A DARING attempt at burglary was
committed on Sunday morning at the
Hotel. Two ladies occupy one room
and, shortly before four O'Clock, one of
them was aroused by feeling mans
hand npon her. She Immediately
screamed, the man got behind the bed
and was subsequently seen, by both
ladies', escaping through one of the doors
of the room, he ran along the corridor
and disappeared. The object of the
unwelcome visitor was doubtless to
secure some valuable diamonds which
the lady keeps in pockets in a flannel
jacket that she wears every night. The
jewels are now in safe keeping and the
police are on the trail of the thief. Such
an attempt has never before occurred in
Honolulu.
