.FIL|P|NOS WANT ALL
THEIR WAGE MONEY

MANILA, February 18.-The Secre-
tary of the Philippines Commission has
received a communication from Bishop
and Company, a banking house at Ho-
nolulu, in regard to certain differences
that have arisen between plantation
owners in Hawaii and Filipino laborers
employed on the plantations.
Some time ago, when the Hawaiian
sugar growers began recruiting labor
ers in the Philippines, the Insular gov
eminent made rule which fixed the
wages of such laborers at the same rate
received by laboTers of other nationali
ties of the same class, which for com
mon workmen was $1S per month. It
was stipulated that So a month should
be retained from each man s pay in
order that enough would accrue dur
ing the life of his contract to insure
his return passage to the Philippines.
Quite a number of Filipinos went to
Hawaii under these stipulations, but in
the course of time began to get dissat-
isfed and finally protested to the In
sular government that they were not
properly treated. Investigation proved
that plantation owners were living up
to the terms of their contracts, and
the workmen We're inclined to be dis
satisfied simply because they were not
receiving the full $1S per month.
The letter received by the Secretary
to the Commission relates in detail the
result of visit paid to the various
plantations by a representative of BIZ
shop and Company, and states that the
Fi1ipinos are all in good health and are
being well treated, but that certain
portion of them desire to have their
wages in full and to take chance on
paying their own fare back to the Phil
ippines whenever they desire to leave
the plantations.

THE DAYS DO|NCS IN
BOTH HOUSES Of THE
ISLAND LEGISLATURE
House Members Sore
at the Press Critics
and They Threaten
Banishment.

The awful dignity of the House of
Representatives has been ruffled. So
badly has the Keen sting of criticism
been felt by the honorable members
that yesterday morning Speaker Hol-
stein waved the big stick at the press
table and uttered dire threats of ban
ishment for any writer who dared as
much as hint that there could be any
brain storm, even the slightest symp-
tom of ruffle in the thinking appara-
tus of any of the honorable members,
any symptom that anyone was falling
short of the wisdom of Solomon, the
purity OF a vestal virgin or the logic of
Socrates.
Perhaps the Speaker was angry. That
could not be told because he has a way
of concealing his emotions, hiding them
all behind a mask of most intense
gravity. But some of the honorable
members were mad, clean through. The
scurrilous scribblers who try to put
some of the honorable members verbal
entanglements into plain English had
put it too plain. One or two of the
press representatives had ventured to
give their opinion IF some o. the a1n
orable members and these opinions had
been the holding of the mirror up to
nature and the pictures had not been
pretty ones.
81 trust such articles will not appear
again. said the Speaker, who added
that if they did, the offending writer
would be cast into the uttermost dark
ness of the great outside and not be
allowed to poke his desecrating nose or
his truthful pencil within the sacred
portals of the House.
The press table shook under the
trembling hands of the press writers
as they tried to bluff at taking notes of
this warning.
Then, to put the seal of authority
upon this weighty warning, the Speaker
quoted some the rules of the House.
This rule forbade any reporter from
abusing or "being discourteous to
any honorable member.
A close scrutiny failed to bring to
! light any rule prescribing censorship
over the press or any embargo upon
giving a reading public a fraction of
the truth.
The Speaker concluded by remarking
on the personal friendly feeling that
existed between himself and the mem.
bers of the press gallery. He was right
in this, the press table sentiments in
that regard being in line with his con-
Guiding remark.
Speaker Holstein was placed in an
| awkward position. Two or three fatu-
Gus members of the House, not under
standing that the Third House has quite
as much liberty in expressions of opin-
ion as themselves, and overcome with
the tremendous idea of their own i'm
| portance, have been Fostering. the
! Speaker to take some action against the
press writer's. threatening to rise to a
| question of privilege otherwise and spill
out their ignorant ideas upon the floor

CAN ONE LIVE ON
$50 4 MONTH?
Woman Presents This Nut for
the Legislature to
Crack.

'tSome of US are looking forward to
old age. / AM speaking now for the
rank and file of the teachers, those
who are getting from $50 to $50 a
month. L. ask you, gentlemen, how
much could you save on $50 month. -
In these words did woman last
night at the public meeting of the
Educational Committee of the House
of Representatives, held in the Throne
room of the Capitol, put her finger on
the sore spot and show the Legislators
what it is they are proposing to do
when they contemplate cut in the
salaries of the teachers in the public
schools.
Many other speakers had addressed
the meeting before Miss Agnes Judd,
herself one of the teachers for whom
she spoke, was called upon. They had
dealt with generalities, made speeches,
essayed flights of oratory, discussed
the matter pro and con from almost
every standpoint but that of the teach
er. Miss Judd got up, evidently
bristling with indignation from the top
of her head to the tips of her toes,
and proceeded to make the speech of
the evening.
Fifty dollars a MONTH That was
the burden of her plant. What could
be done on salary of that amount
What amount of decent clothes could
be purchased with salary less than

