The police are investigating a myster-
ious robbery which occurred yesterday
morning in the Winchester House at %
Third street. Several days ago y. F.
Fuller and wife arrived here from the In
terror and rented apartments in the
house. Fuller had two packages OF bills
one containing $1700 and the other $500.
Before retiring for the night he placed
the packages in his inside coat pocket and
hung the garment on the bed post.
On arising yesterday morning he at
once searched his coat, and was astound-
ed to find that the precious packages
were gone. He Immediately awakened
his wife. and together they searched the
room for the missing greenbacks. Fuller,
suspecting that the thief had climbed
through the window of their room, thor
o1lghly examined the fire. escape in the
hope of obtaining clew to the culprtt.
While looking down the fire escape he es-
pied the package containing $500 on the
iron platform of the story below. lie
quickly secured the money and at once
notified the, proprietor OF the house OF the

senior, and after brief courtship they
were married: The ceremony was per
formed ON the high seas and caused SEN

Last night Fuller visited police head
quarters and reported his loss to Captain
Bohen.
After listening to the story, the head
of the detective department detailed De
tectives Dinan and Reynolds to make a
thorough investigation. of the robbery
They lost. no time in visiting the house
and interviewing Mrs. Fuller. She en-
phatically denied knowing anything about
the robbery, except what her husband had
tnld her .--.- -.
Fuller, it is said, is inclined to believe
that his wife knows more about the rob

shortly after o'clock on the morning Of
the theft he was awakened by his wife
getting out of bed.
Not thinking anything of the occurrence
he Immediately fell asleep and did not
awaken until. several hours later.
The detectives who are investigating the
robbery are convinced that the thief after
securing the packages, threw them ont

evidently standing on the: sidewalk. IN
tossing the. packages, which contained
$1500 III bills, the thief in the excitement

A QUESTION IF THEY CAN HOLD

Property Was Taken UP Under the
United States Land Laws,
Which May Not Be in

HONOLULU. June 23-About thirty
citizens Of the United States and resid-
ing iii, the islands for some time past have
deCided::t0 find out the status of the lane
laws of Hawaii. and test the sections o1
the NeWlands resolution applying to thest
laws. These men form one or two OF the
numerous. settlement associations apply
ing for land in the new tract in Olaa. anG
they have gone: about the matter II
boomer. style. g" q:
They each believe that they have th(
right to squat" on quarter section Of
unoccQpied Government land anywhere or
the islands. but as the Olaa tract has peer
surveyed in lots of fifty acres each, the!
consider 1t better to take UP three of those
regularly prescribed lots, making 15t
acres, than to haggle over the additiona
ten acres and make a mistake al to tht
corner posts. ....
The first move was made on Sunday, the
11th inst, when twelve squatters went or
the land, selected their. lots and erected
shacks. To-day there may be double thai
number. The houses are of wood, GOV
cred with heavy duck. and are thoroughly
Waterproof The new tract looks moro
like new mining camp that has not beer
advertised than forest jungle. Furni,
ture and cooking utensils are being: mOveC
in and the squatters are ready for busi
ness and will proceed to fit all the. re.
quirements of the United States lanc
laws. They have employed a firm of at
torneys to defend their rights, and one
member: of the firm will probably go tC
Washington at the next session of Con
gress to assist In securing the protection

With respect TO the above President
Dole said
u he alleged squatters have not a scin
til1a of.a show Of holding the land. The
Newlands resolution is explicit on tbs
point of the pubic lands OF Hawaii Until
special land legislation is enacted by Con
gress-if indeed it ever is-Hawaiian laws
apply TO. oil lands. in the republic.
These people probably hope to hold The
land until after Congress assemblies Ir
that even, they will be disappointed, fol
the Government has already decided, and
is preparing 10 open the tract in ques-
ton. In a few weeks the land will be
opened in the regular way under the Ha-
waiian laws. If the present squatters, az
they are called, take 1t UP under the
rules, why; I suppose they are as wei
come to il as any one else. But should
they fail to do SO they will be hustled out
of the tract That is all.
