AND LUNATICS
Such Occupied the Attention of
the Local Police!IYes-
terday.

| Deputy Sheriff Andrew Cox has arrest
ed three Porto Ricans at Waialua, on
suspicion of having been concerned In a
robbery at the plantation store of the
Honolulu Agricultural Company, which
occurred last Sunday night. Among the
articles stolen were some handkerchiefs,
stockings, four silver watches and $57 in
cash.
| In the house where the three men lived
the bulk of the stolen property was
found by the deputy sheriff. The men
are plantation laborers, and their names
are Hipolita Feliciana, Augustine varga
and Angel Morcelo.
| Yesterday Special officer Joy arrested
| Nishlda, who Is wanted on charge of
embezzling $500, the property of his en-
ployer, Onome, in Hilo. The warrant
happened to describe Nishida's appear
ance to Joy. The latter ran across Nj
shida yesterday and placed him under
arrest.
Another alleged misappropriator of
funds was arrested yesterday, In the per-
son of Lin Cha Bo, who is said to have
got away with 800 which Ling Bong en-
trusted to him at Lahaina some time
ago. Ling Bong says that he instructed
Lin Cha 30 to send the money to his
parents in China, instead of which he is
alleged to have come to Honolulu and
blown in the 800 at PAL kau and other
kindred pastimes.
I, Ankai, alias Kamolulu, was gather
ed in yesterday on a charge of having
Fitted 50 from a Japanese store on Nun
anu street. He is said to be acquainted
with prison fare.
Moanalua, the young man with the idi-
otto grin, whose tastes run to female at

M!kake, an Hawaiian of fifty years,
was sent to the insane asylum yesterday
lie was committed in Waialua. He is
said to suffer from delusions, caused by
melancholia. and to have made himself
very Objectionable to the community for
some time past. His brother died about
q year ago, and this seems to have prey
ed on his mind.

A new electric propeller for small
boats is combination of motor, pro-
peller wheel and rudder, the novel
feature being the use of the motor un-
der water. The propeller weighs about
thirty-five pounds, and the storage bat
teries are made so compact that they
can be placed under the seats of an
ordinary rowboat. two boxes Of cells
giving speed of four miles an hour
for five to eight hours on one charge.
An advantage claimed from placing the
motor outside the boat is avoidance of
strain and vibration.

STOCKYARDS TO
CLOSE OUT SOON
Directors Decide to Sell All the
Assets and Quit the
Business.

The business of the Honolulu Stock
Yards Company will be wound up at
once. and the present stockholders,
according to the outlook, will not have
anything to do with the future of the
concern. This decision was reached at
a meeting of the newly-elected board
of directors held yesterday afternoon,
and all matters connected with the
sale were placed in the hands of JAS
action.
The men who have the sale in hand
have been in negotiation with several
business men during the week past.
and they find that the outlook to make
deal whereby the stockholders will
receive all their original investment is
very good. The business would have
paid dividend, which is estimated at
$4,000. at the meeting held yesterday,
but for the fact that the fire wiped
out all this profit. The loss to the
business, beyond the insurance is thus
estimated at $4,000, and the fact that
the assets are expected to pay enough
to reimburse the stockholders, is taken
to be a reflection of much credit to the
management.
While there may be mentioned no
names of the men who have been fig
uring for the business it is said that
the old livery and sale men have their
eyes upon the Stock Yards name and
good will at least There Is an almost
new stock of carriages in the barns of
the company, and the importations are
expected to arrive at any time now.
1t has not been decided what steps
shall be taken for the sale. The bust
ress will first be offered at private
sale, and in the event there is not a
sufficiently large figure offered, there
may be segregated sale at auction.

The three submarine boats built by
Drebbel, Dutch physician, in 1920 are
not to be looked upon as the first ex-
pertinent of the kind, it is pointed out,
for Alexander the Great used diving

the siege of Tyre Since 1920, we are
told, not less than 173 different sub
marine boats have been designed, ex

Putting Up 4
Good Argument

The LA INsULAR OF AMER
ICA cigar is unlike any other SC
cigar as regards SHAPE, QUAIL
ITY, and WORKMANSHIP. The
smoker notices it's distinctiveness
and likens it to the MANILA
of old. The American Insular is
made of blend of tobacco partic-
ular1y desirable for this climate,
in factory where personal clean
Illness is exacted.
It has that MANILA favor and
effect so desirable in the tropics.
We give each dealer a guarantee
whereby he may return the cigars
anytime within one year and re-
ceive purchase price paid in full.
Dealer can't get stuck, can he? If
out of town buyers return them we
will pay freight charges. Not much
risk there either. But don't think
that a cigar which we uncondition-
ally back to this extent everywhere
is anything like the cigars made by
manufa cturers generally. It is al
together different.
It will cost the dealer a little
more because it costs us more, but
any dealer who has sold the La In
sular of America will tell you it is
his leader today.
The trade name is registered by
us at Washington, DC. The labels
purchased by us of the Lithograph-
er and the cigars made under our
personal supervision to order. tt
has taken one year to produce this
brand, It is PERFECT smoke.
