GRAFT FIGHTER
OF SEATTLE IS
VISITING HERE
Prosecuting Attorney John F.
Murphy Comes to Hawaii
for Needed Rest

John F. Murphy, prosecuting attor.
ney of King county, Washington, and
famous as one of the graft-fighters
who helped "clean up" Seattle two
years ago, is in Honolulu on a recrea-
tion trip. Several years of close ap-
plication to his office and court work
have tired him out and he has come
10 Hawaii with his family for COM
plete rest cf several weeks.
Murphy is a young man, but in
few years he has come to be one of
the best known citizens in public life
in the Northwest and his conduct in
office is such that his friends several
times have wished to run him for Con-
gress. He has declined to make the
race and probably at the conclusion
Of his present term of office will take
up private practice.
Murphy was prosecuting attorney at
the time when Hiram C. Gill, mayor,
was driven from office and Charles
w. Wappenstein, police chief, was
cent to Walla Walla penitentiary con-
Victed of graft. Under Gill and Wap-
penstein, gambling on a big scale had
begun in Seattle and the city was
about to be run vice open" Dr.. NJ.
A. Matthews, pa5to' Of the leading
Presbyterian church of the city and
himself a famous fightef against nlu-
picipal graft, Prosecuting Attorney
Murphy and other prominent citizens
went after the erriIg city officials
and got them" The Burns detective
agency was employed and in a short
time had secured discriminating evil
dence against WApIerstein and some
of his associates and criminal action
was begun.
Under the Seattle charter, the may
CT has almost absolute control over
the police administration and Mayor
Gill was held responsible for the short
eomings of his chief of police, Wap-
penstein. A recall election" vas
held; Gill was recalled from the eX-
ecutivG chair and 4 new mayor,
George W. DiIling, elected IN his
place. Seattle was CLEANED up in a
short time and has remained clean.
In all of this the young prosecuting
attorney took an active and successful
part.
Just now King county is much inter
ested in good roads and so is Prose
cutting Attorney Murphy, upon whose
office devolves the duty of handling
much Of the legal procedure for bond
issues and other methods Of financing
the building of roads. King couaty is
now doing a good deal with brick high
ways. I'VE are past the stage Of at
tempting to build roads of maCadam,
says Mr. Murphy.
Mrs. Murphy and their two children,
a boy of three and a girl of four
months, are with him. They are
guests of the Seaside Hotel. "

JAPANESE CONSUL
ASKED TO ASSIST
in ALIEN RULING
Initial Step Taken Toward Sc
curing Amendment of
immigration Law

AS the result of a decision reached
after several days of investigation on
,, the part of local Japanese interested
in the matter, Hachiro Arita, acting
! consul for Japan in the Hawaiian Isl
and, will be asked to communicate
with Ambassador Chinda at Washing.
ton, D. c., with view to having him
take steps toward securing recon
sideration of the ruling regarding dom
iciled aliens residing in the United
States, as handed down recently by
the supreme court. Together with
the matter of securing reconsidera-
tion, the ambassador will be requested
to investigate the feasibility of action
toward bringing about an amendment
to the immigration laws.
The local Japanese newspapers
have taken up the matter of the SUI
preme court ruling quite extensively
through the medium of editorial com-
ment, pointing out that the ruling has
aroused a question far more serious
than that which resulted from the pas
sage of the anti-alien land bill in Cali
fornia recently. The Hawaii HOChi
says:
The anti-alien land law passed re-
Gently in California will be observed
only in that state and will influence
only the Japanese and other foreign
residents of that state. But the recent
ruling of the supreme court with re-
gard to the returning alien residents
will eventually affect all foreign DOM
iciles in the United States who may
leave the country to visit their old
homes and then return again. Sup
pose the domiciles are excluded on
the ground of being afflicted with ira
choma or some other disease men,
toned in the statutes: this will cause
much trouble, especially when the per-
sons excluded are owners of property
in the United States. SO far as the
Japanese are concerned, they are TAX
ing the matter very seriously and
hope that by some way or another
an amendment or Halteration may be
made for the safety and protection of
the Japanese domiciles in the United
States. The Japanese of Honolulu in
tend taking the matter up with the
local consul and asking him to request
Ambassador Chinda to look into the
matter.

BEST FRIEND Of
big BUSINESS
a - IS
Party Lines Expected To Be
Drawn in Placing Anti
Trust Legislation
By C. S. ALBERT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-A great
furore involving all forms and degrees
Of antitrust legislation followed Pre-
sident Wilson's verbal message on the
subject, Fits of energy and bursts of
enthusiasm engulied all members Of
Congress, including the Republican
stand patters.' All seemed to agree
that something should be done to
supplement the Sherma~ act and
make get-rich monopolies and COM
binations have more trouble in col
@ecting their tribute. from the people.
This apparently unanimous feeling
made it appear at the outset that nom
partisan action might be expected
This will become less self-evident as
time passes and the lines are more
closely drawn.
1t is more than an even bet that in
the end the various antitrust bill
will be made party measures through
the holding Of Democratic caucuses
and all the credit for putting the new
legislation on the statute books will
be taken by the majority party. This
proved true of the tariff and currency
bills. Past experience has demon
strated that it is easy TO talk about
nonpartisan legislation but difficult to
enact it.
Big Business is fairly we'll reconcil-
ed to the proposed legislation, both as
recommended by the President, and
set forth in the bills introduced to
carry out his suggestions. Whatever
opposition develops will come when
hearings are held on the points at
issue Captains Of Industry and
economists Of all grades will appear
before the Senate and House CON-
mittees, speaking for and against the
pending measures. An opportunity will
be then afforded for Big Business to
register its protest and start a fight
to have notifications made in both
branches of Congress. No indication
has yet been given as to how far
animosity may be aroused and carried
In any event opposition is certain to
prove futile.
The chief friend of Big Business Up
to this time is the President himself.
He has plainly spoken and declared
that no attempt will be made to have
any retroactive features adopted, such
as squeezing the water from stock al

DIVISION OF LOSS
Hawaiian Dredging Co. Hard
Hit and Compromise Would
Be Quite Popular

That the contractors may after nll
be relieved of a large part of the
financial responsibility for the drydock
disaster, is the word that has reached
Hawaii through unofficial channels. II
is stated on good authority that the
specifications for construction of the
big ship basin are to be slightly
changed, in which event the contrae,
tors will not face nearly the loss that
now confronts them. In any case, the
aging up of work for a year, and the
destruction of expensive machinery,
will be heavy financial drain on the
Hawaiian Dredging Co.,, So that a
sharing of the financial responsibility
by the government would be in the
line of equity.
Although word of this compromise
comes direct from Washington, Meth.
er the officers OF the Hawaiian Dredg-
ing Co. here, nor the navy authorities
have received any positive informa-
ton as to future plans.
I'VE have heard nothing further
than the word to go right ahead ac-

Much interest throughout the terri

for next week beginning with the

annual meetings in March, and the
dates for these have not yet been de-
termined upon. A number OF others
also hold March meetings. r
The reports of the, managers OF the
various plantations this year are not
generally expected to be as pleasing
as they were the. year before and for
1911. Short crops are reported from
a large number Of properties, due to
the almost unprecedented dry weather
of the past two years, and this with
the very low sugar prices which ruled
last year will not he apt to make

that point and the rise to get
over the track pretty steep.

the speed of the car was checked

sas wide bank about 300 yards
away and running ten thousand

been on the track, something

might be of interest to the per-

statement is true, TO say that
they can be sure of getting some
good money or fame by proving
this statement. The National
Egg-Laying Contests at Noun
tain Grove showed that the first
contest produced a White Plym-
