H0L STEM INTRODUCES,
RESOLUTION FAV0RtNG
CHINESE ADMISSION

Representative H. L. Holstein took
the floor in the house of representa-
tives this morning and introduced a
resolution memoralizing congress to
pass legislation to permit a. certain
number of alien Chinese, presumably
about 10000, to enter Hawaii to aid in
the cultivation of idle agricultural
lands. The resolution carries the pro-
vision that such Chinese be not per.
mitted to proceed to the mainland.
The resolution points out that at
present in Hawaii there are large
areas of land lying idle that might be
used for the cultivation of rice and
ether products. IT,. r.. 49,.
If these lands are titled" said
Speaker Holstein, "our food supply
will be- materially added to and the
taxable value of the land viii in
crease. .s.
He went on to say that certain menl-
bers of congress who visited here two
years ago were agreeable to having a
certain number of Chinese brought
into the territory As to the question
OF what the labor unions on the main
land would have to say regarding the
movement, the speaker pointed out
that the Chinese are to be brought
here for agricultural purposes only.
Representative Lyman urged that
careful consideration be given the
measure, pointing out that the lands
which are now idle should be turned
over to local residents seeking it. g..
The resolution was referred to the
agricultural committee. f.: '......

MAN WHO CUT JAPANESE
WOMAN'S HAIR FINDS IT
T.. EXPENSIVE EXPERIMENT

Just how much disgrace 1t is in
Japan for a woman to have her hair
cut off and how expensive it is to do
such a thing to woman in Hawaii
we're both shown in police court this
morning when a little" japanese wom-
an cried out her story to Judge Mon
sarrat, and Fukushima was sentenced
to three months in PRISON when found
guilty of charge of assault.
Fukushima claimed in his own de-
Tense that the woman begged him to
apply. the shears declaring to him that
another who also loved her then would
cast her from MIN and he { Fukushi-
MAJ could have her for his very own.
He stated further that she begged
him with tears in her eyes and put
the clippers in his hand to do the
cutting.
On the other hand the defendant,
who had been a very comely maid OF
Nippon with her great pompadour, sat
on the witness stand, her ragged,
bobbe hair showing through fingers
which covered it in despair as she
tried to hide ner shame and told the
story that Fukushima had held her
face downward OH the bed when she
was. so sick that she could hardly
move and cut Der pretty tresses away
in hopes that another lover of whom
he was jealous Would forget her.

More Money Needed is Agreed

BY Some Visitors

That the boys Industrial school at

From the senate those. who yester-
day 1Isited Waialee were Senator'S

arrived at the school
More Scholastic Work Needed
Practically all Of the senators inter
view today are of the opinion that
more scholastic work should be intro
duced at the school and that SuperfE,
tendent Anderscn's plan to build cot
tages for the boys to live in rather
than the. present dormitory should be
followed out
Senator Cooke believes that at least
two cottages should be erected at
once. These would cost $4,000 each.
"By using these" says Senator
Cooke, 'the boys can be distributed
according to age, which will be big
help. The honor system can then be-
gin to work out more effectively"
Dress Boys Better
Senator Makekau says that from hts
study Of the school yesterday he is
convinced that more money is needed
A good many of the uniforms were
ragged and ill-fitting, he says. which
fault could be remedied by more
money from which to supply.
Senator Desha notes considerable
improvement since his visit to the
school two years ago, though he says
there is stilf room fofSgain. He wants

SENATE IN FAVOR
NEUTRAL BOARD

Favoring that portion OF house bill
225 which requires that salaried Off
GERS of the territory or Of any political
subdivision of il shall not serve on the
public utilities commission, the senate
judiciary committee this afternoon
rendered its report to the upper house.
Under the present law" says the
report, mo person owning stocks or
bonds in any public utility corpora
ton or having any interest deriving
any remuneration from any public
utility shall be appointed Or employed
by the commission.
On the other hand salaried officers
of the territory or of any political sub
division may be members of the COM
mission. In other words, though one
party in interest is specifically en-.
joined from having representation on
the commission, the other party in in.
terest is allowed representation.
The cOmmittte feels that the com
mission should be an independent one
composed of persons having no in
terest in the corporation or govern
ment. This is the purpose sought for
in the bill.
The committee favored a salary of
s. day for each day of service rather
than no-salary basis as is proposed
by the bill from the house.
Other bills favored by the committee
are as follows: Senate bill SO, provid-
ing that persons convicted of mis-
demeanors may be assigned work by
supervisors If such persons desire it;
house bill ), relating to grapes grown
H. Hawaii; house bill 2e1, giving power
