THE SAN FRANCISCO VIEW.
Speculation There About the Charles f.
Moody.

The ship Charles E. Moody, Captain
Woodside, has cleared for Tacoma in
ballast. Captain Anderson, now of the
Lucille, will bring her back here with
coal.
The following was published in San
Francisco regarding the Moody on the
second of this month:
THE general impression is that the
Moody has been lost. She sailed from
Norfolk, Va, for Honolulu and was
last spoken on June 11th, degree south
of the equator. From that position she
is now out 142 days, a very bad show
ing.
Still there are some who take hope
from the fact that the vessel occupied
fifty three days on the voyage down
the equator. The usual passage is
about twenty-five days. Another fact
that is not generally known is that the
Moody has only five white men in her
crew. The remainder of the crew con-
sists of fifteen Japanese. Captain
Woodside of the Moody telegraphed
this fact the day before she sailed. The
Captain is we'll known at this port hav-
ing formerly commanded the Sintram,' -

TOOK TOILET ARTICLES

c. II. Mann, a Chinese employed by
the Hollister Drug Company is locked
up at the police station charged with
larceny in the second degree. He has
been suspected for some time of steal
ing things out of the store. Yesterday
search was made of his room, and a
large quantity of cigars, toilet articles,
tooth brushes, perfumery, soap and
that sort of thin were found there. The
charge against him in the Police Court
fixes the value of the property at $95,
but it is said that a great deal more
than this has been taken. In Police
Court this morning plea was reserved
and the case went over until tomorrow
morning. Meanwhile Mann's bonds
man surrendered him.

WAR DRAMA At ORPHEUN
BUGLEs AND BAYONETs NOT ON
THE BILL.
The Provost Guard Marches in Twenty
Strong Looking for Men Who Had
Overstayed Their Leave.

There was a military drama at the
Orpheum last night which was not on
the bill.
A little before 10 o'clock the audience
heard the strains of bugle sounding
somewhere as though it were back of
the stage, though in reality it was on
Fort street. Presently the doors of the
theater opened wide and in came pro-
vost guard of about twenty, with bay
onets fixed, looking for men from the
transports who had overstayed their
leave. They found plenty of them.
There were a good many soldiers in the
house, and most of them were long
overdue at the vessel, but had no idea
of leaving the show until it was over.
They knew what the provost guard
meant however, and there was a sour
rying of the boys in blue and the boys
in brown to make an exit without
coming in contact with the provost
guard. Few of them succeeded how
ever. The guard was well handled and
got nearly every men they were after.
All the time the bugler just outside
kept to his bugle right Justify as
though he were sounding a charge
against the enemies of his country.
The rumor that a man had been shot
on the street earlier in the evening
gave a realism to the drama that was
too much for some of the audience and
they left. The play on the stage went
on however despite the interruption.
There was considerable criticism of
the action of the provost guard in max
ing such an interruption of the perfor-
nance. The soldiers in the audience
were entirely orderly, and If they had
overstayed their leave they might have
been arrested as they came out of the
theater. The theater pays a license and
is attended by the general public, and
to interrupt the performance in the
way it was last night, it is pointed out
is an injustice to both the manage
ment and it's patrons.

DR.. SAUTON At MOLOKA|
VISIT Is MADE TO THE
SETTLEMENT.
The Noted French Expert on Tour
Around the World - DR.. Hoffman
Among the Patients.

DR.. Sauton, the noted French physt-
clan and expert on lepIosy, accom-
panied by G. B. Reynolds Of the Board
of Health and DR.. Hoffman, has just
returned from a visit 60 the leger set
tlement at Molokai. The doctor spent
several days at the settlement and it
is understood that he intends to make
use of his observations in compre-
bensive report to be made when he
reaches home, upon not only MOlUBai,
but all other similar settlements to be
seen in travelling around the world. In
the United States he inspected many
leper hospitals, and he will leave here
to continue his journey to the Orient.
The doctor paid a good deal of attcn-
tion to religious matters while at MOlo-
kai, and it was thought by some that
his visit had religious as well as a
scientific purpose, the doctor being a
devout Catholic and several Sisters
from San Francisco having arrived re-
Gently at the settlement He declines

