Japanese Bird
Pirates Busy?
News Reaches Honolulu OF
Thirteen Men and Schooner
On Cruise

Japanese bird-poachers are again at
work in the westward islands, accord
ing to news that has reached Honolulu
by queer route. The news is in the
form of a postal card sent to Captain
Max Schlemmer, king of Laysan," by
d. B. Grieg of Tanning Island. The
card was mailed weeks ago. bu. it was
received only recently.
Grieg tells of q British man f-war
descending suddenly upon Christmas
Island and finding there thirteen Jap
anese, who had apparently settled there
and intended to stay. They were warn
ed to leave by the British boat. and
now are trying to settle on flaming
Island. The Japanese landed from a
schooner.
Captain Schlemmer has also received
a letter from Emanuel Rouger, the
Frenchman who owns Tanning Island.
Rouger tells also of the Japanese on
Christmas Island and asks Captain
Schemmer to give him advice as to
whether 1t is wise to allow the Orien-
tails to come to his island.
Ship Probably Algerine.
Christmas Island is uninhabited or

WAR With JAPAN AS seen IN
newspapers OF MAINLAND;
Wide Divergence OF Opinion

War with Japan is coming, II the
news reports and editorial utterances
of a number of Coast papers are taken
as authoritative. On the other hand,
other newspapers Gidicule the "yellow
peril" idea as fantastic, not to say
criminally dangerous when given the
weight of newspaper endorsement.
The following are extracts from a
number of papers. Both the San
Francisco Call and the San Francisco
Examiner see Japanese cloud on the
Horizon, with Hawaii likely to be de-
luged, and the San Francisco Exam
iner is particular emphatic in its an
nouncement of a coming conflict. The
conservative Chronicle takes the other
attitude.

lilies Said to Be Poor,

A mob of hungry poi-seekers be-
came so enraged last Sunday morn
ing because Sam Luahine, foreman
at the Kalihi Poi Factory, was not
waiting on them fast enough to suit
their needs, that Luahine was as
saulted by member of the crowd
and so badly hurt that he has not been
able to work. The man who made
the assault is unknown. but search
is being made for him.
This is the outcome cf the Board Of
Health's ban on the Hawaiian staple
enforced since early In the outbreak
of cholera. Each day the crowd cf
Hawaiians who apply at the Kalihi
factory the only one running, for poi
has grown in numbers, and some of
them tell stories of deprivation and
hunger
The Hawaiians who witnessed the
assault last Sunday morning say that
the assailant has a wife and several
children, and that they have been
practically starving. The children re-
fused to eat rice, and the trouble
made the man desperate, SO that
when he had to wait at the factory,
he became frantic and the beating Of
the foreman was the result.

heard among the Hawaiians. Many
of them have been shut out entirely
from eating their staple food. Others
w no have been fortunate enough to
have sufficient means to get their poi.
are also crying for the eliminations
of the health restrictions. 1t is pretty
certain that the poi is getting scarcer

ticularly the women, have been COM

PORTUGAL SENDS
ACENSUS ORDER
Consul Instructed to Count
Subjects of Republic
In Hawaii.

Orders have been received by A. de
Souza Canavarro, Portuguese Consul
here, from the new Republic of Por-
tugal to begin special census of
Portuguese subjects in the entire Ter
ritory, and the work of counting will
shortly be started 1t is to be iin-
ished within about ninety days, and
forwarded to the home government.
1t is believed that this is a part
of a worldwide census undertaken
by the authorities of the newly Gre
ated Republic, to get some idea of
the numbers of the scattered subjects
as well as to find out the inroads
made upon them since the revolution.
Thousands of Portuguese are residents

inc, which was in this port for a short
while a few days ago. However, there
was no such information given out
when the Algerine arrived herein
fact it was apparently kept silent
and Schlemmer's letter seems to show
that the Algerine simply gave the
Japanese hunters a quiet tip to get out,
and now they are trying to do it.
This news proves what l have al
ways maintained, that there are Jap
anese hunters and fishermen all over
the sea islands," says Captain Schlem-
mer. 1T shows that they have landed
on Christmas Island, and to me 1t
seems certain that there are now Jap

The Crinoline Once More.

