ROW AMONG THE REGISTRARS

The registration board closed its
books last night with a total of 1886
voters registered, a gain of 1109 over
the registration of 1908.
The fourth district leads the fifth
district by six votes.
Registration for 1908 gave total of
6427 votes Of which 3239 were from the
fourth and 3lsS from the fifth.
The town was secured yesterday for
eligible voters and autos were used by
the Republican party to bring in de-
linquents. Every effort was used by
both parties to get every voter III line
and registered.
The rush came after four O'Clock,
when the board opened for its last SEES
sion remaining open until ten clock
last night when Chairman Chillingworth
dramatically extinguished the lights
and declared the board adjourned
That adjournment, however, marks a
hiatus in the affairs of the board, for
Registrars John d. Holt and A. *.
Vierra have practically resigned their
positions, and will lay their complaints
before Governor Frear tomorrow morn
ing. Both resigned because of what
they considered an adverse arbitrary
ruling on the part of the chairman. In
brief, the trouble occurred over the
question of whether Young veters, who
will be twentyone years OF age after
yesterday and before election day,
could be registered The Board unani-
mousy decided to not register any not
yet twenty-one years of age, being their
version of the law and in which they
were supported by A. Lindsay, attor-
, ney-general. At one o'clock yesterday
afternoon a bunch of young men who
will shortly be twenty-one years old
were brought in and a statement made
that one of the circuit judges had de-
clared they were eligible to be regis
tered Thereupon Chairman Chilling
worth ordered Messrs. Holt and Vierra

They refused on the ground that the
board had decided what to do in such
instances, and on the further ground
that no written decision had been
brought before the board
Chairman Chillingworth thereupon
personally registered the half-dozen
coming voters, and the remaining two
members of the board then declared

CAN BUILD
IN 10 DAYS
Field Battery Quarters Can Be
Prepared in Short
Order.

No provision has yet been made at
Schofeld Barracks for the battery of
field artillery, as no instructions have
been received by the commanding Off
Ger, Colonel Schuyler, Fifth Cavalry,
to prepare quarters. Only a copy of
the order directing the battery to leave
San Francisco on the November trans
port has been received. The horses for
the battery will probably be sent at a
later date, possibly on the Dix, together
with the mounts of the second squadron
of the Fifth Cavalry.
Colonel Schuyler states that the quar-
tiers can be erected in eighteen days
from the receipt of the order to do SO.
The news that the war department
had created separate military district
of Hawaii was received by army Off
GERS with a grain of salt. They have
had no information regarding it except
through the press which received cable
dispatches of the organization of the
district. However, the Sierra brought
definite information that Colonel Ma
comb, on becoming brigadier general
in November, would be the first regular
commander of the district.
Lieutenant Winter, Fifth Cavalry, is
still at work on his glider aeroplane.
and it is expected to be ready for test
flights in a short time. This aeroplane
is designed to be taken to an elevated
place and showed off into space from

JAPS BOUND To
TAHITI V|A OAHU
Over a Hundred Aboard Mon
goIa Seeking New Fields for
Moneymaking.

