Ar RGONAUT WOULD
LET IN CHINESE
Urges That the Exclusion Laws
Be Suspended as Far as
Hawaii Is Concerned.

In discussing the labor problems of
Hawaii and, incidentally, the question
of a suspension of the passenger restric-
tions of the coastwise law, the San
Francisco Argonaut says:
"An easy and certain solution of the
Hawaiian labor problem is in plain
sight, lacking only the consent of the
American government. China literally
teens with an element perfectly suited
to the work of the island plantations.
All the labor needed to establish island
could be had in six months time If
there could be limited suspension of
the exclusion law. If fifty thousand
Chinese, or even half that number,
could be brought into the Islands it
would put a quietus to the pending labor
troubles and establish the local pros
perity upon largely expanded basis.
"There is an old saw which recites
the folly of cutting off one's nose to
spite one IS face. This is precisely what
we are doing in Hawaii. For the sake
of a stupid and technical consistency,
deserving of no respect or consideIa-
ton on the score Of common sense, we
are preventing the island planters from
supplying their need from the one
source whence it might easily and suit
ably be done. 1t is not case difficult
10 analyze, not case presenting legiti-
mate problems. 1t is simply a case
where, through political cowardice, no.
body is willing to take the lead. One
bold and strong member of congress
who would make himself master of the
facts and who would act without fear
of the labor unions ought to be able
to bring about a relaxation of the law
! that would mean fortune to the Ha-
waiian Islands and imply substantial
advantage to American industry.
"There is another point at which the
severity of restrictive law works hard
ship upon the Hawaiian Islands. There
is regulation which restricts the pas
senger traffic to the great inconvenience
of those who pass to and fro between
the Islands and the mainland. Trans
pacific steamers going and coming stop
at Honolulu, but they may not carry
passengers between the Islands and the
mainland because a fool law enacted
presumptively in the interest of the
American merchant marine forbids it.
This works hardship in hundred forms,
tending to the restraint of trade and to
the isolation of the Islands. 1t ought
to be removed so far as the Islands
are concerned. Instead of so maintain
ing the law as to burden the Islands
we ought to recast it to their advan
tage. A time has come when a set OF
restrictions devised for simpler times
and conditions are obstructive ant
otherwise mischievous.

THIRTY BILLION IN
THE NATIONS FARMS
Great Increase in Values Is
Shown by Census
Figures.

CHICAGO, December 3U.-The United
States has 100000, 100000 invested in
Farm lands, their buildings, machinery
and livestock, according to census
taken by Orange Judd Farmer. From
! 100000 in 1850, the number of farms
has increased TO nearly 100000 in
1909.
The report adds: "No such increase
in agricultural land values was ever
known before in the history of the
world in any country. The value of
farms in the United States has in
creased A per cent more than in 1900,
the figures of that year showing an
increase of 25 per cent over the pre-
vious decade"
The most remarkable figures pre-
sented show that the Western section,
which includes New Mexico, Colorado,
Wyoming, Montana and other States
has, in the past ten years, shown an
increase in the number of farms of 1OO
per cent. At the same time the value
has increased 9S per cent and the prod
ucts 2ll per cent.
Values of farms in the South Central
States have increased 5S per cent and
in the North Central States 43 per cent
In the North Atlantic States there ha'

