had been all the while at the Pacific
Fertilizer Works at Kalihi. Upon see
ing the notice of Mr.. Levy's disappear

the works telephoned the station
house that the missing man was
there. Two officers were sent out and
accompanied Mr.. Levy to the police
Marshal Brown. after which he was
sent home.
AS he appeared Tuesday night Mr.
Levy was the picture of man dis
tracted by business worry. He SAID
he had been pressed by his creditors
so much that he could stand it no
longer, and sought relief out of town.
The idea struck him Monday morning
to go to Kalihi and he arrived at the
works about 10 o'clock.
That day he stayed around the mill
and spent the night with the enginee.'
Next day, Tuesday, he was around the
mill again and was to have spent last
night at the book-keeper's house. He
expected to remain at the mill until
something turned up with respect to
his business, be it good or bad
