Russian Agent Tells the WASH
inutOn Authorities PerSecu-
ton Was Fake.
M0UJIKS ARE BLAMED ALSO
Accused of Planning to Reach
Mainland at Hawaiian Sugar
Peoples Expense.

WASHINGTON. July 20.-The much
talked-of report that III the Territory
Of Hawaii Russian peasant laborers i'm
ported by the Sugar Planters Associa-
ton were being held in pe0nage was
exploded yesterday, when VI. Kerberge
Russian agent for the Councillor of
State, filed his official report to the
federal authorities
Kerberge investigated conditions in
Hawaii after the labor unions had call
ed upon congress and President Taft to
enforce the laws against persons alleg-
ed to have been guilty of holding the
Russians in peonage
Kerberge claims the Russians were
not mistreated. The charges were not
sustained, he said. The reports sent to
the States were Matched up by profess
siOnal agitators, and were unreasonable
as well as without foundation.
He said also that the Russians in Ha-
wall did not want to return to their
own country, but planned to get money
to carry them on to California and to
Canada
The charges were first brought to
the attention of the country by reports
sent from Hawaii by agitators. Later
the matter was taken up by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. A big mass meet
| ing was held in Madison Square Gar
| den, New York. to protest against what
the people there believed to be mis-
| treatment of the Slavic peasants, and
| resolutions calling upon the Attorney
General and the Department of Com
| merce and Labor to stop the alleged
practice We're adopted. Copies of the
| resolution were forwarded to President
Taft

DOOMED To DIE
At BREAK Of DAY
Five Undesirable Foreigners viii
WriggIe Their Last Writhe
in Poisonous Gas.
ACCORDING TO THE LAW
Came Off Makura Yesterday
From Australia and Are
Speedily Sentenced.

Al daybreak today there viii be an
official execution, the long arm Of the
federal government having reached out
and ordered the death of five foreigners
The collector of customs was the of
fetal who authorized the deaths and
they VIII all take place in a chamber
into which poisonous gases will be
pumped until sufficient quantity has
been forced in to kill those confined
within.
The foreigners arrived from Austria
liza on the Makura yesterday and all
night remained in the custody of Gus
toms inspectors, being under close
guard. They were confined, first of all,
in a strong compartment, fitted with
special doors and heavy metal netting,
and this compartment was further en-.
closed in one OF the collector 5 strong
rooms
This morning the foreigners will
writhe in the death agonies, and it will
be real writhing for the foreigners are
ltptItS, snakes OF the - Diamond d
variety, natives of Australia. who left
their happy homes in the wilds to make
theatrical tour of part of the world.
Their owner is an exhibitor, who has
also monkeys and trained dogs. On
arrival yesterday he inquired about the
possibilities of giving an exhibition and
had some of his charges brought ashore,
but the reptiles fell into the hands of
the collector and were placed under
guard, for there is federal law which
forbids the importation of reptiles into
Hawaii, so far a reptileless country,
AMI any reptiles brought in against that
law, are to be killed. The owner made
arrangements at late hour yesterday
afternoon to remain over a month and
he found, however, that he could not
ship his snakes on to Canada, there be
| ing no one to care for them. The only
alternative is the death of his pets.
Several years ago some snakes were
| imported from California to be placed
on exhibition here, but they Were
promptly poisoned.
| One of the features Of the advertis
! ing of the attractions of the Islands Is
| that there are no snakes in the group
and no one has any fear of trampline
| upon one while walking through the
mountains or fields.

NAVY OUT Of
LIGHTHOUSES
Lieut. Commander Houston to Be
Replaced by a Civilian
in Charge.

Hawaii. according to an Associated
Press despatch to The Advertiser, has
been created into a special lighthouse
district, as lave Alaska and Porto Rico,

such as the department of navigation,
and each lighthouse district will be in
charge of a lighthouse head who VIII

Heretofore, a naval officer has been
inspector in charge of each district
and the subdistricts have also had
naval officer heads, reporting to the
chief of the district Lieutenant Com
mander Houston, U.S.N., has reported

attached will be civilians with engl-
neering knowledge.
Three years are granted in which
to make over the lighthouse service

Thinks on Things
By Young Steady.

All the world loves winner.
The greater the victory the more
generous is mankind with its words
Of approval and expressions of adj
miration. But for every winner,
in every issue Of life, there is al
ways loser-who is often more
worthy of our admiration and more
needful IF our encouragement and
sympathy than he who drinks deep
from the cup of victory and sue
cess. Victory does not always, at
all times. favor the most deserving.
Too often the cause Of the just,
both in the petty trials of every
day life and in the great battles
that involve the life, happiness
and welfare Of all concerned, is
lost to one less worthy and deserv-
ing Even then the efforts of the
vanquished, no matter how noble
they may be, too often receive but
little of the credit due one who
fails in worthy cause.
The man who wins against heavy
odds is worthy of admiration. This
truth has been recognized and &C
cepted since the solution of prim.
tive mans first disputes disclosed
the winner and loser. In ancient
times, when might was the ruling
power, the world paid homage to
the winner regardless of the right
of his cause. In this respect the
world has changed but little. The
man who fails today may receive
the sympathy of many, but the adj
miration of few.
And still, there is none more
needful of encouragement than he
whose battle Of life is yet IN
fought-whose cause still remains
to be won. A loser today may be
a winner tomorrow, if the proper
support is given. There is no en-
couragement like due credit for
worthy efforts-however humble
they may be. The failure Of many
in this life is due, not to the lack
of faith in the right of their cause,
as they see it; not through lack Of
am bition to win, or need of efforts
on their part, but the lack Of that
support and encouragement which
the world reserves for the winner.
| Where failure is due to lack of
energy, encouragement is needed
to create ambition and stimulate
effort. Where failure is due to a
wrongful position, or the pursu-
ance of unworthy policies, encour-
agement is most needed to add
moral strength and stimulate de-
sire for further effort. To lend en-
couragement in such cases is not
to encourage wrong, but to create
desire for right. The man who
wins is encouraged in his efforts
| by the applause of an admiring
throng, won perhaps by single
effort or all ill-deserved turn of
good fortune. Success in his flu
ture efforts is practically assured,
as being part Of the winners po-
ton. Many member Of the down.
and-out club owes his condition
largely to the fact that his first
worthy efforts failed, and IN failing
robbed him of the ambition to per-
sist further in the struggle of life.
To such man there lacks bnt
recognition of past efforts to stimu-
late him to future achievements
and eventually make him a win
ner.
Therefore, when flushed with adj
miratjon for the man who wins,
don't forget the man who has fail
ed; however low his failure has
placed him in the estimation of
mankind, he is still worthy of your
assistance. He needs your SYM
patty and encouragement and if
his fight was a good one should
