Interrogated on his statement on
direct that there had been no vio-
lence among the strikers, he was
asked II two japanese from Waipahu
recruiting labor in Honolulu had
not been seized at public hotel,
forced against their will into hack
tnd conveyed before officers of the
Waipahu Association. He admitted
that he had heard of 1t and had In
fact assisted in getting bail for the
men who were arrested for doing
this act but persistently disclaimed
any responsibility for branch asso-
Citations, and when violence done by
branch associations were shown to
be spoken Of approvingly In the jill
he disclaimed responsibility for the
Jill, even where letters In the jill
had been sent ADDRESSED to the High
or Wage Association of Honolulu.
While inquiry was being directed to
the seizure and trial of men from
Waipahu recruiting labor above re-
ferred to the inability of the police for
weeks past to find and seize Hata, was
referred TO. Hata having been mixed
up in that affair. Mr.. Lightfoot de.
| clared this phase of II made him laugh
and declared:
"Why didn't the police seize Hata,
II he was concerned in that action In.
timidating japanese from Waipahu.
This led to protest by Mr. Kin.
ney against the action of Mr.. Light
foot as an officer of the court In treat.
ing the defeat of the police in locating
Hata and arresting him under warrant
of the court for felony as matter of
congratulation, and the police as an
object to be jeered at
Mr.. Lightfoot disclaimed any such
motive, and the incident was closed
by the statement of the court that 1t
did not wish to prejudice the rights of
the defendants by commenting on the
tone and temper of Mr.. Lightfoots re-
marks and that they might be consid.
cred. however ,at another time and
place.
During references to Hata and the
way in which he has defed arrest by
the police while apparently going at
large openly among the japanese, II
developed from the admission of Ne
goro that for the past six nights he
had been In company with Hata and
that Hata was a delegate to the con.
vention of Higher Wage Delegates re-
Gently held In this city.
Counsel for the defense protested
violently against this evidence, but
! the Court admitted 1t over his protest
apparently on the ground urged by
the prosecution that 1t showed the
criminal protection by Higher Wage
leaders of those who had violated the
law In its service, Hata being wanted
for leading the Waipahu riot
II is evident now from papers TAX
len off the person of Mort that Ncgoro
Hata and Mort were In close toucl
during las. week. though this did no
appear at all in the case, reference
being confined TO Negoro and Hata.
