JAP ANESE SHOT,
IGNORING GUARD

A Japanese sampan fisherman yes
terday received a bullet in his left
foot, fired from the rifle of Pearl
Harbor military sentry who had or
dered the Japanese to keep off the
naval reservation. The Japanese was
entering Pearl Harbor in his sampan
when the sentry ordered him to stop.
But the boat kept right on going, and
the sentry fired two warning shots
over the heads of the occupants of the
sampan.
The two warning shots we're useless,
so the sentry fired directly at the
man at the wheel. Okimoto Yoshi-
taro was the man that was struck, and
he was sent to the emergency hospi-
tai, this city. The other Japanese was
closely examined by the authorities,
who read him lecture and sent him
back with the sampan, to Honolulu.

TANKER CAPTAIN
TRYS new ONE
ON HARBOR STAFF

The captain of Standard Oil tank
er reaching port this morning had
heard that Honolulu was coastwise
port, so he didn't trouble to wait for
quarantine inspection when he arriv-
ed off the harbor this morning. He
brought his steamer right in and was
heading for a pier when stopped by
the quarantine officials.
When informed that he had to pass
pratique before he could enter the
harbor he turned around and went
outside again, penitently, rather than
protestingly. -.
This was the first voyage to Homo

he thought he could enter here the

ports, it is explained. He knows bet
