carrying pocket full of labor
checks, and using them in place of
money. If he desired foreign travel,
could he pay his passage with his
labor checks, and would foreign
countries accept our labor checks in
place of money? This wonderful
economist states in his book that the
medium of exchange had it's origin
in ignorance and greed. Wouldn't
that jar a South Sea Islander? That
is a specimen of ideal Socialism!
The Rev. George Littlefeld in the
October Arena gives the reasons why
he is Socialist. In brief, he says:
Socialism means economic security
it prolongs human life; fosters no.
bier sentiments; makes religion real
secures the home and saves women
from shame; inculcates temperance;
ties the labor question, and because
Socialism is inevitable"
1t would strike an ordinary NOR
tai that this reverend gentleman was
in fit condition for an insane asy-
lum, and it is a wonder that the
Arena would publish such rot. The
Rev. w. G. Bowman, of this city,
publishes a book on Socialism, but
fails to point out the actual work.
ings of that cult. One of the most
popular orators on Socialism, while
Grating" in this city, was asked the
question, what Socialists would do
with the money held by Rockefeller,
Morgan and others?" His answer
was (and I heard it myself, eve
propose to take it." Not only that,
they propose to take possession of
land and all manufacturing indus
tries, besides all implements of every
nature. That is the kind of Social
ism advocated in this section and in
the Western States, and I would ad-
wise Georgia Socialists to think twice
before they unite politically with
such band of would-be robbers.
I desire to make a fair statement
of what Socialism is by quoting from
a publication issued by Allen L. Ben
son, of Milwaukee, and | am in
formed by prominent Socialists that
he represents the sentiments of that
propaganda. l have a copy of his
book, and therefore copy his exact
assertions. He says that, Socialism
would wipe out all class distinction
by compelling every able-bodied man
to work for living, with a guaran-
tee that he would receive the full
product of his labor" Where would
a mans liberty come in if he was
compelled to do that which he did
not desire to do? There must be a
tyrant to enforce such an edict. He
also claims that: Labor made
Rockefeller's fifty millions annually
through monopoly and unpaid Ia
bor," while the fact is, he made that
money by knocking out competition.
There are thousands who receive
all, and much more than, they earn.

GETS SEVEN MONTHS
AND SEVERE LECTURE
Judge De Bolt Tells Fushno and
His Class That They Must
Respect the Law.

In passing sentence on Fushino, con-
victed of unlawfully imprisoning sew
eral fellow countrymen, Judge De Bolt
yesterday handed down as thorough
and severe lecture as ever was given
a convicted criminal. 1t was unfortu-
nate that the prisoner could not get
its full benefit, on account of the need
of an interpreter.
Fushino was given seven months at
hard labor and fined the costs of his
trial. In imposing sentence, the court
outlined the duties of aliens who are,
under the protection of the American
flag towards the society which protects
them and affords them a livelihood
and spoke severely of the disregard
which Fushino s class of japanese have
for the laws.
Fushino was convicted by jury of
unlawfully imprisoning a contractor.

FOLLOWING Up
MAIN PARTY
China, ManChuria and Possibly
Chiyo Maru Bringing
More Russians.

A cablegram from a representative
in Kobe of the board of immigration
gives the information that twelve of
the Russians left behind there will
arri~e here on the China, due October
80, and twelve on the Manchuria, due
November 6. The agent asks whether
arrangements can be made for six more
Russians to come on the Chiyo Maru.
The six appear to be outsiders, but
possibly may have followed the orig
inal lot from Manchuria to Japan in
the hope of being accepted as immi-
grants to Hawaii.
Secretary Savidge of the board of
immigration states that all the Rus
slams were landed at their various des-
tinations without mishap.
The Russian women were extremely
anxious about their sewing machines,
regarding them as priceless possessions.
Their anxiety was so great when the
baggage was being shifted around that
the steamship people gave instructions
that it be handled with the utmost
care. The machines are of the stand
less variety, and cost in Russia about
sixty roubles, representing sum which
is extremely large to Russian peasants.
The same kind of a machine can be
bought here for about IS.

FIELD ARTILLERY
FOR THE ISLANDS
STEAM HAUL FOR THE GUNS
Rumor That Two Batteries May
Be Sent From Fort Riley,
Kansas.

Two batteries of field artillery are
reported to have been selected by the
war department to augment the forces
in this island. They may come from
Fort Riley, Kansas.
Siege batteries were received here
some time ago from the mainland, and
the guns are now stored at Fort Ruger.
They are mounted and of the mobile
class, but it would require several spans
of horses or mules to move them about
on this island. There are some small
er guns which could more easily be
taken from one point to another here,
and it is likely that such guns would
be manned by the field artillerymen.
The question of moving batteries
about this island has resumed discus
sions, among military men here, of the
benefit to be obtained by the use of
traction engines. The British and
German armies are equipped with trac-
1tions to move their artillery about, and
in the Boer war they We're used to ad-
vantage. During the Crimean war, en-
gines were also employed to transport
the heavy siege guns.
It is argued by military men here
that the traction engines could carry
a train of heavy guns over the rough
est kind of country, where horses and
mules could not bulge them. If a
heavy battery had to be transported
across a cane field where the soil is
soft and wheels would sing deep, a
traction engine would be the easiest
means of accomplishing this move. If
trees are to be pulled up, a traction
engine S power can do it. If road is
to be hardened, a traction engine is
equipped for that purpose. If a trench
is needed, a traction engine can do
the work quickly. If field camp
needs electricity, its engines can sup
ply the power to generate the current
in field dynamos. Recommendations
may be made to the war department
to have traction engines assigned to
Oahu for the primary purpose of mev-
ing the heavy siege guns about the
island.

