LUAU TONIGHT

The fifty employees of the Hawaiian
Star Newspaper Association will have
their annual luau this evening. The
scene of the celebration has the appro-
pirate name Of Printers lane. and
there the Star workers will gather az
seven thirty. The typesticker who
is in charge of the arrangements has
not given out any details as to what
will be provided, but there are great
expectations, and if they are not real
lied the machine men promise to
spend all next week setting roasts OF

Sanatorium at Hanalei.
HANALEI, August 27.-It is rumor
ed that sanatorium is to be erected
on the Hanalei beach, the site to te
on a piece of government land on the
Wainiha side of c. b. Makee's resi-

out. the Board of Health will cree
the building, place a nurse in charg'
of it whose duty it will be to see that
those who are afflicted with tubercu

being to have them spend each da

PHILIPPINE REPRESENTATIVE IN
CONGRESS OUTLINES PLANS
FOR A FILIPINO REPUBLIC

Upper House Of the Philippines legis-
lature, thereby placing Immediately
the whole legislative power in their
hands.
Third.-Two years after the Fill
pino people have been conducting
their legislative work, there shall be
held convention to fame a consti-
tuition for the Philippine republic,
and after its adoption by the people,
the power of all American Secretaries
shall cease, and they shall be sue
ceeded by Filipino secretaries duly
elected by the people.
Fourth.-After the lapse of another
two years, the Filipinos shall have
the right to elect the chief executive
of the Philippine Islands, who will
be called thenceforward the president
Of the Philippine republic. After the
said president has been elected and
qualified, and for two years there
after, there shall remain in the Phil
ippiness, as representative of the
American sovereignty, an American
official who shall be called Omitted
States Commissioner in the Philip
pines" and who shall act as adviser
to the president of the Philippine Ie-
public on international matters dur
ing the time above mentioned.
Flfth.-Two years thereafter the
full and absolute independence of the
Philippine republic shall be granted
by the United States and the full
power and authority over the Philip
pine archipelago shall be given to the
: Filipino people themselves.
Both of the aforesaid schemes
should include the naturalization of
the Philippine republic by an inter
S national agreement
Either of these propositions is the
e only solution of the Philippine prob
S lem that will do justice to the Fill
e Pine people and honor to the United
n States. The world knows that the
o Filpinos helped the American troops
ct to defeat the Spaniards in the Phil
e. ippines because they were led to be
IL lieve. and did believe that the United
he States would not. hold the Philippine
IN archipelago in subsection, but woul'
IL free and help the Filipinos to estat
to lish an Independent government.
ne 1t is. therefore, moral duty @
the United States to the Filipinos, t
Ct give them their own government an
ty assure them the free enjoyment
ip. their independence by means of a
liz international agreement. That tt
ld- time is ripe for the liberty of the Fl
all ipinos and for the naturalization
the islands, is evident.
est During thirteen years of America
occupation the Filipinos have show
ms. that they are a progressive, civilize
mi law abiding. liberty loving peop
eg. and the sentiment of the civiliz
2 world in favor of peace is so strol
the that it will be an easy matter for t
nos United States to get the great powe
"a to agree to neutraliGe the Philippi
ept- Islands. Very sincerely yours,

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Follow-
ing Up his previous activities looking
to the eventual independence of the
Filipino people Manuel Quezon, resi-
dent commissioner from the Philip
pine Islands, has forwarded to every
Senator and member of Congress a
letter outlining his own views on the
Philippine problem and calling upon
them for support in his endeavors. In
the short time that has elapsed since
the letters were mailed he has re-
ceived replies in astonishing num-
bers, the surprising feature of which
is that while none have declared
themselves unalterably opposed 10
eventual independence, the great ma
iority have assured him of their
hearty sympathy and support. A linn
tied number are noncommittal and
express a desire to discuss the matter
with Mr.. Quezon in the near future.
Many Senators and Representatives
are out of the city and additional re-
plies are coming in by every mail. Mr..
j Quezon's letter, which was dated June
i 81 but not mailed for several days
later, reads as follows:
June 81, 1911.
My Dear Sir: Allow me to trouble
you for an expression of your views

ideas as to legislation on the subject

the only right and just solution.
There are two ways of withdrawing

Prospects Of the passage Of the Dill
inqham immigration law, with its eN-
cIuslon of all aliens not eligible to be-
come citizens, have raised discussion
as to the status Of Japanese. There
has not yet been a decision by the
United States Supreme Court on
whether they can be naturaIized or
not" said United States Attorney
Breekons. "The matter has never
been carried up. There have been
some federal decisions to the effect
that Japanese can become naturalized.
Recent decisions on the subject show
the problem to be difficult one, from
a legal point Of view.
"a highly Interesting decision on the
subject was recently handed down BY
the United States circuit court OF
Massachusetts. It shows that there
may be considerable difficulty, under
the present statutes, in deciding what
is meant by the word white in the
sections allowing naturalization OF
white persons. What do you think OF
conclusion that Hebrews are
Asiatics? It's in this decision"
The decision in question was in the
cases or four Armenlans whose right
to naturalization was contested. The
court held that they were entitled e
naturalization, in a decision reading II
part as follows;
The Courts Ruling.

form, thus again limiting naturaliza-
ton to % free white persons, and ~
Africans within the act of 1870. The
broad phrase "any alien" was left un-
changed in sections 2165-216S, and its
meaning therein was defined and cut
down by section 2169. This is the
most reasonable construction Of sec
ton 2169 in. its present form. To
make the additional EXPRESS inclusion
of whites by the amendment of 1875
operate to exclude all other persons
from naturalization is an awkward con-
struction, but seems inevitable. By

The United States contends,
further, that there 10 an Asiatic or
