TEACHERS,
LABORERS,
ARGUMENT
Legal Battle for Release OF
Pedagogues Brought From
Japan Opens
- EpERAL Judge H. W. Vaughan

- EDERAL Judge H. w. Vaughan S
courtroom looked like a battle
4 ground this morning when, with
the tables of the opposing counsel
loaded with law books and congress
sional records, District Attorney 5. t.
Huber argued against the release OF
the five Japanese school teachers who
are held in the immigration station
awaiting deportation to Japan. Attor-
ney Wade Warren Thayer is repre-
enting the teachers.
Attorney Huber, reading from the
recent decisions Of the supreme court
of the United States and from con-
gressional records, held that the Japa-
nese teachers in question were liable
under the alien contract labor law, be-
cause they came to Hawaii on invita-
ton. Letters and opinions of the Sec
rotary Of labor and commissioner OF
immigration in Washington, which
were read, helped to strengthen his
argument.
Attorney Thayer argued yesterday
that the teachers are not classed as
'laborers," and therefore are entitled
to land in the United States. He
quoted laws to substantiate his argu-
ment.
Those who are awaiting the decl-
sion of Judge Vaughan at the immi-
grafton station are Hatsume Tsutsumi,
Tatsukichi Kuwahara, Akiyo Kuwa-
hara, Kazuzuh Yamamoto and Futo-
shi Ohama.

most rigid economy. Molasses. which
was formerly used chiefly to color the
bread, is not included in this bread
declared Mr.. Mckenzie.
The resulting product is not only a
war product, in that it effects a ire
mendous saving in wheat-that crop
which the government urges us to
economic on-but it is also a health
bread, containing as much nutriment
as the white bread, and being much
more digestible.
The price of the Graham flour out
Ct which the war bread is made is
not much less than that of the white
bread, but there is nevertheless this
saving in material which is quite i'm
r0rtant. Suggestions that oat, barley.
or potato flour be used instead of
wheat flour are impractical because
there is not mill on the Pacific coast
manufacturing this flour This is true
OF corn flour. although there is a mill
in the Middle West which manufac.
lures this product.
In whatever bread made. however.
some white flour must be used for the
gluten III it. No other flours contain
this necessary Ingredient
That a scent loaf is out of the
question at present is argued by point
ing out that the price of flour is about
s cents pound, lard is worth from
"a to 26 cents pound, whereas it
formerly sold for about half that price,
and sugar is selling for 81 cents a
pound.

ADMITS
DOUBLE
MURDER
Hawaiian Youth Relates Story
of Staying of Japanese and
How When Deserted BY Ac.
complete He Sought to Kill
Partner in Crime, Only to
SIay another BY Accident

-HE double murder Of yesterday
morning is the elimination of the
criminal work of a gang Of four
robbers, il was learned from Kapeliela
Kaeha, the 20-year-old Hawaiian boy
responsible for the shooting, who
made full confession to Chief Of De-
tectives Arthur McDuffie at 10 o'clock
last night. The gang, according to the
confession, consisted of Kaeha, who
now faces two charges Of murder in
the first degree; Datid Kapaona, who
will be turned over to the juvenile
court for several robberies; Gabriel
Dixon, who planned the robbery OF
the Japanese home with Kaeha and
Isidoro Elsinore, who was the second
man killed yesterday morning.
Gabriel Dixon, although at the po-
lice station yesterday morning, was
released before the police learned of
his completely in the affair. This
morning he is being hunted by the
police and charges will be brought
against him for robberies to which 1t
is alleged he has been a party.
Dixon went to the home Of Hoshino
with Kaeha and waited outside while
the latter made his way into the
room, bent upon robbery, Kaeha said.
After the shots had been sounded,
Dixon ran back to the room where
the four members of the gang had
lived-off Nuuanu street near DR.. LIS
residence.
Following the killing Of Hoshino
and the shooting of Miyada, Kaeha
wendell his way back to the den where
the men were staying. On the way
he emptied his big revolver, keeping
one shot to protect himself against
pursuit, he SAT d.
Sought Revenge
Arriving at the rendezvous, Kaeha
found DIXON telling the story of the
murder to Elsinore, who had been
awakened and was sitting on his bed.
Intent upon taking revenge upon the
Filipino who had left him in the lurch,
Kaeha drew his gun once more to KIN
DIXON with his last bullet, he later
confessed. Ill.
The gun went off Unexpectedly,
however, and Elsinore was killed in
stead. .-..-... @.....r# +.
Kaeha this morning admitted that
the gang had been responsible for
long series of burglaries during the
last few months. Kaeha began his
criminal career at the age of IL when
he was placed in the reform school
for breaking a Japanese bicycle, he
said. Two years ago he was released
from the reform school, but for year
was on parole.
7 Revolver Was Stolen - d.. ia
The revolver used in the murder
was stolen from Japanese on King
street, the boy said this morning. Not
long afterward, he stole IS from an
other Japanese which he divided with
Kapaona and Elsinore. Later he took

Egg Famine Hits
Honolulu; Supply
Is All Exhausted
HONOLULU is On the verge of
II an egg famine today. With
no shipments OF California

HONOLULU is On the verge of
II an egg famine today. With
no shipments OF California
eggs in two weeks, that source of
supply was exhausted last week
and the ensuing tremendous de.
mand on the isfafH product soon
exceeded the local supply.
According to p. A. Swift, man.
ager Of May & Co., not an egg
was to be found for marketable
purposes in Honolulu today. The
arrival of the Matsonia tomorrow,
however, is expected to ease up
the stringency.
Eggs at a dollar a dozen and
butter al a dollar a pound are
winter probabilities. declared Mr..
Swift. The prospective shortage
Of eggs and butter is no myth, but
a sober reality because of market
conditions on the mainland. Be-
cause of the high price of grain
farmers and poultry men are
killing off their fowls rather than
pay exorbitant prices for feed.
The early transport of thousands
of American soldiers to France
has resulted in an enormous de-
mand by the government for can
ned milk and as a result the con-
densers are buying up all the milk
in the market, taking the supplies
from the fresh milk people and
from the cheese and butter max
ers, consequently leaving a small
er supply of butter.

