SIEh MER PERSIA CHARTERED BY
CHINESE FIRM TO RUN TO MAN
ZANILLO MAY STOP HERE.

Taking advantage of the Chinese
boycott against japanese Yessel and
goods, the Pacific Mail steamer Per-
sia has been chartered and will imme-
diately be placed on the run between
Hongkong and Manzanillo, Mexico, in
opposition to the Toyo Kisen Kaisha.
She is under charter to the Eng Hok
Fong steamship company, of Hong
kong. and Captain Lockett, formerly
of the Algoa and his chief engineer
went out on the Asia to take charge
of her in the new work.
Mr. Fong, the principal owner Of
the company, was among the passen-
gers on the Persia and stated this
morning that while the Persia would
probably not stop at Honolulu on her
first trip, it was very likely that she
would make this a port of call later
on The negotiations for the steamer
have been carried on very quietly and
not till the Persia had left San Fran
cisco did Captain Lockett learn to
what ports he was going to run. This
was evidently done in order that the
Japanese line might have as little time
as possible in which to prepare for
competition.
Mr. Fong has been in the freight
business with a small vesesl between
Hongkong and Salina Cruz for several
years, but with the new connections
which have been made at Manzanillo
by the Mexican National Railroad has
shifted his base anG is now spread
ing out with improvements and fig
ures on a good passenger traffic as
well as the freight business which he
already has control Of The fact that
a Chinese firm is running a vessel in
opposition to a japanese company will
mean that, under the existing boycott
conditions the Persia will be able to
take a great part of the Mexican
freight away from the Togo Kisen
Kaisha boats of the Mexico and South
American run. She will also take
the cream of the Chinese passenger
traffic which goes to Mexico
When asked what freight he expect
ed to take back, Mr. Fong stated that
he would have plenty to handle in
the line of hardwood timber, coffee
and cotton. Going out he would car
ry Chinese merchandise for which
there is a big demand in Mexico. where
there are very many Chinese laborers.
He was apparently very much interest
ed in the local situation and asked
many questions in regard to condi-
tions in Honolulu.

Year IMPRISONMENT
FOR JAPANESE STRIKER
PLEADS GUILTY TO ASSAULT ON CHINESE AND PORTUGUESE
STRIKEBREAKERs AND DECLA RES AND NOT
KNOW WHAT HE MONTHS HARD LABOR ON


Hagayashi, Japanese, this morning
pleaded guilty in police court on two
counts of assault and battery and was
sentenced to imprisonment for six
months on each count, making a term
of one year
Hagayashi yesterday morning gave
chase, armed with murderous looking
knife, to a Chinese and to a Portuguese,
workmen on Waipahu plantation.
The Chinese and the Portuguese
claim that they were going peaceruny
about their business, working for the
plantation, when the Japanese appear
ed flourishing his knife, and attempt
ed to get at the Chinese who ran. He
then turned his attention to the Por-
tuguese who put up a fight and receiv-
ed for his pains crack across the left
wrist with a broom handle.
They claimed that the Japanese had
ordered them not to work for the
plantation, that he cursed them for
having anything to do with the plan
tation, using foul language and threat
ening to kill them If they did not quit
their jobs, the belief being that Haga-
yashi is an agent Of the Higher Wage
Association and was picketed in the
public road for the purposes of holding
up Japanese, and possibly others, who
wished to go to the fields to labor.

1t will probably be close to four
o'clock this afternoon when the jury
trying the Waipahu riot case will re-
tire TO consider it's verdict.
Mr.. Lightfoot, who began his ad-
dress TO the jury before the noon re-
cess yesterday had not concluded when
noon recess arrived today. He stated
to a Star reporter that he should like
ly take half an hour more when the
court resumed at two o'clock.
Mr.. Kinney will probably take not
less than an hour to reply for the
Judge Robinson's instruc-
tions are not very long, so that there
is fair prospect of giving the case
to the jury about four o'clock.
If it is not to be a mistrlal, a YER
dict ought to be forthcoming some
time before midnight.
Mr.. Lightfoot rang the changes this
morning on what might have happen

