Situation Growing Que of Indictment
Turn.
Honolulu, June 16. - The situation
growing out of the Indictment by the
grand jury of the seventeen leaders
in the strike of the Japanese planta-
con laborers was given an interna-
tional turn yesterday when M. Ne

a local Japanese publication, who was
taken into custody when the Offices of

tiles last Friday made formal com
plant to the japanese foreign Office
at Tokyo Of the violations of his
treaty rights.

The alleged violation of his rights

complaint, consists in the search of
his Office and the seizure of his pri-
vate papers and documents by the
territorial authorities without due
process of law.
Territorial Sheriff William Henry
admits that the search and seizure
was made by force of arms and with
out search warrants or process of law,
but claims that the papers seized
contained evidence Of criminal pur-
pose and that the courts of the terri
tory are open to Negoro for redress
if he has been damaged.

wamura of the editorial STATS of the

and hinder the Honolulu, Oahu, Eva,
Wailalua and Kahuku plantations
from carrying on their business.

BOILER EXPLOSION
IS FATAL TO SIX
Many More Bodies Probably
Buried Under Tons of
Debris at Denver.
CUTS Off ELECTRIC POWER
TwO-hundred-tOn Boiler Is Thrown
Through Roof of Building 500
Feet in Air.

Denver, Colo, June 16-Six per-
sons are known to be dead and it is
thought many more dead bodies are
buried under tons of debris. as a re-
suit of the explosion of boiler last
evening at the power station of the
Denver Gas and Electric company, at
the corner of Sixth and Lawrence
streets.
Hundreds of men who were attract
ed to the scene by the sound of the
terrific explosion are now frantically
digging into the debris of the power
plant, bent upon the rescue of the
power company employees who are
supposed to be still under the ruins.
AS fast as the bodies of the dead
and wounded were unearthed they
were carried to waiting automobiles.
Those in which life still fingered
were rushed to the county hospital.
2oo-ton Boiler Let's Go.
Among the first of the dead bodies
to be dug out of the ruins was that
of Joseph PERI, seven years old. The
boy was playing in an alley behind
the plant when the explosion occur
red and was completely buried by
brick and iron.
The explosion was caused by the
bursting of a 200-tOn boiler, which
was thrown through the roof of the
building 500 feet in the air. The en-
tire boiler room section of the plant
was demolished and all electrical
power was cut from the city by the
wreclIing of the main generator. 1t
is not known how many men were at
work in the plant, but it is thought
there were at least seventy-fve. The
boiler that exploded was one of the
new ones recently installed at the
plant.
The property damage is estimated
at $250,000.

ALDRICH IS ATTACKED AGAIN
Senator Burkett Accuses the Chairman
of Playing Petty
Politics.

Washington, June 16.-Indulging in
mittee on finance because of it's
change of front over night On the sub
ject of tobacco importations from the
Philippine islands, Senator Buga1Stt
of Nebraska, standing face to face
with Chairman Aldrich, yesterday de-
clared that it's action looked like "a
game of petty politics. He charac-
teriZed this action as IAN effort to
hang the senator from Wisconsin up
in the air. and finally declared that
this event afforded senators a good
opportunity to vote a lack of conf
dence in the committee.
This tart language followed Mr..
Aldrich's statement that the commit
tee would accept the amendment pro-
posed by Senator Bulkeley to reduce
the number of cigars to be admitted
free of duty from the Philippines
from 100000 to 100000 and the
quantity of filler tobacco from 1900
900 to 100000 pounds, together with
a provision that the wrapper and filler
tobacco should be unstemmed when
receiving this concession.
Encouraged by the committees ac-
ton, Senator La Toilette proposed an
other amendment to reduce the free
importation of cigars to 60,000,000 an
nually, but this was defeated, SO to
27.
Late in the day Chairman Aldrich
presented the finance committee's
amendment to the silk schedule.

Two Dead, Two Fatally Wound
ed and Three Slightly Hurt
in Street Battle.

