LEiL INJURED
BY GAMBLERS
A Most Vicious Attack is Made
on the Chief by a
Bad Gang.

A vicious assault. with what appears
to have been murderous intent, was
made on Chief of Detectives Joe Leal
about dusk last night near Vineyard
street Camp No. 2 by gang of crap
shooters whom he was trying to ar.
rest. In the melee the Chief received
bad cut on the hand that appears to
have been made with knife, though
he was so busy trying to stand off his
assailants that he did not see the
weapon that was used nor is he sure
as to the man who cut him.
The Chief was driving by the camp
just before it was fully dark when he
saw crowd of about a dozen men
shooting craps in the street by the
light of lantern. Being in buggy,
he was able to approach fairly close
without being recognized. Springing
from the vehicle, he made rush to
catch the offenders. They saw him
coming and all scattered and ran, ex-
cept one half drunken Hawaiian named
Kanehaku, who stood his ground and
greeted Leal with flood of profanity
and vituperation. The Chief started to
seize him and put him under arrest,
when the balance of the gang rallied
and fell upon him. They came from
all sides, and for few minutes he was
the center Of whirling maelstrom of
angry men, each of whom was trying
his best to get in blow at their
ancient enemy, the law, as personifed
in Leal.
The Chief was in danger of being
put down and out when, just in time,
a man from the Honolulu Iron Works
happened along and gave him hand
in the scrap. Between them, they
managed to beat off the assailants Of
the Chief and to capture the ringlead-
er. Kanehaku. The latter was taken
to The police station and lodged in a
cell to sleep off his jag. Chief Leal
hopes to be able to get from him, when
he sobers up, the names of the rest Of

case of DR.. Atcherley soon coming be-
fore the Board of Insanity Commission
ers made it necessary that the vacancy
be filled.

WASHINGTON, July 5.The third
and last legislative body to have part
in framing the new tariff law is about
to be selected In few days its mem
bers will take their seats around q
mahogany table in some large meeting
hall in one of the marble Office build
ings. Messengers will guard the state.
lv portals, While the halls of the Sen
ate and the House are deserted day IN
and day out for week or two, this
third legislative body will deliberate
in secret. Their product will be the
tariff bill as Senate and House must
approve it. as the President will sign
it. and as it will become the law of the
land.
The members of this third legislative
body are hardly elected. They are des-
ipnated or nominated. Half of them
will be from the House of Representa-
tiyes and half from the Senate. Speak
err Cannon will name the half of its
members who come from the House.
Vice President Sherman will announce
the half who come from the Senate.
The list. however, will be made up for
him by the Senate leaders and, in fact,
bv Senator Aldrieh, chairman of the
Finance Committee. The House could,
but never does, take the nomination of
its men. who are officially known as con-
ferees, from the Speaker.
Rarely in the history of legislation is
there conference committee of the
two houses Of more Importance than one
that sits for the adjustment of differ
ences in a tariff bill. Usually confer
enee committees are composed of six
men. three from the House and three
from the Senate. Bat tariff bill con-
ferences are larger, and usually have
consisted of eight Senators and eight
Representatives That makes the third
legislative body consist of sixteen MEM
bers. A great deal and wide variety
of gossip always precedes the selection
of these men. Il goes to the extent
even Of conjecture abont the selection
of men outside the committees
which have had to do with the framing
of the tariff BILL But it is certain that
the conference on the Aldrieh-Payne
tariff bill will be composed of Repre-
sentatives from the Ways and Means

EXCHEQUER IS
RUNNING
Low
Kauai Japanese Won't
Help the Strike
Fund.

The exchequer of the Higher Wage
Association is said to be running very
low. Last Friday Treasurer Yamashiro
sent wireless message to the head of
the Kauai branch of the Higher Wage
Association, asking for contributions.
Sunday meeting of the Kauai Japan
csc was held at Hanapepe, but as yet
no funds have been forthcoming.
What action was taken at the Hama
pepe meeting is not known to local Jap
anese, but it is stated, on apparently
good authority, that the call for more
money was received with noticeable
GOODNESS.
Some weeks ago the Kauai Higher
Wage Association sent a representative
down here to look over the situation,
and since his return home there has not
been noticeable anxiety on the part
of the laborers of the northern island
to come through with very large sums
of money.
The Kauai delegate, while here, visit
ed number of the most prominent
local japanese, with the result that he
soon reached the conclusion that the
Japanese of standing in Honolulu have
but little sympathy with the Higher
Wage Association.
Where all of the Japanese strikers
from Waipahu and Aiea have gone is
a question that those conversant with
affairs are asking themselves. Accord
ing to all figuring, there should be more
than 5000 of the men here in Honolulu.
The commissary kitchens of the Higher
Wage Association are feeding only
1900 day.
Some of the strikers are known to
nave gone to the pineapple plantations,
but their number is but small compared
with the missing total. Doubtless
some of them have found employment
as household servants and yardboys, but
even that does not account for the mys-
FERROUS disappearance of SO large a
number.
Those still patronizing the commits
sary kitchens are the firmest of the sup
porters of the Higher Wage Associa-
ton, and it is felt that the others are
probably only awaiting an opportunity
to return quietly to work.
There was a rumor current Yesterday
morning to the effect that large num-
Der of the laborers who attended the
meetings Sunday afternoon had gone
back to the plantations. Richard Ivers,
of William x. Irwin g. Co., stated last
evening that he had no adviees to the
effect that any men had returned to
Aiea, but he thought it quite possible
that they might be staying at some of
the outside camps.