TRACING THE
ANONYMOUS
LETTER WRITER

An investigation, carried on by
several of the leading Portuguese of
the city, was made yesterday in an at
tempt to trace the sender of the anony-
nous letters sent to Doctors Sinclair
and Judd, of the board of medical ex
aminers, as reported IN The Advertiser
yesterday. The result of the investiga-
ton and comparison of the handwrit-
ing of the anonymous letters with that
on some signed letters has ucen to con.
vince the investigators of the identity
of the writer, although no legal proof
is forthcoming.
If the deductions of the investigators
are correct, the letters were Sent with
view of prejudicing the examiners
against DIR. Gaspar and were not sent
by any friend of the applicant for
license. This makes the act of writing
and mailing the letters all the more
despicable, as not being the work of
some ignorant person.
In connection with the matter
several delegations of Portuguese
called at The Advertiser Office yester-
day, while probably score OF COM
munications were also received. Among
the delegates and the correspondents
there was much indignation against the
writer of the letters and his attempt
to create suspicion that the Fortu-
guese as class are opposed to the
medical practitioners of the city.
From o Luso Office was sent literal
translation of communication receiv-
ed this week, publication of which was
refused. 1t was written and signed by
Doctor Pinto, in which he accuses the
board of medical examiners of unfair
ness towards Doctor Gaspar. Lusc
refused to publish it for obvious rea
sons. One paragraph of it reads:
"The three examiners nominated FOL

.DASTARDLY WORK
OF HUMAN BRUTE
Attacks on Women Have Thrown
Aiea Plantation Into Reign
of Terror.

Aiea is in the throes of reign of
terror. The women shiver with appre-
hension when they hear a step upon the
veranda, and the men are Investing in
guns and revolvers. which they are
keeping ready for instant use. A rene
gade who preys upon defenseless
women is causing the alarm.
How long the miscreant has been car
rying on his work is not known, as it
was not until he turned from the hum
BILE quarters of the laborers and direct
ed his efforts toward the houses of the
plantation officers that the story of the
dastardly depredations leaked out. The
police have the matter in charge but
as yet have not been successful in get
ting hold of any clue to work on.
Thursday morning the officials of the
plantation were Mortified to learn that
a man had attempted to assault the
wife of one of their number. An in
vestigation was hurriedly started and
soon it was learned that the wretch
had successfully terrorized the Japanese
quarters for some time, but that by
threats he had managed to frighten his
victims into keeping quiet.
The attempted assault made Thurs
day morning was particularly dastardly.
The husband of the intended victim had
left the house early. The woman was
rudely awakened by the blanket being
torn off her bed, and next she found
herself graphing with an intruder.
Pluckily she fought, screaming for help
all the time, and the assailant ulti-
mately desisted, making his escape be-
fore assistance came.
AS quickly as the news of the at
tempted assault was spread about the
plantation, the men organized man.

fully searched, no trace of the mis-.
creant could be found, and the search
was given up.
The plantation authorities called the
police to their assistance and the lat
ter made every effort to get on The
trail of the miscreant. Should the mar
be captured by the plantation work
men it is likely to go hard with him
for feeling against him is at fever

Sheriff Jarrett stated last evening
that no clue to the identity of the mar
had been discovered. He stated, how
ever, that the testimony of those who
had seen him leads to the belief that
the human brute is Porto Rican, and
careful search of all the surrounding
district is being made. 1t is probabl,
that arrests will be made today.

Work was begun yesterday on the
observatory being erected in Kaimuki
to house the big telescope of the Col

scriptions been coming in that yester-
day President Gilmore of the College
of Hawaii felt justified in making a
start, and he took a party of workmen
out to the site selected.
The work will be rushed along, that
the telescope may be mounted in plenty
of time to allow all to have an oppor.

SOCIOLOGICAL
INVESTIGATION
Census Director Clark and Pa
lama Rath to Collect
information.
CFrOm Saturday IS Advertiser,


Acting on advices received yesterday
from Washington, Census Director Clark
will, within short time, institute a
sociological investigation, the results
of which will be Incorporated in the
report TO congress. Superintendent
Rath of the Palama mission will be in
charge of the collection of data.
This s.investigation is not directly con-
nected with the census work, but as
the prospects are that there is to be
special book on Hawaii, which will
be more or less of an official handbook
Of the Islands, the data collected will
probably be incorporated in the report.
The investigation will, in general, be
similar to that undertaken by the Rus
sell Sage foundation in New York and
Pittsburg. The information wanted in
cludes family incomes in Hawaii, hous-
ing conditions, the cost of living, and
other items relating to the welfare of
the working people. Data will be col
lected showing the relative conditions
of the working people Of the various
nationalities in Hawaii.
For the purpose of collecting the in
formation wanted it is proposed to
select from each nationality in Hawaii
about one hundred workingmen IS fam
lilies, not of the dependent class, to
cooperate in the work.
The schedules to be used have been
prepared by Mr.. Rath and are based
on those used in similar Investigations
on the mainland. The bureau of labor
has cooperated in the preparation of the
schedules.

