Honolulu, June 20.-The latest de-
velopment of the complicated situa-
ton which has grown out of the
strike of Japanese plantation laborers
and the subsequent arrest of their
leaders is charge of burglary pre-
ferred by the accused men against
High Sheriff William Henry and At
torneys William A. Kinney and Ma
son Prosser, counsel for the planters
association.
The accusation grows out of the
blowing of the safe in the Office of the
Jiji, the radical Japanese newspaper,
and the seizure of books and papers
belonging to Editor Sega and others,
which are alleged to have revealed
conspiracy among the leaders of the
strike to obtain control of the islands.
The matter is now being Investigated
by the grand jury.
