China May Get Into Trouble by Ig-

pan-China Takes Bold Steps in
Manchuria AFFAIR. fi

WASHINGTON, January 81. : The
Taft administration was able to an
nounce this evening through the State
Department a complete and startling
answer to the rejection by Russia and
Japan of the Knox plan for the pre-
servation Of the open door In China.
which was made today. The United
States charge d'affaires at Pekin, Mr.
Fletcher, advised Secretary Knox that
China has issued an imperial rescript
permitting the construction and guar
.antee of bonds of the American, Bril-
fish Railroad In Manchuria, from
Chien-Foo to Aigun.
Almost simultaneously with this I'm
portant news, SECRETARY Knox received
intelligence that Japan and Russia had
oficlally rejected his plan for the neu-
tralization Of railways in Manchuria.
China Flouts japan.
The international Importance OF the
action by China consists of the fact
that China has disregarded her treaty
with Japan OF September "a, 1909. by
which Japan was to be consulted when.
ever China proposed to make railway
concession or a mining concession in
Manchuria.
1t is manifest to all the world now,

COMPARATIVE TABLE SHOWING DISTRIBUTION %

The brush in question MAS been
marked Exhibit A" and is now In
the safe deposit vault of the First
National Bank. From outward In
dications. II had apparently been
used quite recently, as the under
crust was still moist and OF deep
brick-red color. ~
The place where this brush was
found was well adapted for meet
ings Of conspirators, as the foliage
was particularly dense and there was
no trail in the Immediate neighbor-
hood. The grass had been .tramped
down, showing that there must have
been at least five or six in the party.
There were several cigar butts and
half consumed matches scattered
about the place, and from the bands
II was seen that the cigars were OF
no common brand. An empty flask,
which still retained faint odor Of
whiskey, was concealed behind the
stump of a charred eucalyptus tree.
The label had been carefully torn
of and evidently burnt, as there
were signs of small fire.
A sample Of the paint from the
brush has been submitted to an ALA
lyst in order that he may be able
to find out the exact composition of
the paint, 30 that dealers may be APP
preached and their samples COM
tpared. In this way Chief McDuffie

Under he contract the mill has to
be ready for shipment by December
of this year. and It Is certain to be
on the way at that time.
The award OF this contract is a
great compliment to the local iron
works. as the request for tenders
came unsolicited, and Honolulu takes
the work out OF the greatest center OF
sugar mill manufactures in the world.
One of the New York gentlemen In
terested made the statement that he
wanted to give the work to the Homo
lulu Iron Works because It always had
its mill finished on time, and the mills
made by this concern have always run
the, first year without a hitch-.that is
more. than could be said Of the others.
Mr.. Poole, for many years manager
Of Spreckelsville, will be the manager
Of the Mindoro proposition and Is now
on the ground. Mr.. Dyer Of the Iron
Works is now on his way to the site OF
the plantation to settle on matter OF
water supply, mill site. transportation
and SO forth.
The local Iron Works considers that
1t Is doing well to bring business to
the city in connection with new sugar
mills in territory that will not come
Into direct competition with the local
sugars. It has never taken or gone
after contracts for the construction
of sugar mills In Cuba.

circles as Intelligent as those we

most distinguished assemblies hand
ling the question was that called by
the Economic Club Of Boston some
months ago. In the views offered at
that session, prohibition found few
supporters. The topic was ''The
Liquor Problem"
Augustus Raymond Hatton. pro.
fessor OF political science in Western
Reserve University, spoke largely in
favor of district option.
Norman Hapgood, editor of Col
lier's Magazine. expressed himself In
favor OF the Scandinavian system
and believed the open-mindedness OF
the people would solve the problem.
Hugh E. Fox, secretary OF the U.
s. Brewers Association. asked for
the cooperation Of the temperance
workers with the brewers in solv-
ing and regulating the evils Of the
liquor traffic. He welcomed the no
license wave as causing honest in

not believe saloons should be allowed
in residential districts.

SELF.GOVERNMENIT THE ISSUE ,JJII:,.'

Honolulu business men OF calm
judgment have no need to hesitate
in connection with the action to be
taken on the issue presented by the
proposed prohibition legislation now
before Congress.
Those who believe that the people
Of this Territory should govern them
selves under the Organic Act passed
by Congress, at the time OF annexa-
ton, should vote first, last, and all
ways against the assumption by the
Federal government of any further
authority than Is now exercised;
they should stand by home rule.
Those who believe that they and
all other citizens should be govern.
ed by outside authority, that they
should be handled as dependents md
incompetents. that this Terr, tory
should move backward fifty years In
its government-those who believe
in the degradation OF Hawaii--will
vote'in support Of the movement for
the Federal government to assume
additional authority in handling the
liquor traffic.
The issue is fairly presented. and
the response should be direct. There
can be no evasion.
Some may consider It unfortunate
that the liquor question should be
the medium by which the issue is
raised. They may have one opinion
on the liquor problem and another
On too much interference of the Fed
eral government with our measure
of home rule. 1t is just such men
whose hesitating and faltering opin-
ions may turn the tide in favor OF
commission government and .destruc-
tion of Hawaii's independence.
But situations don't create them
stake and now is the time for citi
zens to express their honest, positive
opinions on the government of the
Islands. This is the great issue i'm
derlying the whole agitation. Pro
hibition or no prohibition is merel,
the froth that attracts attention
what In a general way shows tn,
direction of the controlling currents
below. -
Citizens of Hawaii should refus'
to be fooled by the radical supporter
of prohibition who uses the presen
opportunity tn declare that any In

It was ticklish work for the po-
lice ofiicer. as there was only one

knee. The captain Of police got his
own gun out ready for action, and
just as he was going to jump in and
take chance on being shot, the
sailors attention was distracted and
he turned away from the door. The
captain was on top of the man be-
fore he knew what vase doing, ana
then the rest was easy. The patrol
wagon was called for. and the two
sailors taken to the police station.
The revolver used in the shooting
affair was found in Hussey's possess

signs Of having been used, although
the chambers were full OF new shells.

as a witness in the case, and he has