Meadville, Miss, June 16. - Two
men are dead, two were perhaps ia
tally wounded and three others slight
ly injured, due to bloody street bat
tie here yesterday afternoon waged
by parties to bitter feud that had
been previously marked with tragedy.
AS a result of the affair feeling here
runs high and state troops were rush
ed to Meadville from Brook Haven
last night to guard against the posi-
bility of rioting.
Killed and Injured.
Those killed were:
DR.. A. M. Newman, clerk of the
chancery court of Franklin county.
Silas G.. Reynolds.
DR.. Lenox Newman, a son of one OF
the slain men, is believed to have
been fatally injured, and Herbert APP
plewhite, an attorney, may not re-
cover as the result of his wounds.
Emmett Newman, brother of Lenox,
was shot in the leg. The three were
taken to Natchez last night for medi-
cal treatment after having been for
mally placed under arrest. Two men
named Boyd and Parr, alleged to have
been involved in the affair, were
slightly wounded, but escaped.
L. p Prichard, brother of Corne-
Illus Prichard, whom DR.. Newman kill
ed seven weeks ago, was arrested
and charged with completely in the
tragedy.
Old and Bitter Feud.
The killing of Prichard by Newman
was the first bloodshed in feud that
had existed between the two men, rel
atives and friends for months. This
bitter factionalism had it's inception
in a political campaign in which
Newman and Prichard were opposing
candidates. Newman was tried few
weeks ago for Prichard's murder and
was acquitted This served to arouse
even more bitter feeling.

MURDER PLOT IS
fO|L[D BY PARROT
Screams of Bird Prevent Carry
ing Out of Full Program
by Chicago Robbers.
ROBBERY IS ACCOMPLISHED
Evidence Indicates Plot of R0omer to
Chl0r0form, Rob and Strange
Landlady.

Chicago, June 15.-A plot to chloro-
form, rob and strange Mrs. Theresa
Baker, in which the robbery was &C
complished but a tragedy was pre-
vented by the screams of a parrot,
was brought to the attention of De-
tective O'Brien yesterday.
A score of detectives were detailed
to search for two men, one of whom
rented room from Mrs. Baker last
Monday
Diamond ear rings, a ruby ring and
other valuable articles were taken
from Mrs. Bakers room by young
man. who represented himself as a
travelling salesman.
Find Rope and Poison.
When the man had left in the room
which he had occupied were found a
sponge saturated with chloroform,
and wrapped in two pillow cases a
knotted rope with loop in the end
of it and other articles which the
police declared revealed plan to
strang1e Mrs. Baker after chloroform-
ing her in the same manner in which
Mrs. Frances Gilmore Thompson was
murdered in a Michigan avenue room
ing ho1se.
This, it is believed, was the alter
native prepared if the men were not
successful in accomplishing the rob-
berry without struggle.
Last Monday, according to informa-
ton given the police, a young man
giving the name of Parks applied to
Mrs. Baker for a room, telling her he
had been sent to her by neighbor.
He gave several references, naming
among them prominent members of
the Illinois Athletic club. He was
followed to the building by another
young man, who walked up and down
in front of the place and who was
seen to go away with Parks.
Parrot Screams.
Parks returned and remained in his
room until 10 o'clock the following
morning. Then he came out com
pletely dressed to go out and engaged
in conversation with Mrs. Baker.
Instead of going out he loitered in
the hallway and finally expressed a
wish to see pet parrot owned by
Mrs. Baker.
Mrs. Baker allowed the man to go
to the dining room, while she busted
herself in the front part of the house.
A few minutes later she heard the
parrot scream and rushed back to the
dining room.
She was met at the door by Parks,
who said the parrot had bitten him.
He carried laundry box, which it is
believed contained the stolen proper
ty. He went away and has not been
seen since.

schools and academies of Wisconsin
have been furnished references and
loaned material for the preparation of
their commencement orations, essays
