Nippu Jill and Hawaii Shiupo.
The Jill posted a bulletin on its
outer wall this morning which attract
ed a great crowd BY means of this
bulletin it was announced that the
strikers would eventually win out and
that even now the planters were i'm
fix out Of which Tney could not remove
themselves
On the day when the editor of the
Jill was in Jail every japanese sym
pathizer with the Jijrs cause endeavor-
ed to get his inspiration in type and
the paper that was published was a
strange mixture of libels, unedted and
irresponsible.
LAUGH AT jill.
At the Office of the ShinpO this
morning there was a hearty laugh at
the talk of Negoro about the Japanese
government being induced to demand
an indemnity Of the United States. Il
do not think Japan would do anything
so foolish as to make this incident
here an issue with the United States,
said the editor in charge Mr.. Sheba
being absent
INTERMITTENT STRIKES.
The talk Of Maxine was confirmed
at the office of the Jill in regard to
the plan Of intermittent strikes The
idea is for the Japanese on Eva and
Waialua to work a while and then
strike a while work again and strike
again, with a view to working Just
enough to raise sufficient money
where 10y to live. In the Jill Office it
was reported that number of the
Waiama and Eva japanese had walk
ed out again on Saturday morning and
would remain out until they again
were forced to work in oraer to make
money to buy food
MAKING is CHANGING HEART.
Maxine, at least one of the leaders
though he has claimed to be the CHIEF
leader of the strikers on this island,
has, since his arrest and liberation on
bail, experienced something of change
of heart. He realizes that the action
of the Hawaii Japanese Labor Associa-
tion has probably spoiled his plans to
get the plantations on the Island of
Hawaii to go out on strike and he is
now wondering if the action of the
above named organization is not, after
all, the right way to go about asking
for raise in the pay of laborers. On
Hawaii the laborers are formulating
requests and are continuing to work
in the mills and the fields while their
requests are presented to the various
plantations. Maxine has made the
remark that he is not sure but what
this should have been the method
adopted for the campaign on this ISL
and. But, he says, he does not see
what he can do now except continue
to fight.
MAKINO'S CITIZENSHIP.
There seems to be something of
guess as whether Maxine claims the
protection of the United States, Great
Britain or Japan. He is of British
Japanese ,parentage and was born in
Hawaii At different times he has
been heard to say that he was a Japa-

TALKS OF WASHINGTON.
Maxine declares that the matter of
the imprisonment of himself and 9TH
er Japanese will not stop in the local
courts, but that the affair will be
taken to Washington and that diplc-
matte explanation will be in order In
regard to the opening of his safe while
he was in Jail, he contends that the
authorities had no right to break

admits that he had been asked to him

POLICE ARE PREPARED.
Sheriff Jarrett has issued orders to
the effect that all police officers must
sleep at the police station until further
notice, to be prepared for any emer

strikers now in town, while they have
been guilty of no disturbance beyond
cheering their leaders, are thought to

LACK OF BEEFSTEAK
MAY LEAD TO DIVORCE
WIFE UNr0LDS STORY BEFORE
PUSTICE PIERCE
Says Husband Struck Her Because
He Was Summoned to Partake
of a Meatless
Dinner

How a little matter like the failure
of a wife to supply beefsteak for her
husbands dinner may bring both into
the divorce court was told in Justice
Pierce's court yesterday in the trial of
Richard II. Little. building contract
or, on charge of battery preferred by
his wife, Ellen l. Little.
Mrs. Little said her husband struck
her and pushed her out of the house.
August 19, when he was summoned to
partake of a meatless dinner She add
ed that she told Little she would not
have him arrested If he would agree
not to contest a divorce action.
Little denied his wife's accusation
that he struck her, claiming he was
the victim of conspiracy and that
Mrs. Little brought the charge against
him in order that she might have some
basis for suit asking for legal separa-
tion. Two children of the family COR
roborated their mothers story and
Justice Pierce imposed fine of $50,
which was paid.
Little was then arrested on second
complaint filed by ]. C. Bickford, in
which he is charged with threatening
to kill Bickford in April. He was re-
leased to appear again for trial Friday
morning. The trouble between Little
and Bickford is said to have started
over the killing by the latter of several

CITY ATTORNEY ORDERED
TO COLLECT ON TWO BONDS
Second Security Given by Peter kee-
nan May Be Made Subject Of
Prosecution

The council yesterday instructed the
city attorney to begin proceedings to
collect ON the bonds of J. II. Melville
and Peter Keenan,. Melville and Kee-
nan are contractors who have defaulted
on their contracts, and their work has
been let to higher bidders. The differ
ence between what they offered to do
the work for and the sum at which the
contract was let will be collected from
the bonds.
1t is probable another bond given by
Keenan, will come up for consideration
by the council. It was stated in the
council yesterday that Keenan, had re-
fused to continue work on the Main
street engine house for which he was
awarded the contract. His time for
finishing this contract has long since
expired, and he clamis all his work has
been done, but that the contractor who
has the subcontract for plumbing will
NOT do the work. This does not concern
the city. as Keenan, was awarded the
contract for the entire structure.

Municipal Affairs

than FIFTEEN minutes late in getting to-
gether yesterday morning. But the
members were not as prompt as they
might have been. President Pease and
Councilmen Healy and Wallace We're
the only ones in the council chamber
at 10 o'clock About five minutes later
Yonkin struggled in. and he was soon
followed by Wren. Lyon was a good
ten minutes late, and Clampitt came
when he was ready. The other two
members of the council are away on
leaves of absence.
Another feature that will facilitate
council business was decided on yester-
day. This is the rigid enforcement of
rule nineteen, that prohibits any one
from speaking To a member of the
council during the session. This rule
has been most fagrantly violated,
sometimes to such an extent that the
president would be the only one cogni-
zant Of what the minute clerk was do
ing while all the other members were
talking to SOME one else. Wren dis
covered this deplorable state Of affairs
yesterday morning when he was called
to the chair for a few minutes to take
the place of President Pease, who was
summoned to court.
Wren has been one Of the most fla
grant Violators of rule nineteen, and he
frankly admitted it on the floor of the
council, but he declared he had taken
a resolution to attend strictly to bust
ness hereafter. At the suggestion OF
Councilman Wallace the president was
appointed a committee Of one to confer
with the board of public works and
have q railing built around the seats OF
the cOuncilmen, to keep the general
public from interfering during the
council session. The sergeant-at-arms
will also be instructed to break up any
conv-rsa ton between a councilman and
an outsider during the session.

DAYTON AVENUE WIDENING
is ABANDONED BY COUNCIL
Property Owners Rejoice When Work
on Proposed Improvement Is
Stopped by Protest

Proceedings for the widening Of Day
ton avenue from Pasadena avenue to
Avenue 20 We're abandoned by the city
council yesterday. although the protest
ants did not have majority of the
frontage in the assessment district
But it was evident to the council that
the property owners on Dayton avenue
We're a unit against the proceeding
Nearly every property owner on the
street who could do so appeared before
the council yesterday to plead that the
work be abandoned. Several speakers
declared the property owners on this
street were all poor people who could
not afford to pay the cost of the i'm
provemcnt. and whose little homes
would practically be confiscated if the
work was carried through.
While practically all the property
owners on the street opposed the plan,
the protest did not represent a ma
iority in the assessment district, be-
cause the Dayton avenue improvement
is only a portion Of a large improve
mcnt area recently laid out in the First
ward.
