A CLEVER SWINDLER
HONOLULU MERCHANTS De
FRAUDED OUT OF A
LARGE SUM.
The Swiudier Took Passage
by the Oceanic Tuesday
Under an Assumed
Name.

The sole topic of conversation on
the streets yesterday was the dis
appearance of a person known as
Joseph Frank Won Berg. This in
dividual with the high sounding
title came here some three months
ago from Australia. He was ac-
companied by a woman and child.
Shortly after arriving the couple
domiciled themselves in a
cottage on Beretania street,
which was rented from Mr.. Hoting.
In order that they might exist
in the atmosphere of luxury of
which they claimed they had
formerly been used to they pro-
ceeded to c. f. Williams furniture
store where quite an amount of high
class furniture was secured on
monthly rental. Among other
things secured from this firm was
a piano. Ordway q Porter was
next visited, where another lot of
furniture was procured, on a writ
ten lease after outright credit
had been refused. Between
the two furniture stores the
couple managed to fit up their
dwelling in a luxurious manner.
After furnishing the house, Mr..
Won Berg started out to do the
town up, and from all reports he
did so in good style.
Being somewhat of an invalid in
appearance his first move was to
hire a horse and team from the
Pantheon stables. He used this
for some time and paid a small
amount on account. 1t would re-
quire several columns of space to
describe the manner and move
ments of this gay gentleman dur
ing his short sojourn in Honolulu.
1t can be said Of him that he made
no distinction in the premises, de-
frauding every one alike. He
would 90 into one store and pur-
chase lot of goods and pay cash
for them. During the next few
days he would come into the same
store and want to negotiate note
for sums ranging as high rs
$4,000. Messrs. Lewis e Co, re-
fused such q request. AS far as
can be ascertained Won Berg de-
frauded the merchants of Homo
lulu out of some $500 worth of
goods, and one business establish
ment is said to have cashed note
for the affable German.
Two or three days ago Mrs. Won
Berg went to the custom house and
procured a passport for Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard. She stated that her
husband was an invalid and could
not come himself. The same story
was told at Hackfeld's, where she
purchased two tickets for San Fran
cisco. The couple and child sailed
by the Oceanic on Tuesday, and
are now far out of reach of the vic
timized Honolulu merchants.
Won Berg is described as tall,
slim person, with an emaciated ap-
pearance. He is said to have been
a victim of the morphine habit,
using the drug hypodermically.
The people of Honolulu have
suffered severely during the past
several years through extending ia
vors to strangers, and this is but an
other result of their accommodating
mode of doing business.

Denounced Labor Strikes.

At the Trades Union Congress at
Belfast, Samuel Money, the new
president, said that trade unionism
was destined to be an honored in
strument in freeing Ireland from
the terrible incubus of religious
bigotry and political intolerance.
He denounced strikes as a criminal
folly in all cases where the re-
sources of civilization have not
been exhausted in efforts to avoid
the use of such extreme measures.

OF which have spoken before, but recently
there has been an unusually large demand

The chemsettes are of white linen, duck

were very narrow and were set at intervals
