land navy yard. The members of the
Navy Committee, who will comprise
most of the party, are going to Homo
lulu in large part for the purpose of
inspecting the work and the prospects
at Pearl Harbor, near Honolulu. The
government is going to spend vast
deal of money there, as it will do, in
lesser degree, at Mare Island. The
projects at both yards are correlated
in fashion, because of the general
program for the upbuilding of the
Navy on the Pacific. Hence the Con
gressmen feel that it would be very
desirable for them to devote spare time
to Mare Island, rather than to the
Sacramento River.
The President s Invitation.
Mr.. Mcclellan called yesterday upon
President Taft to urge upon him the
invitation of the Chamber of Com
merce to visit Hawaii during the pres
ent summer. The President expressed
his appreciation of the invitation but
said he probably would be unable to
accept.
The tender of the invitation, as an
evidence Of the good will of the people
of Hawaii was very gratifying to the
President, who took occasion to EN-
phasize his feelings Of friendship for
the Islands.
Representative Rodenburg, of Hi
nois and Mr.. Mcclellan went to the
Treasury Department this morning to
urge expedition in the procedure fol
preparing plans for the public building
at Honolulu

Plantations Are Quiet.

Everything is quiet at the planta-
tions. There is a guard of ten special
police at Kahuku as that place is not
connected with Honolulu by telephone
or telegraph wires and means of COM
munication are slow. There are many
blind pigs in that neighborhood and
the planters are taking no chances of
trouble through the strikers drinking
too much and starting a riot or fires
while under the influence of liquor.
The contract laborers at Waimanalo
have returned to work and everything
is quiet there. There are japanese
at work only at Waianae and Wal
manalo, the two smallest plantations
ON the Island. The other five, Aiea,
Waipahu, Eva, Waialua and Kahuku
are all running with the aid Of strike
breakers.

The senators of the committee also
want to know more about Mr.. Wood

the Channel wharf and beyond where
the sampans herd together, there was
general expression of dissatisfaction
that the Japanese fishermen should be
called on to supply food for the
strikers.
Busily engaged with nets or tackle,
preparing to go out to fish for their
scanty living, the little brown sea
toilers grunted disapprovingly when
they were asked about the strike. Many
of them refused to say anything but
some of them were not so tongue-tied

The Congressional Party.

Californians have been active here
in trying to persuade the big party of
Congressman, who are going to Hawaii
in July, to tarry sufficiently long to
sail down the Sacramento River from
Sacramento to the ocean. A few mem
bers of the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee will probably be of the party,
and might acquire from the trip some
additional information, from personal
knowledge, of the advantages of that
waterway and Of the benefits to COM
merce that would accrue from its fur
Their improvement. Representative
needham of Modesto has been urging
the water trip and has been around
to see Mr.. George B. Mcclellan, of
Honolulu, who has charge here of the
plans.
Thus far Mr.. Mcclellan has been
| unable to give the Californians any
encouragement. The Congressman ex-
pect to arrive at Sacramento, according
to the itinerary already arranged, July
81. A banquet is being arranged in
San Francisco in their honor for that
evening and, as matters stand now, the
party win sail for Honolulu on July
%. Those plans seem to preclude the
water trip on the Sacramento. There
| is possibility of the date of depar-
! ture from San Francisco being de-
ferred by delay in the adjournment
of Congress. 1t seems fairly certain,
| however, that Congress will have com
pleted the tariff bill by July Is, which
is about the latest date Representatives
of the Navy and Rivers and Harbors
Committees could leave Washington in
| time to reach San Francisco by July
%.
| Still another objection raised to the
! sail down the Sacramento is that mem
bers of the Navy Committee hope to
get few hours for a trip of inspee-
ton and observation at the Mare Is

Mass Meeting Tonight.

