JAPAN IS NOT
EXPECTING WAR
American Suspicious of Coming
Trouble Are Not
Justified.

The talk of possible war with Japan
is without any reasonable foundation,
in the opinion of Melville E. Stone,
general manager of the Associated
Press, who was through passenger on
the Manchuria, leaving last night. Mr..
Stone has been on tour Of the world,
and is now en- route home. He has
been in Japan for some time, and has
of course had special opportunities to
meet the leading members Of the Japa-
nese cabinet, and he is strongly of the
opinion that there is no reason for
American suspicious that there Is
danger of war with japan.
Mr.. Stone, as the head of the As.
sociated Press, has naturally been in q
position to talk confidentially with the
rulers in all the countries he has visited
on his tour of the world. Especially in
Japan, the American Associated Press
is in close touch with the government,
and it is an important fact that Mr..
Stone, after his visit to Nippon, is
emphatically of the opinion that the
war talk is not justified.
Japan is most friendly to the United
States, says Mr.. Stone, and there is
practically no war sentiment. At the
same time, Japan does not expect that
the United States viii pass immigration
laws which will be humiliating to her.
There is probably no man in the
world better able TO get at the real
facts than Melville Stone, and the fact
that after conferences with the lead
ing Japanese statesmen and after an
extended tour of the far East, he re-
CARDS war as practically out Of the
| question indicates that the yellow
American war agitators have mistaken
Japan s attitude.
Japan wants peace, saws Mr.. Stone.
She has had two wars, both very ex.
pensive. and is not in condition for
another. There is no chance of her
getting into conflict with the United
States unless she is forced into it.
After the conclusion of the war with
Russia, it was necessary for Japan to
increase naval and military strength to
hold the ground she had won, but her
activity in war preparations has been
only to maintain her position.

Declares Administration Policy
Squares With All the
Pledges Made.
TREMENDOUS ECONOMIES
Government Saving $o4,00o.0o0
by Holding Down the
Appropriations. !.

: CHICAGO, April 1o.--Attorney- Gen.
eral Wickersham, one of the principal
speakers at yesterdays celebration OF
the forty-ffth anniversary of the day
when Lee surrendered to Grant at Ap-
pomattox, devoted his speaking time to
vigorous defense of the Taft Admin
istration, his speech being one Of the
strongest yet made by any member Of
the Taft Cabinet since the general at
tack upon the President and his adyis,
ers. The speaker made reference to the
cabled announcement that the former
President was in constant receipt of
letters from America complaining Of
the Taft policies, and on these launched
his defense of the present occupant
Of the White House.
The encouragement did not minse
his words, vigorously flaying the de-
tractors Of the administration and pay
ing especial attention in his remarks
to the insurgent Republicans, whom he
designated as among the principal enc
mics of President Taft.
During the first year of the Taft adj
ministration of affairs, just closed, the
administration has fulfilled its preelec-
ton pledges, declared the speaker, who
stated that the expenditures had been
decreased and the revenues Increased,
the policy of economy urged by the
President having been so effective that
in the next fiscal year, which ends on
June 80, 1911, the country will see q
saving in governmental expenses
amounting to ninety-four millions of
dollars over the expenses of the fiscal
year of 1910. The appropriations for
the coming year, he announced, would
be less than the total appropriations
for the present year by fifty-fve million
dollars.
Taft Defends Himself.
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-Presideut
Taft, Congressman Payne and Congress-
man Longworth spoke at the meeting
of the League of Republican Clubs here
last night, the President being warmly
received.
The speakers dealt with the various
phases of the present tariff schedules,
defending them and the policy of the
administration in supporting the tariff
bill and the trainers.

High Feeling Last Night at Re-
ligious Meeting on Hotel
Street.
POLICE OUT IN BIG FORCE
Anti Catholic Agitation Leads to
Street Scenes That Call for
Many Police.
CFrom Sundays Advertiser.)

