GARDEN EXCUSES JUROR
AND POSSIBLY SECURES
NEW MATERIAL WITNESS

Attorneys have hard luck sometimes,
especially when examining persons
as to their qualifications as jurors.
Deputy City Attorney Will T. Garden
had little of this hard luck this
morning, but as a result may have
secured a new witness for the govern
ment. r. f.. i. ,..<...
1t was just a few minutes before
the trial Of Takimi Tateishi began in
Judge AShford's court Garden was ex-
aiming a Hawaiian juror-expectant.
This person surprised the court by
declaring he was within Is feet of the
place where Oliver Paakahili, late
mate Of the steamer Maui, was shot.
The Hawaiian then loudly declared
that the man who did the shooting
should be hung Then he added that
he was against capital punishment.
Garden challenged the juror and he
was excused, But Garden followed the
Hawaiian to the courtroom door. He
was told. Garden conferred hastily
with Criminologist Harry T. Lake. The
prosecution may have another wit
ness H. ..@.....

CHINESE DISLIKE SOLDIERS
Unlike the Japanese They Have a Con.
tempt for the Professional
Fighting Man.

The weil-known olden dislike o.,
even contempt for, soldiers common
to the industrious masses Of China,
In town as in country, Is based on
their experience that the soldier is a
loafer most Of the time and a terror to
the country when war is In the air.
They have not glori6ed valor or quite
grasped the beauty, not to say the
duty, Of dying for ones country, al
though when they do fight they face
death with o great Indifference.
Discussing this phase of the Chinese
character, Yone Noguchi, the Japanese
writer, says in the course Of a recent
article, according to East and West:
"This Chinese hatred Of soldiery busi-
ness Of the encouragement Of effemi,
nate Incidence Is well explained in a
famous ballad written by Pc Chu-i
called The Arm Broken Old Man.
This old man was not informed till
he received In his youth an order to
become a soldier and Intentionally
broke his arm In order to be excused
from such a duty. Although his arm
panied badly on a cold or rainy day,
he wal glad to be thankful for 1t. for
while his friends had been killed in
the battlefield, he alone could enjoy
Z long life. What a different sentiment
from that Of us japanese, whose loyal.
ty to the flag and the imperi' i house
10 taught to begin with the sighting
Of our own lives"
