JEALOUS MAN
FIRES SHOT
Discharged EmpIOye May
Be Guilty OF
Shooting

Chief McDufTie is working on the
shooting ~ of a japanese servants
quarters which occurred the night
before last at the Dawson dairy in
'Manoa Valley. 1t appears that a
discharged japanese servant is sus-
pected of doing the gun-wOrk. and
that Jealousy of the man who got
his job Is the cause of the shooting.
That there was any intention of
killing the Japanese who slept in the
house does not appear probable. as
only one shot was fred through the
walls of the room. and that was at
q high elevation. Several shots, how
ever, were fired In the air outside
the place, aud humber OF milk
pals that were ready for use were
upset and dirtled.
The general impression Is that the
! discharged Japanese wanted 10 scare
his successor out of the Job and took
any means to accomplish his object.
The cows were all turned out Of the
milking yard, and considerable trOu-
BILE was encountered II! getting them
! all back in time. The door of the
servants quarters was fastened with
n stick, and the occupants of the
building had hard job to get out
Of the pla after the shooting was
all over. The shots were heard by
several people, and Deputy Sheriff
Rose, who lives in the vicinity,
thought that the noise was caused
by some person long way OFF.
| McDuflle and his men were work
Ing on the case al the morning. and
they have come across good piece
Of evidence that appears to point Ia
one man as the guilty person.
At ncontlme today Chief McDuaie
arrested Yanagl. japanese who for
merly worked for the Dawson dairy
and booked him at the police station
for investigation. In the mans pos
session was found an liver Johnson
revolver, fully loaded. and box oil
cartridges. In another room an old
style Colt revolver. coated with rust
was discovered; II had not been used
for years and could not possibly be
fired In its present state.
In the opinion of the police there
Is no doubt that tho right man has
been caught. and that 1t Is fairly sure
j that he will come through with the

Philadelphia, Pa, June 2.-Presi-
dent TAFT, In his address to the grad
yates of Bryn Mawr college today on
"Woman's College Education" spoke
in part as follows:
"Your president has asked me at
this commenceme 10 say something
with respect to the higher education
of women. II Is, Of course, a theme
most relevant and germanc to the oc-
casion. but II Is one OF which I hesi-
tate to speak In the presence OF those
who have made It their life study ami

ter are of so much more real weight

The President reviewed the nd
yances made in educational advani-
ages for both sexes since 1900.
Continuing. he said:
IL dissent from the view that an
academic education units man or
woman for business. 1t may be that
the tastes that lead one to an aca-
demic education are not those which
insure business success. but that the
mental discipline. the power Of rea-
soning. the cultivation and compari.

Not All Entering Professions.
But. II is said that women are not
all going into the professions, and 50
that the education necessary as Il
basis for professional career Is moi
needed by those women who. have q
competency or who look forward tc
marriage and motherhood as the CHIEF
end OF woman.
1T is even suggested that the high
er education OF women rather units
them to discharge the duties of wife
and mother; that In some way on
other II robs them of a charm anC
gives them an intellectual independ
ence that Is Inconsistent with theii
