TO BRING DAMAGE SUIT, TOO Strikers" Headquarters Raid Has Diplomatic Sequel. THREE NEW ARRESTS MADE Tension High in Honolulu, and Po lice Ordered to Sleep on Arms. Newsboy Chased and Keeper of Restaurant Stabbed. HONOLULU, June 14. M. Negoro. one of the editors of the J1J1, made formal complaint to the Japanese foreign of fice today that the Territorial author ities Invaded ,hls rights, as a Japanese subject under the treaty between Japan and the United States, when High Sher iff William Henry raided the office of the Jljt and seized alleged Incendiary documents; and Is preparing to bring rourt proceedings against the Terri tory for $500,000 damages. The alleged violation of bis rights as a Japanese subject guaranteed under the treaty between the United States and Japan, he sets forth in his com plaint, consists In the search of his of fice and the seizure of his private pa pers by the Territorial authorities" without due process of law. Territorial Sheriff William Henry admits that the search was made by force of arms, and without search warrants or process of law, but claims that the papers seized contained evidence of criminal purpose. However, he declares the courts of the Territory are open to Negoro for re dress if he has been damaged. Japs Admitted to Ball. Negoro. together with Y. Soga, Y. Tasaka and K. Kawamura, the last three named being members of the edi torial stalt of the Nippu. another Jap anese paper, which has taken a promi nent part in the strike agitation, were admitted to ball at $1250 in each case this evening. Pending the furnishing of bonds or cash bail, all four are in Jail. With possible international complica tions looming up on the horizon as a result of Negoro's complaint to the Japanese government and with the ar rest today of the four editors on charges of conspiracy, the strike situa tion has taken a new turn. Tension Is High. While but slight disturbance of any kind has occurred so far, yie city is full of striking Japanese, and the ten sion is so great that orders were issued this afternoon for the full force ' of police to sleep at the police station tonight, ready for any emergency. An Incident of the day that threat ens a disturbance was the chasing of a carrier of an "extra" of the Japanese newspaper Shlnpo, announcing the ar rest of the editors. The paper from the start has opposed the strike and among the papers seized in the raid upon the office of the strike organs, were letters containing threats against the life of its editor. Although the strikers have returned to work on the Ewa and Walalua plan tations, it is not certain that they have abandoned the struggle. From the pa pers seized by Territorial Sheriff Henry it was seen that it was the original plans of the Japanese to return to work at Intervals to earn enough money to maintain the strike and by this method of working and again strtking to wear out the planters by the uncertainty and Irregularity of plantation operations. Strikers Grow Violent. Strikers today seriously stabbed a Japanese restaurant-keeper at Kahana for refusing to furnish them with food. The place Is difficult of access, but the Sheriff has started for the scene to Investigate. Most of the Japanese returned to work on the Ewa and Walalua planta tions and there are full forces of strike breakers on the Honolulu and Ohua plantations. It is reported from Hilo that the Japanese there have selected a delegation to come to this city and Join In the formal demand upon the Planters' Association for an increase of wages to $1 a day.

Reynolds were killed, and Dr. Lennoz Newman and Her bert Applewhite are believed to be dying from their wounds. - ". L. P.

WOMAN AND LAWYER- SPAR Mrs. Gould Blushes at Picture ol Herself as Circus Rider, but Is Ready With Retort Waste ful Kxpense on Dress. NEW YORK, June 14. Abandonment will be the sole issue upon which the suit for separation brought by Cath erine Clemmons Gould against Howard Gould, her husband, will be decided was made apparent late today In the Supreme Court by Justice Dowling, after counsel for Mrs. Gould had rested the case for the plaintiff. This sweeps away several phases of the case notably cruelty and non-support and Is a partial victory for Howard Gould. As to the charge of abandonment, the court held that this, too, might not stand, unless the plaintiff were able to show that Howard Gould's stipulation of reconciliation was unreasonable. This phase will be argued Tuesday. Xo Evidence of Cruelty. Developments today were perhaps the most interesting in the trial thus far.. George Gould, a brother of the defendant, testified, and Mrs. Gould was excused from the stand after three days of searching cross-examination. Delancey Nlcoll, for the husband, made the usual motion to dismiss the suit on the ground that the plaintiff had failed to make out a case. "There have een no evidences of cruelty," he argued. "One of the alle gations is that the plaintiff wa sur rounded by spies. Nothing has been adduced to prove it." Referring to the abandonment charge, he said Howard Gould left. his wife in July, 1906, but offered to return on perfectly reason able terms, among other things her abstention from intoxicating liquors. Mrs. Gould, he continued, refused. Attacks on Character Cruel. During the argument Mrs. Gould be came faint and left the room. Her counsel, . Clarence Shearn, argued against the motion to dismiss. "It is cruelty," he affirmed, "for a hus band without justification to accuse his wife of being a bad character or to en tertain against her, without cause, reflec tions against her honor. Inasmuch as the abandonment charge only is to be considered tomorrow, there will be no further mention of Buffalo Bill, "Big" Hawley, the ex-convlct, or Ed Sholes, the reputed gamoler.
