Stirred by what they declare is an
uncalled-for attack on the character
of their countrywomen, Japanese
residents OF Honolulu are preparing
to fight to the highest tribunal the
case of little Nobu Mitobe, a girl held
now at the FEDERAL immigration sta.
ton and denied admittance.
simultaneously they are preparing
to call a massmeeting to protest
against q statement attributed to I'm
migration Inspector Edwin Farmer,
who. in reviewing the case before the
special board of inquiry, is quoted as
making serious reflections on the
virtue of the Japanese woman.
The decision of the special board,
Ii was stated today,swas made yester.
day and a majority of the board of
three denied the girl admittance.
This was the third time admittance
was denied here, the case having been
twice reopened because of the special
interest taken in 1t by the Japanese
consul and others. The consul is one
of those who asked that the girl be
admitted.
The case promises to be a notable
one in immigration circles. The girl
is % years of age and has sister in
the territory. II was partly on account
of what he called the sisters bad char
pcter that Farmer declined to vote to
admit the girl

Territorial immigration Service
To Be Reorganized Immedi-
ately-Board Decides
Plan

Or. Victor S. Clark, territorial COM
missioner of immigration, has res. gn-
ed, and will leave the islands within
short time. He goes to Washing
ton to manage the department of i'm
dustrial history and economics at the
Carnegie institution.
Ralph A. kearns, secretary Of the
territorial board, becomes commits
sioner and secretary, succeeding DR..
Clark.
Raymond c. Brown, European
agent, will temporarily continue his
work in Europe, but II will be the
plan of the board to cut down the
European work in policy Of re-
trenchment.
These are the principal features of
a reorganization scheme decided upon
by the board of immigration at a
meeting held at 1870 this afternoon.
The board will carry out strict
policy of retrenchment and reduction
of expenses The reasons for this are
the cutting of the boards funds by the
last legislature and the somewhat un-
favorable outlook for European immi-
grant labor, and are dwelt upon more
in detail in an editorial contained in
the Star-Bulletin today
DR.. Clark himself has strongly ad-
vocated the reorganization plan as de-
cided upon today, and had already
suggested an outline of the plan to
Governor Frear. The governor, Com
missioner Clark and the members Of
the board felt that speedy steps must
be taken to reorganize the immigra-
tion work on a much smaller and less
expensive scale. Not only the ex-
penses of the boards activities here,
but In Europe as well will be reduced
under the new policy.
DR.. Clark came to Hawaii in charge
of the federal census work of 1910 in
which he made an exceptionally fine
record. He then returned to Washing
ton, but the territory, casting about
for an expert to handle its then rap
idly-growing immigration work, chose

SECRETARY WOOD SUGGESTS MANY
VERY DESIRABLE IMPROVEMENTS
Would Bring Military and Civilians in Closer Touch Through
Automobile Club and Would Have Municipal Amusement
Pier Erected at Waikiki Beach

The organization in Honolulu of a
new automobile club. the plans for
which have been submitted in the re-
port TO Chairman Fred l.. WaIdron
of the promotion committee, by III.
p. Wood, secretary Of that organiza-
tion, will be discussed at and will
form the principal item of business
of special meeting of the promotion
committee this afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock. On account of tomorrow be-
Ing Memorial Day, the meeting is be-
ing held today.
In referring to the organization OF
an automobile club, Secretary Wood
says in his report:
After talking over the matter with
an army officer, / would beg leave to
suggest that the committee recon-
mend the appointment of a special
committee to look into the formation
of new automobile club, the returns
from entrance fees which should be
say 500 to be applied to the building
OF a club house at some convenient
point near the army post at Leilehua.
Not only are the roads in excellent
condition between Honolulu and Lei
lehua, affording q delightful outing for
the motorist but by having an attract
i've club house where the army Off
GERS can readily meet the citizens of
Honolulu In q social way, will be
means Of bringing the army men and
the civilian closer together. sincere
~ trust that at the meeting a special
committee may be appointed to look
into this matter and report as to its
feasibility"
Another matter which Secretary
Wood has had in mind for some time
Is the building of an amusement pier
at Waikiki, well on the shore, at some
Joint where the bathing is not particu-
larly good. This would be municipal
undertaking and kept under the con-
troll of the board of supervisors. In.
order to regulate admission general
charge Of 10 cents for adults and 5
cents for children should be charged,
says the report. Additional income
could be provided from the amuse-
ments and other concessions sold.
Such q place, II properly built, well
lighted and carefully maintained,
would soon become very popular and
bring In favorable returns Another
matter which Il might be well to agi-
tate at this time, says Secretary Wood,
Is the creation Of tent city near the

And the woman, leaning against

He handed the sack lovingly

John Messner closed the door
softly behind him, and as he
started the dogs, looked back at
the cabin with great relief in
his face. At the bottom OF the
bank, besides the water-hole, he
halted the sled. He worked the
sack of gold out between the
lashings and carried 1t to the

he spat into the hole.
He started the dogs along the