RUSSIANS To
BE GIVEN 4
CHANCE
About Sixty Families
Will Probably Be
Brought.

The Hawaiian Development Com
pany win probably take sixty families
of Russian immigrants as an expert
ment, if suitable arrangements can be
made. OF these, thirty families will
be divided between the pineapple plan
tations at Wahiawa and the sugar es-
tate at Hauula, on this island, and the
other. thirty families will be located
at South Kona, Hawaii.
The officers of the Hawaiian De-
velopment Company are much interest
ed in the proposition which A. w.
Perelstrous. the Vladivostok contractor
now here, has made, and they will prob
ably take the matter up with the Board
of immigration in the near future.
The Planters Association is also in
terested in the project. Saturday
morning, Perelstrous met with the labor
committee of the association, E. F.
Bishop, E. E. Paxton, E. D. Tenney and
Fritz Klamp, and discussed the mat
ter at length. The meeting was held
in the Office of r. ID. Mead, head of
the Planters Labor Bureau.
Perelstrous expressed the greatest
approval of what he had seen at Eva
plantation. He said that the houses
which the plantation is furnishing the
1aborers are far superior to anything
! that Russian laborers ever dreamed of
IN their own country. He exhibited
some plans and sketches Of laborers
cottages at Eva which he made for
future use
The suggestion was made by Perel-
streus that an experiment might be
made here with eighty families as a
starter, to determine how climatic and
other conditions agreed with the Rus
slams, and to give the planters an op-
portunity to judge as to the efficiency
of the laborers.
He suggested that the eighty famf-
lies might be divided between two
plantations, not far distant from each
other. He thought that forty fami-
lies for each plantation should be made
the maximum for experimental pur-
poses, and he expressed the belief that
tests on two plantations might be taken
as sufficient.
Perelstrous expressed the belief that
the families for the experiment might
be secured from Hardin, as the Rus
sian government is sending settlers
there daily In this way the initial ex-
pense could be kept down to the mini
num-
The committee will report to the
Planters Association, probably some
day this week, and the matter will be
.p4o o. Tbora
be a general feeling that every avail
able source of white immigration should
be tested, and Perelstrous' plan is
meeting with growing favor.

SPANISH COMING
|. BACK on ALAMEDA
Also Several Porto Rican and
Portuguese Families Are
on Board.

On the next Alameda will arrive the
pick of the Spanish families, found
destitute in San Francisco, and also
a number of Portuguese and Porto
Riean families. The Board of Immi-
grafton has received no advices as to
the number of families coming.
The Federal authorities issued the
ultimatum that the Spaniards, being
public charges, must either be deported
or returned to Hawaii. The matter
was taken up with the Board of I'M
migration, and Special Agent Silva, the
Board s representative in San Fran.
cisco, was instructed to pick out those
families which he thought would be
desirable, and return to Hawaii as
many as might wish to ccme.
A number expressed an urgent de-
sire TO return here. Several Porto
Rican and Portuguese families, which
had become discouraged with condi-
tions in California, also expressed
wish to come to Hawaii and, after in
vestigating their antecedents, Silva
made arrangements for their trans
portation.
Special Agent A. J. Campbell, of the
Board of Immigration, will arrive in
London today. A letter from him, Civ
ing further particulars regarding his
plans, is expected within the next few
weeks.

BARRIERS POINT
STATION DOOMED
All Wireless Business Will Be
Handled Through
kahuku.

The wireless telegraph station at
Barber s Point is to be abandoned. The
buildings will be sold, and the equip
ment will be distributed among the
other stations of the company.
/. Today the Mutual Telephone Com
pany, which has absorbed the old Wire
less Telegraph Company, will begin the
construction of telegraph line direct
to Kahuku. This line will put, the local
offices of the company into direct com.
munication with Kahuku, and will
greatly facilitate the handling of bust
ness.
Henceforth all inter-island and hip
ping messages will be handled via ka.
huku, and the direct land line will
make it possible to forward the mes
sages directly into this city. Manager
j. A. Balch stated last night that, IN
abandoning the Barber s Point station,
the company will practically obviate
all of the difficulty that has been ex-
perienced from the breaking in of
amateur wireless.