=: the inquest last evening over the
reIna.f4s of Robert II. Riedel, who e,m-
mitted suicide on Sunday niEnt at a
Beretania avenue boarding hons :, some
letters written by Mr.. Riedsl's wife
from Milwaukee threw some light On
his reason for ending his life.
In one or two letters the wife gent
~ upbraided her husband for not writ
ing to her. She wrote from Milwau-
kee and was apparently with some rel
atives of her husband. She said that
she had expected a bundle of letters
written upon the steamer while her
husband was en- route from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu, and that it was her
hope that he had written every day.
These letters she expected could be
mailed from Honolulu, and she said
she had been very happy in thinking
of the time when she would receive
them. But not letter had she got.
She hoped he was well and doing well
in business way. Her letters were
those of a gentlewoman, full of love
for her husband.
She said she had held the news back
from the family of her lack of letters
or news from him. and trusted that
no scandal would arise. She said that
she intended to visit one of the finest
fortune -tellers in Milwaukee to tell her
fortune and his, too.
She referred often to his business
and felt that he would do well in
Honolulu with some bonds. She said
she had heard from his partner in Oak
land. that he had written $4,000 worth
of insurance recently.
One or two of her letters were found
torn up and the scraps were carefully
gathered by Deputy Sheriff Rose and
pieeed out, as it was thought they
might give the key to the reason of
his rash act. Apparently there had
been some constraint between the

MANY ASPIRE TO PRESIDENCY
OF HAWAirS HEALTH BOARD

ing for the presidency for some time,
and, being a close friend of Speaker
Holstein, is said to expect the support
of the latter.
Then another slate has appeared with
the name of C. A. Brown, strangely
enough, for president, and James Holt
as secretary The slate also contem-
plates putting in some one else as sup
erintendent of the Leper Settlement,
vice Jack McVeigh. Mrs. Atcher1ey,
according to rumor, has something TO
do with this slate also, and her hus-
band IS name is again connected with
the hope of landing the Kalihi receiv-
ing station job. In the background
looms up the personality of Attorney
Magoon, who in the event of this ticket
being successful would be groomed for
a vacancy in the membership of the
Board of Health.
The name of Fred Beck1ey, in oppo-
sition to those who have been carefully
making up states, has also been pro-
posed for the presidency of the board.
Mr.. Beckley is said to have plans IN
mind that would create radical change
in the methods of the Board of Health
and the relations of the community
with the Settlement. his effort being to
modernize its procedure, and to give
more attention to enabling proper med
zeal investigation of the disease OF
leprosy.

EDDIE TAFT GOT
into MORE TROUBLE

MANILA, February 16.-The habeas
corpus proceedings in the case of Ed
win TAFT were dismissed this morning
by the Supreme Court. TAFT was put
over the side of the transport Thomas
yesterday at Mariyeles in keeping with
wireless telegram sent by General
Bliss. Mr.. TAFT s brother standing
good for his behavior while in Manila,
the case has been dropped.
When the Thomas was ready to sail
on Sunday the transport quartermaster
called on the chief of police for two
stowaways who had been taken off the
vessel on her arrival here. The Jap
anese stowaway has been kept locked
up at the Luneta station and was on
hand for return TO Nagasaki. TAFT, the
remaining stowaway, was in Cavite and
detectives were dispatched there TO
make the arrest They brought him to
this city and placed him on launch
bound for Mariveles where he was TAX
en- on board the transport.
General Bliss was then appealed to,
to have the man put ashore and he COM
piled with the request. When the case
came up this morning before the court
no defense was made, and the transport
having sailed yesterday the case was
dropped.

Althouoh the legislature has not yet
begun to wrangle over Board of Health
matters, and little discussion has thus
far been raised as to treatment OF lep-
ers, or the personnel of the board STAN
etc. vet outsiders have been busy put
tonholing members of both houses ana
MANY plans have been laid to obtain
control of the board by at least four
factions.
1t is said that Mark Robinson, presl-
dent of the Board of Health, is deslrous
of LAYING aside the mantle of authority,
and for this reason aspirants for the
coveted office are becoming pientlfui
and also very busy. John G. Lane,
candidate on the Republican ticket tor
mayor in the last campaign, is at the
head of one of these states, and for
secretary the name Of james Holt, at

There is to be public meeting held
in the House some evening this week
to discuss the Moore whisky bill from
the standpoint of the liquor interests.
This meeting will probably be an
nounced today.
From present indications, it appears
that the bill will pass the House in its
amended form, the general eoneensus
of opinion being that its teeth have
been pretty well drawn. 1t is likely,
however, that it will be further amend
ed, so as to prevent an appeal from
the decision of the License Commission
ers in cases of application for new
licenses.
Another amendment that viii he add
ed on, or attempted, will be one to pre-
vent the sale of such aduIterated liquors
as the class known as ''dago red. -