kATO SAYS He
SLASHED FUkUI
FIGHT OVER A HALF DOLLAR
His Victim, Seriously Wounded,
Lies at the Queens
Hospital.
TIGHT OVER A HALF DOLLAR

Kato, prisoner at the police station
held under the investigation method,
confessed to Deputy Sheriff Rose yes
terday that he had cut up Fukui in
Kalihi Valley on Sunday afternoon
over half dollar dispute No charge
has been placed against him so far,
because his victim is in serious con
dition at the Queens Hospital.
Kato has explained to the deputy
that on Sunday he, with some friends,
was in the house of a countryman of
theirs in Kalihi Valley, when Fukui
came into the house. The latter, ac-
cording to Kato, owed the latter half
a dollar. Kato inquired when Fukui
intended paying the half back. Fukui
retorted by saying that Kato was MAX
ing too public use of the fact of the
Indebtedness, and grew angry at being
dunned
He suddenly came over to Kato and
struck him. A fight ensued, ending up
with the two men struggling in a cor
ner. At this juncture Kato says that
Fukui pulled knife and endeavored
to stab him, whereupon he fought for
the possession of the weapon and Sc
cured it, During the fighting he says
that Fukui was cut.
The knife was not to be found when
the special police officer arrived at the
house. A search was made for it yes
terday, but no trace of it could be
found. Kato does not say that he
threw it away, and says he does not
remember anything about the blade
after the fight. The owner of the
house adds nothing to the story of the
fracas, as he was asleep when the fight
started and kept asleep persistently.

KNIFE WAS NOT

Instead, Mort Wanted a Finger
Edge on Weapon Only to
Pare His Nails.

The testimony of Mori, given on
direct and cross-examination yesterday
will probably do more towards convict
ing him of the charge of murderous as
sault against Sheba than any evidence
that the prosecution has introduced
The prosecution placed two more wit
nesses on the stand early yesterday and
completed its case. The attorneys for
the defense Immediately opened their
case by placing the defendant himself
on the stand. 1t is probable that they
will place few, if any, other witnesses
on and the case will, in all probability,
be in the hands of the jury today.
Slight contradictions were picked
ont by Cathcart in Mort IS testimony,
but on the whole it agreed even with
that given by Sheba on the stand, and
the attempt of the defense to disprove
the murderous intent was not apparent
" very successful.
The purchase of the knife and Mort s
subsequent use of it became the nail
upon which the defense hangs. Accord
ing to the young defendant, he had
no intention, when buying it, of using
it for any more militant purpose than
pairing his toe-nails. In consequence,
the toe-nails of Tomikichi Mort became
an object of speculative interest for
t he time being.

Prince Ito Hirobumi was sixty-nine
years old and has been prominent in
japanese affairs for the past forty.five
years. Four times he has been pre-
mier, was leading diplomat, was res
ident-general in Korea and lately
confidential adviser to the Emperor.
1t was due to plot to assassinate him
in 1868 that he was led first to visit
civilized countries, where he enlarged
his views of the relations OF nations.
and thus paved the way for his re-
markabIe career as one of the most
important factors in preparing Japan
to become one of the great powers. In
1868 he fed from Japan, taking refuge
from threatened murder on board an
English vessel. Thirty-six hours out
he emerged from his hiding place and,
being regarded as a stowaway, was
made a cabin boy. On reaching Eng
land he remained year, picking up
the English language to some extent.
Then he became one of Japanese
embassy and assisted in the first

AhALCAMAT|ON
Of TWO Biz
FIRMS
Brewer & Co. and Irwin & Co.
Will Be One Concern
Hereafter.
IRWIN & co. WILL CEASE
Shareholders Will Receive Stock
in Brewer & C0.-lrWin
to Retire.

- Yesterday was announced one Of the
biggest business changes that has taken
place in Hawaii for some time, the cor
porations of W. G. Irwin & Co.
and Brewer & Co. having ANAL
gamated. Through this amaIgamation,
the old firm of w. G. Irwin & Co.
ceases to exist and a stronger Brewer
Il Go. appears.
All the interests of Irwin & Co.
are absorbed in the new Brewer &
Co, which viii increase it's capital
stock sufficiently to exchange stock in
the corporation for the Irwin stock in
the hands of the shareholders in that
concern.
This deal is one for a closer coOpera-
ton between the various plantation in
terests and other business heretofore
controlled by the two corporations. The
ANA gamatiOn affects in no wise the
banking business of Spreckels s. Co.,
which is a separate corporation from
that of Irwin Il Co.
As = result Of the amalgamation, Mr..
Irwin Will be enabled to retire from
active business, an example which will
probably be followed by W. A. Giffard,
who has been Mr.. Irwin Honolulu
representative and manager for many
Years.
Particulars Not Known.
The definite particulars of the ANAL
gamation are not known locally, al
though the officials of both the cor
porations knew that the deal was about
to be consummated, E. Faxon Bishop,
the secretary and treasurer of Brewer
& Co, having gone to the Coast to
consult with Mr.. Irwin in the matter.
Until further particulars of the
amalgamation are received it will not
be known to what amount the capital
stock of Brewer & Co. will have to be
added to to cover the Irwin & Co.
shares. nor exactly what is proposed.
