George R. Carter Lodges Red
)t Protest in Open Letter
to Argonaut
VFormer Governor George R. Carter
h lodged with the Immigration de
. partment at San r'rancteco a red hot
protest asalnxt the treatment of W1I
helmina passengers by a San Francis
co Imralfratlon cfflcUl.
His letter of protest was sent as an
open letter to the San Francisco Argo
naut and -lie baa also aent a copy to
the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce.
' Here it the letter:
San Franciaco, Oct 4. 1917.
"An Open Letter to the Crucial In
charge of the Immigration Depart
ment. San Francisco, California.
"Dear Sir: , '
; If I knew, your name I would, of
course, one It. Even without it, permit
me to advise you that I was a passen
ger on the steamer Wllhelmina. voy
age 99. from Honolulu to this great
: gateway of commerce. While in the
harbor, passing the immigration of
ficials in the salon, I heard one say,
, '( want you to understand that this
is San Francisco not Hawaii. Ilia
voice sounded so like a little man
, with big authority that I stopped to
. observe the scene.
"There were only three culprits left
standing before this wise judge the
woman so gruffly addressed seemed
Pjiiexed-she had with her lour
clean, well dressed boys. It appears
that she was a Tjx-tuguese whose hus
band was dead and - sha had alone
brought up these fine looking boy.
The second was a Japanese youth
with a permit to land in his posses
slon. Issued by your colleague, from
your department of this Government,
in Honolulu. The third was a para
Ixzed seaman of the very steamer we
were on who, as the purser explained.
was stricken while at Honolulu, and
under the law the ship could not go
to sea without Its quota of able sea
. men, so this man was . discharged
there and another engaged,. and the
Marine Hospital service had taken
care of him and was sending him back
to the Hospital here all three of
these were held up guilty of trying to
. enter this great city. Your subordl
nate, instead of meeting one case at a
time, vibrated between them like a
lost dog. The seaman was then ack
cd to explain his case, 'Were you ever
sick before V (Who has ; not been
-.sick?) He told his story with slm
plicity, jitill standing supported by a
cane 'and the 'Judge' left him stand
ing there and back he jumped to the
woman's - case. . 'Where - were your
boys bornr. 'In "Honolulu, came the
'. answer. 1 And' after consultation your
representative appeared to conclude
- that he would eventually send the
wouian to the island, she being an
illiterate.. The boys he said he could
do nothing with and they would prob
ably have .to be set free In the city,
The woman's face was a study what
could she do thus separated? .And
'where would , her .boys go?' leaving
her to. ponder,' the official turned to
the; Japanese: 'When did you arrive in
.Hawaii -Answer, 'Five years ago.'
'Did you have a passport?' - Yes.'
Where is It?' 'In my trunk. 'Get
it" And the youth disappeared. Then
. turning to the seaman, more wise
questions are asked and finally It was
- suggested, as the man tottered, that
he had better sit down. ; : .

of the service.

(VThe night before on that very car
pt 6.5 passengers had raised $1165.50
for the - American Red Cross War
Fund, and standing there, I seemed to
be bewildered. Was this, after all. an
American ship? Had we sailed from
an American port? Were we under
the American flag? And were we
American passengers? While thinking
thus, back came the Japanese with
'his passport. After your official had
examined it, with hesitation he finally
asked the student to translate that
portion printed in Japanese, which Is
also reproduced In English and this he
did quite readily. :: '. . - '
"May I be pardoned tor my Intru
sion, but at this point I could not help
saying to your appointee that Hawaii
w-as a part of the United States of
America' and our constitution pro
vided that there can be nothing to
prevent the free passage of people
' frora one portion, to another of our
great Union, nor can there be any
restriction of commerce and that per
haps a damage suit in ' the ' courts
t would be necessary before the of
ficials realized that we had a consti
tution. Still amazed, I left them, join
Ins my family, already recognizing
friends on the wharf. XowJ want to
ask yon if this Is the treatment ac
corded to passengers on steamers en
tering this port from Puget Sound or
Portland? x ,
; Permit me to state that no matter
what reception you accord us, we Ha

what right do you - demand to know
our age, ? date of birth , : and where
born? ,Wfc$n Hawaii was annexed we

AH persons keeping rabbits or Bel
gian hares in the territory of Hawaii
must hereafter secure permits from
the board of agriculture and forestry,
a rule to this effect being passed Mon-
dajr by that body. The purpose of the
nil is to regulate the keeping of
these animals and prevent their
spreading so as to become a pest.
A reception will be given at the
Country club on the evening of Mon
day, November 18, In honor of United
States Senator Harding, the Buckeye
Club being the host The club, which
already, has a . large membership,
wants to get all Ohio men listed be
fore the senator arrives. George An
drus, secretary of the club, and who
may be found at the Army and Navy
T, wishes that all men of the army and
navy and civilians generally; send in
their names to him at once, the only
proviso being that they consider them
selves "Ohio men." .
Those .members of the Women's
Auxiliary of the Outrigger Canoe club
who have not yet sent the return pos
tal to the secretary, Mrs. W. A. Wall,
are requested to do so at once. This
postal Is in answer to the invitation
extended, the members of the Wo
men's Auxiliary, to attend the Hallow
e'en entertainment to be gived the en
listed men at the Outrigger Canoe
club Wednesday evening. As 250 men
are expected for this entertainment.
It is very necessary for the success of
the evening that all the ladies of the
auxiliary who have received this invl
tation accept. If possible. '

