YANKEES AND JAPS
AT ODDS IN HAWAII
Appointment of Nipponese
Teacher Causes Great
Indignation.

HONOLULU, Jan. 5.-Antagonisn
that has reached unusual virulence, ex.
lists between the American and Japa-
nese residents of this city as the re-
suit of an appointment of Miss Toxic
Mlamto, an educated Japanese girl. az
a teacher in the Honolulu Central Gram
mar School, and her immediate resig-
nation in the face of indignant public
sentiment.
The japanese papers are publishing
infiammatory articles denouncing the
leaders Of the, protest against Miss
Miamto's appointment, while the Eng
lish press upholds the leaders and in
dorses the American sentiment.
Miss Miamto was appointed a teacher
of English. There was no question OF
her qualifications, but the Americans
who have long resented the steady en-
Croachmept of the Japanese into the is
land and social life of the community
grew most indignant.
Most vigorous among those opposing
Miss Miamoto's appointment was Judge
A. w. Lightfoot, one of the keading at
torneys of the Hawaiian Islands, who
lodged a sensational protest with the
school commissioners, and who has since
several Vitriolic letters in
the papers. Judge Lightfoot numbers
among his clients some Of the wealthiest
J Japanese business men of the islands.
He became leader of the indignant
however, when a japanese
teacher was proposed.

ROBIN AND HIS
NAME IN DISPUTE
His Sister Denies Claim of
People Asserting They
Are His Parents.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-By denying that
Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Rabinovitch, an
aged couple found living in poverty In
Williamsburg. are the parents Of Joseph
6. Robin, his sister, DR.. Louise Rabino-
witch, today added an element of mys-
terry to the case of the young Sky
rocket financier' and bank juggler.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rabinovitch. who were
found in squalid lodgings at 961 Bush
wick avenue. Williamsburg, are accused
by former District Attorney Jerome,
counsel for Robin, of trying to foist
themselves into the case for monetary
gain. Blackmail has been alleged in
veiled statements. The facts surround
ing the finding Of the alleged pair, how
ever, fatty contradict these statements.
District Attorney Whitman is today
investigating the story told by the cou-
pie because DIR. Robinovitch in her af-
fidavit filed with Justice Page in the
proceedings to have her brother de-
clared an incompetent, stated that she
had been separated from her parents
In Russia by the Russian government.
On their side, Mr.. and Mrs. Robino-
Witch hold a birth certificate showing
that thirty-four years ago a child, who
they named Josef Robinovitch was born
to them In Odessa, Russia. They claim
that Robin changed his name from
Rabinovitch for business reasons.

British Want High Duty
On Japanese Imports

LONDON, Jan. 5.-Owing to Japan's
refusal to negotiate a renewal of the
present commercial treaty with Eng
land, when it expires on July l. 1911,
there is a growing demand today in the
British commercial world for a heavy
tariff on Japanese imports, and for the
abrogatiOn Of the Anglo-Japanese al
lianca treaty, concluded in 1905, and
which will terminate in 1915.
British manufacturers are convinced
that they will suffer under the new
japanese tariff, as in the last thirty
years English imports from Japan have
Increased eight times, while Japanese
imports from England have trebled.
They estimate that the new tariff will
cut down British exports to Japan at
least S5,000,00O annually.
From the English standpoint, the only
possible view to take of Japan's policy
is that the Mikado is determined to
build up a great empire in the Far
East, and to exclude the rest of the
world from its sphere of influence.

MINISTER COOMBS
RESIGNS PERU POST
Successor Decided on, and
Name Is Ready for Sen
ate Confirmation.

Leslie NJ. Coombs, who has been in
the diplomatic service of the United
States since 1902. and whose last post
was that of minister to Peru, today
sent his resignation to the State De-
partment. II has been accepted
A successor has practically been de-
cided upon. His name will be sent to
the Senate for confirmation as soon
as that body reconvenes. Had it not
been for the death of Senator Stephen
3. Elkins, out of whose memory the
Senate today adjourned, the name of
the new minister to Peru would have
been sent in today.
The former minister to Peru was
born in Rhode Island, but his resi-
dence was at Lexington, KY, where
ne has a large stock and breeding
farm. 1t is the intention of Mr..
Coombs to return to his hobby of
raising fine horses and cattle. His
health is said to be the cause of his
resignation, which was not unex-
pected.
Mr.. Coombs was minister to Guate-
mala and Honduras during 1902 and
1906. when he was stationed at Peru.

