JAPAN'S PREMIER
PLEADS For PEACE
WITH AMERICA
Says Feeling of Government
for the United States Is an
Amicable One.

TOXIC. Feb. 2~.-Speaking before the
lower house of the Diet today, Foreign
Minister Komura outlined the foreign
policies of Japan in a carefully worded
speech delivered before a full and at
~tentive house. The opening sentence
gave the keynote of the entire speech,
when Count Komura said:
THE foreign policy of this empire
should have as an object the mainten-
ance of peace and the development OF
national resources
He dwelt at length Upon the relations
between Japan and America. He said.
1.-The friendship of Japan and the United
States is traditional, and it is absolutely
essential that boil maintain unimpaired
those sentiments OF amity and extend
and strengthen them by every means.
Notwithstanding the perfect accord
which has always existed regarding the
aims of the two countries in the Far
East and in the Pacific, it appears that
doubts have been entertained in some
quarters concerning the sincerity of the
intentions.
Relies on American Justice.
with regard TO the question of legis-
lation unfavorable to the Japanese now
pending in California, the imperial gov
eminent is relying on the sense of JUS
tice of IN American people together
with the friendly disposition of the
Federal government, and is confident
that the question will not lead to inter-
national complications
The foreign ministers speech was re-
ceived with applause by the govern
ment side of the house, but Count Hat
tori, an Opposition member, immedi-
ately began a bitter and sensational at
tack on the foreign policy of the gov
eminent. He said that Japan had no
determined foreign policies and thai
this was shown by her present attitude
toward America, where Japanese were
denied an equal opportunity and were
even abused by Americans.
Attacks New Agreement.
The recent events, he said, had proved
that the an~ti-Japanese sentiment in
America had not subsidized. The speaker
attacked particularly the recently con-
cluded agreement between Japan and
America, Saying ne peiGF0u th0 japan
csc foreign office was forced by the
American government 10 sign the
in order TO prevent competi-
ton by the Japanese on the Pacific
coast.
He declared that Japan's dignity had
been injured thereby. and he passion-
ately urged the government to enforce
the principle of equal opportunity which
alone could solve the question of the
rights of the Japanese in foreign
tries. Count Hattori's speech was

Permanent Organization Not

PRICE AND DETAILS
IN COMMITTEES HANDS
Many Prominent Merchants Are
Present to Discuss Pro-
posed Improvement.

After talking for two hours in the
hall at ATS Broad street last night CT
the proposition to illuminate the
street from Central avenue north to
Bloomfield avenue, upward of forty
merchants did not form a permanent
lighting or improvement association
for that section. 1t was agreed that
the cost of the lighting was the great
obstacle in the way of getting small
retail dealers to pay a pro rata share
Il the cost.
r. r. Young, for the Public Service,
said the cost per year of lighting the
1aring lamps on South Broad street
was $270 ach for thirty-four lamps,
with the lamp poles were 100 feet apart.
The contract with the merchants
n the city provides that the city
shall pay $40 for each lamp a year and
the merchants 5000 a lamp, or less than
Sc a foot front a month for each mer-
chant.
1.-THE Public Service wants to help this
section" said Mr.. Young, "and If you
will give us the number of lamps O
need in your section our company will
make a three years contract with you
on the same terms as the South Broad
association has, provided the lamps are
set 100 feet apart. We shall illuminate
our large building at Broad street and
Central avenue so profusely that it
will attract a great many people to
North Broad street"
Several men remarked hat the mer-
chants on the east side of Broad, from
Trinity Church up to Bridge street,
opposite Washington Park, would not
join the movement because of the ex-
pense, and that dealers north of Eighth
avenu to Bloomfield said they could
not afford to pay more than $25 to $50
a year.

HEAD OF BASS BREWERY
is DEAD, AGED n.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-Michael Arthur
Bass. Baron Burton. who was director
of the brewing company of Bass & Co,
died yesterday. He was born in 1887.
Although Lord Burton was best
known to the public as the head of the
famous firm. his true claim TO be re-
membered is based On his enormous do
nations to public and charitable works.
He spent the equivalent of a large
fortune in improving and beautifying
the town of Burton-upon-Trent. He
was also a great art collector, and prob
ably no other private collection has SO
many gems by Reynolds, G-ainsborough
and Romney.

LEGISLATORS INSPECT
INSANE ASYLUM

Under the auspices of the Public
Health and Police Committee, the mem
bers of the Legislature yesterday Wis
tied and inspected the Queens hos
pital and the asylum for the insane
Both institutions were found to be in
excellent order.
At the asylum, where there are now
213 patients, an hour was spent. A
number of the inmates presented re.
quests to the members for an inquiry
into their sanity, a usual proceeding.
A great many questions were asked
relative to the work of the guards, it
being stated that these officers are OBJ
Hged now to work twelve hour shifts
and carry on the work of watching
the institution with an insufficient num-
Der. It is probable that the matter
of increasing the number of guards will
come up later in the House.

DOLE SPEAKS ON

Interesting and ForcefuI Speech
Is Given at the Parish
House.

