ABUNDANT EVIDENCE FOUND
Strikers Had Planned Campaign of
Intimidation and Violence, to Be
Carried On Through Jap News
papers, to Control Sugar.
HONOLULU. June 13. Fifteen of the
Japanese strike leaders arrested yester
day upon indictments returned by the
grand Jury were given a preliminary
hearing today. District Judge W. L.
Whitney held 12 of them for trial on
charges of conspiring to riot and three
for conspiracy to murder.
The energetic action taken by the ter
rltorial authorities, it is believed, will
make military Interference and declara
tlon of martial law in any part of the
Hawaiian Islands unnecessary.
No Crowds Permitted.
When the Territorial District Court
convened In extraordinary session for the
preliminary examination of the strike
leaders. Sheriff Jarrett, with the ap
proval of the presiding judge. AV. J. Rob
inson, ordered that no crowds be permit
ted to assemble about the Courthouse
during the hearings of the cases against
the Japanese, on the ground that it was
likely to lead to disorder and disturb
ance of the peace.- This order was rig
idly enforced by a large detail of police.
Following the action of the court In
holding the indicted Japanese for trial,
William P. Heney, Territorial High Sher
iff, united with County Sheriff Jarrett In
the issuance of a proclamation' forbidding
the assembling of large crowds anywhere
in the territory while present conditions
In the island obtain. With thousands of
idle Japanese excited over the arrest and
trial of their countrymen, the authorities
deemed it wise to prevent the assembly
of strikers in numbers that might lead to
disorder and violence.
Much Evidence Secured.
The authorities declare the evidence
adduced before the grand jury yesterday
and the papers seized Friday when the
offices of the Jijl, a Japanese newspaper,
and those of the Japanese Higher Wage
Association were raided, furnish abun
dant grounds for believing the strikers

to intimidation and violence In their ef

leged conspirators, stated today the evi
dence in the possession of the author!
ties discloses the entire plan of the
strike leaders from the inception ofthe
agitation for higher wages.
The plan, he alleged, included controll
ing the strike by a secret committee and
carrying on the campaign among the
Japanese laborers through the columns of
the Nippu and the Jijl, two newspapers
controlled by the leaders; the aecumula
tton of funds for hiring attorneys to de
fend and furnish bail for those placed
under arrest as a result of their activity
punishment by strikes or otherwise of
such planters as opposed the programme,
una a Doycon oi such of their own

Senlchl Vyeno, Japanese Consul-Gen

from the beginning of the agitation. He
expresses approval of their arrest and
prosecution.

BUFFALO, an. T., June 13. (Special.)
Delegates to the 36th conference of
charities and corrections occupied the

was delivered at the Star Theater by

condemned Mr. Carnegie's library
charity.
"To call a man who has crushed his
enemies singly and in groups a public
benefactor Is a lie," said he. "We need
justice more than we need libraries."
"The higher function of charity, he
continued, "is not to tinker and to tern
porize, but to anticipate and to avert.
Though concerning himself with the
task of temporary alleviation, the so
cial worker is never to lose sight of
the possibility of ultimate redress."

Cannot See How "Base Rumor" Got
Abroad Young Man Stayed In
Paris for "His Art" Both
Start West at Same Time.
CHICAGO. June IS. (Special.) Follow
ing on the alleged announcement by Claus
Spreckels that he was not engaged to
Miss Mary Adele Case, that young
woman, who is sojourning briefly In Chi
cago, proclaimed she herself had an an
nouncement to make.
It is quite a delicate piece of work
the task of transmitting that announce
ment. Beginning with the statement.
Mr. Spreckels and I have an excellent
understanding of friendship," it ended
with this declaration:
"I don't want you to say that I shall
not marry Mr. Spreckels, because I may.
No, we are not engaged, but I did not
see any necessity for hurrying into
matrimony."
Two years, perhaps," suggested the
interviewer.
'Well," she continued, metaphorically
standing on one Parisian slipper,
don't know about two years."
Black Hair Expresses Moods.
Miss Case left Chicago tonight for the
West. Young Mr. Spreckels has also
left, and the supposition is he took the
same train so he might discuss art and
other things with her on the way.
Her black hair had a way of flaunting
itself gaily when she was alert, and
dropping dismally when she subsided.
Seldom was ever such expressive hair.
Now it took on its dejected look, and
her animated dark eyes grew dreamy
as the gray lake.
"You see. it is a delicate situation to
express," she added.
The way the Interview ever came about
was that Miss Case has been in Highland
Park witlj Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Buckley
on her way to Oregon City, Or., which is
her home. At the breakfast table she
happened to pick up a copy of a news
paper containing an Interview with Mr.
Spreckels, in which he said he is too rich
and too young to wed.
Made Her "So Furious."
m
"It made me so furious," she declared,
coming; in with Miss Saidee Buckfey about
2 o'clock from a trip to the city. "He
is not the typical rich man's son. and he
would never say any such a thing."
Miss Case is small, quick, decided In
speech, excitable, like the French, but
controlled, as an artist Bhould be. ' EJren
In her excitement there -was repose. She
was concerned at first to talk about her
art. and was so successful In convincing
the reporter that she drew the sympa
thetic question of "why, I wonder how
such a base tale ever got out?"
"I can't -Imagine," she answered. "Mr.
Spreckels came to Paris just for a little
time on his tour of the Continent, and
remained until I left. Of course we saw
each other almost dally, and he insisted
on appearing on the stage to turn my ac
companist's music Then when I crossed
the ocean, he decided to come at that

