Kauai Troops Now
in Fort Armstong
The Kauai contingent of the Nation
al Guard is now in camp at Fort Arm
strong, Oahu. The final orders lor
embarkation arrived last Wednesday,
and were to the effect that tho bat
talion be prepared to embark on tho
S. S. "Kllauea" at Port Allen on Sat
urday, June 8th, at 4 o'clock p. m.
Company I, from Kealia, left their
armory Friday morning and was trans
ported'to Eleolo, where they went into
camp.
Companies K, of Llhuo, L, of Maka
well and M, ot Waimea occupied their
camps until Saturday morning, when
they broke camp and were transported
to Port Allen by rail and motor trucks.
Tho boys received a great send-off at
Port Allen. Tho Lihue band was in
attendance, and hundreds of civilians,
representing every walk in lifo were
there to bid them God speed.
Kauai is proud ot her battalion, in
both olficers and men, and is satisfied
that they will give a goo account of
themselves in whatever capacity thoy
are required to act.
After being out about tw nty min
utes the jury in tho case of Fujil.
Tokumatsu, Mlyasawa Fuktto (alias
"Whiskey") and Takahnsa Tomojl.
three .lapanes hold for tho murder of
Chang Chin, a Korean,' at Kealia,
returned a verdict of not guilty.
Tho verdict seems to be a popular
one, ns the case had not proceeded
far when it becamb very evident that
the Korean witnesses for tho prose
cution wore perjuring themselve.i
The killing took place at Kealia on
April 30th, last, and Fuji! Tokumatsu
Was arrested for tho crime The
grand jury failed to find a true bill
on account of a lack of evidence so
the case was dropped. Later tho
grand jury secured more evidence
and asked to have the case reopened.
This time three men were Impli
cated Fujii Tokumatsu, Mlyai.awa
Fukuzo and Takahaso Tomeji.
Attornoy Fred Patterson represent
ed tho Territory and A. G. Kaulukou
appeared for the defense.
On account of the fact that Attorney
Patterson and court stenographer
Ahana wero called in tho guard, tho
case was rushed through by holding
night sessions.
Tho Korean was killed by blows de
livered with a broken bottle which
severed tho arteries on his left side
just under the arm. Other wounds
wore made on the left side of tho face
and at the back of the head near the
base of tho skull.
The witnesses for tho prosecution
claimed that the defendants called the
Korean Into a room and, after some
words Fujil picked up a bottle and
stepping behind, the Korean, dealt him
a blow on tho back of tho head, which
knocked him to the floor. Then
while one kicked him, tho others show
ed him into another room, and Fujil
struck him repeatedly with tho broken
bottle in tho left side, inflicting tho
wound which caused death.
It is claimed the Japanese then took
the Korean outside and that Mlyasawa
Fukuzo struck him repeatedly with a
hoe.
Tho location of tho wounds on the
doad man, and tho manner In which
the blows were delivered that caused
them as testified to by the witnesses
for the prosecution, did not tally as
the position of tho wounds plainly
showed that thoy were caused' by
blows coming from the side, which
could not happen if tho blows were
delivered as witnesses testified.
Attornoy Kaulukou, for the defense,
called witnesses to prove that the
dead man had been of a quarrelsome
and vicious disposition, that ho was a
largo and powerful man and was fre
quently in trouble. It was proven to
tho satisfaction of judge and jury that
tho Korean had forced a fight upon
Fuji! and had grabbed him by the
throat with his left hand. It was then
Fuji! delivered the blows, in self de
fense, which caused tho death of his
adversary.
Tho defendant "Whiskey", who 13
accused of striking tho Korean with
a hoe, came forward with a perfect
alibi. It was proven- that- he was
drunk and in his bed, asleep, at the
time of tho (rouble.
It is quite likely that charges of
perjury will bo preferred against tho
Korean witnesses.

manner in which they give it
brings it home to us in a way
that we shall not soon forget.

Churches Observe
Childrens Day:
In common with tho customo ad
opted generally on the Mainland,
tho Lihuo Union Church observed
last Sunday, being tho second Sun
day In June, as Children's Day.
The church was beautifully deco
rated for tho occasion with potted
plants, bauhlnia, and great masses
of pink shower, in tho midst of which
a anary bird was enshrined and
which entered into the spirit of tho
occasion with timoly bursts of song.
Two little babies made their first
public appearance in tho baptislmal
service and conducted themsolves
most modestly and demurely. Two
members of tho Sunday School wero
received into church membership
with appropriate services.
Tho children's program was one of
more than usual interest, including
children's songs and recitations, somo
of them in groups, somo as duets and
solos; all very effectively and in
telligently rendered. As usual, the
smaller children wero most appeal
ing and won tho moBt favor.
A novel feature was tho scripturo
presentation, In character and cos
tume, of tho healing of tho lamo man
at tho Beautiful Gate of tho Tomple,
and tho restoration of Dorcas, tho
first Red Cross worker tho latter
being in soveral scenes, tho story be
ing sot forth by a narrator. Tho
children entered into theso scenes
with interest and enthusiasm and
rendered them very well.
Tho whole affair wont off very
smoothly and was creditable to all
concerned.

To tho Kauai County Committee

Besides working through regular

In isolated camps during the experi

part of the Filipinos and tho need for
It was felt so keenly by a few indi

In adapting Association work to
Kauai needs we have had tho co
operation of tho pastors, educators.

managers. Tho supervision given