Is Honolulu to become clearing
house for the distribution of japanese
from their native islands to different
parts of the world, especially to North
and South American countries?
a peculiar proposition presents itself
for the consideration of American
statesmen and the thinkers of the gov,
ernments of other countries in the two
great continents joined Together by the
Panama Canal. Today, for example
there arrived in Honolulu. per Pacific
Mail steamship Mongolia, one hundred
and twenty two japanese who are bound
for Tahiti.
This is the extraordinary part of it
all-that they are bound for Tahiti.
Years ago the Japanese flooded into
the Hawaiian Islands, attracted by the
opportunities of making more money on
the Hawaiian sugar plantations than
they could ever make on the lands
of their own country. When a limita-
ton was marked as far as these Islands
were concerned, and they did not see
the same opportunities existing here
which existed before, they commenced
and thousands upon thousands got into
the western States. They emigrated to
Canada, also, and then to Mexico. and
for years Peru and Chile have been re-
ceiving them IN shiploads. but the fact
that they are now headed for Tahiti is
Itaken as a most significant sign in two
ways. First, it is likely that they are
| becoming less welcome in the mainland
T -pl y
they have already been limited as far
as coming to the Hawaiian Islands is
concerned. Second, what is there to at
tract them to Tahiti?
The one hundred and twenty-five who
are aboard the Mongolia are going from
here to San Francisco, where they in
tend to transship 20 the Oceanic Steam
ship Mariposa and be carried to Tahiti
VIII they stay in Tahiti, or will they
later find their way to Australian
Is 1t an attempt on their part to get
into Australia, where for several years
the cry of Keep out the Orientall' -
has been raised?
As far as Peru and Chile are con
cerned, there IS still room for great
numbers Of japanese to work. And
Mexico, even, is anxious TO get .Japa-
nese laborers, but in the United States
and Canada the people have begun to
find out that cheap japanese labor is
! labor that creates disturbances and is
not desirable in the long run, for the
reason that the japanese form trusts
among themselves and hold up import
ant harvesting and other work, with the
intention of doing business on their own
account, irrespective Of carrying out

Mr.. Campbell were rather pessimistic,
which grew more so as the Funchal
papers began to knock the "emigra-
ton" and to publish reports dated from
Hawaii in which the Islands were given
black eye. The Funchal papers
strongly advised their readers to stay
at home. It was to counteract these
reports, supposed TO come from here,
that local Portuguese cabled at length
to Fu1chal recently.
Now, however. from what cause has
not been given out, there is decided
change in the tenor of Mr. Campbell s
reports. He is still on the job, he says,

President Taft, and, without revealing
his identity, related to her the fact that
IN the city of Boston he had overheard
a plot to assassinate the President.
Threatening to kill the woman if she
breathed a word of what he had said to
her, and leaving her in nervous state
bordering on hysteria, the unknown
man disappeared as mysteriously as he
had made himself seen.
The police have taken the matter in
hand and the Boston authorities have
been communicated with in hopes of
either running down the plot or else
ascertaining that the information is the
imagination of lunatic.

Conditions at
Chang Sha Again
Most Serious
All Foreigners Are Officially Notified
to Seek Refuge on Ships that
Are Available.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Another uprs-
ing at Chang Sha, China, is feared. The
commander of the United States gunboat
Helena has telegraphed the State depart
ment from Hankow that the conditions at
Chang Sha were most serious and that all
foreigners were notified officially on the
18th inst to seek refuge on the ships that
were available. The war vessels in the
river are believed to be sufficiently strong
to control the situation.
Although the State department has not
been officially advised as to the nature of
the extent Of the present threatened upris-
ing, it is believed It has been directed princi-
pally against the Manchu government.
The present movement in Human province
is of more than ordinary significance, in
asmuch as the province is one of the most
wealthy and important in all China. The
people Of the province have long been
noted for their anti-foreign sentiment.
The proposed line OF railroad from Han
kow south runs directly through this
province. and II is believed the disturbed
conditions there will stimulate the Chinese
authorities to their best effort to bring
about the construction of this road as
early as possible, as upon it's completion
the government Will be in a position to
rush troops to the disaftected sections.

observers at Fort Omaha on the afternoon
OF Friday May 10.

Harmed Fremont county farmer, had a
battle that came near losing MIN his valued
sombrero and added spice TO the chase. Mr..
Harmed seized the balloon cords which re-
leased the partly filled rubber envelope
from the parachute covering which sup
ports the instruments. His hat became en-
tangled in the strings and he found him
self standing In the middle OF the fields
with the instrument basket in his hands.
while the gas bag started across country
with his headgear.
Sam Chambers, with whom he had set
out on the balloon hunt, brought down the
pirate balloon with a lucky throw OF a
stick. which punctured the rubber en-
velope
When the wounded balloon came down
within reach, they captured II. and tying
up the break, drove back to Anderson, a
