The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-08-09

- y. dIlCh, lHS juror WHOSE dD-
sence owing to intoxication on Fri
day prevented the conspiracy trial
from proceeding that day, took his
medicine in court this morning.
Judge De Bolt gave a severe repri-
mand to him and fined him S12, be-
ing the amount of jury fees he earn
ed on four days of last week.
Editor Negoro's cross examination
was resumed at the hands of W.. A.
Kinney. The defendant witness vol
unteered many speeches with his an
swers, being indulged by the court in
some cases and not in others.
One article from the Nippu Jill on
which he was questioned covered a let
ter from the Japanese Union" of Ha-
ma, Maui, addressed to the Higher
Wages Consummation Society" of Ho-
nolulu. There was Request attached
that the editor revise and publish
the communication.
1t covered a resolution passed at
meeting of the Hama union, which
urged the raising of contributions for
the Oahu brethren as rapidly as pos
sible, and contained the declaration,
I'VE refuse to subscribe to the Hawaii
Shinpo"
Negoro had received other similar
print said he did not remember it par
ticularly. He said he did not read
the articles over very carefully before
passing them to the printer. The pub
lication of this one was an oversight.
It could not be construed as guilty
knowledge against the editors of the
Nippu Jill was one of the opinions he
Ventured.
IF we had any official connection
with those outside organizations" Ne
goro said, 1--WE should have heen care
full about any suggestions of violations
of law. We did not feel any stirring
OF mind that we ought to set those la
borers right We did not have any
official connection with the Aiea la
borers when we advised them not to
violate the law.
"In some cases We did give official
advice. in others we neglected to do
so. You cannot blame us, Mr.. Kinney,
for doing good things in one case and
emitting to do good things in other
cases"
He said he did not feel responsible
for anything like that, when the pass
age was quoted to him:
There are dark nights as well as
nights. Look out you do
not get crippled"
Negoro admitted that prizes were
offered for the best songs and rhymes
on Russian spies and planters dogs.
Here is part of one such poem:
IF they would only cease wagging
their tails to please the Ied-haired
foreigners and come over tc our So
ciety, we would supply them with
food
These tame-looking, tail-wagging
animals, the wild pig and the prairie
(grass) dog, will fall into the hands
of some hunter|or other.
Throughout the eight islands of Ha-
wall there is not a single man who
does not hate the dog and the pig
because theyp prevent the rise OF
wages.
They cannot be left as they are now.
Because when dogs and pigs are free
to go where they please, there is no
saying when and where or whom
they will bite.
AS an ending of the AFFAIR this time
call together a few hunters and
quickly slay the dog and the pig"
Negoro, on being asked about this
feature of his paper. gave a prelude in
the form Of a comparison between
strikes abroad and the Japanese strike
lere. In the latter there was no firing
If pistols or flashing of knives.
Kinney jcrked him up on the knife
which caused a heated
protest from Lightfoot against ringing
n the Sheba stabbing.
This thing was addressed to labor
rs among whom you had to go con-
itantly and advise them to keep the
'eace?" Kinney asked with reference
o the dog and pig lyric j
mo-" Negoro replied. "You cannot
ay that this thing was addressed to {
he laborers. 1t was an inspiration"
"Was It an inspiration to say that
Sheba will not die on bed or matY'"