The "Holly Roller meeting at
Hotel and Bethel streets last night end
ed in an assault upon one of the prin.
cipal religious spoilers, by an indig-
nant Catholic, and but for the presence
of very large force of police there
would probably have been a serious dis.
turbance As it was, the man who
assaulted the street preacher was
seized by half dozen officers, and the
meeting adjourned. The police, under
orders of Sheriff jarrett, dispersed the
crowd.
A large force of police officers was
at hand through all the evening meet
ing. The Holy Rollers attacks upon
Catholics, together with reports that
they were responsible for the distribu-
tion Of scurrilous A. P. A. card,
threatened to bring about riot condi-
tions, and Sheriff Jarrett ordered all
his spare men to attend the meeting.
The temper of the crowd surrounding
the Holy Rollers indicated that the
sheriff was wise in being thus prepared.
A big crowd gathered to listen to the
speechifying, and police officers were
very thickly distributed in the gather.
ing.
The usual speeches were made, with
an interruption now and then, in which
strong feeling was shown. Early in the
evening, when speaker named Will
liams, leader Of the Holy Rollers, began
some remarks which seemed to lead to
an attack on the Catholic church, by
stander stepped forward and in very
pointed language told him to keep his
tongue off that kind of discussion. He
threatened to do some roughhouse work
if there was any A. P. A. business
and the Holy Roller took the tip.
During the addresses by the religious
enthusiasts there were numerous cat.
calls, and it was evident that the at
tendance of police was necessary.
The climax came when Williams ad-
anced to make final speech. AS he
stood near the curbstone, one of the
crowd stepped forth and began to bait
him. The man who made the disturb
ance was apparently drunk or much
excited. He stepped in front Of Viii
liams and shouted ''What about those
postal cards7" evidently referring to
the A. P. A. cards which have been
distributed about town. Then, in the
presence of all the crowd he attempted
to strike Williams in the face. He
missed and hit Williams in the neck.
Only the presence of large force of
police prevented serious riot. AS it
was. Williams assailant was seized by
half dozen officers. But he was not
placed under arrest. He was allowed
to go with his friends, though plainly
guilty of an assault.
Sheriff Jarrett ordered the officers
to disperse the crowd, and this ended
the Holy Rollers meeting.

SHERIFF PUA IN
CRAFT TANGLEs
Big Island Police Troubles Are
Keeping Supervisors Busy
in Investigations.

As soon as the rumbles of graft from
the Kau side Of the Big Island ceased
to reach Hilo, other rumbles from other
points began, having reached now to
positive earthquake signs. The origi-
nal graft charges implicated only some
of the minor police officers of Kau;
the latest point the finger of suspicion
to those higher up in the service.
Last weeks development came
through letter received by Sheriff Pua,
from Deputy Sheriff Overend, in which
the latter accuses Tailor Daniel Dart,
of the Honokaa Jail, with being short
in his accounts, going on to state that
Dart has made a confession of the
shortage.
The matter, reports the Hawaii Her.
aid, was Immediately referred to the
county attorney by Sheriff Pua, asking
for instructions. County Attorney Beers
replied at once authorizing the sheriff
to make complete investigation and
to report as soon as possible.
The charge against Dart is that he
has collected fines and costs from
prisoners who were placed in his charge
and has only RENTED part of them
to his superiors, Two instances of this
are given and, as mentioned above, the
statement is made that Dart has ac.
knowledged his part of the pilikia,
which, under the territorial law, seems
to constitute the crime of embezzle.
ment.
Disregard Sheriff's Reports.
Police matters seem to be the most
important thing before the board of
supervisors at last weeks meeting in
Hilo. Sheriff Pua presented two re.
ports both of which were read and
neither appeared to satisfy the mem.
bers of the board. In both cases the
matters were held over to be threshed
out and decided by the board before
any action is taken and the reports OF
the sheriff have been practically disre.
garded.
In regard to the charge that Deputy
Sheriff Overend was short in his nc.
counts, filed by Sheriff Pua, Overend
has been summoned to appear with the
other witnesses in the case, before the
board.
The other matter was in regard TO
the sheriff's report on automobile Ii.
censes at Kohala. in which he made q
recommendation that Chauffeur Exam,
liner ,McWayne IS report be disregarded
One after the other members of the
board stated that they had heard that
Messrs Maydwell and Hind had been
running machines for some time past
without licenses and without chauf,
feurs' licenses, that McWayne had
| made reports and that nothing had been
done by the police. 1t was stated that
the trouble seemed to arise from per.
sonal feeling between McWayne and
the deputy sheriff.
Fernandez took occasion to repri
mand Pua for giving his report to the
press before submitting IL to the board
and called attention to the fact that II
was very funny that Mr.. Hind Is name
was not mentioned at all in the report
He moved that the matter be placed in
the hands of the police committee fol-
investigation and that the sheriff be
called before them for an explanation