39th BIRTHDAY
Yoshihito Will Review Army
and Receive U. S. Ambassa

Observe Day
TOKiO, Japan. Oct. 30. A grand
military review s to be siven tomor
row mornfrtg at the Yojogi parade
ground. Tokio. in honor of Emperor
Yoshihito, the occasion being the 29th
birthday anniversary of Jain's ruler.
All the forces of the Emperor's
bodyguard division and the 1st divis
ion, Japanese army, will march in ra
rade before the emperor.
The emperor is quite a busy man
these days. This morning he received
Mr. Roland S. Morris, the new United
States ambassador, at the imperial
palace. The presentation by Ambas
sador Morris of his credentials was
marked by solemn court ceremonies.
Mrs. Morris, wife of the ambassa
dor, made her formal visit to the pal
ace this morning with her husband to
lay her first respects to the empress.
She was cordially received by her
majesty.
The emperor and empress, on No
vember 5, are to depart for Kyoto, the
ancient capital of Japan. Their maj
esties are tp be away from Tokio for
two weeks.
During the stay in Kyoto the em
peror will go to the Shiga prefecture
for four days to take personal com
mand in the annual military maneu
vers to be held there.
The customary naval review in
honor of the emperor's birthday anni
versary, which was to have been held
off the Yokohama harbor, was called
off this year for the reason that many
naval vessels now operating in thfe
Mediterranean, South Atlantic and In
dian waters are unable to participate.
FROM DROUGHT
(Srcil Sur BoUetio Correpndft)
H1LO. Oct. 26. Althouga rumors of
the bad state of affairs ' along the
Hamakua coast line have reached HIlo
from time to time it takes a trip
along that line to bring fully to any
body's mind the trae significance of
the terrible drought and its effect on
the cane at many of the plantations.
From Papaaloa to Kukuihaele, the
scene is a painful one. The first
named plantation does not look In
such very bad condition. The cane is
burned somewhat but there is plenty
of gTeen to e seen. At Ookala it s
about the same, but, from that place
on. the loss is terrible. Cane tbat'-s
located above the irrigation ditch is
dead. Not shriveled and dry looking
but dead and done. Hundreds of
The 39th birthday anniversary of
Yoshihito, Japanese emperor, will be
celebrated throughout he Territory
by the Japanese.
Consul General Mr. Rokuro Morol
of Japan will give a reception tomor
row afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock at
the Japanese consulate on Nuuanu
street to the Japanese as well as
Americans of the city, among the lat
ter being included the federal, terri
torial and municipal officials. The of
ficers of the army and navy are also
Invited by Mr. Moroi.
The customary banquet and ball
which were to have been given by Mr.
Moroi at the Young Hotel has been
called off.
The community celebration of the
day will be held tomorrow at the
Tokiwa-en ground, Nuuanu street,
beginning at 1 o'clock. This is to be.
given under the auspices of the Japa
nese community. Every Japanese who
pays $1 for a badge will be admitted
with his family. Speeches, geisha
dancing and wrestling will be included
In the program.
A congratulatory message will be
sent tomorrow to the minister of the
imperial household in Tokio .to be read
to the emperor. The message will be
forwarded in name of the Japanese
residents in Hawaii. '
Tomorrow is generally a holiday for
the Japanese and the Nipponese la
borers on various plantations through
out the'islands take a day of rest.
acres of cane have been destroyed
and not a pound of sugar will come
next year from those acres. There is
no possibility of the cane being; ? re
vived, even If , tremendous rains felL
This refers to many sections of tb
plantations along the line. The maxai
fields are all right because of the irri
gation but the maul cane Is pau.
The sight is a very painful one even
to outsders. As to what the managers.
Stockholders and employes of the
plantations think, the least said the
better. It is heartbreaking and that
is all there Is to 1L
Hamakua has suffered the most
severe drought since cane was first
planted out that way and the loss will
be very heavy. Cane that was intend
ed for next year's crop is being har
vested now. That will save something
but a tremendous amount of the cane
is not nearly ready to cut and this is
dead or dying.
The sight cannot bo duplicated any
where and men who have been in
touch with cane growing in many
parts of the world declare that they do
cot believe that anything of the kind
has ever happened elsewhere.
