JAPANESE IS
HERALDED AS
SECOND CHRIST
Ugaku Hamaguchi Reported to
Have Worked Several
Marvellous Cures

Reports OF sensational cures made
here within the past three days by
Ugaku Hamaguchi, heralded by many
Japanese as a second Christ, have
wrought thousands of local Japanese
to high pitch of excitement and as
result, there are daily gatherings
at the Mochitsuki club of a remark
able character, likened by an observ-
er this morning to the gathering nine
teen hundred years ago when young
man from Nazareth performed mir
acles by the laying on of hands.
The use of hypnotism, mesmerism
even. stranger and more effective
powers learned from the occult East
are some of the methods attributed
to the man whose arrival on the liner
Persia last Tuesday and subsequent
actions have stirred the Japanese
community so deeply. Daily demon
strations of the mans powers have

not quieted the excitement nor ex-
posed the man as a fakir or merely
a clever hypnotist and sleight-of-hand
performer. On the contrary, the DEM
onstration this morning a.; the club
house on Kalia road. was attended by
several hundred Japanese, and 26o
were treated in four hours.
Such wonderful feats as straighten-
ing crooked teeth by a few mystic
passes of the hand, driving disfigur-
ing blotches from the face, curing
rheumatism, driving delusions from
the brain of the mentally-unbalanced,
are attributed to Hamaguchi since
his arrival in Honolulu. Men who
this morning saw the Japanese pa
tients undergo treatment confessed
themselves astounded and perpleXed.
Under Another's License.
Hamagucfi arrived on the Persia
accompanied by his wife, who acts
as his translator, and DIR. Uyemura, a
Honolulu physician who returned af-
ter an absence in Japan. 1t is under
Uyemuras license that Hamaguchf
is now carrying on his treatment, ac-
cording to statements made today.
Hamaguchi is famous man in his
own country. There his ability, of
whatever nature it may be, has won
him the name of ''the second Osha-
kasama' ma'-Oshakasama being the high
est priest of Buddhism. He has prac-
ticed his occult profession for years,
and it is told that he has been ar
rested as a fakir several hundred
times but has never been convicted
of crime or misdemeanor. The ia
panese say that for many years he has
been going about over Japan perform
ing the same kind of miracles there
that are credited to him here.
"CIinics" Held Daily.
Hamaguchi has been holding "clin-
ics' at the Mocbitsuh club each
morning since his arrival. This morn
ing, say witnesses, he repeated feats
The report of which has SO stirred up
the Japanese community.
His methods are peculiar. In the
center of the large room where the
demonstration was held was a bowl

LEVERS AND COOKE
MAKE ADDITION TO
ENTERPRISING STORE

In line with the enterprise which
has marked the growth of the firm
of Levers & Cooke, new depart
ment of hardware has just been es-
ta6lished A complete stock of tools
is now in the store, which brings to
a successful completion a plan long
contemplated by the firm.
Two additional shipments of tools.
and other lines of hardware will
reach here soon for the new depart
ment. Additional space has been ac-
quired by the company by obtaining
the store room adjacent to them. 1t
has now been thoroughly remodeled.
1t would almost be impossible to
give a list of the different kinds OF
tools now in stock at the store, and il
is probably enough to say that every.
thing from nail to a pump is to be
had there.
The opening of the new department
is made simultaneous with the arriva
of Robert Levers from the mainland
this morning on the Mongolia. He
was greatly pleased with the enter
prise shown by the store in opening
such an up-to-date department.

Alleged to have received i'll treat
ment at the hands of the skipper and
the mate, which necessitated their
leaving the vessel shortly after its ar
rival at pert, nine seamen of the ship
Edward F. Sewall. now loading at Ka-
hului, filed Il protest in the office of
the shipping commissioner this morn
ing asking that aid be given them in
recovering their wages.
The Sewall arrived off Kahului last
Saturday from San Francisco, and is
claimed by the skipper to have been
manned by a green crew AS the re-
suit of their ignorance of seamanship,
II is said, the ship went on the reef
near the entrance OF the harbor, where
she remained for twenty-fonr hours
before being refloated by the aid of
tugs. According to the story told by
Captain Quick, he ordered sail to be
shortened when the vessel was eight
cen miles eff the harbor. and when he
found that his crew was unable to
perform this duty, he ordered the an
chor out. A strong breeze was blow
ing at the time and the lightly-laden
vessel settled fast on the coral The
vessel was taken off with no damage
done.
| The shippers story of the ground
ing of the vessel is absolutely refuted
by members of the crew now in Ho-
nolulu, who claim that they are not
green hands but experienced seamen
as set forth in the protest filed this
morning. Their story of the accident

