left with the men magazines and pa
pers, which they were eager to re-
ceive. Through these agents we have
been able to inform them that there

that it was built for their use, and that
the beneficent people who we're inter
ested enough in their welfare to erect
so beautiful home for them are anX-
ious that they should make use of it's
comforts. Six hundred accepted our
invitations, thirty-two of these were
sent to the Home by the different

ed our expectations. Five thousand
and sixteen magazines were distribut-
ed among the vessels, not counting.

BROKE INTO HIS EMPLOYERS
HOUSE.
Wata Nabc Found in the Girven Home
at Midnight-Arrested by His Mas
ter and Marched to Jail.

Wata Nabe, formerly a trustworthy
Japanese servant in the employ of
James w. Girven, secretary of the Chi
nese Immigration Bureau, is locked up
at the police station.
He broke into his employers home
on Nuuana avenue last night, and was
caught red handed. He is believed TO
be guilty of bad intentions, and it is
more than likely that he will be de-
ported from the country.
The Girvens retired at about their
usual hour last night. Shortly after
/ o'clock this morning the Is year old
daughter of Secretary Girven was awa-
kened by "a noise in her room. She
sprang out of bed and turned on the
light in time to see Wata Nabe re-
treating from her room.
Mr.. Girven was aroused by this time
and he Immediately instituted a
search about the house and premises
for the Japanese. He failed to find
him and feeling confident that NVata
Nabe would return to his own quart
ers shortly, he lay i'm wait for him
in the shade of one of the trees in
the yard.
1t was but few minutes before
Wata Nabe accompanied by another
japanese came up Nuuanu and ent-
cred the yard. Wata Nabe said that
he had brought his friend to plead fol
him. He was very sorry for having
broken into the house. But Mr.. Civ
en- would listen to none of his entrea
toes and at the point of pistol he
marched them both to the police sta
tion.
Wata Nabe has been in the employ
of Mr. Girven for over year. He has
always been regarded as a faithful
and honest servant.
