BurguIar Alarm.

What seemed at first to be an at
tempted burglary was discovered by
Officer Putnam about o'clock this
morning. While making the rounds Of
his beat he found the door OF j. Gep'
hart'si shoe store broken open. The
glass pane was shattered and the pam
el of the door was broken as though
some one had forced it. The two shoe
cases which were filled with samples
and were locked bore the appearance
of being tampered with and two but
ton hooks which had been straighten-
ed out and apparently used as instru-
ments to unlock the doors of the case
would seem to give color to this the
ory Watchman Mattern, however,
says that while going down Front
streets he heard the noise of breaking
coming up the street When he reach
ed the corner of Front and Butler
streets he hear the noise of breaking
glass and on hurrying up the street
the two men whom he passed while
going down, took to their heels and
got away
Nothing seemed to have been taken
from the store. The police are of the
opinion that the two men in theil
drunken struggles fell against the dooI
and broke 1T open.

CENSORSHIP
Over Communications Of Minister Loomls
Has Been Ralssdpas
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
Washington, ID. c.. jan 1S.--Orders
to the Scorpion to proceed from La
Guira to Guanoco have been counter
manded and she will remain at La
Guira, where her presence is regarded
as necessary. NN
BY direction of the State Depart.
ment, Minister Loomls has protested
to the Venezuelan government against
the exercise of censorship over any of
his official communications. and lit is
understood that the protest has been
effective. 1t can not be gathered that
any very late advices have caused 4
change in the Departments plans rel
ative to the movements of the Scor :.
pion. In fact. it is said that nothing
has been received to show any mark
ed change in the status in Venezuela
since yesterday, when Minister Loom
is spoke of the suppression of the re-
bellion among the troops in Caracas,
the very inception of which was un
known to the State Department. The
fact that such a movement could gain
headway in Castrous own capital,
however, is very significant and this
rebellion among the troops may have
led to the decision to retain the Scor-
pion at DaGuira, 4 the nearest point to
Caracas.
Naval authorities consulted during
the day as to the feasibility of rein
forcing the American naval forces in
Venezuela, but while some think such
thing is in prospect, it cannot be
learned that any positive orders have
yet gone out. There is no disposition
on the part of the authorities here
to go to any unusual part in dealing
with this situation, and they say that
it is not part of their purpose to
brow beat or coerce Venezuelans by
any formal naval demonstration. un-
less such a course is absolutely forced
upon them. The protest of Minister
Loomis against any censorship of his
official mail on the part of the Venez-
uelan government was not idly lodged,
and he acted by the Departments di-
rection only upon the we'll grounded
suspicion that his cables were being
with or unreasonably delay
ed. His protest was made several days
ago. officials are satisfied that GEN.
sorship over his communications has
ceased.

The successful use of Niagara Falls
as a generator of electrical powers on
an extended scale set the pace in the
matter of utilizing water courses in
that line and many successful expert
ments have been made in other sec
tions of the United States, as we'll as
in Europe, and led to the investment
of vast amounts in water power plants.
The time may come when through the
power of water and electricity, coal
can be reserved for cooking and heat

The hard knocks which cadets re-
ceive at West Point are sufficient to fit
them for the severe ups and downs OF
life. However, it seems that hazing
at the military institution is entirely
too severe, and while it possibly serves
to give some valuable lessons in the
school of experience, it should at
least be temDorized.

WEATHER YESTERDAY.
SMOKING ON STREET CARS.

In Sundays Republican was puo-
lished an article showing the action
of two of the great railroads OF the
country. the Rock Island aud the Bur
lington, in prohibiting the use of to-
bacco by employees when on duty.
Long ago every railroad prohibited
the use OF liquor by its employees when
on duty. and now follows the prohi-
bition against tobacco. AS the New
York Sun well says in discussing TIE
action OF these two roads. smoking
on duty Of any sort is a sign of divided
attention. and if there is any emblem
of Indifference to the world in general,
and in particular TO the company
present, it is the cigarette left hanging
from the lips"

the drivers the only offenders. 1t is

forbidding smoking upon the fxont

The writer had an experience on a
Waikiki car on Friday and on a Bere.
