Il can no more be persuaded that the govern

ures in time of rebellion, because it can be shown
that the same could not lawfully be taken in
time of peace, than can be persuaded that a par

it can be shown to be not good food for a we'll

Nor am able to appreciate the danger that
the American people will, by means of military
arrests during the rebellion, lose the right Of

the press, the laws of evidence thruout the in

PIANIST BANGING

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.--Seven min

G5 hours and II minutes of continu-
ous playing to his credit he did not
collapse; he just dwindled off into
inertia. As a musical marathon the
piano contest in West Philadelphia
was over when ]. NJ Waterbury Of
Emporia, Kan, the rival of Hunting
den. fell off his stool from exhaustion.
After Waterbury left the chair Hunt
ingten kept on for record. Much
interest was taken in his performance,
as he is Philadelphian, living at 1901
Ogden street. The crowd was so
dense about the window in which he
was playing that policemen had to
force way for pedestrians.
Never for an instant did the playing
cease. BY the terms of the contest
both hands had to be kept going con-
tinuously. While Huntingdon took
liquid nourishment, in the main he did
not altogether confine himself to 1t.
Apparently he won because he was in

IKOMA FIREMEN
TO Be DEPORTED

Four men from the engineroom
force of the Japanese steamer lkoma
Maru are in detention at the U. s. Inn
migration station today, having been
taken off the freighter Wednesday
afternoon. They will be depcrted
back to Japan on the T. X. K inter.
mediate liner Nippon Maru tomorrow
afternoon. Two of the men are en-
gineers and the other two firemen.
Inquiry at the Japanese consulate
today brought forth the staterlcnt
from consular officials that the men
were paid off at this port because they
were unfit for duty and not through
any alleged refusal to work or attempt
at mutiny after the vessel left here
Tuesday morning. The lkoma re-,
turned from sea Tuesday night about
midnight She left again at $3.50 last
evening, all the trouble settled.
According to the story told Honolu.
III Japanese by members OF the crew,
the trouble started from two sources.
The first was demand Of the engine
room force for a raise in pay. The
men did net request the captain for
higher wages but planned q strike
while the Ikoma was en- route here
fr>m Balboa. She is carrying case
oil from New York, to Fusan for the
Standard Oil Company.
Last Sunday, the day before the
Illoma arrived here from the canal
for bunkers, the second bunch oil
trouble developed. slight leak In the
forepeak. The engine room force de-
manded of Captain Kayahara that he
have the leak fixed at Honolulu.
This the skipper did not do. the
crew told local Japanese Wednesday
afternoon. The Moroa took On bunker
coal and resumedJhe voyage Tuesday
morning. When about 30 miles out
OF port headed for Fusan the firemen
went on strike and said they would
not shovel a bit more coal until the
skipper returned to Honolulu and
fixed the leak.
Captain Kayahara put back to this
port and after a survey the leak was
stopped. The four ringleaders among
the engine room force then refused to
continue the voyage as they declared
the ship was unfit for sea. The skip
per accordingly decided to pay them
off here and sign on new men to take
their places. This was done. Ine
Ikoma is on her way today and every.
body is satisfied.
