One day a steamer came into port
from San Francisco and Mrs. Anger
met an acquaintance aboard and both
had an enjoyable time while the yesse
was in port. She went aboard and
it was while both We're winning and din
ing in the saloon that the vessel start
ed off for Japan. When Mrs. Anger
came to knowledge of where she was
she was far out at sea. and she there
fore made a trip to Yokohama, and re-
turned to Honolulu on a steamer which
gave her a couple OF weeks stay in the
Japanese port.
In the meantime the people at the
rooming house wondered over her mys-
terious disappearance. Mrs. Anger
had left her room as if she had gone
merely to spend the evening elsewhere.
Mrs. Anger says the trunk and chiffo-
nier keys were in the drawer as usual.
When she returned to Honolulu she
went to her old room, and found to
her surprise that the trunk and chiffo-
nier had been, looted, although the
trunk had been left in the room. The
landlady declared she knew nothing of
the disappearance of the clothing and
Mrs. Anger pocketed her loss for the
time being. Finally a lawyers SER
vices were procured. The woman left
the rooming place for another, and
then the attorney made a demand on
the former landlady for the missing
clothing. A protest of innocence was
made, but it ended, so Mrs. Anger says,
in the landlady returning a silk dress
ing gown. Then the jewels were
sought, and Mrs. Anger says that the
man who held them endeavored to re-
tain the pair of earrings and the brace
let, but the attorney had these re-
turned and the man was given a re-
ceipt in full.
Now the former butcher of the Ala
meda-not the present one-comeS upon
the scene. He is said to be a close
friend of a man residing here, who was
among Mrs. Anglers friends" and
this man is suspected of knowing
good deal about the missing wardrobe.
When the Alameda was in San Fran
cisco on her former trip, two women
came aboard, on the day she sailed for
Honolulu, in company with the former
butcher. They went below. Just after
the steamer left the dock the two
women came on deck, and made much
ado over their plight for they had no,
intention Of making voyage just then.
ne VesseI put pack TO the dock ana
the butcher assisted them ashore and
lowered a hamper, said to contain
clothing and other valuables, onto the
dock, which the two women took pos
session Of. 1t is this same butcher
whom the police want in connection
with the Gallagher diamond robbery
case.
Owing to Mrs. Anger having decided
to bring the guilty ones to trial, if pos
sible, she missed the Sierra, on which
she had decided to depart for her home
in Oakland One of her woman ac-
quaintances, however, went away on
that steamship.
Important developments in the case
are expected soon.

TO COMPETE WITH
OCEANIC COMPANY

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct f-Mer-
chants and shippers interested in Aus
tralasian traffic will soon have the ad-
| vantage of competition in the matter
of rates and transportation facilities
between San Francisco and the ports
/ of Australia and New Zealand. The
| information was made public yester-
day that the Grand Trunk road is be-
hind scheme to establish a new
steamer line to Australasian ports,
with the view of sharing the business
now controlled by the Oceanic Steam
ship Company and the Canadian Pa
cific's Australian line. Three large and
modern steamships are to be placed in
the service in the near future. The
new line will not he operated out of
this port. Tacoma will be the only
port on this Coast where the new
vessels will dock. Involved in the new
steamship enterprise, however, is a.
traffic deal between the Grand Trunk
and the Hill lines, whereby the Hill
lines viii share the handling of the
traffic and the steamers of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company will furnish
direct connection with this port.
Ever since Charles M. Hays relin-
pushed the presidency of the South
ern Pacific Company and returned to
the Grand Trunk road he has been fur
thering various projects to widen the
territory in which the road looks for
traffic. The Grand Trunks plan to
parallel the Canadian Pacific by build
ing a line westward to Port Simpson
on the Pacific coast is the most notable
scheme undertaken by Hays. In adj
vance Of the building of the projected
new transcontinental line across Cam
ada. Hays is said to be ambitious to
establish Western traffic connections
that may be made to serve the Grand
Trunk when it's line to Port Simpson
is finished and in operation. The first
move in that direction is now made
known to the public. The Grand
Trunk wants to become a factor in the
trade between this coast and the ports
of Australasia. The Grand Trunk and
the Hill lines, it is announced, have en-
tered into traffic deal whereby the
Hill lines will play an important part
in the new enterprise. The establish
ment of the new steamer line is de-
clared to be strictly a Grand Trunk
undertaking. AS the Grand Trunk has
no tracks. thus far, this side of Chica-
go, the Hill lines will handle the bust
ness between Tacoma and Chicago.
The establishment of the new steam
er line to Australia assumes a local in
terest from the fact that the new line
will compete for business between this
port and the ports reached by the
steamers of the Oceanic Steamship
Company. The deal between Hill and
the Grand Trunk, it is announced. in
cludes an arrangement for the handling
Of such business on the vessels of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company be-
tween here and Tacoma.