CONFEREES CONSIDER THE
TARIFF BILL IN SECRET

Committee and of Senators from the
Finance Committee. 1t is reasonably
certain that the conference will COM
prise ten Republicans and six Demo-
Gratis.
The general rule is to name the five
Republican seniors aud the three Demo
cratic seniors in service on each of
the two tariff committees. That means
the FIVE and the three whose names are
printed at the top of the respective
Republican and Democratic lists of
committee members. There win be
some departure from that this year for
two or three different reasons. One is
that Eastern Senators and Represents
tives predominant at the top of the
Ways and Means and also at the top
of Finance. The rest of the country
must have something like equal repre-
sentation in adjusting the tariff clauses
which are in dispute. Speaker Cannon
will be the chief factor in bringing
about this equalization, as the Senate
is a greater stickler for the observance
of seniority than is the House.
The Speaker and Senator Aldrich,
who will determine the membership Of
the conference, nave HOT yct dSie1u
upon the men, although there has been
much gossip and conjecture about it
even for a couple of months. They will
undoubtedly talk the matter over be-
tween themselves. 1t it almost GER
tainty that the Democratic members,
both for the Senate and for the House,
will be taken from the top of the Com
mittee lists. They are of about as
much importance to the deliberations
as the fifth wheel is to coach and
are included largely as a matter Of
formality and courtesy. These Demo-
cratic conferees will probably be:
For the Senate, John w. Daniel, or
Virginia; fernando d. Money, of Mis-
sissippi; Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas.
For the House, Champ Clark, of Mis-
souri,; Oscar w. Underwood, of Alaba-
ma. James NJ. Griggs, of Georgia.
Four of the ten Republican members
of the Conference can also be named
with certainty as follows:
The Senate, Nelson w. Aldrich, OF
Rhode Island; Boise Penrose, OF
Pennsylvania.
For the House, Serene E. Payne, Of

BRIGHT CONVICTED
FIVE TIMES At H|LO

Charles Bright has been convicted
Ave times of gross cheat. Such was the
information received yesterday by
Sheriff Pua of Hawaii, who is in Homo
lulu, and who yesterday sent a wire
less to Deputy Sheriff Fetter of Hilo
asking for the record of the frenzied
fnancier who has been exploiting Ho-
noiulu.
Sheriff Jarrett, who has not seen
Sheriff Pua, does not know just how to
interpret the message received. He
doesn It know whether it means that
Bright merely has a record of five con-
victions for gross cheat, or whether the
five convictions are still hanging over
him with their accompanying sentences
still unserved
If the latter is the case, Sheriff Pua
will probably be allowed to take Bright
back to Hilo with him today. If, how
ever, the accomplished gentleman is
not wanted in his home town, warrants
will probably be sworn out against him
here and he will have to face the judge
to answer for some of his deeds In Ho-

ne said, he intended to invite the
Sheriff to be one of his guests, but the
matter must have slipped his mind, as
ne had learned that the Sheriff did not
receive the invitation. But it's all
right, now, anyway, for Bright is at
present the guest of the Sheriff, and is
really stopping with him, as he erron-
eously told the nurse at the hospital
last week that he was doing. The
Sheriff hopes that he will make a pro-
traeIed stay.

CHINESE TENEMENT
IS Quilted BY FIRE

A blaze which contained in itself the
possibilities of a big eonfagration
Quilted part Of the upper floor of a Chi
nese tenement house on Smith street
near Pauahi street yesterday afternoon
and was prevented from spreading 30
the nearby buildings only by the quick
and efficient work of the fire depart
ment
How the fire started is uncertain, the
inmates of the house protesting entire
ignorance of its origin. It is probable,
however, that match dropped among
the mass OF inf1ammable stuff that lit
tered the floors of the rooms of the
upper story was responsible for the
danger to the entire block.
The alarm was turned in from box
AZ, at the corner of Smith and Pauahi
streets, and the fire ladies were there
almost before the whistle had stopped
blowing, and had the chemicals and
stream of water on the blaze. They
quickly had it under control. but the
entire upper story of the building,
which is back of 1918 Smith street, was
Quilted, with the exception of one or
two rooms. The fire started in room
occupied by native woman. Next to
her was Chinese family, the head of
which, Ho Fon, stated that his three
children were playing about in front
of the room in which the blaze started
As the place is one of the swarming
tenements that are veritable fire traps
and that burn like oil when once FIRE
gets good start, it is a wonder that
some of the children were not injured
or burned to death.
The outside of the building was not
injured, but considerable damage was
done to the interior of the upper story.
