CONSPIRACY OF JAPS
OFFICIALLY CHARGED
Interesting Ramifications to
Strike of Sugar Industry
LabOrers in Hawaii.

HONOLULU, June 11.-Evidence of
what the authorities claim is a con
certcd movement on the part of the
Japanese of the Hawaiian group to con
troll the sugar industry and thus domi
nate the internal affairs of the islands
through their number and power, was
disclosed today when the offices of the
Jill, n Japanese newspaper of Hon
olulu, and the offices of the Japanese
Higher Wage association were entered
by officers armed with search warrants
and letters, and reports and other docu-
ments seized.
= Following the confiscation of the pa.
pers the application for writ or
habeas corpus, entered in behalf OF
Maxine, Negoro and Soga, the three
alleged leaders of the sugar plantation
strikers. who were taken into custody
yesterday. was rejected by the court.
1t is claimed by the authorities that
the papers found indicate that n con-
spiracy of Il widespread nature has been
formed among the Japanese of the
islands to wrest control Of affairs from
the white residents and conduct the
internal government in their own inter
ests.
Chance for Demonstration.
The letters and reports found in the
which, as indicated by its name, has
the financial betterment of the Jap
anesc laborers as its object, are from
members and agents of the ASSOCIATION
IN various parts of the islands. They
express the belief that the strike of
the Japanese plantation workers offers
an opportunity for the Japanese of the
islands, by virtue of their numbers, to
demonstrate their power TO control the
sugar industry, and, through it, the
general affairs of the islands.
The determination TO so control, 1T is
stated. is reiterated again and again
in these documents.
An appeal to all japanese, in tho
name of their native country. to aud
IN this movement, is said 10 be CON |
viewed in the letters.
The authorities are preparing com
plcte translations Of all the papers
seized and it is stated that they will |

charges of conspiracy. which il is de- |
clarcd will result from the disclosures. |
While the court was dclibcrating up |
on the first habeaS corpus petition. n |
crowd of thousand japanese gathered |
about the courthouse to await the out
conc. The gathering was perfectly or
dcrly in its department, but vented IT'S |
spirit in cheers for the prisoners when
ever they came in sight.
\ second petition has been filed by
the attorneys for the prisoners, but
has not been acted upon by the court,
The strike of the Japanese planta-
ton hands has been in progress for
over month and is the most extensive
walkout ever known on the islands. Be
tween 5000 and 5000 japanese are in
yolvcd. The strikers demand An in
