which had been used, and six knives
and forks. This led to the belief that
six persons were in the plot, and that
they had gone away hastily.
Down in the cellar at the entrance
to the tunnel was found suit OF
clothes, in one of the pockets of which
was cipher letter. 1t was supposea
to be a letter of instructions to the es-
Gaping convict telling him where to go.
Several experts agree that in the COM
bination Of Hebraic, Russian, German
and shorthand characters there Is
something about the East 72d street
elevated station and First avenue. No
body has vet been found who can
read the cipher.
When it was found impossible to ex-
plore the tunnel from the Sterling
street end because Of the foul air
which the blow fan could not drive
out, excavations were made on the
outside. Men who have crawled III
went over $50 feet parallel with the
Refuge street wall and the tunnel
was easily found. After crossing Ster-
ling street it runs close to the peniten-
tairy wall. The latter is built on piles,
which were cut with saw and hatch
ct by the tunnelers.
The prison end of the tunnel was i've
feet from the wall and within 40 feet
Of the prison hospital. 1t terminated
under a large fiagstone, which was
over thin-crust of earth and gravel.
about three inches thick. Between it
and the prison proper was the large
prison stone pile on which convicts
work. The fagstone was so wedged
in the earth that it could be moved up
like trapdoor sufficient to permit the
passage Of man.
Nothing could be easier than for
convict to drop behind the pile OF
stones if he knew the exact location of
the end of the tunnel, jump into the
hole and pull the stone after him. Il
he were missed and the hole discovered
the stone would block the passage OF
any pursuers. By the time it was got
out and other obstacles in the tunnel
overcome Berkman could be out in the
street dressed in the clothes left for
him.
Police officials, miners and others
say no better piece of underground
engineering exists than this winding.

Some mal6s ago Berkman made

outside sent him canary. The latter
he evidently intended to use to get
away. He had been noticed kicking
at the earth near the hospital. He
seemed to be feeling the ground with
his feet. When one of the keepers
asked him about it he said he was
merely uncovering new gravel for his
canary. In that end of the prison
yard there is plenty of gravel, but
Berkman gathered enough for dozs

NO PASSENGERS
FROM HONOLULU
Vessels Under Foreign Flag
Cannot Carry Hawaiians
to the Mainland.

There are many In Honolulu Who
do not understand the new law which
forbids the Japanese and Occidental
and Oriental steamers from carrying
passengers between this port and the
Coast. Many consider the law a very
arbitrary infringement OF their rights.
and express the belief that II they want
ed 10 go to the Coast on those steamers
IL would be very easy TO go on board
and keep out Of sight until the pilot was
dropped and then to pay their fare.
But the agents OF these companies
lNre say that any such passengers
would be treated as sfow Iways by the
officers. and would be kept at work on
the voyage and not allowed to land
when they reached the Coast. but
forced TO come back 90 the Islands on
the return trip OF the steamer. The
companies interd TO make th.s rue irl
self protection. for they win be liable
TO fine OF $500 for every passenger
they carry between Honolulu and San
Francisco.
These lines are allowed 10 land pas
sengers for stop overs here. provided
they go on In steamers OF the same line
or competing lines. and they can also
CARRY mail. This will make II worth
while for these vessels to call at Ha-
wall and will also prove n great accoa:-
modation TO residents In the Islands
The business which these lines do be
tween here and the Orient Is also large
and is constantly growing.

From the lowly born

ton in life. From the lowiy born
to those Of high degree, there are
adopts who can 90 artistioally ar
range their lies that they appear
not only truth but the purest ex-
tract of the regular old fashioned
thoroughbred article Lies are co.
clothed 10 appear truth that they
themselves can not distinguish
the difference. As q rule the ar
tistic liar has an object to accom-
plish, and 90 arrange his lies as
to best attain that end.
The plausible liar Is OF one
grade below the artisticliar His
lie ordinarily goes just as far in
accomplishing it, desirsd end bat
does not have the same style and
eclat !. KS
His are distorted truths SO ar
ranged as to seem "all wool yard
wide," very probable and likely to
the genuine. SO much go that the
unsnspecting public who does not
scan these matters closely is read
| ily taken in, in fact, would rather
believe it true than to take the
trouble to think or reason out its
falseness. This class has q good
excuse for lying in tho fact that
they either want 10 get something
or get out of getting something.
The natural liar H. most prcli-
fic. He il found every where. He
will lie when the truth would be
preferable, then lie several times
to get himself out Of the tale. His
lies are not confined to business or
pleasure alone. He lies on every
Occasion and is q believer in lies,
in fact can't tell the truth when
he secs it. AZ = general rule he
1is a living. hopeless, inexcusable
lie until his death when nearly all

position by swearing to his truth

THE LIAR
AND OTHER LIES, WITH AND WITH
OUT CAUSE.

Liars are properly classified as
the artistic, plausible and natural
liar.
The first two graduates while
the last named is inherited bred
and born in the home. The say
ing that "all men are liars" comes
nearer being truth than will be
readily admitted. There are hum
dreds of milder forms in. which
the liar makes his appearance.
That many men live and die lying
is unquestionsble. Appearances
indicate an honest life, while fact
proves same to be q fragrant lie.
A certain young gentleman in
this city attempted to pass . single
day without lying actual or i'm

Making the matter a subject for
thought, he felt that he was bound
to fail if he aeme down town, 90
