(FTom Saturdays AdVertser.)
The arrest of Captain Miller for
"aiding and abetting" in the illegal
recruiting of labor in Hawaii, the ar
rest of McEldowney, one of the mali
hinis who arrived on the Senator, on
similar charge, the arrests of two jap /
anese helpers of the Miller Salvage
Company, and the rearrest of Craig Is
two Filipino interpreters were the an
nouncements yesterday of the Hawa-
ian authorities that after all it is not
absolutely safe to monkey with the Ha-
waiian statues.
Craig, the chief recruiter, is still at
large, although a new warrant was
sworn ont against him yesterday, as
well as one against Bell, another SEN
ator man.
Gained Some Recruits.
A few stray recruits were taken out
to the Santor yesterday on launches of
the Miller Salvage Company, but no
large detachments were gathered dur
ing the day or last night, while the
Senator was kept under strict surveil-
lance by the police. One launch was
sent out toward Waikiki to cruise the
entire night between Diamond Head
and the mouth of the harbor; another
launch, with Chester Doyle, commits
stoned deputy high sheriff by High
Sheriff Henry, in command, remained
near the Senator throughout the night,
and another launch patrolled the en-
trance to Pearl Harbor and Kalihi.
Federal Court Steps In.
A writ of habeas corpus was issued
from the federal court yesterday after
noon at the behest of Judge Stanley,
acting as counsel for a mother whose
minor son went aboard the Senator
Thursday night. The writ was placed
in the hands of United States Marshal
Hendry for service, but receiving as
surance from Collector Stackable that
the Senator would not be given clear
anee last night, service of the writ was
deferred until this morning. This in.
sures the Senator being off port this
morning, as without clearance papers
the vessel would face a penalty on ar
irving at the Coast destination, PEN
alty which under the United States
laws is severe.
The developments of the case yester-
day Indicated that the local authorities
had a grip on the situation which they
did not have on Thursday when the
Senator arrived, and the matter has
now reached the courts, where legal
battle will involve the right of the
Alaska canneries to make raids upon
the Island labor supply, which Is
severely curtaIled and restricted by the
federal laws.
piscontent at San Francisco.
While the steamship Senator cruised
mn and down outside the three-mile'
limit zone off port yesterday morning
waiting for more recruits to be sent on
board to Join the l25 that were taken
ont the night before under somewhat
sensational conditions, came the an
nouncement that not only had the re-
cruits sent up to San Francisco on the
Korea refused to agree to the contracts
unless their pay was raised, as an
nounced in an Advertiser cable, but the
recruits who went up on the Wilhel
nina had joined the ranks of the dis
eontented ones, had struck and had
scattered about the Bay City.
Then came the announcement that
number of the "recruitsn at San Fran
cisco had sent cablegram to the plant
ers' association, stating that they wer'
ready TO return to Honolulu, and re
auesfed that the men now being re
eruited be advised not to accept th
offer of Recruiting Agent Craig and hi
Ieutenants, but to remain at home.
