A HUNDRED-DoLLAR BILL.

LOSS and Discovery.

Interesting Incidents Surrounding It's
Loss and Discovery.
Thomas Roach, a resident of Hillsdale.
returned recently from a long absence out
side the District, and while away he had
the remarkable experience related below,
and which has been verified upon investi-
cation by Star reporter.
Roach was passing one day along one of
the streets in the southeastern part of Bal
timore, when he noticed a bright, new
treasury BILL which he took to be a ten
dollar note. lying on the pavement. He
hastily put the bill in his pocket, and, stop
ping at the first barber shop asked for a
shave and hair cut, something he had not
enjoyed for some time.
When the barber had finished his job
Roach handed him the note, at the same
time remarking, Here, give me 1919
change" The barber looked at the note,
! and saw that it was a observation-disclosures
bill 1t appeared funny to him that a
ragged fellow like Roach should have a
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES bill on his person, but
he never let on, and handed Roach 81. 75 as
his change.
Roach left with astonishing alacrity. and
was soon lost in the busy thoroughfare.
The barber was struck with the sudden
ness Of his customers retreat He looked
at the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. note once more
and as he turned il over the suspicion
duped. He speedily came to the conclusion
that the note was counterfeit, and rushed
out after police officer. He found one in
an instant The officer heard the story
glanced at the note, and he, too, made up
his mind that it was green goods. He got
good description Of Roach and started
after him.
Meanwhile. 1t came to the ears of a sa-
loon keeper in the neighborhood that his
friend the barber had been duped by a
tramp He walked in to look at the al
legged spurious note. and one glance suf-
feed to show him that it was not a coun-
terfeit, but as good a one-hundred-dollar
note as ever bore the treasury stamp.
The saloon keeper offered the barber SO
for the note. and the latter accepted, re-
marking, You can try to work 1t off, but
I don't care to try it, Just then along
came a well-known boat builder, who has a
shop in the neighborhood. He heard the
story about the barber and the tramp and
laughed.
Why" said he, ''any one can tell a
good one-hundred-dollar bill on sight. I've
got one here in my pocket"
He thrust his hand into his trousers
pocket to produce the note, but found it
was gone. At once the conclusion dawned
upon the boat builder that the tramp who
had passed the 500 on the barber had by
some means gotten possession Of his note
He started out to find the bill, and finally
located 1t at the saloon keepers
The latter refused to give up the note
unless the boat builder could tell the num-
Der Of 1t, and this he could not do. After
long argument a compromise was
reached, and the saloon keeper handed over
to the boat builder $50 and retained $50 as
his reward.

House of Representatives.

Minister Cooper announced his in
| tention to introduce a bill to provide
for the improvement of land in the
District of Honolulu deleterious to
public health, and for the creation
and foreclosure of liens to secure the
payment of the expense incurred.
Under suspension of the rules the
bill was read first time by title and
passed.
Speaker Naone announced the third
reading of House Bill No. as the order
of the day.
Rep. Haluaiani presented a petition
signed by 14S residents of the District
of Honolulu, praying that the restric-
ton made by the Board of Health, pro-
hibiting the taking Of fish in the har-
Dor of Honolulu, be removed.
Under suspension of rules Rep. Ry-
croft said that the Secretary of the
House had informed him that he had
two petitions in his possession. The
one from Eva he had been ready to
report ON the other day. The one from
N. Hilo regarding re-assessment of
homesteads could not be reported on
for the space of three weeks.
Speaker Naone explained that the
committee to whom the bill had been
referred was a standing one and con-
sequently it's time was unlimited.
Rep. Rycroft said that he only
wanted to let the House know the
committee was not neglecting its duty
Second reading of House bill No. 8
announced.
Rep. Rycroft moved for postpone
ment of reading on account of the alb
sence of Rep. Robertson, the intro
Queer
Minister Cooper explained that the
chairman of the Military Committee
had introduced a bill and the commit
tee had presented a unanimous report
Rep. Richards reported for the print
ing committee that House Bill No. 6
had not been printed yet on account of
the rush of work.
House bill No. passed second read
ing
A motion to read the bill a third |
time, on Friday, carried

expenses, came up for consideration

would be confusion if the two were con-
sidered together.
Rep. Richards said that the motion
of Minister Cooper would do very well
if it were not for certain items which
should be considered at the same time
He referred to the items on military,
police department, odorless excavator
and possibly electric lighting also.
Rep. Rycroft supported the motion
of Minister Cooper. He believed that
confusion would result from a consid-
GRAFTON at the same time of the two
bills just mentioned.
In answer to question by Rep. Win
ston, Minister Cooper answered that
new work wuold be paid for out of the
loan bill However, some of this had
been paid for out of the appropriation
for current expenses.
Minister Cooper further explained
that from the present calculations
there would be a surplus of $4,000 re-
naming after the payment of all ap-
preparations provided for in the two
bills under consideration
Rep. Richards wanted to know what
would become of the bill if the receipts
die not happen to come up to the ex-
pectation of the Government He had
heard more on the previous night
about the appropriations for Govern
ment expenses than he had during the
two years last passed. Rep. Richards
thought it would be a good plan to
read the bill section by section.
Rep. Richards withdrew his motion
on account of the absense of the other
Ministers.
Motion to postpone consideration of
the bill until another time, carried.
At 1885 Rep. Winston moved that
the House adjourn to give the various
committees time to get up quickly &C

of the ablest and perhaps fairest of

ian Served With Summons.
Julien D. Hayne, editor of the Ha-
waiian, returned from San Francisco
by the Australia on Monday, and was
served with a penal summons yester-
day. Mr.. Hayne is charged with hav-
ing committed nuisance in the last
number of his book, the offense being
contained in one or two articles re-
Injecting upon the moral character of
the missionary ladies of Honolulu. The
complaint reads:
THE said words so published as af-
oreeaid being offensive, annoying, vex-
atious and plainly hurtful to the public,
public outrage on common decency
and common morality, and tending
plainly to the corruption of the morals,
honesty and good habits of the people
and containing obscene language and
descriptions, the same being without
authority or justification by law, and
contrary to the provisions of chapter
SO Of the Penal Code"
The summons was served by Deputy
Marshal Hitchcock, and after Mr..
Hayne read it he expressed his appreci-
alton of the action of the deputy mar
shall in serving the summons instead
Of arresting him.
The editor will conduct his own case
at the preliminary hearing on Friday.
1t is understood that his defense will be
that he is not responsible for the cir
culation of his magazine on Hawaii.
The work is copyrighted in the United
States, was published there. and the Of
fee of publication is printed in the mag
azine as San Francisco. 1t is under
stood also that this entire issue of the
magazine was sold to the San Francisco,
News Co., and it was through them
dealers were supplied here. Mr.. Hayne
is citizen of the United States.
