and, when Giichi refused to go out on
strike with the rest of the japanese
laborers, Takahashi told some of his
friends to go and fix Giiehi; whereupon
five gamblers went to Giichi's house
and, in spite of brave fight Giishi
put up, he was ocercome by the num-
Der of his assailants who tied him up
with rope and brought him Arst to
the meeting place, and thence took
him on wagon into a cane field where
about thirty of the gamblers kicked
and beat him almost to death.
According to the order of their
head man they did not use any knife
or other weapon. This is for the pur.
pose of avoiding the charge of criminal
assault in case of arrest. Takahashi,
the head of the hui, came today to
consult with President Maxine of the
Higher Wage Association who wrote
to Sheriff Jarrett yesterday that he
regretted the occurrence and that he
would willingly render any help for
the prosecution of the assailants;
whereas he has been in fact in con
sultation with the head man of the
hui.
at is rumored that the Deputy Sher.
if of the district is very friendly with
Takahashi who received many favors
from the official in the past and was
always very considerably treated by
the officer, though he is head of a
gambling hui. This seems to account
for his non-arrest, although it is APP
parent that he is connected with the
assault.
"The present trouble between the
planters and strikers became at last
fight between a decent and respect
able class of Japanese and the thugs
and gamblers, because the higher wage
agitators are using gamblers and loaf
ers as their agents. Up until ten years
ago this class was on top and respect
able merchants and citizens were black
mailed. Afterwards they were broken
up, but they are taking advantage in
the. present agitation again to come
up. Eighty per cent. of the strikers
now in town want to go back to work;
they are trying to find some excuses
to go back. But they are marshaled
skilfully by the agitators, who put
the strikers in different. quarters diff
fcult for outsiders to approach them,
and with every ten men one thug is
placed as their corporal, so that those
under him cannot do anything at all.
They are entirely under the influence
of the agitators' agents at present,
actually imprisoned with two meals
day."

The District Magistrate Is suggestion
was formally approved after some dis
cussion as to the necessity Of having
a regular salaried interpreter for the
place, Supervisor Cox taking the stand
that the District Magistrate was the
best judge of the conditions and that
his statement that n salaried inter
prefer was needed should be enough
reason for the board to take favorable
action.
The committee on public expendi-
lures reported on the resolution pro
viding for the payment of mileage to

in favor of tickets being purchased

districts to be used in travelling from
their places of residence to Honolulu

MAY DEVELOP PANAMA
HAT INDUSTRY IN HAWAII

That Hawaii may become the home
of the real Panama hat industry Is
one of the ideas which Secretary Wood

These latter he will turn over to the
Director of the United States Expert

new industry for the Hawaiian will
have been inaugurated. Hawaiian hats
rarely bring more than So or SO in

ever, manufactured for sale abroad. An
extensive experiment will be made to
determine if 1t is possible to profitably

on the subject of jails and jailers, but
digressions were the feature of the
evenings meeting to which, in the
phrase that never fails the dramatic
critic, continuity was laclking.'
The members of the board were I'M
able to agree on the real financial
significance of the proposed transfer
of control and authority. Supervisor
Aylett was congratulating himself in
the belief that about $4,000 would be
saved the county when Mcclellan in
terrupted with an explanation that
scaled Aylett' Is optimistic figures down
in manner that caused him to give
up his attempt to strike balance.
Aylett had the floor during the greater
part of the discussion, and the com
mittee finally arose asking leave to sit
again. In the meantime the board
will continue its calculations in con-
nection with the transfer of the jails.
Before the board resolved itself into
committee of the whole on the Jail
question, Supervisor Logan precipitat-
ed passage at arms by having his
ordinance, providing for supply bu-
reau, withdrawn from the Committee
on Public Expenditures and presented
to the board for consideration in an
amended form.

YACHT RACE KIND CRUISE TO
KAHULUI KAMEIiAMEHA DAY

The next "big' event in yachting
will be the cruise to Kahului. This
will start probably at shortly before
midnight on Thursday, June 10, and a
whole bunch of yachts will take part.
Now please take notice and don I
say that you have not seen it in the
Advertiser. All members of the yacht
club and representatives of the other
papers in Honolulu who wish to 60 on
the cruise to Kahului, starting either
on June 10 before midnight or early
on the morning of June IL, returning
to Honolulu as nearly as possible be-
fore midnight Monday, June IA, notify
the Regatta Committee Immediately.
Address Regatta Committee, Hawaii
Yacht Club, Box SAG.
1t will be a case of first come first
serve. The yacht club is very anxious
to give everybody chance to go on
the cruise. 1t is going to be one of
the most delightful events ever pulled
off in these waters. The Maui yachts
men-and there are many of them on
that little old sugar islet-are crazy
over the event and have arranged o
great reception.
Share the Expenses.
It is understood, of course, that ev.
erybody who goes on the trip Will
stand their. pro rata share of the ex.
penses of the yacht on which they sail.
Each yacht will have a purser who
will see to the ordering of the grub
and turntables. He will add up the
amount of the total bill and will divide
that by the number of people aboard.
Each guest will take on the bill-dun.
mage assigned to him.
There is to be added excitement over
this cruise on account of the big race
that is going to take place at the same
time. The Luka, Captain Miller;N the
Hawaii H., Commodore Wilder; the
Concord, Captain Bben Low, and the
Ka Moi, Captain Sam, will race from
Honolulu to Kahului for stake.
A Keen Rivalry. 81
There is great rivalry between the
two partners, Captains Miller and Low.
Captain Miller thinks something of the
Luka and believes that he has mighty
good chance to beat the Pirate Kid,
but he admits that the Concord has
finer lines beneath the water than the
Luka and looks for mighty hard race,
"But I'll beat that Pirate if i have
to run him aground" he says. So we
may be sure that Captain Miller is
going to do his best.
AS for that genial sportsman, the
Pirate Kid, he has made up his mind

