TWO MEN WERE PLAYING AT A GAMBLING GAME Victim Died Three Days Later Officers Arrived When Funeral was About to Be Held. Deputy Sheriff Halvoraen of Walmea, Island of Kauai, who arrived in thefli G. Hall Sunday morning brought with tilm a Japanese prisoner, Kaglmura by name, who la charged with manslaugh ter and who will bo kept at Oahu Jail until the proper time arrives. Mr. Hal vorsen told the following story to a Uullctln reporter thls'raornlng: "On the night of the 12th Inst., some Japanese from Mana went up to a place" Just mauka ot the big camp and cot Into a gambling game. Thcro was liquor on the premises and, before mid night, the Japanese were In a glorious. i ly hilarious state. "The result of this was a dispute be tween Kaglmura and Salto 8anklchl, two plantation laborers, at nn early hour In the morning. One word led to Hnother until the men were ready to use their fists. Kaglmura Jumped up, grabbed a guava stick and dealt Salto h blow over the back of the head that floored him. One of the other men Jumped tn and held Kaglmura. In order to prevent him from further using the atlrk. This man and another I have tirojght down as witnesses. "ft seems that Salto was carried away to the camp where he died on the tilth Inst. The trouble having been umong Japanese, I heard nothing of the ocurrence until that day. When I got to Mana, the funeral was about to take place. I stopped the whole thing and made Inquiries. "I learned that Kaglmoto had been hiding In the cane for a couplo of days and that ho had Just returned to the camp to get his money from the plan " tatlon and about $100 which his friends had raised fortho purpose of getting him hack to Japan. An attempt was mado to conceal his whereabouts and I felt suro that, had I snooped down on the rump with a force of police, there would havo been trouble. "I finally found the supposed assailant ot Salto and got him awayv from the camp. At first, ho denied having hit Salto with a stick but said that ho had been present. Later on, ho confessed the whole thing and made a statement to mo to the effect that ho had struck the blow that resulted In Salto's death. The two witnesses who also denied any knowledge of the affair, finally admit ted that they had seen the whole thing. "Tho body of Salto was taken to Kekaha where a post mortem examin ation was held by Dr. Goodhue. It was clearly demonstrated that the Japan ese had died as a result of the blow on tho back ot tho head and this wns the verdict of the Coroner's Jury which was also held at Kekaha. Sheriff Coney was present at all the proceed ings. "flesldes the two witnesses I brought up with me, thero are four others who may be secured at any time they are wanted."

Dock Laborers- Joined ' by the Negroes of the Plantation. KAMILUI LABOR WANTS THE FULL $2 PER DAY Tennessee Immigrants Also Decide They Have a Grievance and Quit Work Japanese Are Source of Be ginning of the Trouble. Walluku. Jan. 20. A strike which has been brewing for some time among tho wharf day laborers of tho Knhulul Hallroad Company, materialized last Monday, when the 150 or more natives and Japanese refused to go to work and demanded higher wages. Tho men have been paid $1 per day In the past for day work on the wharf while those engaged loading the ves sels 1 nthe harbor were allowed $1.50 per day. Somehow tho men got wind that the captains of the merchant ves sels have, been pa) Ing tho Kahulul Railroad $2 per day for each laborer. so tho men demanded that they be paid the full $2. Tho first meeting ot the natives and Japanese was held In the drill shed In Walluku when some sixty or more men were present to listen to the harangues of their respective leaders. The native leader, named Katee, after quoting va rious passages from the Scriptures about laboring men and the necessity far unity In such an undertaking, told the men that funds had been raised so to enable tho strikers to remain Idle for several moViths, that the coffers were filled to oversowing, and that tho men need not fear being forced by the Ka hulul It. 11. Co. to starvation's gate Those present showed their approval of the speaker's remarks by cheering him and saying that they will stick together while tho funds last and that they wero determined to get the same pay as Is being paid for