Judging by the court records for
some time past. there is a matrimonial
strike among the Japanese. A few
years ago it was a marriage boom with
this nationality here Scarcely day
passes now without from one to sew
eral Japanese divorce suits being be-
gun or concluded. Mostly the cause
is desertion, with an occasional dash
of cruelty, on the part of the hus-
band.
Hatsuyo Hanasaki is suing for di-
vorce from Kumitaro Hanasak, alleg
ing extreme cruelty in beating and
bruising followed by desertion. They

ed if Miyauchi, one of the defendants,
had not played the role of peacemak-
er as represented by the defense. Mi
yauchi's advice to the officers to keep
their pistols from view, as the Jap
anese were not afraid of being shot,
was put in the light of conciliatory
diplomacy and God only knows, coun-
sci said over and over agaIn, what
might have happened II the officers
had not retreated 10 the Higher Wage
Office with their prisoner, on the peace
makers advice, and the Japanese sur
rounding them had not obey ed Miya-
uchis command or entreaty to dis
perse. Had it not been for Miyauchi's
benign diplomacy and tactics there
might have been a smashing of win
dows and slaughter of people. There
would have been something like riot,
the attorney intimated, but instead of
a trial for riot there might have been
a dozen murder cases in court today.

CRAZY COMMISSION IS RAILRo AIDING HIM TO THE ASYLUM

City and County Attorney John W..
Cathcart led the prosecution. Others
present were: City and County Assis-
tant Attorney Milverton, Police Court
Prosecutor A NJ Brown, Attorney
General Hemenway. Deputy High
Sheriff Chester Doyle, DR.. Wayson, Of
ficers of the court and representatives
of the press.
Judge Andrade, tho police court cal
endar being a heavy one, suggested
that one witness be put on and that
the case then be continued until Mon
day, but DR. Atcheriey insisted on the
proceeding going forward at once and
the court, asking AtcheTley to wait
a few minutes, disposed of the rest OF
the calendar and gave the Atcherley
case the right of way.
The evidence of the doctors of the
commission brought out on the exam
inatiOn by Mr.. Cathcart was to the ef-
feet that they had each, severally and
together, examined DY. Atcherley
questioning him and otherwise inves-
tigating his case, and that he had
manifested a fixed illusion in regard
to his frequently reported hearing OF
strange and mysterious voices from
the sewers and by means of an imag-
mary telephone.
These voices, Atcherley had serious
ly contended, were the voices of Ches-
ter Doyle, DR.. Wayson, Attorney, Cath

Deputy Sheriff Overend lat the time
of the mans escape, was deputy under
Andrews. John and Charles Moore
were jailer and deputy jailer, respec-
lively, and lost their positions as a re-
suit of the escape, the prisoner prac-
ticaily walking out o. prson.
Since the sentence of death was not
carried out on the day and date when
it was ordered, the question arises
whether or not Fujihara can be exc
cuted. for legally he is already dead.
He has been brought to Honolulu for
safe keeping until it is settled when or
whether he actually dies

A greater intellectual crowd than was
evident this morning has seldom II
ever crammed the police court 1t
was the occasion of the hearing of Dr..
John Atcherley charged, under the
form of the law of the last Legisla-
ture. with being insane.
The Insanity Commission, Doctors
Emerson, Collins, Sinclair and Mac
kali, severally took the stand and, in
substance, testified that they had ex-
amined the subject, had arrived at the
conclusion that he was a victim of
paranoea which took the form of his
entertaining the fixed diffusion that
he is prosecuted, and that 1t would
be dangerous for the community for
him to retain his freedom.
DR.. Atcherley refused to consider
the proposition, advanced by Judge
Andrade, that he retain an attorney
to defend him. Atcherley conducted
his own case, assisted ably by his de-
voted wife who prompted him occa-
sionally in matters of occurrence and
who took copious notes of the pro.
ceedlngs.
