Curriden Makes Reply.

This WAS the statement made by S.

ton Market Company. this morning NJ.
Curriden also exhibited the correspond
ence concerning the evacuation OF tha
brothers and made a statement concern
ing their tenure OF the stall.
The lease Df the BOWIings expired
on June 80, MIR. Curriden declared. "At
that time we refused 10 grant q new
lease, explaining 20 the brothers WHY
we did not wish TO do so. Apparently
the best feeling prevailed. We offered
70 allow them to continue running the
lunch room until they had decided upon
another location. Early in July notice
was given them 10 vacate
'On July 81 they came here and maid
their rent for August to a clerk who
did not know the circumstances. An
other notice was sent them 70 vacate 5v
August 81. and they were told that thev
would be considered trespassers If they
remained there after that date.
They claimed that the acceptance
OF rent for the month OF August was a
virtual renewal Of their lease. Then we
wero compelled TO take more drastic
measures
In explanation Of the refusal Of the
lease Mr. CuTiden said the market
officials wished 70 make certain changes

suggestions. To was considered that

and, when Giichi refused to go out on
strike with the rest of the japanese
laborers, Takahashi told some Of his
friends to go and fix Giichi; whereupon
five gamblers went to Giichi s house
and, in spite of brave fight Giiehi
put up, he was oeercome by the num-
Der of his assailants who tied him up
with rope and brought him first to
the meetin@ place, and thence took
him on a wagon into cane field where
about thirty of the gamblers kicked
and beat him almost to death.
according to the order of their
head man they did not use any knife
or other weapon. This is for the pur-
pose OF avoiding the chargetof criminal
assault in case of arrest. Takahashi,
the head Of the hui, came today to
consult with President Maxine of the
Higher Wage Association who wrote
to Sheriff Jarrett yesterday that he
regretted the occurrence and that he
would willingly render any help for
the prosecution of the assailants;
whereas he has been in fact in CON
sultation with the head man of the
hui.
cit is rumored that the Deputy Sher-
if of the district is very friendly with
Takahashi who received many favors
from the official in the past and was
always very considerably treated by
the officer, though he is head of a
gambling hui. This seems to account
for his non-arrest, although it is ap-
parent that he is connected with the
assault.
"The present trouble between the
planters and strikers became at last
fight between a decent and respect
able class of japanese and the thugs
and gamblers, because the higher wage
,agitators are using gamblers and loaf
ers as their agents. Up until ten years
ago this class was on top and respect
able merchants and citizens were black
mailed. Afterwards they were broken
up, but they are taking advantage in
the present agitation again to come
up. Eighty per cent. of the strikers
now in town want to go back to work;
they are trying to find some excuses
to go back. But they are marshaled
skilfully by the agitators, who put
the strikers in different quarters diff
ficult for outsiders to approach them,
and with every ten men one thug IS
placed as their corporal, so that those
under him cannot do anything at all.
They are entirely under the influence
of the agitators' agents at present,
actually imprisoned with two meals a
day.
