CHINESE PETITION
ON To WASHINGTON
Liberty Party to Forward Pa
pers to Chinese Minister
Society War.

Realizing that any petition that is
forwarded from the Honolulu Chinese,
direct to the home government, would
have to be presented by some man
DARN, who would at once be identified
with the revolutionary party in Ha-
waii, and be treated as such in China,
the Liberty Party of this city decided
to forward their petition, that the con-
sui be removed, through the Chinese
minister at Washington.
This course is considered by the local
Chinese to be the best, and the peti-
ton that was circulated and signed on
Thursday night at Aala Park, viii go
forward to Washington by the first
mail.
There are many Chinese in this city
who state that the petition viii carry
no weight when it reaches the Chinese
home officials. They also state that
many prominent Chinese in Honolulu
are advising the consul as to the course
to follow in regard to the present crisis.
The Chinese paper, Liberty News,
which was issued yesterday, comment
ed on the mass meeting held at Aala
Park, and said that people fought with
one another to get at the petition and
sign 1t. The paper went on to state
that the consul is an enemy to the Chi
nese of Hawaii, and also repeated the
remarks of Hee Fat. which were pub
lished yesterday.
The SIN Chung Kwock Bo, which is
published today, will give the other
side of the affair. From advance re-
ports, it is ascertained that Hee Fat is
not considered to be a revolutlonlst IN
the strict sense of the word. 1t is al
legged that some time ago, when the
paper now known as the Liberty News,
was in trouble with a japanese paper,
Hee Fat came to the rescue with money
enough to tide the sheet over the news
paper war.
it is also stated in Chinese circles
that. if any responsible Chinese will as
sure the consul that the seven men SAID
to have been reported to CHINA are not
revolutionists. the matter WILL De
7ropped. Outside of the Liberty News
and the Sun Chung Kwock Bo, the 9th
err Chinese newspapers are not mixing
up in the squabble.
In the opinion of many Chinese there
is nothing else to the whole trouble ex-
cept a form of society row, such as Is at
all times cropping up. The younger
generation of Chinese is not mixing up
much in the affair, and they say that
China has changed a lot since the days
when their fathers were boys.
The Liberty News claims that Doctor
Ii and the editor of the San Chung
Kwock Bo, are advising the consul, as
well as many prominent merchants.

The japanese tea houses of Honolulu
are on the grill and the grand jury, ac-
cording to unofficial reports, is now de
termining just how much of real Japan
may exist in Honolulu. The reported
investigation began several days ago
when a number Of witnesses were
called, including the best known Japa
nese business men Of the city as well
as most of the geisha girls.
H. Miyam0tO, better known as
:. Charlie'' and II. Hirano, proprietors
of the two best known joints of the
kind in the city, were arrested yester
day by Liquor Inspector Fennell on
warrants sworn to by himself charging
them with selling liquor without a Ii
cense.
As Fennell himself was a witness be-
fore the inquisitors it is possible that
the grand jury is looking into these
two cases. but it is hardly probable as
thev are now pending in the district
court That these two houses form part
of the investigated subjects, however,
Is not doubted. The Azuma resort on
School street is another place evident
ly on the grill, as several Of the geisha
girls who frequent the place have al
ready testified before the jury.
Among the other witnesses were K.
Ona. Edward Townsend, police court in
terprter; Tanabe, manager of rice
mill; Sumida, George Yamada and
many others. including several we'll
known japanese doctors. These men

DEPRECATEs CHANCE
Of BEING ANY WAR

WASHINGTON, December 16 -
George Won L, Meyer, secretary of the
navy, declared today, in a statement
before the naval affairs committee, that
he does not expect the United States
to be involved in war during his life
time. This statement is in answer to
the alarmist agltators who foresee CON
tiict within a short time. However, the
navy secretary is strong believer in
carrying out the development of the
navy he has outlined in his annual re
port.
Congressman James McLachlan of
California further stirred up the alarm
isl contingent in congress by issuing
a statement today denouncing the sup
preston of the report of Secretary
Dickinson of the war department, which
is believed TO contain startling facts
concerning the 'unpreparedness' of
the United States in ease of war.
McLachan contends that the report
should be given publicity, and that the
people should be given to understand
the status of aairs.

FAVORS ELECTION OF
SENATORS BY PEOPLE

WASHINGTON, December 16.-The
senate committee on judiciary, of which
c. d. Clark of Wyoming is chairman,
today made report in favor of an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for the election of senators by a
direct vote of the people, instead of by
state legislatures.
This amendment, which has been de-
manded by many States, and is being
g gitated all over the country, is ex-
peeted to meet considerable opposition
in the senate. but the favorable report
made today indicates that il will soon
be submitted to the States for ratifica-
ton.

MEXICAN TROOPS
ARE DEFEATED IN
FIERCE CONFLICT

Ell PASO. December IL Advices
from chihuahua bring the unexpected
news that the regular Mexican troops
and rurales have been defeated in a
fiercely fought battle near La Junta in
that State.
While the details are meager, it is
asserted that the fighting continued for
hours. but the revolutionists finally
forced the government troops into such
a position that $50 of them were forced
to surrender.
This is the first time that such
defeat has met the partisans of Presi-
dent Diaz, and the revolutionists here
are elated and assert that this victory
will mean great deal for their cause.

FIFTY PER CENT
DID NOT DRAW
Maui Land Applied for as Home
steads Still in the Public
Domain.