Has the whirligig of time brought
back the crinoline? Gowns with crino-
lines, we read, are to be seen in the
show windows of several leading dress
makers in London. Is the fashion going
to remain, or is it to have brief noto-
riety. like the harem skirt?
On this point those who ought to
speak with authority are discreetly
silent The feminine world is not 50
amenable nowadays to the imperious de-
crees OF fashion as was once the case,
Hence, we have to record a certain
oracular vagueness in the utterances OF
the fashion prophets. While one de-
clares that the crinoline real, full
blown ARTICLES soon to be with us, an
other forecasts more cautiously that
skirts, of course, will be wider and
with a good deal more fare at the foot. .
There is nothing really startling in this
effort TO revive the crinoline For some
time, in all but the fullness of the skirt.
there has been steady return to fash
ions generally known as the early Vic
torian.' The tippit, the mantelet, the
fiat ruches, the fringes and tassels, all
are beginning to appear again on the
boulevards of Paris, and although the
flounce has not yet returned in an openly
frilly form, similar effect can be OBJ
tanned by means of the present-day triple
skirt. Little quaint silk jackets, of a
different color to that of the skirt, have
been worn for some time in London.
Checked dress patterns, that used to be
condemned as hideous, have been re-
vived. Even the old-fashioned pointed
bodice is said to be coming again into
its own at fashionable dress displays.
Of course, the present-day crinoline
is very modest and modified affair
1t will be welcomed by manufacturers of
dress goods for ladies wear, their OBJ
lection to narrow skirts being the mini
mum of material which they required

Georgia's Good Example.

The Georgia State board Of health is
manufacturing typhoid vaccine for free
distribution to physicians. The efficacy
of this preventive of the dread disease
was tested in the British army dur
ing the South African war, but in a
more recent test in the United States
army camps during the maneuvers faith
has been converted into fact.
The virtue of the typhoid virus is ad-
mitted by medical science to be as GER
tain as that of the vaccine used in try
ing to prevent smallpox. The Georgia
example should be followed by other

The Juvenile Court.

The recommendation in the annual re-
port of Judge w. H. De Lacy, of the
Juvenile Court, that money be appropri-
ated for new buildings for the court
and the House of Detention should re-
ceive favorable consideration.
The record of the accomplishments OF
the District Juvenile Court is an excel
lent one The court has been brought
into national prominence through the
wise, able, and kindly manner in which
Judge De Lacy has handled the thou
sands of cases which come before him
each year. The court has also come to
be an indispensable correctional factor
in dealing with the youth of the com-
munity and with the parents of some of
the children. Its influence has been of
the highest order, and thousands of
Washington parents have much for
which to return thanks to the Juvenile
Court.
The quarters in which the court is
housed are inadequate and undignihed
Judge De Lacy does not urge these rea-
sons, however. He points out that the
humanitarian efforts of the court in its
work in behalf of delinquent children
and their parents is impeded and re-
tarded by the present insufficient space.
A court of the value to the community
of the Juvenile Court should be given
every convenience and facility.

$50 years ago, compelled the closing Of
the port and the transfer of. its trade
to Mogador, commerce naturally de-
clined. 1t still presents, however, great
possibilities. which have not escaped
German vigilance. If the German gov
ernment can permanently maintain the
foothold which it has forcibly obtained
in Agadir, the probability is that the
port will be restored to more than its
ancient importance and value.
The industries of Morocco have
steadily declined. Silks, woolens, and
embroideries are no longer extensively
produced, and even the making of slip
pers and carpets, though the chief bust
ness, is decreasing. Morocco leather,
famous on account of the softness of its
texture, is not as valuable as formerly,
because artificial dyes have been substi-
tuted for the secret vegetable ingredients
used in the past. 1t is evident, however,
that the European nations believe that
this downward tendency can be checked
and a large trade developed, because
England has created the post of COM
mercial attache to its legation, and
France and Germany have an active
army of scientific and commercial men
periodically visiting the country for the
purpose of study and report. Spain has
created a chamber of commerce in
Tangier.
These facts show why the contest for
the possession of Morocco is now at
tracing not only the attention of Eu-
rope, but of all the world, and explains
why the Agadir episode has stirred the
European capitals with an interest which,
without the knowledge herein afforded,
was somewhat difficult to understand