Have Plan FOR
EXTENSION OF
BISHOP Street
Engineer Collins and Attorney
Cristy to Hand It to Board
at Early Date

City and County Engineer George
NJ. Collins and Albert NJ. Cristy, dep
uty city and county attorney, are work
ing on a plan which will be submitted
in a report TO the board of supervisors
within a short time whereby the long
discussed Bishop street extension from
Hotel to Allen streets will be executed.
The new plan calls for a dirt road
without improvements, the cost o.
building being returnable by assess
ments levied on the property owners
along the street
According to Mr.. Collins, there
should be NJ difficulty under the new
plan for effeCting the extension, as the
properly through which the street will
run from Halekauila 10 Allen street is
government land, while the property
owners to the north of this point are
ready to withstand an assessment for
the cost of opening up the street from
Hotel southwark.
The details of the new plan for ex-
tending the street are now being
worked out by Mr.. Collins and while
it is too late to submit it to the meet
ing of the board of supervisors to-
night, the matter will be brought to
their attention at the next meeting for
approval. 1t is not expected the prop
erty owners on that street will oppose
it.
The old plan, which called for an
improved street with pavement, vas
opposed by the property owners on
the grounds that as a great many of
them intended erecting office build
ings the work of hauling material
would injure the improved road. Fur
Their, the owners hesitated favoring the
improved street scheme because they
were uncertain as to what might de-
velop in the way of assessment levy,
which might prove too high for their
property in the present unimproved
condition.
The opening of the street as a dirt
road would leave the matter in a DO
sition where they can decide later on
whether or not the business section
would move in that direction and
whether or not the business section
would move in that direction and
whether it was worth while erecting
office buildings along that street.
The assessment which is to be made
on each property owner will be worked
out in ratio to the proximity of his
property to the point where the street
extension is made and will embrace
all property owners on Bishop street
from queen to Allen streets.

Use OF War Bread Here
Will Save Tons OF Wheat
Six Thousand Pounds Day Can Be Saved Nation if Homo
!uIans VIII Use Graham Bread Instead of White-Whea
Prices Effect No Change in Cost

r HAT the action of the government
in setting the basic price of wheat
at $500 a bushel will have no
effect on the price of bread, but that
Honolulu people can nevertheless
save literally tons of wheat by using
war bread made of Graham flour, is
the belief of the leading bakers of
this city.
While there is no immediate pros
pect of a rise in the price of bread,
at the same time it is the belief of
the leading bakers that the scent leaf
will not return until after the war,
providing nothing unforeseen hap
pens. Bread is now selling for 10
cents a loaf, the price being the same
for both the wheat and Graham flour
bread.
The people Of Honolulu, however,
can save the country at least 5000
pounds of wheat day if everyone
would use war bread made Of Graham
flour, according to figures compiled
b. G. Stanley Mckenzie, manager of
Loves Bakery. approximately 10000
pounds of bread are consumed by the
residents of Honolulu each day. and if
this consumption were entirely of
Graham bread instead Of white bread.
the computed saving to the govern
ment would be made, he declares.
in the Graham flour" explains Mr..
Mckenzie, the entire kernel of the
wheat is used. The 80 per cent OF
the wheat which is ordinarily allowed
to pass out for stock food, for shorts
and bran, is included in the flour.
'The war bread made of this flour
does not contain any animal fats eth
er. Cotton seed oil is used in place
of the lard, on which the government
has asked the people to exercise the

LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET

Dealers in foreign markets are com
planning about the quality of the april
cots being shipped from the Salt River
valley and about the grading, which is
not up to standard. California has a
very strict grading law as to size anG
quality and the growers of this valley
are, no doubt, willing to conform to re-
quirements if they know what they are.
1t is growing evident that if the april
cot growers of this valley wish TO do
any extensive business in the fruit out
side of this state they must have an
organization to grade the fruit and
guarantee standard. Local produce
dealers are frequently in receipt of
requests for quotations on apricots in
carload lots but not having a growers
organization to deal with they are un-
able to quote prices with the assurance
that they will be able to fill carload or
ders.
The first crop of figs is very short
because of the cold spring and will soon
be gone. The second crop however,
promises to be heavy.
Potato shipments are lively, cars be-
ing packed at Coldwater, Glendale,

COMMERCIAL REVIEW

COMMERCIAL REVIEW
NEW YORK, June 15.-Tomorrow
Dun's will say:
With indications of returning activity
in branches which have experienced
more or less protracted lull, the general
position of business is stronger and
sentiment has improved The revival in
distrbutive trade has continued with
the more seasonable temperatures and
though not all reports are favorable,
results at the retail centers are now
more uniformly encouraging. Further
progress in agriculture also has ac-
companied the better weather and the
consequent freer movement of farm
been depressing effect on prices. Yet
the main trend of wholesale commodity
quotations is still oecisively upward
and textiles and steel and iron as well
as other important articles are not only
phenomenally high, but are likely to rise
TO even more extraordinary levels. The
requirements of the government are
assuming more definite shape in the
steel industry and earlier calculations
as to their magnitude are proving con-
servative, while in textile and in hides,
leather and footwear and other lines
the war needs are extensive and divers
flied. Weekly bank clearings, $5,471,-
4S0, TAP, an increase of 31.5 per cent
over last year.
