Show SENSATION IN HONOLULU. Japanese Would Wrest Control of Affairs in Islands from the Whites. Honolulu. Seventeen Japanese, leaders in the strike of the Japanese plantation laborers, of whom about 8,000 are out, were indicted by the grand jury late Saturday afternoon on charge of having conspired to incite disorder in the Hawaiian 'islands. This action promptly followed the somewhat sensational disclosures of Friday, when a search of the offices of the Higher Wage association and the Japanese newspaper, Jiji, by the authorities, revealed incendiary letters, let-ters, reports and other correspondence tending to show that a conspiracy was in prospective formation among certain cer-tain Japanese to wrest the control of affairs in the islands from the whites. |
