ALLEGED SLAYER OF .
! WOMAN Arrested.
Charges Against Japanese Taken
At Hilo Are Revolving and
Sordid In Their Details {
tMail special 70 me Advertissrl

HILo, July 2-Kenzo Yasumoto,
charged with violation of the White
Slave Act, appeared before United
States Commissioner T. f. NJ. ozorio
on Sunday, the hearing of the case be-
ing set for July 10.
The details of this case are particu-
larly revolving, it being alleged that
Keno picked up with Japanese wo
man named Katsuko Ishihara about
two and a half years ago in Mahukona,
he being q travelling show man at the
time. He is said to have induced her
TO live with him and after some time
tried to induce her to enter an inn
moral life. On her refusal he is al.
legged TO have beaten her into uncon-
seiousness and 20 have forced her to
accede 10 his demands. ISL
The couple then came to Hilo
where he rented two rooms on Front
Street, in one Of which the woman was
forced to carry on her immoral trade.
Every cent she secured he grasped and
on three different occasions when she
tried TO escape he brutally assaulted
her almost killing the unfortunate wo-
man. Finally she became i'll and he
released her from her durance and she
went to Honolulu, where she was mar
ried TO another Japanese.
Upon Keno returning to Honolulu
some time ago, he found that Katsuko
was married and in good health and he
again endeavored to procure her for
immoral purposes. She refused, where.
upon he threatened to kill both her and
her husband, and by his threats he
again gained control over her, bring.
ing her to Hilo,
By this time, the district attorney OF
Honolulu got news Of the case and upon
Investigating the matter secured suffi
cient evidence TO justify him issuing .
warrant for the arrest of Keno, which
he did, the warrant being served upon
him on Sunday by United States Mar
shall Smiddy. "
Keno was at once brought before
United States Commissioner OzoriC
\ and four counts were read against him
all of which he denied. Smiddy asked
that bail be fixed at $4,000, but Com
missioner O2orio placed it at $1,000 and
/ Keno was held in custody until thi!
morning when he filed a bond and wal
released pending his hearing.

How does that soundf
1t may be published in the near flu
ture, because Commissioner Donald of
the shipping board wants 10 use the
names of members OF congress to paint
on the sterns of the German ships now
in American hands and on the hun
drcds of new ships soon to be launched
under the flag of the shipping board.
The Official Bulletin so announces,
saying "a".
"Naming the German ships that
have been seized and the new ones
under construction for the government
is no small task, the shipping board
thinks. Several hundred names will
be required in the near future. The
idea of using Indian names was taken
up, and also proposal to use names
of smaller towns and rivers and coun
ties, but neither proved satisfactory.
Commissioner Donald is an advo
cate of naming the ships after the
members of the senate and house, and
it is possible that this will be done
just how the matter Of duplication
will be settled is another Vexing ques

PROFIT OF FIVE j.

4 When q man loses an opportunity,
put right before him, to make a profit
of five thousand per cent on forty thou.
sand dollars in three years, he is liable
to experience the regrets now suffered
by George E. Marshall of Honolulu,
breakwater contractor and engineer! q
That was what Marshall lost-five
thousand per cent--or n gross profit of

upon picking up Coast paper and
learning that the steamer formerly
called the Sesostris had been sold to
an unknown San Francisco syndicate
for two million hard dollars. y.
Under date of May IL, l0l4-three
years ago---Marshall was offered this
vessel for $4,000 and he didn't taketit,
but came to Hawaii instead.
At that time the vessel was in the
peculiar position on the Central Amer!
Ican coast where il had been wrecked
md had been foated but was cut of
from the sea by $50 feet Of sand. He
inquired about the prospects of pur-
chasing the vessel and received let

are probably aware, about $50 feet OF

her head can be turned around to face

Phil Danky Tells Of Sights On
Registration Day and During
~ Red Cross Week i Z.

Rousing enthusiasm for the war and
a firm determination on the part of the
majority of Americans to help their
country perform its duty was seen by
Phil p. Danky assistant secretary Of
the promotion committee, who returned
yesterday from tour of the mainland
in which be had exceptional opportuni-
ties to get a birds-eye view of the sit.
uation. - -
He was en- route south, on June 3,
which was registration day and saw
the working out Of this gigantic task
in three States. These were Kansas, Ok.
lahoma and New Mexico and in all Of
them Danky saw the most intense en-
thudasm displayed and a vipor with
which the work was carried on. Flags
were flying, bands playing and the en-
tire population was out watching the
proceedings, rounding up the slackers
md getting the fighting men of their
districts enrolled for the nation.
Coming into FL Paso on the FL Paso
md Southwestern, Danky saw the other
side of the picture. Hundreds of
slackers were getting over the line, pre-.
ferring the company of Pancho Villa
and his cheerful bandits to the associa.
ton Of their fellOw-countrymen at such
4 time. No difficulties were being plac.
ed in their way. At the international
bridge, however, Danky saw every
llacker stand up before camera and
''mugged ~. 1t was easy for them to
rross the line south, but from what
he saw and heard il will be difficult
| for them to get back. 1t was estimated
about FIVE hundred made their getaway
some of them padding across the Ric
Grande Mt unguarded spots.
! Some old friends of Honolulu were
met by Danky in his travels and among
| them were large number of the late
crews of the German ships seized ii
| Honolulu harbor. This was on the &C
casion of his visit to Fort Douglas
Salt Lake City, where, when he wa,
walking about the post, he was hailed
by name by Captain Minssen, late ioi

Hcers and men are confined in great

earning their bread by the sweat OF
their brows. Most of them were EN-
ployed az agricultural laborers, blu

themselves useful about the barraek