"There is only one cure for bad de-
mocraey-th is more and better de-
mocraey. We are beginning to return
to the idea of local patriotism, to the
idea of the intelligent, prosperous bus
mess man taking an active interest in
the progress of affairs in his municipal
government 1t is not the humber
class now that we fear, nor do we fear
Their numbers, but it is the careless
ness, the lack of public spirit, and the
Indifferent attitude that is too often
displayed by the intelligent people of

are those who neglect the government
of their home city in order to forward
tEeir selfish interests in getting rich -
Rev. Charles T. Dole, the noted d.
vine and literary man, spoke before
a large audience at the parish house
of the Central Union church last even
ing, taking for his topic, Modern So
eial Movements the above being
quoted from his address. He intro
duced his theme by saying that this
age was a most interesting one to be
living in on account of the trend of
things. ''Never has there been a
time" he said, 'twhen there were so
many social movements going on as at
the present day. 1t is like looking at
great breakwater, work on which has
been going on in ages past, and seeing
the top reach the surface. Great is

For an example, there is the prob

was once counted as an individual prob
lem; now it is coming to be seen as
one of the great social problems. Once
it was considered as a habit which eff
fected the drinker only; now it is seen
as affecting the business society. Gam
bling was never recognized as an evil
until recently. It is now looked upon
as such because of it's effect upon So

WHEN SHELLS
EXPLODE HERE
Red Cross Will Have Work in
Caring for the
Wounded.

In times of peace prepare for war,
or at least the horrors of war, was
the burden of an important talk by
DIR. C. B. Wood before the Red Cross
Society yesterday afternoon in Judge
Dole's chambers. In case Hawaii
should be called upon to stand the
brunt of an attack by a hostile force,
the members of the Red Cross Society
should be qualified to attend to the
injured, and in order to do this sys-
tematically the Red Cross should dis
trict the city. provide chief for such
work, and do it now, and, in addition,
learn where certain necessary adjunets
to aiding wounded persons can be
quickly procured.
The meeting was largely attended
and was presided over by Judge Dole,
with Mrs. w. w. Hall as secretary. A
report from the national society was
read on the work of the Red Cross
in the recent disaster in Italy and
Sicily, showing where and how the
great amonnt of money was expended
and the good results attained
Judge Dole spoke of the apparent
necessity for making change in the
manner of turning over certain moneys
Of the local branch TO the national
society, and suggesting that in future
moneys raised here be kept on deposit
to meet any emergency that might
arise in our midst. He read the fol-
lowing resolution which he had pre-
parsu:
Whereas, The regulations for
branch societies of the American Ma
tional Red Cross provide, in Section
II, that 'one- half of the gross receipts
except as otherwise specified for each
year, be transferred to the treasurer
of the general fund, ito be credited
to the society from which received, ,
and whereas this provision is an OBJ
stacle to the work of keeping up the
interest of the people of this Territory
in the work of the Hawaiian Branch
and in it's financial support; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the Hawaiian Branch of the American
National Red Cross, that such regula-
tions should be modified so that all of
the receipts specified in the said Sec
ton II should remain with the said
Hawaiian Branch. -
DR.. Wood offered the resolution as a
motion, which was seconded by R. S.
Hosner, and eventually carried after
some discussion.
Someone asked in what way would
such a fund be useful, or to what def
mite purpose it could be put. Judge
Dole suggested that a day tuberculosis
camp was something that could be pro-
vided.

A Bill With Sweeping
Powers Presented in
House---Castro Has
Sane Views.

1t was question of giving the coun-
ties more power again yesterday in the
House, a bill being introduced for one
thing to turn over TO the Board of
Supervisors some of the most particu-
lar of all work, that of safeguarding
the public health This is a bill pre-
sented by the Public Health and Police
Committee, stripping the Territorial
Board of Health of all power and du-
ties except those relating to the care
of lepers and their children.
If this bill should become law, it will
be in operation on July / next, by
which time, of course, the various coun-
ty supervisors will have fully qualified
themselves to undertake for the public
what most of them can not do now
around their own homes. The bill
opens up a fine opportunity, also, for
one county to quarantine against an
other and for the various rural solons
to carry out their own little methods of
dealing with plague and other like mat
tiers.
Along the same line as the above was
a proposal made insthe committee of
the whole for the cutting out of license
commissioners and the turning over of
their very particular duties to the va
rious deputy sheriffs around the coun-
try, with all the political advantage
thrown in with the job. Castro made a
plueky stand against this vicious pro-
posal, but with the exception of Ka-
mahu all those who spoke on the mat
ter were opposed to him. From the
tenor of the remarks of the out of town
members, Oahu has the only license
inspector worth the salary he gets. Just
how much superior the average deputy
sheriff is in the back country districts
was not elaborated on.
Rice denounced the amendment pro-
posed by Single to the Hawaii Lii
brary Blll-an amendment knocking
out the appropriation but stating that
the Territory may appropriateness a
bait to induce the country members to
swallow the bill. He announced though
that he would support the amendment
as something much better than the sec
tion it substituted for
Kaniho resumed his talk against .Ad-
jutant General Jones and the National
Guard, his remarks creating much mer-
riment. Otherwise considerable prog
ress was made with the appropriation
bill items.
