dents was forcibly demonstrated Min
day when a Japanese woman, Singaye
Tuni, was shot nearly to death by
a countryman, thought by the police
to be Takachi Hagaki, alias Araki
Yasuma, now under arrest.
Capt. Arthur McDuffie, who inves.
tigated the premises Of the shooting
late Monday afternoon with Detective
A. S. Kozuki, Japanese interpreter,
reports two interesting discoveries.
One was that Yasuma is an ex-conyict
on parole and another that he had
purchased two pistols. The one
which fired two shots into the
woman's body yesterday was pur-
chased quite recently, after another,
of larger caliber, had been secreted
by the woman in a neighbor's house.

Records in McDuffie's office show
that a Japanese, Araki Yasuma, was
sentenced Decent Der 6, 1910, in Hilo,
to five, years in prison for first de-
gree larceny and was paroled April
20. 1915. McDuffie says Hagaki is no
ether than Yasuma.
The interpreter, Kozuki, says the
woman discovered that the man with
whom she had been living and for.
whom she had divorced her husband
was an ex-eonvict and refused to live
with him. HAgaki took to drink, says.
Kozuh, and did the shooting.

: According to neighbors who saw the
shooting. Hagaki chased the victim
from her house about noon, across a
vacant lot, firing at her several times
as she ran. When his pistol was
empty, they say, he reloaded from

grass and escaped to the wcman's

REVOLUTIONARY
LEADERS MUST
TAKE BIG RISKS
No Confirmed Report as to
Death Of Tsen Prominent
Chinese Tells of Plot
Especial Cabs 70 NipDu ,Jiii,


TOXIC, Japan, Aug. The start
ling report from China that Tsen Chun-
Hsuan, who heads the present revolu-
ton IN Southern China, has been as
sassinated by the agents Of the late
Yuan Shih- Kai, former president OF
China- is yet unconfirmed The report
OF his death was meager and details
were lacking.
An assassination is usually consid-
cred an act Of cowardice, but with.
some factions in China It appears to
be policy" said prominent Chinese
today when asked regarding the case
of Tsen Chun-Hsuan. The report of
the assassination of Tsen of course
is too meaker to give credence to it
but It is possible that It is true, since
assassination has been a part Of the
late Yuan Shih-Kai's avowed policy in
DISCRIMINATING his political foes.
Tsen, together with DR.. Sun Vat
Sen, Gen. HWang Hsing and many 9TH.
er Chinese leaders In the revolutionary
movements. were declared by the late
Chinese president to be political of,
finders, and prices were set on their
heads. Any person who would have
brought one OF these men to Peking
dead or alive would have been paid
large reward by, the government. Ii
is strange that Most of them thus tar
have managed TO dodge the assassifs
who followed closely ON their heels.
The WDuIdlEe assassins were
swarming IN T0lio when DR.. Sun Vat
Sen was hiding there. His where
abouts were kept secret from these
Chinese, and the Japanese police had
TO detail q special guard day and night
to protect the Chinese leader from
being killed.
Gen. Hwalg Hsing, an associate of
Dr.. Sun, and who passed through Ho-
nolulu recently on his way to China,
was also made target Of assassins.
He had to be talten secretly from the
Tenyo Maru when the big T.. X. X.
liner reached Yokohama. A small j
boat was used to dodge the head.
hunters who were expected to make an
attack.
These are only q few examples of
the risk which tie Chinese revplufion-
lists hare to undergo. AS Tsen Is as
prominent as DR.. Sun Vat Sen or Gen.

been constantly threatened by assas-

SUGAR SOARING AGAIN.

A quarter OF century or more ago,
before beet farming was known on the
Pacific coast, Claus Spreckles, the sugar
king of California, had an absolute
monopoly on every pound of sugar that
was consumed on this side of the Rocky
Mountains. He also held monopoly
of the cane fields of the Hawaiian Isl.
ands, where he enslaved the populace
for his own interest. He was also tho
beneficiary Of high protective tariff.
and also enjoyed a bounty from Uncle
Sam to foster and encourage his multi
millionaire industry. Notwithstanding
the high protective tariff, the infant in
dustry bounty and the cheap labor,
sugar retailed for 10 cents a pound in
San Francisco, where white sugar was
considered candy by the poor. There
was no graduated sugar then-only
brown, loaf, and confectionery sugars.
Brown sugar was the commodity of the
wage-earner and he only got about IA
pounds for his big silver trade dollar.
During President Cleveland s first adj
ministration, congress killed the high
protective sugar tariff and suspended
its infant industry bounty. The result
was that twenty or more pounds Of
white sugar could be purchased for a
dollar, and brown sugar entirely dis
appeared from the homes of the work.
ing classes. In less than twenty years
of cane sugar monopoly which was
protected by prohibitive duty and
fostered by bounty that was almost
infamous, Claus Spreckles left an estate
of almost two hundred million dollars
for daughter and three sons to fight
over during the declining years of
their parents lives, which was mater.
tally curtailed by the millions of dollars
that were unjustly and unnecessarily ex-
acted from the sugar consumers of the
Pacific coast.

In some of these instances as in
the case of belladonna, the rise in price
is due to the fact that this drug is
largely cultivated in and exported IRON
Germany and AUSTRIA explains Mr..
White. Gin the case of the coal tar
products, the reason is found in the use
of many Of the basic substances in the
manufacture of explosives. Thus, car
bolic acid is largely used in making the
explosive known as pierre acid, some
times called lyddite, and all available
stocks are being diverted to that use
so far as possible. Quinine is high in
price because so much is used in the
treatment of febrile conditions arising
in troops exposed in the trenches.
Every time pharmacist reflls an
old prescription at its original price,
the chances are he is losing money.
There is no class of substances in which
the rise in price has been so little felt
by the consumer, and largely equalized
by the taking of smaller profits, as in
the case of drugs. This condition, how
ever, cannot continue indefinitely, and
drugs and medicines are bound to rise
much higher in price if the war con-
tinues.'