DISCUSS PLANS
OF IMMIGRATION

At meeting Of the Territorial Board
of immigration held yesterday after.
noon further plans were considered for
the systematic campaign that win be
waged for the bringing of Portuguese
colonists to the Territory.
A. j. Campbell, who leaves June /
on his foreign mission, will be granted
full discretionary power in employing
assistance in connection with the car.
rying out of the immigration work.
AS Mr.. Campbell will have the re.
sponsibility of putting the plans of
the board into effective operation it
was thought best that he should be
empowered to secure such assistance
as may be necessary and agreeable to
himself.
The Azores will be the first place
visited by Campbell on his journey in
search of desirable immigrants for the
Territory. 1t is believed that there
will be no difficulty in securing large
numbers of the islanders for Hawaii,
and it is stated that many have only
been awaiting chance to immigrate.
First Goes to Azores.
1t is the intention of the Board of
immigration to provide Mr. Campbell
with everything necessary to assure the
success of his mission, and also impress
the prospective colonies with the fact
that the government is back of the
plan to develop the resources of the
country by immigration.
From the Azores it is probable that
Campbell will go to Madeira, where
it is believed that there are num-
Der of people who would gladly avail
themselves of the opportunity present
ed by the plans of the Territorial Board
of Immigration.
1t was stated at yesterdays meet
ing that Campbell would be provided
with credentials from Governor Frear
and other territorial officials, and also
from the Portuguese consul general in
this city.
The general purpose of the meeting
was for an informal discussion of the
plans of the new immigration cam
paign, and the reaching of the decision
that it was advisable to leave the Ques-
tion of assistance entirely in the hands
of Campbell himself.

to win the race. He has had new
set of sails made for the Concord and
as soon as she gets back to Honolulu
she will be hauled out ON the ways fol-
cleaning and will have the new can
vas bent on. Then there will be a
trying-out of the schooner and if only
the wind blows during the race, Cap
tain Low will give an exhibition OF
cracking on that would make Clark
Russell IS Frozen Pirate turn green with
envy.
Captain Sam Can Sail.
Captain Sam, the Hawaiian skipper
is one of the boldest sailors in these
waters. He knows every outline of the
Islands and every turn where the wind
is likely to change. He will sail his
fast schooner IA Moi in the race and
he has good chance of fooling the
whole bunch.
There is some talk of handicap
This matter will probably be put up tc
the regatta committee of the yacht
club and, if so, they will base Their
figures on overall deck length, which
seems to be a fair way to figure it
An arbitrary allowance per foot pei
mile will be made and the entire handi
caps figured out from the total distance
from Honolulu to Kahului on the charts
Advantage for Hawaii.
This handicap will give the Hawaii
some advantage, but as she is quite q
little bit smaller than any of the other
vessels in the race, il is only fair that
she should have an allowance. 1t will
be hot race with four fast schooncrs
in and there is some talk of some
other inter-is' and schooners joining the
race and making the event the broad
est and most popular affair that has
ever happened in these waters.
The time at which the race will star
has not yet been set. This will depend
on the convenience of the captains ant
crews of the racers and cruisers. Only
the larger yachts, all schooners, will
race, while the smaller yachts will mere
ly cruise in n comfortable way to the
Maui port.
All the owners of the sloops and
yawls have signified their willingness
to take part in the cruise. When they
arrive at Kahului there will be the big
reception all ready for them. J. N. s
Williams, the leading catching spirit
on Maui, states that they are all anx
iously awaiting the arrival OF the
yachts and that there will be some
thing doing for the visitors every min
ute that they stay on the hospitable
Island next door but one.

TAKE A TONIC
FOR NEURALGIA
Highest Medical Authorities Agree
on Treatment for This
Painful Disease.

Neuralgia is Inflammation of a nerve.
This inflammation is sometimes caused
by exposure to cold, sometimes by the
nerve irritation arising from decayed
tooth. OF all causes, however, general
debility of the system is by far the most
frequent. Authorities agree that the
proper treatment for neuralgia is to build
up the strength and health of the body.
A nourishing diet and tonic treatment
will accomplish this but external appli-
cations, as of liniments, cannot. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills are the most valu.
able tonic for the home treatment Of
neuralgia, fact proved by the follow
ing ease recently reported.
Mrs. Martha Decker, of No. SCI ST.
Paul avenue, Beloit, Wis, who has been
cured of neuralgia by DIR. williams

The senators of the committee also

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
ther 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 will sail for Honolulu on July
90. 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 10, which

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 a vast
deal of money there, as it will do, in
lesser degree, at Mare Island. The
projects at both yards are correlated,
in a 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 3 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 Illi-
nois and Mr.. Mcclellan went to the
Treasury Department this morning to
urge expedition in the procedure for
preparing plans for the public building
at Honolulu.