A mass meeting has been called by
the Higher Wage Association at the
Ouchi camp on King street tonight
Maxine and his followers have been
working hard on this proposition and
they expect to have a large represen
tation of local japanese. 1t is doubt
full, however, if they win receive as
unanimous an approval of their prop

on the plantations, where they have
only dupes to deal with.

Inside Story of Assault.

Speaking Of the recent cowardly as7
sault on Giichi, prominent Japanese
who is in a position to know all the
facts of the case, said:
When the present agitation was
IN its first stage, about thirty Japa-
nese gamblers living near Eva, formed
a secret society with one Takahashi as
its head. These gamblers were grad
ually getting influence among their
countrymen when branch of the
Higher Wage Association was formed
at Eva. The gamblers hui backed
the association seeing that in doing
so they might make some money.
Afterwards they became stronger
as the higher wage agitation became
more popular. The gambling hui be-
gan to take a part in the agitation,

of them refused to say anything but
some of them were not so tongue-tied
Veteran Fisherman Talks.
A veteran fisherman who is in com
mand of one of the larger sampans
fitted with gasoline engine, a man
who probably brings in larger catches
than any of the fleet, and with a
better knowledge of English than any
of the fishermen, said, 81 no like give
my fish away all the time. I see
Japanese boy got no money, got no
work, he hungry, I give him fish to
eat. But I no like go catch fish, pay
men, pay gasoline, work hard all the
time and give fish to sugar men I no
get big price fish. I work hard pay
for engine, pay for sampan, pay ev-
erything. I give fish away I no can
pay"
And that seemed to be the general
sentiment. This, of course, is covered
to great extent by loyalty to coun-
try and fellow-countrymen but they
seem to realize that the strike is caus-
ed by outsiders For Maxine and Ne
goro they apparently have little use.
This was shown when jocular haole
hailed the japanese who had kindly
consented to act as interpreter, as
'HHalloo there, you Charlie Maxine"
There was an appreciative but some
what sardonic laugh by all the little
brown workers who heard it and the
butt of the joke translated a remark,
made by one of the fishermen, as .Ma-
kino, he no come by sampan, water
too wet maybe.'
Assault Due to Agitators.
Four Japanese strikers who were i'm
plicated in the assault on Giiehi, the
Eva laborer, were brought in to town
yesterday under arrest and placed in
Jail. Their victim is at present in the
Oahu jail hospital where his broken
bones have been set and his wounds
dressed.
An investigation was held at Eva
and it came out that the assault was
made entirely at the instigation of the
agitators. The four men arrested were
Yoshita, Murakami, Koyama and Iva
ia. At a meeting of the Eva High
Wage Association it was decided, after
u
conference with the Honolulu head
quarters, to send three men out to bring
| Giichi in and arraign him before the
meeting.
| Kurami, Koyama and Iwata were
sent out to fetch him in and they
| brought him back with broken arm
and bruises all over his body. His
arms were tied to his sides with a
rope and he was paraded through the
streets, butt for the jibes and curses
| of the strikers.

/. o. Hanson and H. r. Atkins took
their families for sleigh ride last Sum
day, as the ladies were going to visit with
friends at the Black Jack for few days.
Everything went lovely until they arrived
within about mile this side of Dewey
when the center of gravity got out of
''kilter" and the sleigh turned over on
its side, pitching the occupants over the
grade into the snow. The team did not
wait, but augmenting their speed jerked
the sleigh back on its runners and
dashed down the road, fetching up at
Mr. Simmons livery stable in Dewey.
Luckily no one was hurt or any damage
done to either team, harness or sleigh,
and the party was soon on its way reioic-
ing.
The local option bill has been passed
by the House without amendment.
Twenty Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis voted in favoro of the measure, while
five Republicans and five Democrats
voted against it. Two Democrats and
three Republicans who were against the
bill, were paired with Republicans who
were for it. Those absent were Holzhei-
mer, Morebeck and McBratney. Holz-
heimer was absent because he found that
he needed chnage of climate, some time
ago; Morebeck couldn't stand fire and
flew the COOP" showing that he was a
moral coward and couldn't face the mu-
sic. AS soon as the result was announc-
ed he returned His constituents will
undoubtedly regard him with the con-
tempt he deserves.
Here is the local option bill in con-
densed form;
On petition of 40 per cent of the aggre-
gate vote of the county cast for secretary
of state, if filed 10 days before the regular

