Talks About Racing.

At the Washington Asylum for the In
sane the unidentified patient talked freely
with Star reporter today. He showed a
perfect understanding Of where he was
and of his condition, but the only clue he
gave to his past life was the display of
an intimate knowledge of horse racing.
This came out while The Star reporter
was asking about matters of general
knowledge. The patient said he knew
Taft was President, and added that he
also knew that Hughes was Governor
of New York.
His knowledge Of Hughes stuck. he said.
because of Hughes campaign against
horse racing. Then the unknown man
reeled off lot Of information about 1.-THE
ponies" He knew all about all the tracks
in the country and which were in opera
ton at the present time.
As to cities, he showed an intimate
knowledge with New York, Chicago and
Indianapolis, naming readily streets and
public buildings in those cities and de-
scribing their location.
In answer to questions regarding the
army and navy he said emphatically that
he had never served in either branch.
Officers Of the hospital are confident that
the patient was at once time close fol-
lower of the races, and will press their
inquiries among racing men.

The matter was placed in charge of j.

Natalie found on the body papers to

Stepan Metrof rushed into his house,

pale as a ghost and his eyes starting
out of his head.

leave it to me-"
Metrof shook his head doubtfufly.
Nevertheless he had confidence in his
wife's ingenuity and hoped. In a
week he was apparently very iii. His
wife sent for Alex Gagin, president of
the circle, to come and see him. Me
trof was in bed. His wife said that
worry over the order to kill the min
lister was driving him into the grave.
In two weeks from that time Natalie
sent again for Gagin, who came and
saw Metrof lying in his coffin. Natalie
had painted his face so that he made
disagreeable looking corpse.
"See what you have done"' she said
covering her hands and weeping CO.
piously.

tuously. your husband was cow

glass, placed it before Metrof's nos
trils. Metrof heard him ask for the
glass and when the test was made held
his breath Gagin, catching no mois-
ture on the glass, went away again
this time for good.
The next day Natalie, in the garb
Of widow, followed coffin in which
there were stones and boards to the
grave, and new man was chosen to
kill the minister.
Two years later Metrof and his wife
were living in New York, keeping a
wine shop. One day man entered
the shop and, sitting at table, called
for a glass of wine. At seeing Metrof
he looked at him keenly. Metrof went
into a back room, where he found
Natalie and told her that Peter Kata-
visof, one of the circle which had or
dered him to kill the minister, was in
the shop and had recognized him, 4

added.
Natalie, instead of giving way to
grief, began to think.
"You must die again." she said pres

'That game will not work twice"

Metrof kept a revolver in the house.
His wife went out and got paper

ting water and the dye on the sponge
and handing her husband the revolver
loaded with blank cartridges she gave
him instructions what to do. Metrof
went out into the shop, where he

TITLE IS
ALL RIGHT
UNCLE SAM WILL PAY OVER COIN
TOMORROW FOR LAND FOR
ARMY USE

A cable was received this morning
from Washington authorizing the pay
ment of the money for the Waikiki
lands taken by the federal government
for military purposes, amounting to
about $4,000, and Major Winslow will
pay the money at once.
This means that the title sent to
Washington last month by District At
torney Breckons has been approved by
the attorney general and that the re-
clamation of duck ponds will go ahead
at once, Uncle Sam now having COM
plete possession.
The title was a most complicated one
and there were fears that legal diff
culties might hold matters up.

Responding to a question regarding
what resources would be left for meet
ing Territorial debt obligations if the
proceeds from sales of public lands
were devoted to road construction and
purchase of property for public uses as
provided by various laws, Governor
Frear this afternoon stated in effect
that the two matters were not alto
gether inconsistent.
In the first place, the Governor
said, "all of the proceeds of land sales
are not used for roads. In the second
place "a law was passed two years ago
which provides for sinking fund. An
amount of the current revenue is to
be set aside which, compounded, would
produce enough to redeem an issue OF
bonds at maturity.
There was an issue of $294,OOO OF
public Improvement bonds this last
period. The Territory has to set aside
for the redemption of these bonds over
900 a year.

plantation, was in town this morning
and stated that everything was quiet
at Aiea and that there had been no
developments in the past twenty-four
hours.
Fred Maxine, leader of the Japanese
laborers' association feels that he is
much misunderstood and declares that
it is not money-making proposition
as far as he and his friends are con-
cerned, this strike business. He fur
ther states that the strike has come
on for the reason that the plantation
laborers themselves wanted it and his
association is guiding them, with
Lightfoot for lawyer
CALL FOR MONEY.
A call has gone ont among all the
islands, according to Maxine, for the
raising of funds to support the strill-
ers and the leaders expect to raise one
hundred thousand dollars among plan
tatiOn hands and japanese merchants
throughout the Territory.
GOOD FOR SIX MONTHS.
In the meanwhile the Aiea planta-
ton laborers, on strike, says Maxine,
are good for six months, there being
plenty of money to provide for them
Maxine made the statement that
Waialua was anxious to strike and
that there were number on Wal
pahu not anxious TO go out.
1t might appear odd that the asso-
citation discouraged Waialua at this
time and urged Waipahu to strike,
Tut there would seem to be reasons
for wanting Waipahu to go on strike
and for Waialua to wait, though Ma
kino would not say what these rea-
sons might be.

The strike of the Japanese planta-
ton laborers has spread to the Oahu
plantation at Waipahu, but in such a
manner that the strikers have little
cause for self-congratulation.
While the majority of the laborers
are striking and the mill is complete
Iy tied up at present, number of
the Japanese are well satisfied and
state that they have only quit work
on account of the fact that they were
forced to it by the strikers.
The Chinese on the plantation, who
are about 2S0 in number, are still at
work and the japanese on Ford's ISL
and and some of the other outlying
parts of the plantation have not quit.
HACKFELD'S STATEMENT.
When asked ror statement of con-
ditions this noon, j. F. Hackfeld, of
H. Hackfeld & Company, the agents
of the Oahu Sugar Company, made
the following statement:
This morning the Japanese labor
crs quit work on the Oahu plantation,
after presenting Manager Bull with
demands which are similar to those
which were presented yesterday to
Manager Ross at Aiea The Chinese
are still at work and a number of
the Japanese on the outlying portions
oe the plantation did not quit The
mill is shut down.
NOT MUCH CANE ON HAND.
Yesterday the mill was running
under a reduced force and | cannot
tell you what cane we-have on hand,
but it is not very much as we have
been cutting slowly for the past few
days. Everything has been very
quiet, with no trouble
VIOLENCE THREATENED.
1t is understood on good authority
that one of the largest Japanese con-
tractors on the Waipahu plantation
has stated that he did not wish to quit
work but was forced to by threats of
violence. The fact that he has been
forced into line shows that the SEN
timent in favor of strike is not un-
animous and that part of the Japanese
will be ready to side against the
strike agitators.
