him the report adopted by the board,

The board is understood to have

in such manner as to make Homo

members of the board explored the
coast from KokO head to a point be-
low Pearl HarbOr and some IL sta

tied upon it is stated. There is also
to be one central artillery station at
some commanding point. The other
side OF the island, it is thought, does
not need much attention. The ap-
proaches to Honolulu from any land
ing except on the south side between
the points which were the limits of
the boards surveys, are mountain

affirmed it's decision, Justice Gal

to the United States, persons could
be lawfully convicted of crime with

question turns on whether the United

coming to a big furniture car he
thought he heard someone whisper

the safe side he unlocked his watch
and slipped it in his left glove. His
lantern was hanging on his left ell
bow, while the train book was held
in the left hand.
When he arrived at the spot from
where the whispering ensued, his
fears were confirmed as two men
stepped out from between the cars
and covering him with a gun, COM
manded "hands up" AS his hands
were already up he simply pushed
them a little higher and let ii go

him covered, the other went through

They then commanded him to take
off his gloves, which he did, but man
aged to keep the watch concealed In
the glove. He was wearing valu-
able gold ring, which caught the eye
of the hold-up man. and it was torn
roughly from his finger. The men
then turned and disappeared in the
