The Filipino Experiment.
The American Sugar Industry and
Beet Sugar Gazette published in Chi
cago, in its issue of July 5 publishes
the following regarding A. F. Judd's
Mission to the Philippines.
The Planters' Association has just
received advices that the Philippine
Commission has given its consent to
the plan of the planters to import
large numbers of the Filipinos to Ha
waii for work cn the plantations. The
plan is that an agent of tho planters
shall select the Filipinos to be brought
hither, and they shall come under a
contract for a term of years, sty,
three or five. It is a part of the plan
that a certain portion of the wages
of the Filipinos, whjle working on the
plantations, shall be paid iutoa trust
fund to be held until the term of ser
vice has expired. It shall then be
paid over to the Filipinos to enable
them to return to their native land,
and to make it certain that they "will 1
not need to return home empty hand
ed. Some time ago the planters sent
Albert F. Judd, a young lawyer of
Honolulu, to Manila to confer with
the Phillippiue Commission, set out
the needs and proposals of the Ha
waiian planters and secure, if possi
ble, the consent nntl co-operation of
the commission in the scheme. Word
was received by the America Maru
that the commission had consented.
Before sending Judd the planters
had made investigation which con
vinced them that the Filipinos
would make effective plantation la
borers, notwithstanding the com
plaints made against them as labor
ers in their own country. Experience
with other laborers has convinced
the planters that if tho Filipino were
taken away from the environment of
bis traditions and customs which
fasten him to a low plane oMiving not
requiringjiudustry oncontinuous effort
to support, the creation of new desires
to be satisfied would verys peedily
lead to industry and continuous effort
Surrounded as they would be with
a new environment, with a different
and a higher plane of living, seeing
other pooplo wearing and enjoying
better clothes and more expensive
finery, or living iu better houses than
they have been accustomed to, and
freed from the environment which
bad made them satisfied with what
they had beeu accustomed to 1 the

tation will lead them to new desires
which it will take industry and con
tinuous effort on their part to satisfy.
Tho planters hold that while there
may be some in whom heredity and
the fcrce of habit may be too strong
to be overcome by the creation of
new desires, it will only be a sumJI
percentage who are thus inert, and
that the great "majority will yield to
the new environment, become indust
rious iu order to procure the means
of satisfying their newly awakened
desiies, and thus become efficient and
satisfactory laborers.
The planters, through Mr. Judd,
also presented the argument that
the plan proposed would work well
for the Philippines and the Filipinos' in
their native land. These Filipinos,
on their return from service in Ha
waii, would bring their new habits of
thought, their new e.i perionces, their
new desires, and the knowledge of
how to satisfy them, and their recog
nition of ways better than the old,
unvarying, ineffective ways of their
ancestors, amoug their own people,
and thus would at once become uu
element and infiuonce of progress
among them. In fact, the planters
argued that this plan would bring
the advantages and educative in
fluence of travel to bear at once
among the Filipinos themselves, that
it would be exactly in line with the
policy of tho commission In the past
in sending Filipino youth and others
to the mainland for travel and educa
tion, except that it would be without
cost to the commission or the Philip
pine government, and would not
educate those who thus traveled
above or away from their people.
While they would have had the ad
vantages and educative influence of
travel, and would have had in some
degree an important industrial train
ing.it would have been through actual
work for the sake of what tho work
would give them in material comfort,
clothing and finery, and those things
which they can appreciate. Their
training would all have been in the
direction of impressing on them th
direct and personal benefit of steady
industry and continuous effort of
work with the hands.
Having secured the consent of the
Philippine Commission to recruit
labor for the plantations of Hawaii
among the Filipinos, the next step
will be tD actually recruit the labor
ers and bring them here and d'strl
bote them among the plantations.
The planters have been led to look
into the possibilities of a supply o
labor f,rom the Philippines by reason
Gigeit- Co.
Honolulu, T. H.
ol the fact that the source of the
great labor supply of the past ten or
twelve years Japan has been a
failing source for some time. Though
the immigration hither of Japanese
has, with some fluctuations, been con
tinuous and very large, within the
past three or four years the emigra
tion of Japanese from here to the
coast has been larger than the arri-,
vals. So that there are actually
fewer Japanese on the islands now
than there hare been in the past,
and of these who came here as plan
tation laborors, many are now engag
ed in other occupations.. 'The result
has been that there is now an actual
shortage of labor for the plantations.
The shortage is not so large as yet,
but that with the advances in labor
saving devices, the crop of the islands
has not been reduced any, but has, in
fact, steadily increased. At the same
time the situation was oue that was
constantly menacing and called for
effort and action on the part of the
planters.
An additional reason for looking for
another source of supply is the fact
that the immigration hither of the
Japanese may stop at any time. Emi
gration from Japan is controlled en
tirely by the Japanese government,
and it has at different times limited
the emigration to Hawaii. There have
been some fears entertained, based
on what is known of the intentions of
the Japanese government, that at
any time Japanese immigration to
Hawaii might suddenly cease. Quite
recently there have been some very
well formulated rumors that such
would be the case.
But even if the planters were sure
of a continuous and sufficient supply
of Japanese, the fact remains that
there is growing a very strong senti
ment both here and on the mainland
against this system of Japanizing tho
islands and in favor of efforts to bring
into Hawaii people wha are eligible
to become citizens of the United
States, which the Japanese are not,
so that eventually there will be creat
ed here a stable population of Ameri
can citizens bouud by iuterest to the
soil.