WAY SPLIT UP THE PARTY
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, January s.-Ballin-
ger has drawn first blood in his battle
with Clifford Pinchot, head of the divi.
sion of forestry of the department of
agriculture. President Taft yesterday
summarily dismissed Pinchot from of
fee.
With Pinchot fell Overton w. Price,
associate forester and chief of the bu-
reau of forest measurements, and Soli-
citor Shaw, head of the legal depart
ment of the forest service. Price had
been in the department since 1899 and
was Pinchot IS righthand man.
! Insubordination on the part of Pin
chot and his lieutenant is the reason
given for the summary action of the
President. The reading of the fores-
ter IS letter to Senator Dolliver, making
certain charges against the secretary
of the interior, was the immediate cause
of the removal of the official. The let
ter was read in the senate during the
course of the Ballinger investigation,
and Immediately caused a Juror
President Indignant.
The reading of the letter aroused
the keenest resentment on the part of
the President, who charged that the
dignity of his, high office had been at.
tackled.
The cabinet was in session through
out the afternoon. When the meeting
came to a close, the announcement was
made that Pinchot IS official head had
fallen and that with their chief had
fallen the two highest officials of the
forestry division.
1t is believed that the action of the
President will lead to harsh words in
congress. Political observers declare
that the situation created by the dis
missal of Pinchot is the most tense
that has existed in years. Pinchot has
large following throughout the coun'
try and his dismissal is sure to lead to
much bitterness, say those Intimately
acquainted with the political situa-
tion.
1t is freely predicted that the drop
| ping of Pinchot will result in breach
between President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt and it is feared that the Re.
publican party is facing the danger of
serious split. The situation is gen.
orally admitted to be critical.
Insurgent Victory.
| The insurgents won their first vic
tory in connection with the coming in
vestigation of the department of the
interior and the forestry service. by
a margin of three votes they forced
the adoption of an amendment to the
house resolution calling for the investi.
| CATION. This amendment takes the ap-
pointing of the investigating commit
tee out of the hands of Speaker Can
non and provides that, instead, the
house shall elect the members.
When the result of the vote was an
nounced, there was wild cheering in the
house.

: WASHINGTON, December 23.-Ha.
waiian business at the Capital has been
halted by the holiday season, as is the
case with nearly all other business of
a public character. There will be lit
tie done till after the New Year for
congress is not in session and the de.
partments are running along lightly.
There is keen interest here over the
second federal judgeship, as far as the
Hawaiian colony is concerned, but ap:
parently no decision is to be made by
the President just yet. Secretary Bal
linger has taken ground unfavorable to
the nomination of A. G. M. Robertson
for Judge, but how much influence this
will have with the President and the
attorneygeneral has not yet developed.
AS far as known there are no other
candidates in the field, although it is
not questioned that there are several
lawyers in Hawaii who would gladly
accept the place.
Governor Frear returned here from
New York, hut only for halliday to
chat with the attorney-general about
filling the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Judge Wilder.
Prohibition Lobbyists.
John G. Woolley and several other
reformers, during a recent reformer s
convention in Washington, made a fer
vent appeal to the senate committee
on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico for
prohibition in Hawaii. The committee
has taken no further action yet. The
I,H 1ar n nrU
] and Mr.. Mcclellan is awaiting his
coming before taking any step with
reference to the proposition. Probably
the matter is not to be taken seriously.
The sentiment of congress undoubted-
ly is against voting prohibition upon
any of the Territories, although what
might happen if the bill were forced
to vote might be another question.
