Hand to Hand Fighting,
Podgoritza, Montenegro, Feb. 10
The Montenegrin army bcsieging the
Turkish fortress of Scutari carried the
great Bardanjoli hill by assault at half
past 10 this morning after several
hours of severe fighting.
The infantry came to such close
quarters that hand-tO- hand fighting
was general along the line. Bardanjoli
hill dominates Scutari from the east
ern side and the Montenegrins are
mounting siege guns on the heights
to lombard the principal points of the
city.
Fighting has gone on since early
morning all around the city. The

BRECKONS LOOKS
1o !o RECOVER
BIG sum

The territory expects to recover the
full amount on all the illegal warrants
which Auditor Charles Mcguire is
charged with having issued during his
period of service for Hawaii county.
Special Prosecutor r. w Breckons,
conducting the work for the Investi-
CATION commission. who returned to
Honolulu this morning, intends to
prove the illegality of warrants reach
ing total of approximately $4,000,
or virtually the. entire amount with
which Mcguire was originally accused
OF making away.
Breckons brought back mass of
data and held lengthy interview
with Attorney General Thayer, an
nouncing later that he expects to re-
turn to Hilo on the Wilhelmina to-
morrow TO continue his probe.
Though both he and the attorney
general discussed freely the details of
the affair and the plans for proceed
ire. they stated their remarks We're
not for publication.
obviously it would be unpolitic TO
disclose our plans TO the opposition,
commented Thayer.
With a painstaking ear iii which he
seens TO delight, Breckons has been
learning the personal history of each
OF the questionable warrants issued
by the accused auditor These are
numbered by the hundreds Whether
indictments are TO be returned against
other public officials of Hawaii coun-
~ Breckons declined to say, though
he intimated that one such might be
anticipated shortly.
From his discussion of the matter
il appears that the point upon which
viii devolve both the prosecutions for
ralfeasance and embezzlement and
the civil suits to recover moneys paid
on The illegal warrants. is the law
requiring all warrants issued by the
auditor to be authorized by the board
of supervisors.

AT FAIR
Commissioner Taylor States
That Additional Sum May Be
Appropriated Later

Frederic w Taylor, head of the
agriculture bureau and director OF
the fair commission of the Philip
pines, arrived in Honolulu yesterday
on the Korea, enroute to San Fran
cisco, where he will make arrange
ments for space needed by the Philip
pine Islands for an exhibit at the
PanamaPacific exposition in 1915.
Taylor spent the morning in con-
ference with Secretary Wood of the
promotion committee He is very en-
thusias.ic over the prospects of the
coming world fair and spoke in the
highest terms of the support which
the people of the Philippines have
given the fair commission The leg
islature has already appropriated
s250,0G0 for the exhibit and has prom
ised to set aside another amount at
the session in August The commits
sion has on every hand been assured
of having plenty of money, and the
exhibit in 1915 promises to be the
best which the Islands have thus far
attempted.
Besides having a handsome build
ing said Taylor, I'VE are planning
to place exhibits in the agriculture,
forestry and other buildings. In the
forestry building there will be an
exhibit of Towering plants, including
number OF specimens of the orchid
of which the islands boast. | do not
believe that our educational exhibit
will be excelled by any other, and
we plan 10 make this one of our
strong points. Our idea is to get
away from the brass band-Igorote"
style of show, and to demonstrate
in many different ways how a man
may come to the Philippines and
make living on very small capt.

Taylor departed on the Korea and
will remain in San Francisco for
some time. On the return trip he
plans to spend month in Hawaii.
He has been widely connected with
the worlds fairs, having been chief
of the agriculture department at the
Omaha exposition in 1898, and at the
Buffalo exposition in 1901. He held
The same position atethe st. Louis fair
in, 1904 and remembers having
handled the Hawaii exhibit which was
sent to the Buffalo fair under the di-
rection of Robert Shingle.

DEMOCRATS MAY come TO RESCUE
Of SUGAR and WOOL TARIFF men
Ray of Hone Comes as Surprise When Bourbon Senator
Hard Pressed by Constituents Approaches Senator Smoo