Chicago, July 20. When Miss
Louise Bosworth. the nineteen-year-
old daughter of Alfred E. Bosworth,
a wealthy banker of Elgin, finished
her junior year at Wellesley College
a few weeks ago, she wrote home to
her. parents that she would not return
to Elgin this summer.
Mr. Bosworth read the letter with
. .
mingled feelings of dismay and asto-
nishment.as it also announced that the
young woman had taken a position
as waitress in a summer hotel,
Since going to Wellesley Miss Bos-
worth has acquired democratic ideas
of "life." She has seen some girls
working their way through college,
writing newspaper articles, tutoring
or waiting on table, ana she has
wondered why their lives should not
have been all work and hers all play,
Ier parents forced her to give up
the experiment, and yesterday she
returned to Wellesley.
It is whispered among her class
mates that she intend to write a
book next year and include in
some chapters out of her own life.
Morgan Victim
Of This Forger,
New York, July 20. A cable to
the Eagle from London says: The
Italian Government has applied to
the Foreign Office for the papers
relating to the case in which J. Pier
lion t Morgan was swindled out of
1 150,000 by means of forgeries alleg1
ed to nave been committed by an
Italian count. The forgeries' were
committed three years ago. The
count s hat and coat were found on
the deck of a channel steamer, giving
rise to the belief that he committed
suicide. It was reported later, how
ever, that he had been seen in Egypt.
Apparently, the Italian authorities
have now located him, but tho im
pression here that any prosecution
is likely to be a farce, as the three
year limitation statute existing in
iiaiy win preveui. a penuuy ueing

lived iu tho best society. Morgan did
not eventually lose his money, as the

New York, July 20. Alfred M.
King, 31 years old, who described
himself as a "bookmaker," living at
the Cadillac Hotel, and Elizabeth
McDettie. 23, charged with the rob
bery of $50,000 worth of jewels from
Mrs. Halsey Corwin on July 15th,
were held in the Tombs Police Court
today in $5000 bail for examination.
Mrs. McDettie was arrested last night
at Shepshcad Ray, and the detectives
got King this morning at the Cadil
lac. Mrs. McHettie says she is the
wife of a California millionaire. It is
understood she was formerly known
as Miss May Bonner of Los Angeles.
She is well known in the New York
tenderloin. King says he fell in love
with her out West and brought her
to New York. King is an ex convict.
He was one time proprietor of a cafe
in Pari9. He also has been posing
as manager for Joe Cans, the negro
pugilist..
Mrs. Halsey Corwiu is the wife of
tVe young son of the former Control
ler of Brooklyn. Corwin has spent
all his money on his wife, and is now
poor. She usually spends her sum
mers at Newport. In point involved
the persons concerned and circum
stances surrounding it, this robbery
of $50,000 worth of jewels promises
to live long in the annals of New
York criminology. Mrs. Corwin has
attended a party given in .her honor
in the appartments of Mrs. Mould at
the Glentuore Hotel. Everybody at
the party, about forty in number,
drank heavily, and at its conclusion
I at 2 o'clock in the morning Mrs.
Corwin went to the room of Mrs.
McBettie. She unloaded her jewels,
placed them on the mantelpiece and
went to bed. When she awakened
later in the day. the jewels had van
ished. The police think they have
been shipped out of the United
States.
Liquor Row Still
Keeps Up.
The Waimea liquor license row has
had two new developments. One
was a new affidavit charging J. A
Akina with queer work in getting
signatures to the protest against the
Kauai Wine and Liquor Company's
application, and the other was the
resignation of C. B. Hall as the man
ager of the latter company; fhe
resignation was made known to
Treasurer Campbell, with news that
A. E. Harris had succeeded him
This removes the objection that Erst
held up the company's application,
t . . . . . . . ...
the obiection having been that a
license should not Issue to the com
pany while Hall, who was convicted
on account ol a supply or liquor to a
minor in the company's place, was
still president.
I The new affidavit is from one of
the purported signers ot the protest
against the company's appication.
The deponent sets forth that he was
invited to Akina 8 bouse ana that
Akina discussed with him the matter
of a job as luna on Wahiawa Sugar
Company's plantation, saying that
the plantation was very short of
lucas and that there was a chance
for him. Akina promised him a job,
but never got it for him. After this
it statement, deponent says that he
has been informed that his name is
on the Kauai Wine and Liquor pro
test, which Akina circulated, but
that he never placed it there nor did
he ever authorize it to be placed
there.
