A DARING YOUNG SNEAK THIEF,
He Snatched Mrs. A. N. Towne's
Money Box.
Over q Thousand Dollars of Coin in
the Receptacle.
The Lady's Screams Attracted Pedes-
trians Who Succeeded in Captur-
ing the Crook--He Halls
from Los Angeles

BY the Associated Pressl
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. LA daring at
tempt was made to rob Mrs. A. N.
Towne at the Office of the California
State Woman's hospital, on Sacramento
street, between Lyon and Baker streets,
this afternoon. A sneak thief entered
the Office and snatched box containing
$1072 in coin from Mrs. Towne, who is
president of the institution. The fellow
dashed out of the door with the money,
but the lsdy's screams attracted the at
tention of pedestrians outside who pur-
sued the criminal, effected his capture
and recovered the stolen money.
At the city prison the thief (gave the
name of Jacob Reinhardt and said he
was cigar-maker by occupation and
had come from Los Angeles but two
days ago. He is smooth-faced young
fellow and rather good looking. He is
very dark complexioned. He was we'll
dressed but had no money in his pock-
cts. He said he was but 20 wears of
age and was from Salt Lake City, where
his relations now reside.
Today was payday at the hospital and
large amount of money had been taken
to the Office with which to meet bills
and pay the wages of the employees.
This fact had probably come to the
knowledge of the thief and he had
planned the robbery which was 30 near
ly successful.

The Dominion Wants Hawaii to Remain
Independent.
OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 1.-Senator Nc
Lean tonight asked parlisment whether
the Canadian government had pressed
upon the imperial authorities the vital
interest Canada had in the maintenance
of the political independence of the
Sandwich islands, now in state of rev.
olution, and which formed a section in
the British cable system, and for the
annexation of which islands a motion
was now pending before the United
States senate. Sir John Thomp-
son replied that communications
had passed between the Brit
ssh and American authorities
in recent years in regard to tine import
Ance of the Hawaiian islands as possi-
BILE station in connection with the tele-
graphic service and Canadian interests,
which were involved in the independ-
ence of the country. Respecting the
recent movement there no correspond
enee had passed between Canada and
her msjesty's government, partly be-
cause the latter was we'll aware of the
Importance of the interests involved,
and partly because, as he had reason to
understand, her majesty's government
was alive to the Importance as regarded
Canadian and other interests OF the
empire in those islands.

THE MECHANICS, LIEN LAW.
An Important Decision Made by the
Supreme Court.

An Important Decision Made by the
Supreme Court.
SAN Francisco, Feb. III. s. Mills Of
Pasadena brought an action against the
yerna Land company of Los Angeles to
enforce an asserted lien under the me-
chanics' lien law. The court below sus-
tanned the general demurrer to the
complaint and judgment was rendered
for the defendants. The supreme court
today sustained the lower court. In it's
opinion the supreme court says:
''The question is not whether lien
for work or materials can be assigned or
would pass under assignment of debt
secured, but whether a laborer or mate
rial man can assign his mere right to
assert and create lien by complying
with the statutory nrovisions and clothe
the assignee with power to create lien
for himself. We are satisfied that he
cannot"
This question has never been here
tofore determined in this state.
The court also says: sit is argued
that it would be q construction bene-
fetal to the laborer to hold that he could
sell or raise money upon his mere per-
sonal inchoate right to procure lien,
but the legislature may not have thought
that it would be advantageous to the
laborer (for whose benefit the law was
originally passed) to allow him the priv
ilege of frittering away his wages at a
ruinous discount to money lenders and
spectators. At all events the court can
neither make nor amend the statute.
The law must be enforced as we find it
enacted.v

broken machinery, which has caused

In case he refuses, the commissioners

'iIf we fail to get our claims before

Thurston, "that the natives of Hawaii

lit is thus: The English are working
