Aid Refused Two
: Injured |. Boys At
Queens Hospital

EEKING first-aid for two small
Japanese boys whom he had run
- into with his automobile, and who
had been painfully injured, Charles r.
Bye was bluntly turned away from the
Queens hospital and forced to drive
the two boys to the emergency hospital
yesterday morning shortly after the
accident. At the emergency hospital
the boys were treated and kept until
their fathers came to take them home
While driving along King street yes,
terday morning, Mr. Bye ran into the
boys as he turned up Keeaumoku. The
boys were riding tandem on a bicycle
and one carried a fishing pole. When
Mr.. Bye turned off King street they
also switched off into Keeaumoku
and the collision occurred as they
turned across the street in front OF
the machine.
A soldier was passing and he Volun-
teered his aid Immediately, helping
to pick up the boys and put them into
the machine. Mr.. Bye's father was
in the machine at the time of the &C
cident and he also drove with them
to the hospital.
Stopping his machine outside the
hospital, Mr.. Bye rushed into the Of
flee and stated that he had two boys
outside in the car, how badly hurt he
did not know. He stated that he
wanted them cared for Immediately.
He was bluntly told, he says, that
the boys could not be taken into the
hospital, and was turned away even
before he had time to offer to pay for
whatever services might be necessary.
They told me that they could not
take the boys there and that l would
have to go down to the emergency
hospital" said Mr.. Bye this morning.
This l did Immediately, and there the
boys we're cared for

racks, which occurred on July 6, be-
came known today through court mar
tial orders made public from army
headquarters.
Ten years Imprisonment each and
dishonorable discharge was the SEN
tence imposed by the court on the six
offenders, but the time portion of the
punishment was reduced by Brig. Gen.
Charles G. Treat to one year each.
The six offenders were Samuel Ro-
sinoff, Dan B. Hogan, Michael A.
Zilemper, Peter J. Eustace and Ed
ward Peno, all privates. Violation Of
the 64th; seth and the Goth articles
of war were the charges on which
they were tried.
Under the mutiny charge the speci-
fication states that the men while
prisoners in the post guard house,
acting jointly and in pursuance of a
common intent, did, in time Of war,
on or about the 9Th day of July, 1917,
voluntarily, knowingly and wilfully
begin and join in a mutiny in the. post
of Schofield Barracks, H. T., against
properly constituted military authority
by engaging with each other to re-
fuse, and by refusing, wilfully to obey
the lawful command. of 1st Lieut..
Vincent p. Erwin, Field Artillery,
their superior officer to each to get
your mess kit from the porch of the
barracks and clean it, and the lawful
command of list Lieut.. Karl C. Green

dered, and the lawful orders of 1st
Sgt. Haddock L. Clifton, Battery F,
LIST Field Artillery, who was then in
the execution of his office, to clean
up your mess kits and to police up
the porch.
The specification goes on to state
that the six mutineers threw their
food upon the porch and walls of the
mess hall of Battery F, thereby
wasting it wiifully, malicously and in
open defiance Of existing orders"
How far their mutinous intent car
ried four of the truble makers is
shown in the fact that Silva, Zilemper,
Eustace and Peno threatened to muir
der two other privates, Leavitt and
Cohen, If they made known the plans
of mutiny, previous attempt having
been made to get the two threatened
men into the conspiracy.
The entire court martial order is
filled with the story of the action Of
mutineers which shows that they were
evidently intent on causing trouble.
L is said that they had been dis
charged from the mess hall and made
to eat mess kits because they refused
to behave themselves in the building

Resulting Explosion Leads BY.
ISLANDERS to Believe Pier
is Blown Up

What It feels like to be bombed by
the Germans and live through the &C.
currence was realistically experienced
by the crew Of the coal ship Scraps
and the workmen at Pier 8 few
minutes before noon today
Without warning the pier was Jared
by an explosion and the air was 50
filled with particles Of dust that none
could see what was happening. In
the 30-second interval Of surprise and
some fear the wofkmen tumbled from
their various positions and started
rapidly away from the danger zone.
Then II was discovered that there
were no casualties and that the pier
was not falling down, as the tumbling
around Of loose timbers seemed to
Indicate. A workman engaged under
meath the pier cutting Off . concrete
pile had discharged q stick Of giant
powder to hasten his work. He set
the powder off without warning and
hence the panic.
When the excitement was over and
the explosion explained, most of the
men laughed sheepishly at their own
fright, ~ they returned to work. But
the blowing up" OF the pier was so
realistic that one Of the Scraps crew
declared, Il thought the whole bot
tom Of the ship was gone" And a

who we're headed far away when the

O.K.FOR U.S..
REGISTRAIVTS
Attorney Rules Men in Hawaii
But Drafted on the Mainland
: May Be Examined Here

Men in Honolulu who have register
ed on the mainland for military SER
vice, and who have been notified that
their names have been drawn in the
selective draft, need not return to the
states to take their physical examina'
lions.
. This fact has been pointed out by
District Attorney s. C. Huber for the
purpose of clearing up doubt that
apparently exists in the minds Of men
now in the city who registered away.
81 believe the fact should be given
publicity" says the district attorney,
sas It does not yet seem to be quite
clear"
Two cases that have come before
the q. s. attorney recently prompted
him to request publicity on the point.
One was the case of a young man,
now in the city, who registered in
California and who was notified that
he had been drafted. He questioned
the district attorney regarding the ne
cessity Of his having to go back to
California for his physical examina-
ton, intimating that, if the trip was
necessary, he might have to seek ii.
nancial assistance. At the same time
the young man expressed a doubt
that he would be able to pass the ex-
animation. The other case was one
Of a young man who registered in
New York and who has been drafted
in that state. The question wheth-
er he would have to return there for
his physical examination was raised
by him.
In both cases the district attorney
explained that the point in question
already has been fully covered. and
that both men, or any others in the
same situation, should report to the
central registration board for their ex-
animation.
