WARN TIL

OlOZINESS and comfort, so desirable at this
time of the year. may be accomplished
A only by means of adequate heating facili-
ties. If you use stoves, you must get good one
to secure comfort and still maintain cleanliness
besides; the poor stove may be little cheaper
but you have to pay for it many times over in the
additional fuel that it consumes without giving
back heat in exchange Before we buy stoves we
first must be satisfied as to their low fuel con-
SUMPTION so you are sure on this point as well
when you buy stove from US, for our guarantee
of satisfaction outlasts every stove we sell.
The wonderful Howard overdraft heater gives
you twice the heat with half the fuel by burning
the smoke and consuming the gases. 1t warns
the floor. 1t is built on modern scientific princ-
ples which are exclusive features.

THREE CHILDREN
KILLED BY TRAIN
LInger on High TrestIe and Are
Knocked Into Deep Stream
Below.

Three small japanese children yester-
day morning were run down by an Oahu
railway train on a high trestle crossing
a deep gulch near the Wahiawa dam.
They were walking across the trestle,
and it is evident they did not know the
danger they were in. The engineer saw
them too late to stop his train.
The children fell far down into the
water held back by the dam. Either
the blow by the engine or the fall from
the trestle would have killed them. The
bodies We're recovered yesterday after
noon.
The children evidently had strayed
from the public road, three hundred
yards away. Their parents live in the
pineapple district and are employed as
Iaborers.
Sheriff Jarrett was notified yesterday
afternoon, and he ordered Deputy Sher-
IF Cox, the officer living nearest the
srene of the accident, to make an III
vestigation and report at his earliest
convenience.

CHINESE ACTOR
WANTS TO LAND
But Will the Majesty of the Law
of the Land Permit
Him !?

Has 4 Chinese actor. bound from one
foreign port to another foreign port,
through Hawaii, q right to land in Ho-
noluIu temporarily or permanently
This Is the question that was raised
before the United States district court
yesterday through a writ of habeas
corpus sued out by George A. Davis
on behalf of Fung Woo, a passenger
on the Japanese steamship Kiyo Maru.
This is the first time the question has
ever been raised in Hawaii. In fact,
it has never come up but once before
in the United States, the exception be-
ING an exactly analogous case that arose
in Oregon in 1850. In that case the
man was allowed to land.
Fung Woo, a passenger on the Kiyo
Maru, is bound from Lima, Peru, for
Hongkong. Fung Woo IS an actor, and
as such comes under the list Of excep-
tions from the provisions of the Chi
nese exclusion act.
After the steamer reached Honolulu
the management of the Chinese theater
went out and engaged him to play in
this city for a term. But the captain

PRECINCT CLUBS
NAME OFFICERS
Unanimous in Most Districts, but
Rivals Appear to Clash in
a Few Places.
SOME BOOMS ARE STARTED
Much More Than Usual Interest
Is Shown and Attendance
Is Large Generally.

Big interest was shown last night in
the nomination of officers for the va
rious precinct clubs throughout the city
in Republican circles, at many of the
meetings a hundred and more members
turning up. As a rule there was little
opposition to the first states nominated,
but in some precincts there viii be
scrapping for the coveted positions.
The "boss rule that the BulIetn
feared has placed Chang Chau in nom
ination to contest the secretaryship of
one precinct against Willie Crawford
the Bulletin s friend. In another there
are two full tickets, one "Lane
ticket' the other the regular organ
izaton ticket. Which is boss and which
is not is noc specified.

New York Mass Meeting Wants
Hawaiian Plantations
investigated.
BIG SENSATION IN THE EAST
Gompers and Socialists Claim
Russians Are Oppressed by
Employers.

NEW YORK, July "a big mass
meeting Of laboring people was held in
Madison Square Garden tonight to utter
a protest against alleged unfair treat
ment of Hawaiian plantation la5orers
by the heads of the companies owning
and controlling the sugar industry in
the Territory.
Resolutions calling for immediate
action on the part of the department of
commerce and labor were passed. 1t
was charged that the laborers, espe.
cially the Russian element, were op-
pressed by their employers.
The matter was first taken up by the
Socialists of the Territory of Hawaii,
and later by Samuel Gompers, president
of the Federation of Labor. 1t was
through the efforts of the labor organ
ization and the Socialists that the meet
ing was called and the resolutions were
passed.
\ copy of the resolutions will be sent
to President Taft with a view to obtain
ing his assistance in the matter of help
/ ing the laborers get fair treatment.

ANTlSAlOON MAN
KILLED LIKE DOG
BY LAWLESS MOB

NEWARK. Ohio, July 9.-Carl Eth
erington. aged twenty-five, an anti
saloon league detective, who fatally
shot a saloonkeeper during a recent
raid on the alleged lawless dives in
this city, was dragged from his cell in
the county jail last night and hanged
by crowd of lynchers, who overeame
the sheriff and mis- deputies who were
guarding the prison building.
Etherington cried piteously, begged
for a chance to obtain fair trial, and
even tried to commit suicide by setting
fire to his bed clothing when the mob
was ASSEMBLING the Jail.

CL0AKMAKERS GO OUT
ON STRIKE IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, July 9.-The cloak
makers of this city, numbering 1851,
went out on strike yesterday because
they were not receiving wages they
deemed sufficient for the work they
have been doing.
The eloakmakers are about as numer-
Gus as the shirtwast makers who struck
wear ago and, after long period of
industrial strife, forced their employers
to pay higher wages. and they depend
upon the public for sympathy and ma
terial assistance as in the case of the
sbrtwaist makers.
The suffragist leaders have been help
ing the women workers i'll New York

CHICAGO, July 8 Richard Me-

pugilist. After being taken into Gus

in wager on the result of the Jeffries-

he will turn it over to the Republican
party in congress and it will then be
up to the congrt ssional representatives,
OK that party to make another revis-

Although Mr.. Taft rightly believes
that the present tariff law is the best
enc that has ever been placed on the
federal statute books. he is far from
being SO ignorant as to claim it is per-
feet, that its revisions downward in
many instances are low enough. or that
there are some tariff schedules not
touched during the special session OF
congress, which should be changed ma
terially. This is especially true of the
tariff On wool and woolens.
The integrity of Mr.. Taft and his
honesty. of purpose are of the unques-
toned sort and as soon as he gets the
necessary information on which a fur
ther and more proper revision of the
tariff can be made with fairness to ev-
eryone concerned. it is absolutely GER
tain that he will ask congress to make
such a revision.

This, from the pen of Bert Walker,
of the Osborne Farmer, is quite as ap-
plicabIe to certain newspaper proprie-
tors as it is to men in other lines of
business: My friend, one of the things
you want to learn as soon as possible
Is to know when you are playing a
losing game. You are playing one
now. For years you have been fight
ing certain fellow. You have lost
no opportunity to knock on him and
his business. You have stood around
on corners night after night with a
harpoon in your hand, watching an
opportunity to throw it into him. You
have neglected your own business to
go out and spend hours in knocking
on him. But he succeeded all along
the line, while the whole community
has set you down in the failure COL
umn. You have never gained an
inch in your fight on the man. He
has gone along quietly, attending to
his own business. He has watched
it carefully and it has blossomed as
the rose. His credit is good at the
bank. at the stores. and with all who
know him. Yours is not. Your fight
has never hurt him one cents worth.
but it has practically ruined you. Had
you spent the time building up your
own business that you have wasted
in trying to tear him down, you would
now be on easy street. 1t is all right
to fight but you want to be careful
you don't undermine yourself in the
effort. This is the stage of the game
where you can't gain an inch when
you try to tear down your competitor
by unholy methods