tho same class ot labor In Honolulu.. On Monday morning tho Walluku gang of strikers marched down In a body and Joined with the Kahulul strikers. All demanded $2 n day from Superintendent It. W. Filler. ) Mr. Filler was not a man to bo cow ed by strikers of Bitch magnitude, nnd ho flatly refused to grant what he deems a most unreasonable and unwar rantable demand on tho part of the men. Tho strikers had weighed tho matter. As thcro wero seven merchant vessels nnd tho steamer Charles Nelson In port, they thought It wns an easy mat ter to bring Mr. Filler to terms. Al though very much handlinpped by be ing short handed, Mr. Filler remained tlrm nnd unyielding. The strikers see ing that the superintendent was not ns easy ns they had anticipated, sent At torney Jas. 1.. Coke bb their spokesman to reason with Mr. Filler nnd make arrangements whereby they would get tho wages they demanded. On Monday evening, tho strikers again held another meeting In tho drill shed on which occasion Mr. Coko re ported his errand, Btatlng that Mr. Fil ler would only receive tho men at the old wages. On hearing this report, nil shouted In derision nnd hero tho matter ended on that day. While the strike Is going on, Mr. Fil ler with n gang of about fifty men load ed and despatched tho steamer Charles Nelson with sugar for San Frnnclsco last Thursday evening, and tho strlkerB are wondering how the railroad com pany was enabled to perform that with out their help.. Tho work nt tho Ka hulul landing has been going on since last Monday without a hitch. Somo of tho natlveB who find themselves In troublo havo showed their wllllnguess to return, but tho Japanese ringlead ers nro said to havo threatened to re turn to work for less than $1 per day If tho natives do not stick together with them. Mr. Filler Is willing to pay tho natives a llttlo more than tho Japs nnd Is also willing to keep all tho na tives nt that ndvanced rnto rather than employ tho troublesome Orientals. Last Thursday morning, one of the Walluku natives went to tho depot, In tending to board the train to return to Kahulul to work but was scared away by tho Japanese. Somehow the native got to Kahulul through tho sand hills and related this Incident to Mr. Filler who caused the arrest of tho Japaneso ringleader for threatening tho native. Tho caso camo up before Magistrate McKay at tho Walluku courthouso laBt Friday morning, hut the native on tho stand told a different story entirely from what ho had told Mr. Filler, denying In toto that tho Jap over In tended to do htm bodily harm, and tho caso was thrown out of court. At SIM torney Cckc defended the Japanese while Geo. lions prosecuted the case for the Kahulul Railroad Company. The negroes belonging tothe Walluku plantation have also Joined tho strik ers, and the twenty-live Tennessee la borers havo quit work since last Wed nesday. Their chief complatnt Is small pay. They claim that $15 a month Is not sufficient to keep them alive, as the cost of provisions and flrowood is very steep In Walluku. The negroes expected to get over $20 a month for' their services as field la bor, and they considered that was small enough when the cost of living Is very high. But the plantation Is not willing to paV a cent more than $15 for the first year.. The negroes will havo to bo or dered? tovnc.ito the plantation head quarters It they persist In refusing to go to work.. Some of the negroes claim that their wages have been misrepresented to them by Col, Dean, their agent, and they say It Is a good thing for Mr. Bean that he Is safe now on the briny deep. At this writing neither tho Kahulul strikers nor tho Walluku negroes have come to any understanding with their respectlvo managers, but next week may tell n different story. In the caso of the negroes most of them are pcnnllesB and cannot stand being Idle for any length of time. A. N. Kepolkal representing tho Walluku plantation, has reasoned with them, nnd they may romo to terms very shortly. Tho Knhulul strikers havo a certain fund raised among themselves for their support during tho strike period, but there Is nd ftifh thing ns a real union existing among them, tho leaders being simply lnbor agitators that aro arous ed by Impulses of tho hour. i ? :: - IE Elects of Officers and Directors This Afternoon.