The above cable to Superintendent
Gaines yesterday forenoon was the first
news of the wreck OF the Inflated but
famous schooner Julia E. Whalen on
Midway Island. The dispatch indicated
also that the cargo of provisions, live
stock, building materials and personal
property on the vessel had been lost.
The following cablegram from Mr..
Colly was received yesterday:
The Whalen got opposite the entrance
at dark. The captain decided to dodge
off and on till daylight but the current
must have taken him further to the
eastward than he thought. The
schooner struck on the ". n. w. cor
ner of the reef about a. m. Thursday.
Captain and crew got into the boat
without saving anything but clothes
and reached here at 6 a. m. the boat
leaking badly and only one oar and a
piece Of one available, hence the length
of time taken to come three miles. The
captain reports the Whalen was steady
on the reef and he had every hope of
saving the cargo and possibly the ship.
He borrowed our boat and returned to
the vessel but was unable to board,
surf being too strong. On his arrival
back he still expressed hope of being
able to save the cargo but this morning
showed that the vessel was breaking
up. The captain tried to get to her
again but she is practically in pieces,
the masts gone overheard and all car
go washed out. Nothing was saved
tic, he no a
rough passage and the pumps had to
be kept going to keep her free. She
leaked all the time.
Capt. Kinney of the Whalen was for
merly connected with the Inter-Island
Company's service and the schooner
Julia E. Whalen was his first COM
mand.
The schooner went to pieces quickly,

LIVELY WOMAN, COSTLY
CLOTHES AND A BIG STEAL
How Gay Visitor Was Shanghaied and When
Far Away Lost the Most of Her VaIu-

| A strange tale of systematic thievery
Honolulu woefully enmeshed as the VIC
tim, has come TO the surface. The
links in the story reach from several
boarding houses here to the Oceanic
| Steamship dock in San Francisco. An
attorney has been engaged in looking
| after the victims interests and police
aid is now being depended upon to
bring some of the suspected parties TO
| the bar of justice.
The victim who resides in a rooming
house in Union street bemoans the loss
of almost a trunkful of furs and cloth
ing of the most expensive kind, a por-
ton of which are said to be in the pos
session of persons residing in this city.
Another portion is said to be on a
steamer en- route to San Francisco and
still another portion is said to have
been taken ashore at San Francisco in
hamper from the steamship Alameda
on it's arrival there the last trip. Some
of the clothing, at least a luxurious
silk dressing gown, was recovered from
a woman who was once the victim's
landlady. This article was given up
when an attorney threatened punish
ment, and a search is being instituted
for the remainder Of the wardrobe, two
women being under the surveillance of
Detective McDuffie.
Several thousand dollars worth of
jewelry have also figured in the case,
jeweiry which was at one time left
in the care of a saloon man. The
woman's attorney also had to use
threats to obtain all of the jewelry
back, the victim stating that an at
tempt was made to hold out pair of
earrings, worth $500, and diamond
bracelet, worth as much more.
About four months ago California
woman, who for the purposes of this
account may be called Mrs. Anger, ar
rived in Honolulu on pleasure bent and
with a load of jewels, a wardrobe of
elegant clothing and a few thousand
dollars in cash, or it's equivalent in ne
gotiable paper. She is said to be the
wife of prominent official on
the Pacific slope, and the daughter of
a publicist of national repute. She
resided at different hotels, finally going
to a rooming house near the business
center. She made many friends and
enjoyed the best of life that Honolulu
could offer. In her room she kept her
trunks which were filed with clothing,
among the articles being a set of furs
valued at $3.50, silk dressing gowns,
outer and neither garments of the same
material, several silk kimonos and other
expensive articles. A chiffonier also
held valuables, and the key, as usual
thing, was kept in a drawer of the
chiffonier. Mrs. Anger had made the
acquaintance of several women, one
of whom is Portuguese, another a Ger
man woman, both of whom are in the
city, while third may now be in San
Francisco. Mrs. Anger was also we'll
acquainted with the latter's husband,
to whom she confided her jewels at one
time for safe keeping.