The public lands of Hawaii. using
the late land drawings on Maui as a
criterion, are worth something to Just
fifty per cent of those who clamor for
them. The tabulated results of the
drawings for the homesteading lands at
Kahakuloa, Wailua and Kaupo on the
Valley Isle, have just been completed
and show this result.
Out of eighty-one applicants for
homesteads, all of whom we're drawn
for preference in the usual manner, just
forty availed themselves of the oppor-
tunities offered and the trouble made
necessary by their application and took
up land. Of the fortyon who didn t,
just three had reasonable excuses.
Out of the first fourteen names
drawn one only did not take up land
but thereafter the percentage of those
refusing to select became gradually
greater as if they wanted first choice,
but nothing else It has been predicted
that by the time those who do not fill
the demonstrating requirements are
eliminated the percentage of those who
finally make use of the public lands
so offered will be very much smaller.
Hawaiians in Majority.
The majority of those taking up the
lands are Hawaiians. Out of the vari
Gus methods of securing the land, only
two took out certificates OF occupatio
while the rest divided equally between
right of purchase leases and cash free
holds
81 am very glad that the land board
has taken up the matter of phoney
demonstrating, said Commissioner
Campbell, of public lands, yesterday.
"While it does not rest strictly with
them their interest in the matter is
very gratifying, the more so as the
subject is worthy of deepest attention. =
Indifference Indicated
The Indifference of many of those
applying for homesteads is more than
evident in the Maui results. While the
majority of those who did not take
advantage of their right of selection
merely stayed away from the drawings,
others were interested sufficiently to
come around and say that they didn t
want the lands at all.
Several flatfootedly stated that they
did not wish to draw while several
Othefs came forward with the REMARK
able statement that they had little
land at Wailua and did not want any
more, which hardly explains their anx-
ietv to get in the drawing.
Two are accredited with the more
emphatic statement that they didn It
want any lot at all, their attitude in
the matter bordering on a malicious
desire to butt in The three who had
reasonable excuses had all entered their
names in couples, husband and wife,
and the one who drew the number near
est the top exercised the privilege of
selection, while the other had his or
her name. as the case might be, stricken
out.

MAYORS VETO
IS ANNOUNCED
Funny Arguments Used to Knock
Exposed for Sale Foods
Ordinance.
MEETING CALLED FOR TODAY
D0uthitt, Atkinson and Andrews
Combine Legal Forces to
Defeat Bill.

Mayor Fern will present his veto of
the exposed for sale foods ordinance at
special meeting to be held at ten
o clock this morning.
The mayor sent this announcement in
written form to the supervisors at their
meeting yesterday noon. The veto was
not unexpected, however, as several
lawyers, who have been hired by the
Chinese and japanese market men to
Kill the measure in any way possible,
have had the ear Of the mayor on sew
eral occasions and have caused him to
withhold his signature from the bill.
The veto is not his, however. IT is
Clerk Rivenburgh s veto Mayor Fern
has had nothing to do with the writing
of the veto except to sign it.
Attorneys Douthitt, Atkinson and
Andrews appeared before the board
yesterday and knocked the proposed
ordinance in every way possible. Some
of their arguments were of the puerile
kind that had full sway all through the
campaign. 1t was bombast, and few
sane reasons were advanced why the
ordinance. which is designed to protect
the buying public from pure hasing con-
talnlnated 1000, should not become law.
Puerile Arguments.
1t was argued that the law making it
necessary to put mosquito nets or wire
screens over fish, meats and other ex
posed foodstuffs would make the price
of food go up; that the interior of the
screens would become impure; that the
screens would really prevent the free
air from circulating freely over the
meats, and that would be bad for the
public; that little japanese statesmen
could not sell over the screens, as the
screens would, be too high and the sell
ers too small; that people might get
ptoinaine poisoning if the meats and
fish came in contact with the wire
screens, and that people should also be
made to put screens over their mango
trees and vegetables to prevent them

WASHINGTON, December 1.-THE
members of the house experienced yes
terday a series of exciting incidents
connected with the war scare, induced
by the suppression of the annual report
of Secretary of War Dickinson. which
are the sole topics of discussion.
Representative James A. Tawnev of
Minnesota created something of a SEN
sation by declaring that a conspiracy
existed to stampede congress into max
ing extra large military appropriations,
and that the resolution introduced by
Congressman James McLachlan Of Cali
fornia for making public the secretary
Of wars report was not introduced in
good faith, and further that it was
weakness.
Denounces Tawney.
Congressman McLachlan replied to
the Minnesota congressman in heated
terms, strongly denouncing Tawney's
attitude and asserting that he was
largely responsible for the present I'M
preparedness of the country in case of
war.
Continuing, McLachlan contended
that it was the wickedest national cow
ardice to keep the people in state
of ignorance as to the conditions in
the war department, and then, in case
Of h0stilities, send the men to battle
unframed, unequipped and only to be
murdered.
Excites Controversy.
The controversy excited the greatest
attention by the house. and last night
in the Hobbies of the hotels it was the
subject of heated discussion, each con-
gresham having his warm supporters.
The next move in the proceedings is
looked forward to with the most in
tense interest and it is the general
belief that the report of Secretary
Dickinson will be submitted to the
house at an open session, although, pos
sibly. with notifications.

are beginning to feel like they are

they must continue to remain so

passion for them.