an election to be held on some Wednes-
day, from to z, and within 80 to SO
days.
The vote shall be canvassed within 10
days after election. If the majority votes
''dry" all licenses in the county become
null and void 80 days after election,
money being refunded for the unused part,
although licenses issued prior to the act
may continue in force for one year from
their date.
| All qualified electors can vote and only
those not registered at the previous state
or county election need register.
No further local option election can be
held for two years.
If the county votes "wet" the commits
sioners and councils and trustees Of vii

Husband a Bigamist

Many OF our citizens will rcmem :
ber j. A. Barker who came here to
cell Texas land and made his home
with Thos. Landon's. About o
month ago he left for Sedalia talk
ing along one of our most estimt1
able young widows, Mrs. Maggie
Casey, as his bride.
Mr.. Landon informed us that he
received letter from his first wife
who with her four children resides
in Iowa, asking whether the re-
port that her husband was killed
in the Odessa wreck was true. He
replied that it was a false rumor
and that her husband had left here
with his bride. Wife MOI at once
started the law after Mr.. Barker
but we are unable to say whether
he has been arrested.
Mrs. Casey was formerly a Miss
Gibson OF Hardeman and is a splen
did lady and innocent in the mat
ter. She informed us when she
left Marshall that she was bound
for Sedalia to spend her honeymoo1 ]
and would spend several months
travelling also, then they would go
TO housekeeping in Texas.

Another Snake Story.

r. w. Blum, OF north of Gill

ing snake story. Mr.. Blum is a
prominent farmer and is tho. .ough
ly reliable. He says:
Saturday evening, June 18th
went to milk my cows as usual. 1t
was nearly dark and / stopped un-
der an old Sweet apple tree in the
lot. Some English .sparrows have
been building in this tree for sew
eral years. / concluded to get .
stick and punch the birds out. j
broke off little limb abort two
feet in length and commenced to
punch into the birds nest. I could
hear a noise on the inside and
thinking it to be a bird just kept
on punching at him. / thought 1
a party OF friends in an auto ride to
but soon stopped. An old blue
racer snake 8 1-2 feet long stuck
his head out OF that birds nest and
everytime / would pun:h him he
would strike at me. The first
thought which struck my mind was
to look for a club. / soon found
one and broke his neck the first
lick that l gave him. The second
thought which came to my mind
was the canning factory. was a
little nervous, why that blamed old
snake could have bit me as easy as
/ was bit by buying a share in the
Slater canning factory. l mixed
my cows then went to bed.
Yours very truly, Y

New Frankfort Trip.

The editor made a trip to New
Frankfort via Gillian and Cam
bridge Tuesday and Wednesday
and received splendid treatment.
We are unable to write UP the
trip in detail but our route can be
closely followed by looking at the
list of new subscribers. We fol-
lowed the river from Cambridge
to New Frankfort and found every
thing looking tine, but the people
were very much worried over what
the river would do as it had been
rising several days and foot or
more would flood the lower bot
toms. If the flood ruins the bot
tom crops this year it is bound to
cause much suffering as the people
farming the land have been heavy
losers already and are not in a po-
sition to stand further loss. We
wish them luck.

Flood Threatened

The Missouri River is ve:y high
and flood is threatened. 1t fell
several feet early in the week, then
went up again Tuesday and We'd
nesday. A letter from Thos ODon-
nell yesterday stated that the river
was rising at Kansas City and will
continue to rise till Friily there
or till Saturday here. A general
rain over Kansas and Nebraska
would soon have or low bottoms
under; water as it lacks1 olly a
foot or two in many places.
