JAPS SECRETING
Enough Rice Accumulated to
Feed Entire Population of Is

Women and Children Shipped

(Journal Special Rertlee.l
Honolulu, Jan. 1. The Japanese of
TIawall have secreted enough rice to
feed the entire population of the Islands
for seven months.' There are fully 1.000
more Japanese men In Honolulu than
there were a year ear. and a vaat ma
jority of the Japanese who bave re
turned to their homes during the last
year bave been women and children.
The significance of these facta has
caused the situation here to be regard
ed with much gravity. .
' The strateiie Importance ot having
large food supply In Hawaii hrthe event
of hostilities is apparent. The return
of women end children to Japan, which
the authorities report, la also note
worthy, especially in view of the re
rent arrival of Japanese troops in the
guise of eoollna.
..So secret have the methods of the
accumulation ef rice been kept that
even Chines dealers are Ignorant of
the real situation and claim that the
Importation of. Japanena rice- has
reaaed becauae of the increase in the
demand ' for the Hawatlan-growa rice
during the Inst year.
Inquiry shows that In 190S about
,t00,000 pounds of "rice were brought
nver. while In 10 there were 10.000,
eoe pounds Imported. Despite this the
market continues unchanged. . This com
jnodfty is not the only kind of. food
stuff that has bten brought In and se
creted. The ruHtoms receipts for the

that they are responsible for the brutal

The two men. were seen at varloui
times skulking In the shadowa.of tb
trees and telephone polea. Their sue
ptctous action . bad been noticed b;
different residents near the bridge ant
on several occasions people living In
that neighborhood while .on their w;
home at night have crossed the atree
to avoid a possible holdup at the hand
of the man or men they aaw atand-

. Kea Are Beported.
Finally the men were reported, to
Special Deputy eieriff Harry Adama,
who baa the night beat at the north end
of the bridge, and rie had watched the
men several nights before the murder.
Finally he went to them - while they
were hanging around the neighborhood
and told them if they had no buatness
in the district to get out. Since that
time, he says, he has not aeen them, and
no. report of suspicious characters has
been given the police.
The night of the tragedy Adama de
clares that he knowa he waa in the lm
mediate vicinity of the north approach
of the bridge at - the time of the mur
der,-but he heard no' outcry and aays
that this would have been Impossible,
as the heavy wind blowing, . together
with the noise from the city, precluded
the . possibility of a aound from the
oenter of the bridge being carried more
than a few reet.'- He aaya the are, lights
at both the north and south ends of
the bridge were out between T:I0 and
o'clock and that the bridge itself, es
pecially where the murder la believed
to bave occurred, waa wrapped In dark

the bridge at that time.

' It la probable that the men who
committed the crime went south, after
throwing, the body of Dr. Johnson over
the railing,. and are responsible for the
holdup of J. N. Dolph, which Occurred
at Eleventh and Mill streets a few
hours later. Numerous - other street
robberies which have occurred In the
King's heights district during pa
weeks are attributed to the suspicious

It is expected that construction of
the building will commence in the early

pains and eara will be taken by the
