MUST NOT ENLIST
FILIPINO BOYS

A Manila paper gives the following
account of some of the troubles of
Mr. Steven, in his effort to enlist
laborors ror the Hawaiian cane
fields, rather defending the position
of the local man, however, as will be
noted;
In what ptuports to be an interview
between a reporter of La Vanguardia
and Manuel Tinio, director Of the bu-
reau OF labor, ST. Tinio makes the
statement that owing to several COM
plants made against the agents of
the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Associa-
ton that they have been recruiting
labor for their plantations in the
Philippines by inducing young lads
under 16 to enter their service, the
strong letter to Mr.. Stevon the local
agent of the company, warning him to
take more care in choosing his men
The greater number of the lab
orers under 16 who have been TAX
en- to Hawaii have been recruited
through the aid of a Filipino who has
labor agency in Manila, and it is
claimed that he has made promises to
these youths which have not been au-
thorized by the company, and of
which the local agent of the company
was not aware.
Several of the youths have also ap-
preached the agent in a desire to en-
list in the service of the company,
and have falsely stated their Gges
There is a great desire all over the
country among the younger genera
ton to get out of the country and see
something of the world, and in or
der to accomplish their end they
have deliberately lied to the agents
as to their ages. Their parents have
objected to their leaving home and
much publicity has been given the, af-
fair in the Spanish and Filipino pap
eTs.
According to the company's agent
the legitimatek complaints against
treatment melted out to the laborers
in Hawaii and on the voyage out are
very few and easily settled and that
nearly all the complaints come from
politicians who have started a deter
mined campaign against the company
for no other reason than because it is
an American concern.

SEWED $1,000 UP
IN HIS PATIENT
Surgeon then Opened up the Human
Safety Deposit Vault and
Recovered Check.

PARIS, March Many surgeon
has had to repeat an operation to
recover bits of sponge or other madi-
cal equipment left in the victim on
the operating table, but the story is
going the rounds here that brilliant
French surgeon has distinguished him
self by leaving HIS fee in the suffer
er's abdomen when he stitched it up.
The patient was a merchant, who
saw to all the arrangements himself,
up to the commencement of the oper-
alton for appendicitis. The last thing
he did before going under the anaes-
thetic was to pay the surgeons fee
with check for $1,000. The great
man tossed it aside on pile of abb
sorbent wool that was presently in
use.
Later when the last stitches were
being put in after the opera tion, he
looked for the fee and could not find
it. A terrible fear seized him. He
opened the patient again and found
the Doodle, according to the story that
is diverting medical circles.