Obnoxious Underwood Wilson Measure

give the opponents of free sugar 49
votes, or sufficient to block the pro-
posed free list plan.
1t is said the Progressive Republic
cans have been polled and not one
of them will support the free sugar
schedule All of them agree to act in
harmony if the Regulars join them
and seek to make a winning fight
with the aid of four Democrats.
If the coalition should be formed
the plan would be to offer an amend
ment eliminating the provision that
three years hence sugar shall be
placed on the free list. The reduction
to one cent pound, or a cut of ap-
proXimately 20 per cent, would stand
as placed in the Underwood bill 1t
is fully realized that the Progressive
Republicans will insist on reduction
to that extent They do not care to
so beyond the point indicated.
The entire success of the negotia-
tionS now progressing must depend
on the action of such Democrats as
are opposed to free sugar. If they
agree TO faithfully cooperate with
the Republicans the free sugar and
free wool features can be eliminated.
Otherwise, the Republicans are
powerless to accomplish any results,
even with the assistance of the two
senator's from Louisiana.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May q
A possibility has arisen that the
sugar industry of Hawaii may yet be
saved from ruin through revision of
the tariff bill A fighting chance ex-
lists that four sugar and wool Demo
Gratis may be found to cooperate with
the Republicans and prevent the plac-
ing of sugar and wool on the free
lists
The little ray of hope came unex-
pectedly and created much surprise
because many of the leaders had re
signed themselves to the inevitable. A
Democratic senator who favors pro-
lection for sugar went to Senator
Smoot and asked him if nothing could
be done to defeat the free sugar
proposition.
GO and get one other Democrat to
act with us and it can be DONE" re-
piled Smoot
The Democrat approaching Smoot
on the subject was either Thompson,
of Kansas, or Walsh, of Montana.
Both are hard pressed by their con-
stituents and will be ruined POLITICAL
ly if they vote for the tariff bill as
passed by the house These two
Democrats. with Senators Thornton
and Ransdell of Louisiana, would

HILO, Hawaii, May 12.-But for an
unforeseen delay in transportation, a
unique and impressive ceremony typi-
flying the respect with which the old
Hawaiian regime is regarded. by the

before the sailing from Honolulu of

for the first time in five years. Com
pany c, Second Infantry. travelled to
Hilo on the same boat, bound on a

mark of respect and to honor Hawaiis
former queen, the men who wear the
olive drab of Uncle Sam were formed
on the dock, ready to present arms as
the last independent ruler of the Ha-
waiian islands crossed the gangplank
But it takes several minutes for six
ty.two ''doughboys" to embark in
full field equipment, and the time
came when the captain of the COM
pany was compelled to order his COM
mand aboard Her Majesty was late
in reaching the dock, and the chance
to do her ceremonial honor on the oc-
casion of her. first trip away from
home in several years, was regretfully
foregone by all concerned. Queen Lii
huokalani knew nothing of the pro-
posed salute, but later, through Col
Iaukea, expressed her thanks and her
regrets.
The queen was on deck during the
greater part of an exceptionally
smooth trip from Honolulu to the
principal port of the Big Island, and
seemed to be in the best of health and
spirits. She was first on deck among
the passengers Sunday morning and
the years seemed to fall away as she
again sighted the shores of the largest
unit of her island kingdom.

evidently out for trip that will long

HEALER CALLED
WRETCHED FAKER

While the numoer OF Japanese fol-
lowers of Ugaku Hamaguchi, the self
admitted second Christ has not d.
minished, and were to be seen this
morning in scores at the Kawasakb
Hotel, several business and proves
sional men of this city, after watch
ing his supposed manifestations Of
occult powers, denounced him today
as fraud and fakir, preying on the
ignorance and purse of his country
men.
Chief of Detectives McDuffie, DR..
A. N. Sinclair and E. NJ Cheatham
we're among the spectators at Kawa-
saki this morning, who watched the
man who says he halls direct from
Buddha, attempting to perform mirac-
ulous cures. A number of the pa
tients this morning were suffering
from rheumatism, and after they had
endured the mystic passes Of Bud
dha, Jr., they limped away, still
swearing by their crutches and
UgakH.
Mr.. Cheatham declared the Jap to
be wretched faker, and asserted
that he should be arrested to the end
that ignorant Nipponese would be
protected against his fraud Others
expressed somewhat similar opin-
ion; but the Japanese visitor at the
hotel still seem to cling to their faith
in the healer"
Said Mr. Cheatham
From what | saw OF the mysteri-
Gus passes and spoken words, | cer-
tainly think that Chapter 1917, the
law against kahunaism, could be ap-
piled to this case. The chapter pro-
vides penalty Of fine from S10O
to 5000 or Imprisonment at hard labor
up to six months. A little touch OF the
latter would cause this healer to think
twice before continuing his practice"

