of the Prodigal Son. 1t has
taken it's portion of the fatherly pat
rimony, has gone into the far coun-
try, and on a universal racial scale it
has come to want, and this under the
awful compulsion of some fundamental
need unsatisfed. But like the immor-
tai parable that fell from the gracious
lips of our Lord, this parable does not
close in sin nor end in shame. The
supreme glory of humanity in all the
wasteful years of its prodigal wan
derings is the fact that slowly it has
been awakening to the thought of its
sonship; that by the potency of in
fuences greater than it knew it has
been coming to its own.
"And the coming of humanity to
it's own has been swift and beau
tiful during the nineteenth century
beyond the swiftness and the beauty
of any other century of human
history. Perhaps the most striking
evidence of this return is to be found
in the reconstruction that has taken
place in the science of theology. The
ology is now known to have two sides
"a human as well as a divine. No
modern work on theology attempts a
full discussion of the great theme with
out a place of the discussion of man
equal in Importance to that given to
the discussion of God Let no one
think therefore, that theology is a
back number. Be not quick in giving
heed to some superficial and careless
thinkers that the world has outgrown
theology. With the advent Of human
ity theology is coming to its own, and
not far from the throne of mans su-
preme sovereignty"

ARREST WOMAN ON
BURGLARY CHARGE
Police Regard Capture as Important
One and Believe Further lnVesti-
@ cation Will Reveal other
House Robberies

A woman giving her age as 26 years
and incidentally two names, May MOL
and Rosie Boozer, was arrested sat
urday by Detectives Boyd and Jones
and is confined in the city Jail with d
charge of burglary against her. She
will be held pending further inVesti-
cation.
Both names are believed to be flc-
titious and the police say they believe
the young woman is one of the clev-
crest house burglars who has ever OPP
Grated in Los Angeles. She admitted
last night she was guilty of two house
breaks, but 1t Is the opinion of the de-
tectives that further investigation Will
reveal the fact she sas near knoWl-
edge Of many robberies in the elite
residential district.
The detectives who made the arrest
did not give out the information until
last night, as they were in hopes OF
capturing a supposed accomplice OF
the accused woman, who Is said to have
played a prominent part in the bur-
glaries.
The woman said that she entered the
home of Fred Nelson, 935 South Olive
street, by means of a passkey and Sc
cured two diamond rings and a watch
valued at $3.50.
'I also entered a house in the West
lake district and stole some money

terviewed, "but 1 cannot remember the
number of the house. don't know why
1 did commit these crimes, and cannot
remember how many. l don't know
the name of my friend who assisted
me. In fact, my mind is blank on all
such subjects

lieved to be feigning insanity, as she
showed a remarkable lack of memory

she stated that she was born in tt
tusville Pa, and came to Los Angeles
from Buffalo, N. Y, and obtained en-
ployment as a stenographer for a firm

SWEDISH KING TO
MIX WITH W0RKMEN
Gustav, Disguised as a Stevedore,
Spends Day Carrying Sacks
of Coal from
Lighter

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 5.-King Gustav
on Saturday inaugurated a new de-
parture for soVereigns. Disguised as a
stevedore, he spent most of the day
carrying sacks of coal from a lighter.
In an interview after it was all over
the king said this was only the begin
ming. He intended to mix with all
classes of laborers, so that he might
ascertain their opinions and wishes.
Already, he added he had obtained
many valuable hints from men with
whom he worked.
The determination of King Gustav
to learn of the conditions of the
workingmen by mingling with them
and taking part in their labors has re-
suited from the recent great tie-up of
the business life of the country by a
general strike. King Gustav interviewed
last August in an endeavor to obtain
a compromise, but without avail. The
strike continued for months and in
volved thousands of men.
Eventually arbitration was under
taken by the Swedish government, and
in the interim many workmen returned
to their tasks, although the number
of unemployed remained large.
