- cent for British lines and 30 per cent " JAPANESE DENY - HAWAIAN MENAGE Consul General at Honolulu Hits Report of Labor Commission. SEES NO DOMINATION Declares Number of Countrymen on Islands Has Been Decreasing. By the Associated Press. HONOLULU, T. H, January 26— Commenting upon the report of the Labor Commission, issued at Washing- ton, on the labor conditions in the Hawaiian Islands, the Japanese con- sul general, Yamazaki, denied that Japanese were a menace to the island, or were threatening political or com- merciai domination of the territory. Points to Decrease. ‘It is true” said he, “that about 40 per cent of the island’s population are Japanese, but of the Japanese population of approximately 110,000 about half were born in the territory and are Americans by birth as weil as education. “It is a significant fact that the number of Japanese residents in Hawail has been gradually decreas- ing in recent years owing to the return @f some of them to Japan. In view of these facts it is misleading 10 say that they are increasing by rapid strides and will dominate the territory. It will be a long time be- fore the so-called Japanese can count for anything here." Governor Gratified. Gov. Farrington sald that he was gratified with the labor commission's report. He sald that “the citizens in this part of the United States ap- preciate the vital necessity of giving adequate authority to the President and Secretary of Labor to deal promptly with any situation that ob- viously calls for adjustment.” — SHOW GAINBY U.3.

By the Assustated Press. TOKIO, January 26.—There is' no necessity for anxiety that competition is being started between the United States and Japan in the construction of auxiliary warships, Premler Kato told the upper house of the dlet, in replying to an interpellation. ‘Both powers, he added, would al- ways respect the spirit of the Wash- ington conference. "The government's plan for the re- placement of warships, the premier said, was a matter for future consid- eration. He said Japan had adopted the 10,000-ton class cruisers because war had demonstrated that the lighter cruisers were of little avail. —_— The San Francisco Industrial Asso- olation reports that apprentice plas- terers taught in the voucational echool perated by the association are in steady demand at from $4.50 to 38 & day. RUSSIAN REFUGEE SHIP IS REPORTED W WRECKED 2 Manila Hears Veuel Lost Off Coast of Formosa—Seven Held in Quarantine. By the Asscciated Press. MANTLA, January 26.—One ship of the divided fleet of Russian ships, carrying anti-bolshevik refugees from Viadivostok, been wrecked off the coast of Formosa, according to an unverified report received here. Seven ehips of the refugee fleet, fly- ing the flag of imperial Russia and commanded by Admiral Starke, the anti-soviet leader, were at Mariveles on of the Philippin ing inspection and fu- migation. Other vessels are supposed to be en route here from Formosa, while the remaining two have returned toward Shanghai or Dairen. The ships at Mariveles have aboard 500 officers and members of crews. cighty-two women and forty-seven hildren, besides nine old men, includ- ing four pricsts of the Groek Chureh. Many of the women belonged to the higher classes and apparently are un- accpstomed to the hardships that five been their lot since they fled from thelr homes. The refugees will be kept at Marl- veles until the American government disposes of them. They appear to have enough food to last several weeks, and the Red Cross already has sent them large quantities of tropical clothing. Admiral Starke said he hoped that Manila would be their last port of call. "He added that he thought he would be able to sell the vessels here. Whether the exiles can give a clear title to the ships, however, is ques- tioned, as it is believed in some quar- ters that the soviets will claim them. NEW Y., .
