Showed No Desire to Face Police
but Took Their Troubles
to the Governor.
EXHIBITED BATTLE SCARS
Told by Mott-Smith That Death
Is Invited by Such Acts as
That of Friday.
(From Sunday Advertiser

Trom Sundays Advertiser.)
The police watched all day yesterday
for some repetition of the rioting on
the part of the Russians that brought
down upon them the Clubs of the police
on Friday evening. The Russians were
very quiet, however, the majority of
them giving the police station as wide
berth as possible.
Today is May Day, the day for labor
demonstrations and riots throughout
Europe. On that account the police will
be especially vigilant and full force
will be kept in readiness to check any
demonstration on the part of the Iwi-
lei tourists. 1t was in order that he
might be their leader today, for the
May Day and Easter celebrations that
the Russians wanted vasilieff 30 badly
on Friday.
In all probability a number Of war
rants made out for John Doe, will be
issued tomorrow and number of the
most prominent ones in the riot OF
Friday will he arrested, charged with
disorderly conduct and with melting Q
riot. There may he trouble when 1t
comes to making the arrests.
Complained to Governor.
Still skulking behind the skirts of
their women and trying to interpose
between themselves and the law the
helpless forms of their children, the
Russian loafers who were given last
ba ~
they can understand, have appealed to
Governor Frear and Secretary Mott
Smith to save them from further pun
ishment and have complained to the
territorial authorities of what the po
lice did to them with the heavy ends
of their nightsticks.
Yesterday morning delegation OF
six particularly dirty specimens from
the Iwilei camp waited on the Cover
nor and Secretary Mott Smith and un
folded a tale calculated to curdle the
blood of the hardest government Off
cial. Without blush they complained
that the night before the police had
mercilessly dubbed helpless women am
innocent children who were merely ap
pealing for the right to send delega
ton of three or four men to inquire
into the safety of agitator Vasilief
and his three companions.
One of the sextet had his heat
bound up in dirty rag. Nobody mad'
an examination to ascertain whethe
the rag covered a bump raised by ;
policemen's club or whether it wa
worn to excite sympathy in the tende
official breast.
Proficient Liars.
rT,t hafnra
ernor Frear, Secretary Mott-Smith, At
torney General Lindsay and Russian
representative Paul de Kerberg ant
lied themselves black in the face with
out turning hair. They had no apollo
gies to offer for their lawless conduct
they refused to answer the pertinen
questions put to them by Secretar,
Mott.Smith; they would not promis
TO behave themselves better in the flu
ture; they didn't want to go to work
All they wanted to know was why tn
entire Russian outfit was not arreste'
instead of merely Vasilieff and hi
thee companions, and whether or no
it is American law to allow policemen
10 club helpless women and children.
Governor Frear and Secretary Mott
Smith tolerated their attitude and pu
mp with their evasive answers TIL
effect of the policemen's clubs was ap
Darently forgotten by the Russians il
The joyful knowledge that they coul,
continue the talkfest with the terri
torial officials that has lasted for s.
many weeks and that all they had t.
face in dealing with the Governor AM
his cabinet was mild words instead o
wet water and blows.
Demanded Interpreter.
The Russians came mp while tn
Governor ard Secretary Mott-Smit
were out, and they demanded of Henr.
Sullivan that he send immediatel.
for Martin Grune TO interpret for them
o'Sulliyan told them to go abou
their business and get their own inter
prefer IL they wanted one. However
later when the Governor got back, MI
Grune was requested TO come TO th
Capitol and interpret and be consented
The hearing was conducted by See
Rotary Aoit'smith, Governor Frear an
Aitorney-denefal Lindsay sitting b.
aud occasionally making a remark.
