Much Americanized

DR. NJ. Negoro, secretary Of the

G. Shimada, recent arrival from
Japan; will speak at the Asahi thea
ter Friday evening AT this meeting
DIR. Negoro plans to make an attack
On DIR. Y. Haga, compiler of the Japa-
nese school text books. ...:.
DIR. Negoro maintains that the text
books for the Japanese Hawaiian-born
children we're edited from the Ameri-
can standpoint, and makes the state.
ment that Japan has been neglected.
DIR. Haga is a prominent educator of
Japan and was called here to confer
with the leading Japanese educators
in regard to the new text books for
the children in the Japanese schools.
In an open letter consul-General Il.
Moroi urged the educators to adopt a
text book for the children that would
be American in it's scope, inasmuch as
the children in the schools will be-
come American citizens. His idea was
TO have the students learn about the
deeds Of Washington and Lincoln as
well as the heroes of Japan.

ran into a Japanese who turned di-
rectly IN front of him, SO the bishop
says, on his bicycle. There were no
injuries and little damage was done.

slowly but that in order to avoid
striking the Japanese harder he
swerved suddenly to the right and ran
through gate in the fence of Dis
trict Court Clerk and Chinese inter-
prefer l.. M. King.
Although the bishop did not consid-
er himself responsible for the acct
dent, he paid the Japanese for the
damage done the bicycle, had the rid

ALLEGED Wife i. ].
BEATER AGAIN
Under ARREST

Hiding under bed sheet in house
not far from the Libby, McNeill G.
Libby cannery in Kalihi, the police
found Charles Boyd this afternoon and
arrested him for the second time in
two days on a charge of wife beat
ing II >=.
Boyd was practically a fugitive from
justice since Wednesday morning
when he posted $25 bond to appear
later for trial after he had been ar
raigned for assault and after he had
threatened his wife by signs in court.
According to the police, Boyd
sought out his wife as soon as he left
court and threatened her. Then he
left home and went into hiding.
The wife came to the police station.
as soon as she heard of his arrest
to plead for her spouse's release.
e Boyd is a Russian, who changed his
name. The police say he threatened
to kill his wife and exhibited a re-
volver to back up his threat.
The wife says he was carrying big
pistol in his pocket.
Incidentally he is one of those peo-'
pie who have no reason to carry
dangerous weapon. If, in a, fit of ang.
er, he had shot and killed his wife,.
she would have been another of the
many victims of the dangerous Gus
tom of carrying dangerous weapons.

LAST HEARING
CONDEMNATION
CASE IS near
Outlook is New Federal Build
ing Will Be Begun Before
Close of This Year

Proof OF publication of summons in
the suit by the United States to con-
denim the Irwin site was filed in fed
eral court late Wednesday afternoon
b. Assistant U. s. Attorney Samuel B.
Kemp, thus bringing the action one
step nearer the final hearing which
will determine the proceedings.
In the opinion OF the U. S. attor-
ney's office. it is not likely that any
Of the claims to the site will have to
be settled before a jury. If all re-
spondents waive jury trials, there is
every possibility that the way will be
cleared so that work On Honolulu's
new federal building may begin be-
fore the close of 1916.
The next proceeding in the con.
domination will be for Clerk George
r. Clark to certify to the court those
respondents who are in default; that
Is, those who have failed to answer
the petition Of the government This
will necessitate close comparison, and
il will take about week to deter
nine those who have not answered
and to prepare the necessary papers.
When this certification has been
made, Attorney Kemp will move in
court for the entrance of an order de-
claring those respondents certified to
as being in default. =: -
This win dispose of their suits on
the ground that they have no interest
in the SITE" Kemp says. ... ]
Thus far the following respondents
have filed their answers:
w. G. Irwin Estate Company, own. !

ton OF an undivided interest in the
opera house site, and the Rawlins

cd owners OF one of the tracts in the

mortgage on the property of Rawlins
and his wife.

John Ferris, and Claus A. and Rudolph

Of the late Claus Spreckels, claimants
Of an undivided interest in the opera
house block, who alleged the value of
his interest to- be $12,500. 4 Er,j
Mrs. Theresa Wilcox Belliveau, who
claims to be the owner of one Of the
tracts in the site, and who alleges it Is
u orth $4,000.
Mrs. Kalalaina Keaweamahi, claim
ing to be the owner of one of the
tracts and alleging its value to be
SIC, 600.
Mrs. Cecilia Meha, claiming to be
sole heir of Nua, one of the respon.
dents, who does not put value on her
alleged interest.
II was expected that one more an.
swer would be filed today by an al.
eyed sole heir of another OF the Ha-i
Raiian respondents.
With those respondents who have
lot answered declared to be in de
,ault, the proceedings in condemnation
hen will be ready for the final hear
