declaration of war by President VIII
son the United States navy depart
rnent at 11:30 this morning took over
all wireless companies and plants IN
the islands and established q rigid
censorship over the cable office.
The move means that absolutely no
messages other than federal govern

vail by wireless and nothing but
straight English messages no code or
foreign languages-will be accepted
at the cable office. III.
Some exception is probably made
however, as the Star-Bulletin received
few brief wireless press messages
shortly after 2 o'clock. 80
1t also means that temporarily at
least the only means of communica-
ton between the islands will be by

JAPANESE BOY PLAYING
R0BBER SHOOTS BROTHER
WITH "UNL0ADED" RIFLE

Memories of boyhood are recalled
by an incident which occurred yester.
lay at Matsumoto's village, Moiliili,
when little Keota Matsumoto was shot
in the abdomen by his brother Tat,
sunni, with a % rifle.
A number of Japanese boys were
participating in that fascinating uni.
versal pastime of playing roDber,
when Tatsumi covered" his brother
and ordered him to throw up his
hands. Bravely Keota defied the she.
riff or train-robber or whatever the
part might have been, and Tatsuml
pulled the trigger.
The unexpected flash came and
Keota was rushed to the emergency
hospital and later to the Queens hos,
Dital. where 1t is reported today that
he will probably recover.
