Plenty of Work Found for Men

All of the Portuguese immigrants who

The men all claim to be skilled mechan-

Special Agent Silva. at Fall River
Mass, to work at their trades in Ha-

supposed to be plantation laberers, they
raised ia howl and cried that they had
been fooled.
But the Board of Immigration had no
intention of allowing them to suffer,
and at once sent out representative to
see what could be done in the way of
finding employment for skilled work
men. Yesterday morning early the job
rustler got to work land by two O'clock
yesterday afternoon he had every one
placed. And the pay in each case is
fully up to the standard which the men
claim they were promised in Fall River.

placed them,' said the representative
of the Board of immigration yesterday.
IL IS now up TO the men themselves.

claim to be, they have lucrative EN-

ATCHERLEy APPEALS
FOR TRIAL BY JURY

DR.. Atcherley has made new move
in his fight to escape the insane asy-
lum. Yesterday afternoon attorney
Harrison, who is defending the para
noiac doctor, served notice on the Coun-
ty Attorney that he would move be-
fore Judge Robinson at $3.50 this
morning for trial by jury.
DIR. Atcherley escaped on former
occasion being sent to the asylum
through appealing his case to a jury,
and it is evident that he hopes to be
equally successful again, if he can OBJ
tain the right of jury trial. In ease
such right is denied by the Circuit
Judge, the doctor will in all probability
appeal the question to the Supreme
Court.
The new Lunacy Law passed by the
recent Legislature was intended to
eliminate the trial by jury of persons
accused of insanity, but Atcherley holds
the law to be unconstitutional on that
point. and will try to have the courts
uphold him in his contention.

OLD SUIT REWvEO
AFTER THREE YEARS

If the Territory wins the suit which
was instituted by the Attorney Gen
eral's department back in 1906 and,
after having been allowed to slumber
for three years, was revived yesterday
by motion filed by Deputy Attorney
General Andrews, the Territory will
be in position, if it wishes, to order
a part of the Moana Hotel and one of
its cottages torn down as constituting
nuisance in that they obstruct the
right of way from Ainahau to the sea-
shore. Whether any such radical
course would be allowed in the event
of the Territory winning the suit is a
question, though the probabilities are
that the matter would be compromised
in some way, probably through the
granting of another right of way.
The matter was first brought up in
1904 when Lorrin Andrews was At
torney General of the Territory, though
the suit was not fled until after he
had resigned and his place had been
taken by E. C. Peters. Back a good
many years ago the outlet from Gov
ernor Cleghorn' place to the seashore
crossed Waikiki at a point little
above the present site of the Moana
Hotel According to the contention of
the Attorney General IS department,
Frank Hustace and w. c. Peacock
closed up the road, and took possession
of the land, each giving the other a
quit claim deed to half of it. This
was in 1903 Hustace built a house
on the land. now commonly known as
the old Hustace place, which has since
been sold to the Territorial Hotel Com
pany and is now used as an adjunct of
the Moana Hotel.
In 1906 the Territory fled suit to
abate nuisance and have the OBJ.
structing fences and building torn
down. The defendants to the suit
were Nellie f. Hustace, Frank Hus.
tace, her husband, Territorial Hotel
Company, Ltd.y Alexander Young, trus-
tee; Bathsheba NJ Allen and Mark P.
Robinson. trustees of the estate Of s.
C. Allen.
For some reason, probably because
it was hoped that compromise might
be arrived at, the suit was never
pressed But the return of Lorrin An
drews to the Attorney Generals office
has brought it to mind again, and yes
terday notice was filed on the attorneys
for the defendants to appear on Wed
nesday in court to have the demurrer
which was filed long ago set down for
hearing.

Yokogawa was indicted by the Fed
eral grand jury in January on the
charge of having obscene matter in
his possession for sale. He pleaded
guilty to the charge, and begged the
court to punish him with fine instead
of sending him to Jail. Although his
offense was fragrant, the court was
ienient and let him off with fine of
800 and costs.
But Yokogawa seems to have learn
ed nothing of the intended lesson, for
two weeks ago he was again arrested
on a similar charge. Even that, how
ever, had no effect, for he has stead
tasty continued in the course of con-
duet which had already got him into
trouble Every issue of the Shinbun
since his second arrest has contained
matter which the United States Dis
trict attorney characterizes as indie
scribably filthy. Articles in the is
sues of July 20 and July % were, it
is alleged, particularly obscene. The
papers were sent through the mail,
which is a serious violation of the Fed
eral laws, and it is the intention OF
the district attorney to do everything
in his power to see that fokogawa
pays the penalty for his defiance of
the laws of government and deceney.
Obscenity appears to be a vice ex-
tremely prevalent among certain
class of the japanese who have. come
to these islands. The postcards found
in the safe of Maxine Higginbothan,
and which have led to his arrest by
the Federal authorities, are disgusting
ly vile, and the authorities are deter
mined to prosecute him to the limit
of the law for having them in his
possession and for sale, as they be-
lieve he did.
