OREGON HAS A SHOCKING MURDER
TO WORK

"The Japanese have been coming
more and more to believe that the best
method of settling labor difficulties in
these islands," said a Japanese Higher
Wage Association officer this morning,
lis for allthe strikers to return to
work on the plantations and leave it to
the good graces of the planters to
make things as agreeable as possible
fr the employees, both in regard to pay
and accommodations.
But what seems to have interferred
with a realization of this idea is the
continuation of arrests during the trial
of strikers originally apprehended for
disturbing the peace, and it is assured
that there will be no return to work
on the part of strikers until all this
court business has come to an end.
Some of the Aiea and Waipahr
strikers who have for so long been in
town are leaving this island for other
islands; few are leaving the Terri
tory, but those who do not leave this
island will refuse to return to the plan
tations until they see the wind-up Of
prosecutions"

On the other hand the defense might

There was not much of a case

to have harbored Hilda Moku who ran

the young ladys story seemed TO hang

AABEAS CORPUS WRIT
DENIED TO ATCHERtEY

Judge Robinson this morning de-
MED the petition of Mary Fl. Atcher-
ley on behalf of John H, Atcherley
for writ of habeas corpus to re-
lease him from the Insane Asylum.
DR.. Chas. A. Peterson, superinten-
dent of the Insane Asylum, in his re-
turn to the summons, recited the pro-
ceedings in the District Court of Ho-
nolulu leading to the judgment of
committal of Dr. Atcherley to the in
stitution and for further return de-
MED that John Atcherley was a per-
son of sound mind and alleged that
he was person insane and that the
public safety required his restraint ac-
cording to law. Also he denied that

Maxine by another name took a
committal to the Federal grand jury
today and though variety may be the
spice of life he did not seem to think
a variation from his multitudinous
experience Of being arrested by the
Territorial authorities during the past
two months was necessary to his en-
joyment Of existence.
There were all sorts of doings in
connection with his committal on the
charge stated in this paper yesterday,
Of having in possession indecent pic
lures intended for sale. AS Commis-
sioner George A. Davis was giving
out the case before hearing to a re-
Iorter he mentioned the accused as
Fired X. Higginbotham otherwise
known as Fred. K. Makino.'
District Attorney Breckons stand
ing by observed: "The United States
knows no alias in this case. Higgin-
botham is the man charged"
A little later Judge Davis, expro-
priating Clerk Murphy's chair, began
holding the examination. Assistant
District Attorney Rawlins was there
for the United States and J. Light
foot for Mak-Higginbotham Judge
Davis stated the charge and then
psked:
"Mr. Higginbotham, are you guilty
or not guilty2"
The accused, hesitating, looked to
his attorney.
"Is your name Higginbotham?" the
Commissioner then asked.

mony, summed up, amounted only to
this:
All Chung, the Chinese, asked one of
the girls if she had seen Hilda and If
she knew where that sprightly bit OF
femininity could be found, also if she
thought the government would object
if he married Hilda. The witness
told her mother, the mother told her
husband, the husband told a friend; /;
the friend told Leal; the Chief of De-
tectives told the Sheriff ;the Sheriff
issued an order, the order brought All
Chung into court, and All Chung got
soaked $50. -
An odd part of the case was when
All Chung was let out of jail to go and
find Hilda two days after she had re-
turned to the reform school, and when
he returned to the police station TO
say he could not find her, he was charg-
ed with harboring her from the police,
while she was in the reform school.

IMMIGRANTS
COMPLAINING

The Portuguese from Massachusetts,
who arrived here by the Aorangi this
morning to go to work on the local
plantations, were promised $25 per
month and board by the agent in Fall
River who hired them and in some
cases $40 week, an acre of land and
a furnished house to live in, was the
agreement made. AS the result the
immigrants are sore, the Planters AS
sociation representatives are sore and
the Board Of immigration has been
called in to see what can be done to
straighten out the mix up.
These men were sent here by Frank

Greece. In returning he spent some
little time in New York where he or
dered a complete furnishing for the

he said:

question, with advice of his counsel,
said he desired to waive examination.
The Commissioner proceeded to
commit the accused, stating that his
bail would be $250O He deemed it
necessary to call one witness, this be-
ing Deputy Marshal Holt who was
supposed to have made the arrest.
Holt threw the whole business on
it's beam ends by revealing that Hig-
ginbotham had not been arrested. He
was sent out to the Marshals Office
Tor the warrant but could not find the
document.
Judge Davis said that unless the de-
fendant was arrested there was no
hearing that day "You hold him un-
de: the warrant" From the clerk s
office he went to Marshal Hendry's
Office and asked the Marshal to return
with him and testify to Higginbo-
tham's arrest. In the doorway of the
Marshals Office there was some con-
versation, when Marshal Hendry
walked back to his desk.
Judge Davis proceeded to the clerk S
office, where he put on his hat and,
addressing the defendant and his at
torney, informed them the hearing
was off for the day.
Mr.. Lightfoot and his client at that
announcement, which meant that Hig-
ginbotham should spend Sunday in
jail, hurried into the District Attor-
neys office. They were followed by
Davis and Mr. Breckons ended all
talk by going out with them to the
Marshal's office. There the warrant,
that had been mislaid among other
papers, was found and served on Hig-
ginbotham.
The hearing and committal were re-
garded as having been valid and, on
motion of the United States attorney,

Peculiar Case of Paul Coli Puz-
zIes Lane Hospital
Physicians

Physicians in the Lane hospital are
confronted with medical puzzle in the
case of Paul Coli. who was placed on
the operating table thoroughly sane
and. a day following the operation.
became a raving maniac. Coli was re-
moved to the central emergency hospi-
tai yesterday and placed in a detention
ward. His case will be taken up by the
commissioners of insanity today.
Coli applied for relief at the central
emergency hospital at the beginning of
the week. but as he required an opera
tion he was removed to the Lane hos
pital to have it performed there Prior
to the operation he was asked whether.
in case of death. he had any objection
to the surgeons at the hospital per-
forming an autopsy on the body. Coli
said he had none. To safeguard them
selves against future trouble the hos
pital authorities went through the reg
ular formality of having the patient
give signed permission granting the
surgeons full liberty to investigate in
case he should not live.
few hours later he was given an
anesthetic. the operation was success
fully performed and Coli awoke to con-
sciousness. There seemed to be nothing
wrong with the man. He talked ration
ally and sanely and to all appearances
was on the road to recovery.
Wednesday night, however. Dr. Nc
Namara, the resident physician. was
startled to find that Coils mind had
given way and that ne had gone in
sane, his particular halIucination being
that white robed men were lowering
around him. desiring to cut out his
heart.
ST can not understand tt said Dr.
Mcnamara last night. The case came
to us from the city and we went
through the usual formalities of get
ting a signed permission for a further
examination in case death should re-
suit I believe I administered the
anesthetic myself The operation, as 1
remember It, was slight one, and at
its conclusion the man seemed to be
doing well. His sudden falling of mind
was totally unexpected and has created
great deal of comment among the
physicians who know OF it. Just what
the causes of It are am unable to say.
The probabilities are that the exami-
nation by the commissioners of in
sanity will bring out facts dealing with
the mans previous life which will
throw light on the problem"
