STRIKE
IS Expected
JAPANESE HAVE NO RESOURCES
TO FALL BACK ON WHILE OUT
OF WORK

The general expectation among the
sugar men of this city is that the
strike of the Japanese laborers will be
a short one. 1t is known that they
are not provided with funds TO carry
on a long strike and it is said that
they can obtain little or no credit at
the stores in this ciW, while of course
they will not ne allowed to draw
ahead at the plantation stores while
not working. If the managers OF the
plantations affected order all those
who refuse to work to leave the plan
tation they viii be forced to come to
Honolulu, where they will nave moth
ing to do and their expenses will be
increased. 1t is certain that the ia
panese hotels will not support them.
In case of any violence being offered
the police are ready to take full charge
of the situation and are fully able to
cope with any trouble which may arise.
It is not anticipated that any further
force will be necessary.

is said to have taken the soldiers from
the scene.
Sergeant Cornell's written statement
to the police is to the following eff
feet:
IL was in the Encore saloon form-
erly the Hoffman at the makai-Wai
kiki corner of Hotel and Nuuanu
streets) on Monday, May g. McGan-
non entered late. He appeared to be
badly done up, having a black eye and
several bruises about the face. We
gave him three or four drinks and left
the saloon together McGannon went
toward Bethel street and we Cornell
and other soldiers) went along Hotel
street toward the stream (Nuuanu
stream). Neither myself nor any of
my comrades did strike McGannon or
know of anyone striking him while in
our company
According to this Voluntary test-
mony, then, McGannon may be pre-
sumed to have received a black eye
and other face bruises before he re-
ceived the wound that cause his death
at the hospital.
The fracture of the skull found by
DR.. Mcdonald, when he laid bare the
scalp of McGannou's body, was over
the left eye. Whether, when Cornell
and his comrades observed McGan-
non's black eye tee man had a frac-
tured skull is of course impossible to
say.
The Chinese witness, referred to by
the Japanese bartender, VINO is en-
ployed at the River Rhine saloon, de-
lares that McGannon was assaulted
by a number Of soldiers on the cor
uer of Bethel and Hotel streets, and
this was probably after McGannon
had left Cornell and his comrades in
front of the Encore saloon at the cor
ner of Nuuanu ana Bethel and had
walked toward Bethel, while Cornell
and his companions walked toward
the river, according to Corneil's state
,ment to the police So the statement
of Cornell to the police does not in

TO
Be COOK

Mayor Fern and Sheriff Jarrett find,
as a result of an inspection of Homo
lulu Jail that a Kitchen and an office,
as well as other institutions, will have
to be installed by or after July ! when
the City and Coun;y of Honolulu takes
over the care and maintenance of the
jail.
1t was at first thought that the Ter
ritorial prison might continue to 90
the cooking for both the Territorial
prison and the Honolulu Jail and that
the City and County could pay to the
High Sheriff OF the Territory the pro
portion of money necessary to cover
the expense of food and its prepara
ton for the Honolulu Jail; but it is
now ascertained that this could not
be done, for what money might thus he
paid by the City and County to the
High Sheriff could not be applied, le-
gally, to the expense, but would have
to be turned over to the Treasurer OF
the Territory as a Territorial realiza-
ton.
A separate Office is also required for
the City and County Jail, for the Office
of the Territorial prison will, when
the City and County takes charge,
cease to keep tab on Honolulu prison
ers.

ROME, April 26-Wilbur Wright has
sold the Italian rights to his aeroplane
for 100000 to a syndicate, which will
at once begin the construction of mill
tary and other machines.
Aeroplaning promises to become by
far the most popular craze in Italian
society. Wright has received more
than 200 letters from aristocratic la
dies asking to be taken for a flight,
but he has not yet replied to any OF
them.
Wilbur Wright made a series of
fights today. The aeroplane rose inso
the air without the aid of a derrick or
a rail. 1t was forced over the grass in
the beginning by its own propellers,
and the momentum gradually increased
until at the end of $50 yards it left the
ground and sailed aloft.