MRS. HAROLD FULLER TELLS
OF SUFFERING IN THE
STRICKEN DISTRICT

Flood, fire, death in the wake of
destruction, telegraph lines swept
away, railroad bridges down for miles
in every direction, tracks torn from
the roadbed and washed away by the
irresistible waters, these and a few
others are some of the obstacles over
come by Mrs. Harold H Fuller of
Honolulu, formerly Miss Violet Latter
of Saint Paris, Ohio, who arrived in
,ttis city &c short time ago to become
the bride of First Sergeant Harold
H. Fuller of the Fourth U. S. Cav
airy.
In the very center of the district
devastated by the floods, Mrs. Fuller
waited only until she was assured
that the home of her father was safe
from destruction and then, in spite
of the pleadings of friends and rela-
tiyes, took the first train that left
Saint Paris sand, creeping along miles
of damaged track and tottering
trestles, arriving at indianapolis, In
diana, several days behind the sched-
uled time. OF the terrible sights seen

rescued and the tears of those who

JAPANESE VOTE
Plan CHECKED
BY SOCIETY

Declaring that Hawaii ought to
lead in a movement to extend to Jap
anese the right to vote, Dr. Doremus
Scudder, pastor of Central Union
church, last night offered a motion, at
a meeting of the Japanese-American
Society of Hawaii, that the executive
committee of the society be instructed
10 draw up resolutions embodying his
idea and send the resolutions to the
proper authorities.
The motion was not carried, imme.
diate action being blocked by another
motion which referred the matter to
the executive committee with power
to act. Today it was stated that
here is little chance of the idea being
favored by the committee.
DR.. Scudder made a strong talk,
telling those gathered at the library
CT Hawaii, where the meeting was
Leld. that Hawaii should be at the
head, not at the foot of the move
ment to enfranehise the Japanese. The
society last night discussed informal,
ly the California alien land ownership
bill and decided to combat the anti
Japanese sentiment in diplomatic
way, to carry on a campaign of edu-
cation and to do everything possible
in the way of promoting better under
standing between the people of the
Occident and the people of the
Orient.

clerk, who prided himself on mis- ex-

to greet the distinguished visitor.

lighted to welcome you to our little
iowa. Turping to- the desk he shout
ed: a room with bath for the gov
ernor"
The governor leaned over and
whispered in the clerks ear. The
expression on the clerks face turned
to one of intense disappointment,
he turned again to the man at the
desk and called louder than before

Work and Play.

The school children of Plainfeld,
N. j.. are to receive regular instruc-
ton in milking cows, raising poul-
try and cultivating vegetables. AS
much enthusiastic interest and rival
~ in these useful forms as is now
found in baseball, for example, can
scarcely be expected, but some of the
school children may thus acquire in
dustrious habits and all of them will
be provided with wholesome outdoor
exercise. 1t is probable, however,
owing to the influence of the chill
dren on the parents and of the pa
rents on the school management,
that this interesting experiment will
not live long enough for a fair test
of it's merits.
What may be called the natural
law of normal adult life is useful
service, but the natural law of nor
NAL child life is mimic service or
play. The Macon Telegraph is of
the opinion that the average school
child that faithfully prepares its
lessons and learns to play fair,
while delighting to play hard, has
done about all that can be reasona-
bly, expected except upon occasion.
The number of North Plainfield
school children that learn to milk a
cow-without offending the COW
will probably not be large. Instruc-
ton in the lines proposed may be
useful, however, provided the con-
tinued performance of onerous tasks
is not required.