Il criticize the Californians for try
ing to pass law. condemning the
lands of Japanese and prohibiting Jap
anese from further participancy in the
ownership or even leasing OF CaIifor-
mia lands 1t is unjust | am not
afraid to say So Such a measure is
unjust Ii is as if doctor ordered
the sudden removal from hospital
Of a patient who is just convalescing
from a serious ailment The patient,
on account of the abrupt change would
die. This measure will prove the
death of japanese interests in the
Western states The Japanese have
leased lands, they have titled the soil
and brought forth abundance and as a
result they have been enabled to buy
these lands outright. Now comes this
law. saying they must give up all
lands, crops. wealth, everything. Ii is
unjust, gentlemen And | am not
afraid To say SO.
The Situation Reversed.
Suppose Japan were to enact such
4 law against the American residents
in Japan What would these Amerl-
cans do? ] ask you that. They would
not remain still or quiescent They
would object strenuously and forcibly,
they would object. We ire taking that
same step today
Americans claim that the ineIigi-
bility of the Japanese TO the rights OF
citizenship in the United States rem
ders them without title to own and
hold California lands. Why discrimi-
nate at all? Why should they look
down in this manner upon Japanese?
Why select the Japanese for the ex
ample out of all that mass, that vast
hodge-podge of non-citiZens? For there
are other aliens than Japanese in Cali
fornia. The Japanese have proven
themselves honest and Industrious and
thrifty That is why they have come
to own lands. / feel that it is not a
detriment but profit and gain to the
United States to allow such immi-
grants within their boundaries, rather
than the scum and purlieus and on
scourings of all the slums and by ways
Of Europe.
Refets totFseaty.
= The claim has been made that the
present action of the California legis-
lature is a thing entirely apart and
separate from the wishes and good in
tentions of the federal government at
Washington. The independent sover-.
eighty of states has been drummed
and dinned into my ears. But this
much | do know. The federal govern
ment at Washington made a certain
treaty and set of promises with our
country. We feel bound by the sec.
tions and clauses and acts and prom
ises of that treaty The Washington
government is in duty bound to feel
in a similar manner toward US. it is
but the fulfillment of its written prom
ises and solemn pledges to see that
no state under its dominance enacts
any manner of legislation which is
contrary or abrogative to single sec
tion of that treaty.

My Dear Senator Works: May
add a few words to the letter which
/ sent you in regard to the sugar
tariff? Mr.. Roosevelt said to me in
Washington in 1903, Il am absolutely

it Lecame American territory. You
must remember that in dealing with

We have in Hawaii some 10000

If the sugar industry here is ruined
by the serious reduction or abolition
OF the tariff. these islands Will be
given over 10 the Japanese. With a
Japanese manager on a sugar planta-
tion instead of white man, with
Japanese engineers, blacksmiths,
sugar boilers, oveTseers, etc, and by
cutting the wages Of workers in two,
sugar might be grown On certain
plantations at a small profit But the
white people would have to go else
where Tie United States government
has insisted that the island policy
should be to get Europeans. The
planters have spent enormous sums
TO carry out this policy; free sugar

The dignity of the country which
cannot compass peace at the cost OF
its pride, which will not follow the
biblical precept and allow both
cheeks 20 be smitted without retalia-
ton, yet one which greatly apprizes
harmony between nations, whenever
possible, was discussed last night by
Ayeo Hattori, one of the two special
agents of Japan who arrived here on
the Korea yesterday evening, on his
way TO Sacramento to importune
Governor Hiram Johnson to refuse to
sign the bill which would make il i'm
possible for Japanese to become
property holders in California.
Now out on the Pacific, few miles
nearer his destination, Hattori is
speeding On the Korea, accompanied
by Soroku Ehara, his fellow agent,
who has grown gray in the diplomatic
service OF his country. While the
two representatives of their country
are thus travelling on to the scene of
the anti-alien land law agitation, his
countrymen here are reviewing the
message of Hattori, and especially the
import OF his last words:
Sometime. il must follow that we
strike back"
At the banquet which was given
them in the assembly hall of the
Japanese Nuuanu street school last
evening, after small reception had
been rendered them by Theodore
Richards. Hattori spoke, and in his
words there was the ring of peace
with occasionally q deeper intonation
when the immInence of dissension
was covertly touched upon, as when
he said:
1T is anger and mad passion, and
man strikes back. 1t is thus with us.
We cannot allow ourselves to be smit-
ten on both cheeks all the time.
Sometime 1t must follow that We
strike back"
But the sense of his speech was one
of goodwill. A deep trust in the
fairness and wisdom of President
Wilson he attributed to himself, and
faith that the United States will not
allow section of the treaty to be
abrogated by permitting a stpte to
legislate contrary to the provisions
OF that compact. -. ss.ss a
May Appeaisto Wilson.
This morning the two agents re-
ceived a few countrymen friends in
private before sailing on the Korea.
They will proceed direct to Sacramen-
10. and If their efforts to have the
alien-land law bill killed are unsuc-
eessful they will probably hurry to
Washington to take other steps to
annul the effect of the proposed law.
Hattori's speech was delivered to
more than thousand of his coun-
trymen. The chairman of the meet
ing, all of which was conducted in
Japanese, was DR.. l. Nori, local
leader. K. Ebuka and Soroku Ebara,
both prominent in Japanese affairs,
were the other speakers. Consul
General Eitaki brought the meeting
TO close with a few words of god
speed to the visitors.
The following are excerpts from the
address of Hattori:
