Tokio, Sept. 20.-Claims that the United States is maintaining a larger garrison in the Hawaiian Island than is necessary and that American sol diers in that placed number 10000, were made in a letter written by MT. Takeo Tanaka, member of the Japan csc Imperial Diet, who recently made a tour through the principal cities of ter, published recently in the Tokio Jiji Shinpo, is written from New York city to his friend, tfMr. Y" in Tokio. Hawaii, says MT. Tanaka, has become a camp for soldiers. Sugar planta- tions, according to his observations, are serving chiefly today as sites for new barracks MT. Tanal1a says that the understands the garrison Of 10000 men is kept there as a precautionary measure to guard against the Japan csc residents there. His letter, the re- suit of observations made while MT. Tanaka, with other members of the Diet party, was en route to the United States, follows:
 Yankees Defective" New York, July T. My Dear ~:
 How are you? There is no change on the whole to be noted in America save that, compared with the country of five years ago, it has taken on a very miliariStic appearance. As soon as we landed at Honolulu we noted a great number of soldiers. We learned
 
 0,000 soldiers. For 1000 soldiers to be quartered in that small saucer like place seems to have become a problem even to America. I was told, to be sure, that the Japanese are in the majority there. But, at any rate, it seems to be the common view that it is a foolish thing to keep so many soldiers in Hawaii.
 Moreover. these soldiers occasion ally annoy the daughters of respecta- ble families in the islands, thus in creaSing the problem. The remarks of 1 the Japaneses in connection with this are interesting indeed. We would rather have more of these soldiers, they say. You see, MT Tanaka, in erecting these barracks and in other work, Japanese labor is needed If the | soldiers continue ito come we can do more business in selling things here | "I wish you would study these | ironical and yet logical remarks O. | the Japanese in the islands.

1,6OO KILLED IN ACCIDENTS
 SINCE 1905

Hartford, Sept. 20 - More than 1,60O people have been killed in au- tomobile accidents in Connecucut since 1905, when motor vehicles first began to be used in this state. Statis- tics given out today at the motor vehicle deparment showed that. eN- cept for the year 1918 when the use of pleasure cars was greatly curtalled on account of the war, and 1911, the annual death rate from thlS cause gained steadily until last year, when regulation kept the total down to 23o, as against 234 the previous year. This reduction was accomplished not withstanding the fact that there were nearly 1S,000 more Connecticut ma chimes on the roads last year than III 1919.
 In 1910 there were 11,9o9 automo- piles registered in Connecticut and B people were killed in the state as the result of automobile accidents Tn 1920, there were 123,S95 automoplles in this state and seven times as many deaths.
 Corrected figures for the interven- ing years show the proportlon or mo- tor vehicle fatalities to the numoer of registered automoblles Tn coRo opo necticut annually, as follows l6,4S9 machines in 1911, 26 deaths; 2a'654 machines in 1913. 6S deaths; 26,a44 machines in 1913, 6s deaths; S3,207 machines in 1915, 1o9 deaths; 61,215 machines in 1916, 194 deaths; s1,276 machines in 1917, 225 deaths; S9,795 machines in 1918. 209 deaIns; 1o6'- 445 machines in 1919, 2S4 deaths It will be seen that during the war year" (191S) there was an increase of slightly more than S,0o0 cars in Connecticut, as contrasted with gain of over 10000 the year before and over 25,0O0 the following year.
