woman" directly charging that young
Hook was the murderer. He handed the
letter to Captain Lees. 1t was also in the
same handwriting.
The story in connection wish young
Hook having been made public yesterday,
his father called at police headquarters
with him, but they failed to see Captain
Lees.

ter, said Mr.. Hook captain Lees knows
about it. My boys movements on the
night in question up to the time he went
to bed were fully and clearly explained
long ago to the satisfaction OF the captain.
The statement that he never wore his light
overcoat after the night of the murder IS
false. | would like very much to know
who the writer of these anonymous letters
is. Whoever it is must be an enemy OF
mine, who wants to be revenged upon me
or my son for some reason or other"
"There is not the slightest particle OF
evidence" said Captain Lees last night,

young Hook had any completely in the
murder of Eugene Ware. All that there

mined to find out who the writer was and

of low character, and his or her identity

long arrived at that Young Hook had abb

The captain declined to disclose the
writer's identity.
The detectives have been unable to find
the slightest clew to the real "dark-haired
woman who has figured on prominently in
the case. They feel that she, and she
alone, could tell who the murderer was.

about it, but now he was compelled to de-

That was as far as he could get with this

bright thought struck Mr.. Donahoe.
He went TO the station and paid 10 cents
for ticket to Oakland. With this he
passed into the ferry slip and began to re-
connoiter the situation from that stand
point. It was not satisfactory. His boat,
in which he had been wont TO float around
in the wilderness of piles and to punch
holes in the cement piers, was beached in
full sight, but tantalizingly out of reach.
He could see the work going forward on
the new piers, but from this point of view
could make no report upon the manner
of it.
Then the Oakland boat pulled out. Some

through the gates back to East street and
made his way directly to the office of the
HaIbor Commissioners.
1t was too early in the morning for any
of those gentlemen to be about, but Mr..
Keegan, the secretary, was there.
Now, Mr.. Keegan knew all about Mr..
Donahoe's trouble before Mr.. Donahoe did.

which he described. He asked if Mr..
Donahoe had any authority or credentials

The Commissioners told him that none had
been shown them.

So When Mr.. Donahoe entered the Office
Mr.. Keegan knew why he was there For
the Harbor Commission had agreed to sus-
tain Mr.. McMullen in his position. Indeed,
Mr.. Gray, who furnishes the cement, had
been saying something to the same effect

The room was handsomely decorated
with ferns and flowers. Miss Nutting sang
a sweet solo as the opening of the literary
exercises. G.. K. Bird followed with basso
solo and Miss Anita Taggard with vocal
music. A recitation by Miss Blossom
Nuttinger closed the programme
G. K. Bird briefly reviewed the history of
the church and at the close presented the
rector with a well filed purse reposing in
a basket of Yiolets and pansies. George
Bennett, on behalf of the young men who
have grown from boyhood to mans estate
under the rector's tuition, presented a sill
yer card, reposing in a plush case, bearing
the names of the young parishioners.
Mr.. Lion responded feelingly to both adj
dresses. The members of the congregation
crowded around the rector and his wife
and wished them long life and a happy
continuation of the pleasant relations of
the past.
Supper was served in the kindergarten
rooms on the second floor after the pre-
sentation of the gifts.
Letters and kilograms from all over the
State were received by Mr.. Lion, congrat-
ulating him upon the success he has at
tanned during his career as minister of the
gospel and the fact that he could celebrate

ministry in the same church where he

A day or two after the murder of Eugene
Ware in the st. Nicholas Pharmacy on
December IS Captain Lees received an
anonymous letter insinuating that VIII
liam Hook, son of Special Officer Harry
Hook, was the murderer. The young man
was at the time deputy in County Clerk
Haley's Office and lived with his parents
in the st. Nicholas Hotel. He was sent
for and was closely questioned by Detec-
tives Bowen and Whitaker, and afterward
by Captain Lees, and made statement of
his movements on the night of the muir

writer was actuated by malice.

When P. J. Donahoe, the expert ap-

work on the piers of the new ferry depot,
went down to the water front bright and
early yesterday morning, with his assist

the water side of East street, beyond which
the army of laborers are at work, stood
directly in the way and refused to allow
him to pass.

Popular Topics Of the Day.

Honolulu has as many machin-
lists considering the population as
any place we know Of - and
they're good machinists too, men
who can take a steel rod and with
the assistance of lathe fashion it
into parts for the most intricate
machinery for an engine. To do
this, Of course, requires a know
ledge of tools as well as the hand
ling of them.
In our store room one depart
ment contains the most complete
assortment of machinists, tools in
the city. Look at them and you
will find they are all of first
quality (the price will give you
the impression that they are
thirds) every one of them shining
like an Africans heel. The as
sortment consists of hammers-all
sizes and shapes from the cute
little one used by the jewellers to
the heavy one which the boiler
maker uses in riveting the steel
plates together. Then we have
the Handy Pipe Wrench, new
device without a fault. This tool
will be found convenient one even
in the house where none of the
occupants are machinists. Hand
vises for machinists can be had
of us in every size manufactured,
so can Pipe Vises and Cold
Chisels. We have every thing
used by metal workers in their
trade.
Then we have stock of car
penters wood working tools
second to none in the city-first
only in quality. You cannot
cali for tool used bv carpenter
that we do not have in stock.
Another thing you may be in re:
ested in is an axe that will hold
its edge-a new thing in axes and
something every one needs about
the house.
Bird cages have been mention
ed in another paper; just here VIC
will say that the stock we carry
is complete.
