CONSPIRACY To MURDER Is
CHARGED AGAINST STRIKERS

! to dos At what point of inaction viii
! the government be free from the crit
| icism of the defense?
Evidently he thinks that he is be
| ing tricked if these men are not turned
loose and lose their identity among ths
| three thousand other Japanese from tn,
| plantations. / understand this matter
was left open for the very purpose fol
which we have come into court.
There are thousands of other citi
zens here who have rights in this com
munity and whose welfare is also com
united to the vigilance of police of
fcers.''
Where Is Hotta?
Mr.. Kinney later on referred to the
low bail which the defense wanted. He
inquired about Hotta, whom he said
was with Fred Maxine in an auto, with
Maxine, that lover of the public
peace. " Mr.. Kinney said he under
stood that Maxine had expressed
regrets that his followers should have
misunderstood him. ct now give pub
lie notice that any information of Mr..
Hotta viii be received with pleasure, y
and Mr.. Kinney beamed upon Fred Ma
kino.
At this time Mr.. Kinney and the
High Sheriff began to segregate the
prisoners into three groups, respective
ly labelled "rioters," "conspirators, -
and gamblers, :" there being three or
four of the latter, Fujikawa, well
known in police circles, being the fore
most.
Lightfoot's Motion Denied.
/. Mr.. Lightfoot asked for a ruling on
his motion to discharge the writ and
the court denied the same. Mr. Kin
ney then announced that he had war
rant for the arrest of number of the
men on a charge of rioting.
The men were then discharged, fol-
lowing which came the spectacular ar
rest downstairs.
A Settling Caldron.''
1t was wise thing to have issued
the order few days ago preventing
assemblages of japanese in the vicinity
of the courthouse, - said court officer.
When the shout went up down stairs,
it is quite likely that the crowd out
side, had there been one, would have
rushed irresponsibly into the building
and melee would have resulted. They
say that everything is orderly among
the Japanese strikers. If the ecommu-
nifty only knew, it is a seething caldron
underneath the surface, fed and main
tanned by the anarchistic teachings of
Negaro, whom I regard as man dan
gerous not only to the japanese but to
! the rest of the community. The com
munity should not be lulled into toe
deep a sense of security, for we are fac
ing an industrial crisis which may
shake US to the foundations, but it will
not be directly from the present
strike.'
Work at Waipahu Today.
The half hundred japanese who re-
turned to Waipahu plantation on the
9th and 10th instant will go ont to
| work today, having tired of the mac
tivity of striking. 1t is expected they
will be joined by others.
Makino's Art Collection.
It is said that among the treasures
found in the papers seized in Maxine e
safe were a collection of the flthiest
of pictures, of the kind which are under
i the police ban.
Working at Aiea.
Half of the japanese who returned
/ to Aiea plantation are at work as usual
i They are working with the strike
breakers. About 100 of the latter viii
be sent to the plantations today.
