Desha said that the feeling in Olaa
was favorable towards the corpora

manager but that the small planters
wanted the 1908 contract restored.
The minister told the committee that
his Japanese came to him when the
change in management Of Olaa was
made and said:
Goodbye pilikia, new big boss OF
Olaa. By'mbye old contract again.
Desha said he made $410 from a
tract of about eight acres on the first
crop and 1857 on the second crop

his share amounted to was 1918. 1t

DETAILED STATEMENT FOR, AND
SHARP ATTACKS AGAINST, OLAA

art, read by A. w. T. Bottomley
treasurer OF the company and alst
identified with Bishop & Company, thu
Olaa agents. This statement and some
verbal explanations made by Mr. Bot
tomley, together with some further
memoranda which he read and elabo
rated upon somewhat, visibly impress
=, ed the committee.
Manager Eckart's statement dealt
largely in figures to prove that the
1913 contract, which, as has been pub
lished in accounts Of previous hear
ings, has supplanted the 1905 and
other contracts, is not unfair to the
small cane planter. He particularly
emphasized the point that when the
prices of sugar are low, the small
planter is better taken care of under
the 1918 contract than under the 1905
contract, though it was frankly stated
last night that when prices are high,
the plantation gets the lions share OF
the profits.
Manager Eckart also said in. his
statement that he was confident the
majority of the small planters were
satisfied with their terms.
This point was referred to specifical'
ly later in the hearing when Repre-.
sentative Fassoth asked Senator
Desha what the general feeling is
among the small planters of the Olaa
district regarding the situation? After
some difficulty in getting the question
stated. Senator Desha said in effect
that the Olaa planters like Manager
Eckart very much-that hes a gen.
tleman"-but that they like the 1905
contract better than the 1913 contract.
Tom Cooke told me to go to the
Bishop bank" said the senator, when
the Japanese said he had to have
money to pay the laborers. Cooke
said the Bishop bank was the agent
for Olaa and that it would make them

them. So went to the Bishop bank
/ got 5000 for a year, paying $50 in

When the year was up my crop

tension of my note for another month.

asked why. He said, Your brother is
county auditor and he doesn't put his
money in our bank told him | was
not my brothers boss. 4. Then he said
my church didn't put its money in
their bank. | told him was only min
lister and that the trustees had charge
of the money. But / had to borrow
again to pay the note just the same. "
Desha's complaint against Watt was
given in detail. Watt sat near Desha
and listened to the senator's testimony
attentively> Desha said that Watt was
known as The Big Boss of Olaa" and
again as the car Of Olaa" Desha
told about trouble with Watt while
the minister was a member of the
board Of SUPERVISORS on the Big Island.
Watt tried to run the county, too"
Desha went on. One time one of my
oVerseers was working On the county
road and Watt came up to him and
told him where and how to do the
county work. The overseer came to
mo and complained. | got angry and
told the overseer to tell Watt to mind
his own business.

The very homes that sheltered the poor priests Of even the country districts are now to be taken from them by decree Clergymen are declared incapable of holding property in Morelia, and this not because clergymen are rich, but because it is the settled intention oi the revolutionists to driv God out Of Mexico.
 This is hot a Catholic question and the interests of the Catholic church are not alone a stake It is a ques- ,ion that concerns the fundamental principles of democracy. which Pres ilent Wilson is bound to uphold, as the head of the greatest democracy in the world. 1T religious liberty falls for Catholics. it falls for Protestans If God is not going 10 be admitted iu- to Mexico, what about the missions established by Protestant churches with the expenditure of enormous amounts of money?

If he does not care to SO enlighten the pub. lie, perhaps the public will be en frightened later on As said in my cablegram from Rome to the Ch.ca go Tribune, this is not a question of persons; it is a question of princi ples" The Church can live under Carranza or anybody else and when g lawful government is set up in Mexico. it is the duty of the Church following it's principles; to live un der it; but the unfortunate people who believe in God in Mexico, have a right to religious liberty That right has been denied them, and is being denied them by the de facto govern ment supported by the president Of the United States.
 The statement by Father Tierney along the same lines, is as follows; A reply to MT Tumulty= letter will appear in the next issue of America the National Catholic Weekly o which l am editor For the prescn

 outrages were committed; Mir Tu- multy's evidence leaves this certitude untouched He gave one item of pos itive testimony to the effect that Sis ters were not outraged within the Archbishopric of Mexico City. But tu wha tavail? Nobody said they were. Besides, the course of Mir. Tumulty's evidence is vitiated.
 The second point under discussion concerns the treatment of priests
 The testimony of Canon Paredes, vi- Icargeneral of Mexico City. is adduced by Mir Tumulty In the first place
 Monslgnor Paredes is not a compe-
 tent witness He is a Carranzista holding office from Carranza. and by
 the sufferance of the Ordinary of
 Mexico City who confirmed the ap- ! pointment to prevent further scandal. Canon Paredes admits that priests were murdered, but he puts the crime ! on the Zapatistas, who, be it remem- l bered. were once hand in hand with 1 Carranza. Moreover had Canon Par edes been more impartial he could | have furnished evidence of the bru. ital murders of Brothers, and of the lrevolting torture of priests in the
 north where Villa and Carranza were
 companions. The torture of the priests was directed by Colonel Fieru
 of the revolutionary army Should