Fall River to Observe
Cotton Mill Centennial

FALL RIVER Mass, Jan. 5.-The
present year marks the one hundredth
anniversary OF the beginning of cotton
spinning In Fall River. and project is
afoot for an appropriate celebration.
1t was in 1911 that Col Joseph Durfee
promoted the first cotton mill in what
is now Fall River then the town OF
Troy. The original mill is still stand
ing, somewhat remodeled as the result
Of fire many years ago, and is now used
as a storehouse. Since the first Durfee
mill was established the people of Fall
River have been liberal supporters OF
the industry, with the result that this
city is now the greatest cotton manu-
featuring center in America. Within
the limits Of the city there are now
forty corporations operating 1900. 600
spindles, capitalized at about $40, 900.

NICARAGUA PLEASED

A long dispatch was received at the

Olivares, stationed at Managua, Mica
ragua, in which IT was declared that the
election of Estrada. on December 81.
and the congratuIatory telegram sent
the conqueror Of Zelaya and Madriz by
President Taft has caused great satis-
faction and qualification throughout the
country.
Another factor which is said to have
caused the large business interests of
Nicaragua to vastly improve within the
few days since the December elections,
says Consul Olivares, is the broad pol
icy which President Estrada has al
ready launched.
The Presidents telegram of congratu-
Iations is taken as evidence that before
many days Nicaragua will be formally
recognized at Washington.

Flint Has Plan For
Great Auxiliary Fleet

Senator Flint now proposes that the
coaStwise shipping of the United States
be allowed to use the Panama Canal
free of charge and that in return for
the free passage through the Canal, the
ships place themselves at the disposal
of the United States Government for
war purposes.
The Californian, who is chairman of
the Senate Committee on Interoceanic
Canals, has talked to the President
about his proposition. He believes he
will find support for it in Congress, and
if so, he will introduce the bill himself
eXempting the coastwise business from
cost in passing from ocean to ocean.
81 am in favor of relieving all coast
wise vessels from tolls in connection
ator, provided the vessels taking ad-
vantage of the free use of the water
way place themselves at our disposal
in time of war.
Great Fleet of Auxiliaries.
This means of course that we can
call upon the ships when the Govern
ment desires them, for collier or trans
port service, and thereby maintain a
9reat fleet of auXiliaries year in and
year out without the cost of a dollar to
the Government.
companies which would use the canal
for coastwise movement of freight would
gladly Obligate themselves to deliver
their ships to the Government, in case
OF war, for the privilege of sailing
through the canal at no expense to
themselves.
Under our present statutes, our coast
wise regulations extend to the Panama
Canal Zone. All ships sailing from Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia, or Bal
timore for San Francisco. San Diego,
Portland, or Seattle, through the canal
would be engaged in the coastwise
trade. They would therefore, come un-
der the provisions of the law which
have proposed"
Laws Bar Foreign Ships.
At present the navigation laws of the
country prohibit foreign bottoms en-
gaging in the coastwise trade This will
leave all the Atlantic-to-the-Pa Pacific
coast movement of vessels to the Ameri-
can steamship companies. No foreign
ers, whether tramp or regular liners,
can participate in the business between
the two coasts.
This being the case, no discrimination
can take place against foreign ships.
Under the treaty terms which prohibit
the United States from discriminating
in it's canal regulations against foreign
countries, no faVorS can be granted to
American vessels.
There being no foreign ships engaged
in the American coastwise trade, the
question Of discrimination would there
fore be eliminated should the Flint idea
become a law.
1t is known that the President is par
ticularly anxious to have the question
of canal tolls settled at the short ses-
sion of Congress. He has held a num-
ber of conferences with the leaders of
both houses of Congress and impressed
on them the necessity of immediate
action.
This action is necessary from the fact
that at least eighteen months are re-
quired for the readjustment of the ocean
rates of the world, and it is the belief
of steamship men that the entire system
of water rates will have to be over
hauled to meet the new conditions Incl
dent to the opening of the canal.
