Stating in hysterical language that
the Japanese of Hawaii can hope for
no justice in the Territory, from either
the Federal or Territorial authorities,
vicious attack upon United States At
torney r. w. Breckons, concluded by
appealing to the Japanese Government
to step in and protect its subjects un-
less it wants to see them crushed in
to slavery by the Hawaiian planters"
The Jill bases it's attack upon Mr..
Bfeckons from the fact that he has
brought series of criminal charges
against Uchiyama, arrested primarily
matter through the mails. Uchiyama
now faces four charges, two of a ma
ture as stated and two for offenses
arising out of the taking from the
Kahuku postoffice of mail not directed
or belonging to him. That these
charges are made is proof, to the Jill,
that Mr.. BreckonS is using his official
position to de mage the cause of the
strikers and to "maliciously' prosecute
and prosecute japanese.
The Federal authorities should, says
the Jill, be even more careful in pro-
tecting the interests of the japanese in
Hawaii than the Territorial authori-
ties. 1t finds, however, that the Fed
eraI authorities are quite as bad as
the Territorial ones, taking advantage
of their position to forward the
schemes of the sugar planters, just as
the local officials are doing.
Continuing in this wise, the Jill
lashes itself into a fury, saying things
which may lead to more serious trouble
for publication, concluding with a cry
for Toxic to take a hand and rescue

The Eiks are not running a Fourth of
July excursion to Hilo this year, re-
ports to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Secretary Easton of Lodge GIG states
that when the Elks gave their excursion
last year it was hoped to make it an
annual event. This year, when the
matter was proposed, they found that
they could not charter steamer.
Whatever excursion is made 10 Hilo
will be conducted by the Inter-Island
Company. The Elks may compromise
among themselves by having big
touring excursion over the Oahu belt
road.

Sheriff Jarrett and his posse return

they found nothing. 1t had been re-
ported on Saturday by Deputy Sheriff
Cox that serious trouble was reported
from Kahana, the strikers there hold
ing as prisoners a number of Japanese
wanting to return to work The sher-
if, with Deputy High Sheriff Doyle
and number of police officers heavily
armed, dashed off Saturday afternoon
to the rescue. Their machine broke
down on the other side of the Pail and
they had other vicissitudes, the climax
coming when they reached Kahana
and found everything quiet There
, We're no prisoners to rescue, no kidnap-

start back for Honolulu in a machine
that wanted to be carried up all the

Leaders on Trial Today.
Maxine, Sega, Negoro and the others
indicted on a charge of conspiring to
prevent the Oahu plantations from
carrying on their business appear for
trial this morning. The trial, accord
ing to the opinion of their attorney,
Joseph Lightfoot, will be q long drawn
out one.
II do not expect that we will be able
to conclude before August he stated
yesterday.
Leaders Expect the Strike to Spread.
In the opinion of a great many, the
object of the prosecution in insisting
that the strike leaders should appear
| for trial ON the charges against them
| is to keep them occupied so continually
with defending themselves that they
will have no opportunity of stirring up
| further trouble. This opinion is shared
| in by the strike leaders themselves, who
regard the demands of the prosecution
| as a tactical mistake
s'We have succeeded so far in Keep
ing the strikers well within bounds, -
said one of them yesterday. "There
have been no concerted breaches of the
peace. We have urged the laborers to
remain quiet and respect the law and
they have taken our advice. Now, if
we are to be kept continually in court,
there will be no one to persist in this
advice. We do not expect that there
will be any trouble on this island, in
any event, but if strike breaks out
on Hawaii, which seems very likely,
there might be trouble. This is what
we fear The laborers are simple, ex.
citable men and without a leader who
can succeed in calming them, they may
resort to violence, to taking steps at
any rate that can be construed into
violence If we were at liberty on
bonds we could have someone On Ha-
wall to keep the striking laborers quiet
and obedient to the law
No Strike Sentiment Found.