Dr. Hoffman stated that he was very
favorably impressed with the condi-
tons at Molokai. II think the people
there are very well looked after" he
said; land that they suffer as little
as it is possible for such patients to
suffer. 1t is about an ideal place of

THIS YEARS SUGAR CROP mo LOMS LAST NIGHT PEACE At THE SETTLEMENT
TROUBLE CAUSED BY DROUGHT
sMooTHED OVER.
Agent Reynolds Holds a General Pow
Wow on Molokai and Restores Gen
eral Good Feeling-The Trouble.

Agent Reynolds of the Board of
Health returned from the Molokai set
tlement last night after having brought
about a peaceful solution of as COM
plicated a cause of trouble as ever dis
turbed the peace of any community.
Along the foot of the pail within the
settlement limits is a strip of land con-
tanning about three hundred acres,
which because it is right under the pail
receives, even in dry seasons enough
rain to keep it always green. 1t is
fenced off from the rest of the land by
a stone wall, and has been reserved for
garden plots for the people of the set
tlement. They have made very little use
of 1t, however, and in few cases have
not even conformed to the rules of the
board by registering their several plots
During the long continued drought
every other part of the settlement be-
came as dry and dusty as road, and
the stock in the settlement, both that
belonging to the Board of Health, and
that belonging to the residents, died in
large numbers. In this state of affairs,
Agent Reynolds some time ago author
lied the police and others who were
obliged to use their horses continually
to gather them in this plot to Craze,
being careful not to permit them to
destroy any garden plots.
This order and it's execution caused
no end of trouble. A committee was
formed to meet MIR. Reynolds on his ar
rival last week to protest. The commit
tee insisted that the Board of Health
had no rights in that particular plot,
and wanted all sorts of recompense for
the use that had been made of it. Mr..
Reynolds met the committee, explained
the situation to them, and told them
that the board not only had rights, but
that the people in the settlement had
no rights unless they conformed to the
rules of the board. Finally the matter
was adjusted to the satisfaction of all,
and peace was restored to the commun-
| ity.

The words dried the freely flowing
tears which Charlie Kikili had i'm vain
tried to stop by using his cap for a
handkerchief. Charlie was before the
District Court on a charge of truancy.
The truant officer said that though he
was six years old he had never been to
school. He admitted however, in an
swer TO question by Judge Wilcox,
that he had never notified the parents
to send Charlie TO school. The Judge
thought the parents ought to be noti-

sTAR-GAZERS AGAIN WATCH IN
VAIN,
Professor Ingalls, Thinks the Leonds
May Have Changed Their Orbit or
Met Destruction.

The watch for Leonids was repeated
last night, with no better success than
on the night before. Clouds obscured
the heavens during a large part of the
night but there were enough intervals
and patches of clear to enable all OBJ
servers to see that the expected grand
display did not come. Perhaps other
watchers in more favored spots on the
earth saw them, and perhaps they Will
come tonight or tomorrow.
Professor A. b. Ingalls, of oahu Col
lege was on the watch all night with
his instruments, prepared to record OBJ
servations, but he was rewarded only
by one meteor, which is duly noted on
the record. The professor will watch
again tomorrow morning. from mid
night on, and on Saturday morning the
same.
"The cloudiness of the weather pre-
vented anything like a complete watch
ing of the heavens" said Professor In
gals, but it is certain, nevertheless,
that the Leonids did not fall as they
were expected to, and the one, that
saw probably had no connection with
the shower. 1t is possible that at other
points on the earth the Leonids were
seen just as in 1898 and 1866. Honolulu
may not be favorably located for OBJ
serving them.
Another pOSSlDlllly Is InaI Ine Leon
ids will not fall this year at all. 1t
lnay be that the earth's contact with
them in 1888 and again in 1866 or some
other heavenly body, has destroyed
them as a collection of flying bodies, or
has thrown them out of their orbit SO
that they will not encounter our planet
again. This is only a guess, to account
for their seeming absence this time
