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.

sponded Mr. Taft, with a broad grin,
"is that down there they think you
are about twice as big as I am."

Trouble Started in Political Rivalry,
and Troop Have Been Called
to Keep Peace.
MDADVILLE, Miss., June 14. Two men
are dead, two perhaps fatally wounded
and three slightly injured in a street bat
tle here this afternoon, caused by a bit
ter feud that had been previously marked
with tragedy. Great excitement followed
the fray, and troops were rushed her to
guard against possible rioting.
Dr. A. M. Newman, clerk of the Chan
cery Court, and Silas Q. Reynolds were
killed, and Dr. Lennoz Newman and Her
bert Applewhite are believed to be dying
from their wounds. - ".
L. P. Pritchard, a brother of Cornelius
Pritchard, whom Dr. Newman killed
seven weeks ago, was arrested charged
with complicity in the tragedy. The kill
ing of Pritchard by Newman was the first
bloodshed in a feud that had existed be
tween the two men, relatives and friends
for months. This bitter factionalism had
its inception in a political campaign, in
which Newman and Prtchard were op
posing candidates.
Newman was tried a few weeks ago
for Pritchard's -murder, and was ac
quitted. The light occurred almost on the
same spot where Pritchard was 6lain. It
Is apparently doubtful who fired the first
shot.

Wife Has Only One Plea
for Separation.
MAY PROVE ABANDONMENT
Charge of Drunkenness Held
Forth as Cruelty.
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. But the

Leader In Spokane Says 60 Per Cent
Will Give rp Unless Wages
Are Raised.
SPOKANE, June' 14 (Special.) If
the present enforcement of the antl
tlpplng law continues and wages are
not raised by the employers, practically
60 per cent of tho waiters in the best
houses In Spokane will be driven from
the business or obliged to seek employ
ment in other cities", according to ex
perienced waiters.
"If the present condition continues 60
per cent of the waiters in the best
houses of Spokane will be driven from
the business here." said Joseph Shel
don, president of the Board of Allied
Crafts. "Many men have families to
support and, considering their expense
of laundry and clothing, they cannot
live decently on the wages they receive.
If tipping la done away with a raise
of from 16 to 7 per week will be neces
sary in order to keep the men. in the
business."
Some of the waiters In the best Spo
kane houses have already left for Se
attle, for in that city they are allowed
to handle the cash and the chances for
side money are better.
The men cannot strike for higher
wages, having recently signed an
agreement which settles the wage scale
for the next two years.

left on board, managed to keep afloat till
lines were thrown them and they were
pulled over the rail, completely ex

by the pilothouse and her arm was
Jammed through a window. Her hand
was severely cut by broken glass. Sev

The little craft had a terrific expe

came in over the bar after a fishing trip,
with three women and seven men, beside
the captain. Suddenly a great wave
