received from the officials was shown
when they drew big picture of police
man with the words "American Liber-
ty'' written in English across it, hung
1T up on tree and threw stones and
mud at it all day. This pastime afford
ed them great deal of pleasure.
The conditions last night were worse
than they have ever been since the Rus
slams established themselves at Iwilei.
A constant stream of Chinese, Japa-
nese, marines, soldiers and sailors pass
ed in and opt of the camp continually
and the moral conditions are frightfui.
The Russian men look on over their
shamed households with the utmost un-
concern, satisfied to live on the money
thus obtained while they whine about
their persecution"
Probable Action.
There is some possibility of trouble
this afternoon as the police intend to
go to the camp, pick out the ten leaders
of the riot Friday night and arrest
them on John Doe warrants.
This action will be taken when Cap
tain Nelson 8 watch goes ON mount as
it was this watch that dealt with them
SO effectively during the riot. The Of
ficers, before they charged, had been
given orders to look closely at three or
four men SO that they would be easily
recognized later.
Sheriff Jarrett will probably look up
the owners of the land where the Rus
slams are encamped and endeavor to
get an order of ejectment. The land is
believed to be owned by the o. R. & l..
and as that company can be required
to live up to the sanitary laws of the
city which demand that the camp be
provided with sewers, it should be only
too glad to give the necessary order.
This will settle the matter for few
days and if the action is continued and
the loafers are thrown from pillar to
post often enough, they will soon decide
that plantation life might be just as
easy.
Advice from Socialists.
Yesterday the local Socialists met
and debated over the Russian situation,
the Iwilei brethren having asked the
Honolulans for advice. The local fol-
lowers of Tolstoy decided that the i'm
ported ones were'"up against it, and
had better submit to the tyrannies of
the plantation lunas, with decent
house to live in and enough to eat
without having to sell their women to
secure it. This advice they drafted
in the form of a letter, which was
translated and delivered to the Rus.
slams yesterday afternoon.
At last advices, the Russian Duma
at Iwilei had the matter in committee
of the whole and were "consider-
ing" it.
The Honolulu Socialists believe that
the advice will be followed out. "The
Russians will take advice from us when
they won It take it from anybody else,"
said one of them last night.
The letter sent to the Russians was
as follows:
""To the Russian Immigrants.