A representative of The Star found
everything very quiet and orderly at
Aiea, on the Honolulu plantation, this
morning, in spite of the fact that tif-
teen hundred Japanese plantation lab
orers are on strike for higher wages
on that particular plantation and that
the higher-wage moement IS working
for general strikes throughout this
island.
The only labor2rs Of the Honolulu
plantation found at work this morn
ing were thirty Portuguese and thirty
Porto Ricans, distributed in loading
sugar at the mill and in irrigating
work at Puuloa.
CHINESE MADE TO STRIKE.
The Japanese went out yesterday
evening and refused to go to work
this morning. Early this morning
they approached the $50 Chinese and
told them that they must also quit,
The Chinese did not appear tc have
any complaint to make against the
management and were not taking the
initiative in any strike, but they were
practically informed that unless they
dropped their. implements OF labor and
went out with the japanese it would
not be comfortable for them.
Sheriff Jarrett went to Aiea this
morning by buggy. He took with him
no extra police, the situation at this
time not seeming to call for extra po-
lice or soldiers.
WAIPAHU STRIKES TOMORROW.
This evening, at 5 o'clock, there is
TO be meeting of the leaders of the
higher-wage campaign IN this city,
when it will be determined what steps
are to be taken in regard to calling
a strike on the plantation of the Oahu
Sugar Company. All the men at Wal
pahu will probably be out on strike
tomorrow, making about three thou
sand Japanese on strike. The Waipahu
mill hands went out this morning.
PREPARED FOR LOCKOUT
Maxine, and other leaders OF the
strike, have secured three hundred
bags of rice, sympathetic contribu-
tions from Japanese merchants in this

The mystery Of the death of NJ j..
McGannon, picked up on the corner
of Bethel and Hotel streets late Mon
day night, is not yet solved. No sat
isfactory explanation as has yet been
made as to how he received a frac-
ture of the skull, a black eye, wound
ed cheek, bent gums and loosened
teeth
He was picked up bleeding and un-
conscious and died in hospital while
being examined a second time>
The talk of Hotel street was that
the man had been in a fight or was
assaulted, and on Saturday this paper
published an account of what was said
by a Japanese bartender who declares
a Chinese witness told him that a
number of soldiers attacked McGan-
non and that one of them struck him
violently in the mouth, knocked him
down, and that then the bunch jump
cd into hack and got away up Nuu-
anu street.
Harold A. Cornell, sergeant of Troop
ID, Fifth Cavalry, seeing this account,
writes a statement to the police de-
partment to clear himself and COM
rades, who were with him in town and
IN the neighborhood. of any suspicion.
In the meanwhile there is the hack
man, who drove certain soldiers away
from the fallen McGannon. to be ap-
pretended, if the Chinese witness
speaks truth; and if che Chinese does
not tell the facts of the case, his story
to the Japanese bartender could have
been for no purpose other than the
mere joy of lying.
Sergeant Cornells statement by no
means covers all the soldiers who
were in the neighborhood of Bethel
and Hotel streets at the time of the
alleged assault on McGannon.
Chief of Detectives Joe Leal is
working on the case unaided by any
offer of reward for information lead

FIGHT ON LUMBER
SCHEDULE BEGUN

Washington, May 22.-After a long
waiting the lumber schedule was to-
day given its inning in the senate
When the lumber paragraph was
reached Mr. McCumber presented his
amendment providing for free lumber
instead OF 81 per thousand. as In the
Dingley law, and 81 as provided by the
house bill. The action prccipitated
the long threatened fight and it was
evident, from the beginning, that the
ground would be stubbornly contest.

there was no vote today.
Mr.. McCumber led the debate. He
declared The lumber industry needed
no protection There was, he said, no
danger that any OF the American lum

foreign competition. The increasing
demand for these forest products tend
Ito keep up the prices.
