BEGINS WAR0N
CHRONIC BUNS

Charged with soliciting aims, Andy
Graham, an Englishman, was found
guilty today in police court. Sentence
was deferred until Saturday at the re-
quest of the prosecution which will
make efforts to have Graham deport-
ed to the mainland.
Abe Kalana, police officer, was the
person of whom the aims were solicit
ted, and the aims in question amount
ed to 10 cents. That was the amount
that Graham sought of Kalana, ac-
cording to the testimony of the Off
Ger this morning. 49,.
Kalana said that after Graham had
"hit him for the loan" and had been
refused, that Graham had grabbed
him by the arm. The officer told
Graham that he would take him to
the police station, only to be urged to
do so by the latter. e..
Graham, when placed on the witness
stand, said that he had come to Ho-
nolulu as fireman on the transport
Sherman, and had walked ashore here
because he didn't like the ship" He
had worked now and then in the quar-
termaster's corral, depending upon
when he could get employment.
Deputy City Attorney Charles F..
Chillmgworth declared war on the
cumming" habit, which, he declared,
is becoming altogether too. common
in Honolulu. Il propose that we get
rid of this sort of people" he said.
Chillingworth then related the fact
that he had himself been approached
by Graham, with request for money
a few days ago. and that when he re
fused to come through" Graham had
insisted with mumbling.

thereof. or their terms or provisions. :"
1t is also alleged that the making Of
the deed of trust was the act and

There are thirteen Wesley houses

AS reflex result it is notable that

through service. Sixteen thousand
seven hundred homes, therefore, came
together and shared their lives, ignored
differences, and accentuated only that
which is noblest and common to man.
The city boards expended s7S,5S4.e5 in
prosecuting this work.
All these activities were directed by
eighty deaconesses and thirty-f1ve mis-
sionaries. Sixteen deaconesses served
as pastors assistants, three as travel
ers' aids. and nine as head residents
and worker in cooperative homes.

enterprise as it is. is only one of sew

orientals on the Pacific coast, Cuban
work in Florida. and port work among
arriving immigrants.

FRIENDS LOOK FORWARD. TO
EARLY ORGANIC UNITY
Convention of Hicksites Just Held at Cape May
Shows Much Progress Toward
Desired Union

Ohio outstripping Pennsylvania. New
Jersey and New England combined. In
the middle west the old Quaker prac-
tees and customs of plain speech and
dress have disappeared. The same is
true of Hicksite Friends in Pennsyl-
vania. This spring, at the Hicksite
yearly meeting in Philadelphia, it is
said not plain dress was seen. Yet
Quakers grow in numbers. especially
the orthodox. and now exceed 10000.
The Hicksite body, strongest in Penn
sylvania. Maryland, western New York
and Canada. is the one nowsmoving for
unity. Orthodox Quakers are meeting
their advances. In not a few cases
proposition have been considered to
sell old meeting houses and combine
in the one that remains.
Among orthodox Friends in the mid
die west there is a distinct demand for
ministers. The old prejudice against
a hireling ministry is said to have gone.
Were union to be effected. Quaker
meeting having about 10000 members
would result Contrary to the popular
notion, Quakers in America are not
dying out.

the Japanese high and unique tribute.
winch Is here quoted because of the in
innate light it throws upon the char
acter and customs of that versatile
and interesting people. He says:
make my bow first to their pic
turesqueness. There is no other such
picturesque nation on the face of the
eartn, l believe. Every baby bouncing
up and down on it's bigger sisters back
Is a picture. Every school girl in a
gorgeous kimono. decorated with ell the

and his blue blouse. covered as to his
back with Chinese characters, is a pic

and china shops-just the common.

which forests and mountains and parks
and castles figure.
Again 1 make my bow to the Japa-
nese because Of their extraordinary
politeness. One sees it exhibited
on every occasion. when two friends
meet. when they part. when the servant
opens the door. or when she hands you
a cup Of coffee. 1t is like the
smile that won't come of. -
Some people say it is only skin-deep
II SO. it is nevertheless very attractive
and worthy Of imitation by our brusquer
nation.
Again I make my bow to Japanese
courage. l do not mean in war-that is
evident enough-but in everyday life.
They dare to attempt new things They
are not afraid of failure. They will
try to talk English as soon as they
put up an English sign over a shop
when entirely ignortant of English
spelling and idioms as witness these
signs:

Lastly. l make g very low bow to my
Japanese friends because Of their love
of beauty and their idealism In what
other country in the world should we find
acres of cherry trees cultivated simply
for their blossoms. which last at most
for three or four days in April? These
trees produce no fruit of any value; yet
they are planted and tended with the
utmost care. and trained and propped up
In thsir old age IN order that for three

In what other country would millions

laborers. as well as people Of quality
take holiday In order to enjoy the
cherry trees. and stand gazing at them
in rapt enjoyment? What other people
would see beauty in a cluster Of dry
twigs in winter and arrange them ar

Il bow low to you. once more, my
Japanese friends. because you can see
beauty where 1 see only ugliness, that
you can idealize the commonplace and