To Consult Conference

HAS KEPT HANDS OFF SO FAR

Sure to Disapprove.
VETO RUMORS ARE HEARD
Campaign Pledges and Chicago
Platform Promises Must Be Kept
or Administration Tfill Receive

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington June 13. When the tariff bill has
passed the Senate, and been referred to
the conference committee of the two
houses, it is probabU President Taft will
be consulted as to his Individual wlBhes
In the matter of tariff revision. Up to the
present time, the President has kept his
hands off; he has not undertaken to
dictate to either hoiue what it shouid do;
he has not eent for aena'.crs and mem
bers to tell them how to vote, no : has
he used other means to bring tho-n into
line with his views. That is nut his
function, under the Constitution.
But when the bill is in conference, the
Senators and members on the conference
committee are very likely to consult the
President, for they will realize when
their work is concluded and approved, the
bill will 'be submitted to the President
for hia action. A veto, which has been
talked of more or less, would mean
prolongation ot the special session; per
haps & continuance throughout the Sum
mer and Fall. That Is not desired. Nor
does this Republican Congress want to
be held up. before the country as a body
that failed to keep the promises made by
the party leader and laid down in the
party platform. '
Bill Does Not Please Taft.
It is a certainty that the bill, as it
will pass the Senate, will not meet with
the unqualified approval of the President,
nor will It conform to the pledges made
by him in the campaign, and contained
in the Chicago platform. But the Senate
bill will, of -course, have to be modified.
Everybody expects that, even Senator
AJdrich. It 1b when the conference com
mittee begins the alteration of the.
Aldrich bill that the President will be
consulted.
By ascertaining, and at least in part
carrying out the views of the President,
the conference committee can frame
bill that will be signed and become law.
By ignoring the wishes of the President,
and sending him a bill drawn chiefly by
Senator Aldrich, the committee can invite
veto, and the political - effects of such
veto would be attended by disastrous
results to the Republican party In Con
gress. The leaders in Congress do not
want their bill vetoed, and will be willing
to compromise if they become satisfied
that compromise is necessary to secure
Presidential approval.
Too Many Aldrich Fingerprints.
There have been reports the President
intends to veto the bill now in process of
formulation, because It bears too many
finger-marks of Senator Aldrich; there
have been equally positive announcements
that the President will sign any bill that
Congress may send to him.
The President himself has made no an

Prediction Made He Will Find
Paris More to His Liking.
LONDON, June 13. (Special.) It is un
likely any public action will be taken
either by the authorities in regard to the
allegations of perjury at the Inquest on
Mrs. Ruiz, or by the newspapers In con-
nection with the methods of corruption
by which the proceedings of the Coroner's
Court were hushed up. It is a matter of
speculation, however, whether Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbllt will long find London ,
to his liking.
As a matter of fact, London long ago ;
decided this young man was best left to
himself and the mixed crowd of satellites j
and parasites with whom he consorted. 1
The fact Iing Edward, when he visited j
the horse show, omitted to send for this i
particular exhibitor, while warmly com-i
pllmenting other representative Amerl- :
cans, has been much . commented upon, ,
and though it is absurd to suppose King -:
Edward has anyv idea of posing as a
censor of morals, he, in his public acts.
is most careful to avoid anything deroga- '
tory to royal influence for good.
Though there Is no power than can
pronounce sentence of banishment in such
a case, there are many ways in which
London can be made too hot for one who
has committed the unpardonable sin of '
being found out, and the prediction Is
freely made that this particular offender
will ere long find Paris more to his taste.
In other words, young Vanderbllt will
probably find . himself socially ostra
