I One day steamer came into por
from San Francisco and Mrs. Anger
met an acquaintance aboard and botf
had an enjoyable time while the vesse
was in port. She went aboard ant
1t was while both were 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 trip to Yokohama, and re.
turned to Honolulu on a steamer which
gave her couple of weeks stay in the
| Japanese port.
In the meantime the people at the
rooming house wondered over her mys-
ferrous disappearance. Mrs. Anger
had left her room as II 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 We're procured. The woman left
the frooming 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 silk dress
ing gown. Then the jewels We're
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 a
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 a voyage just then.
The vessel put back to the dock and
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, II 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.

The scene after that on the broad la.
mails OF the Wilcox home was sorrowful
| Mr.. Dow, who lives near by, did his
best to comfort the widow, but she Bit
terly bewailed the result of Mr.. Wilcox
when very Ill, being forced to continue
making campaign speeches. This, she
considered, had caused his death, but
she said that he had always been very
loyal to his party and its leaders. Even
In severe illness he could not re-
fuse to go out and do what he con-
sidered his duty on the stump.
Amid deep emotion Mrs. Wilcox told
those present of Mr.. Wilcox's last re-
turn from Washington. At that time
his eyes were sunken, he was bent over,
and looked very frail. She advised him
to rest and keep away from the ex-
element Of the county campaign and
she said that he also declared he did
not wish to enter the contest. A few
weeks later the party leaders came to
him and stated that the people would
have no one but him as a candidate.
HE told them" said Mrs. Wilcox,
that he was too sick for politics. but
they said he must. They forced him to
go into the campaign and run for Sher-
if. I advised strongly. against it but it
was no use. They nominated him and
then made him make too many
speeches. They would come here to our
home and insist that he go out and
work for his party. They would go to
a meeting, long meeting, and have
other people speak first. told them to
let Mr.. Wilcox speak first so he could
come home early with me as he was
very sick They said that's all right,
just be patient, for Mr.. Wilcox must
speak last. The people want only Mr..
Wilcox and IL he speaks first he Is the
only one they want to hear and then
they will so away without hearing our
other candidates. So Mr.. Wilcox al
ways had to speak last to hold the
crowd and this helped him to his death.
o, It's too bad they made him rum"
Continuing Mrs. Wilcox stated that
she could not tell when the funeral
would take place. She might want to
keep the body a week but of course the
party leaders would have something TO
say about 1t as he was SO prominently

LIVELY WOMEN, COSTLY
CLOTHES AND A BIG STEAL

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
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
a hamper from the steamship Alameda
on its 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 victims
landlady. This article was given up
ment, and 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,
jewelry which was at one time left
in the care of 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 a 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 its equivalent in ne
gotiable paper. She is said to be the
wife of a 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 filled with clothing,
among the articles being a set of furs
valued at $780, 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 a 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 a 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.

be a great blow to them.
Owing to the lateness Of the hour OF
his death. and from the fact that nc
one realized that the leader was so low

ing the night but today when the news
becomes known there Will surely be q
great gathering of Hawaiian people
around the place where his body rests
Aside from his politics Mr.. Wilcox had
made very many warm friends. The

On the evening that he made his last
speech he had previously attended
church with Mrs. Wilcox.

waiian Islands who are not intimately

Percy NJ. Pond returned from Hawaii
in the Iwalani yesterday and, although
he had not visited the volcanic erup-
ton, he brings some interesting in
formation regarding the outbreak. He
made the following statement to an Ad-
vertiser reporter:
KILAUEA NOT ACTIVE.
AT $50 last night there was no activ-
ity whatever at Kilauea.
Half an hour earlier a party re-
turned to Kona, which had scent
Wednesday night at the summit crater
of Mokuaweoweo. This party, consist
ing of seven ladies and fifteen gentle
men, went up Monday afternoon with
five pack mules and report q very easy
and satisfactory trip. They camped on
the very edge Of the crater.
"There were from fifteen to twenty
five active cones in the crater and an
active lake Of several acres in extent
During their stay there an additional
cone was thrown up with a violent ex-
plosion and assumed violent activity.
$50 far as they could gather, from
comparison of the condition Of the
crater as reported by the previous par
ty, composed Of Mr.. Single and 9TH
ers, with their own observations, the
crater seemed to be more active than 1t
had been before. Yet, neither from the
Volcano House nor from Punaluu. nor
from Kona, had there been observed
any apparent activity at the summit
for two or three nights. including the
time the party mentioned were close to
the scene Of action. This circumstance
shows how appearances at a distance
may be quite deceptive as to the actual
condition Of the summit crater at any
given time"
RETURNED FROM CRATER.
Abram Lewis, Jr., who also returned
in the Iwalani, was Of a party that
made the ascent of Mauna Loa and
viewed the grand eruption In Moku-
aweoweo at close range.
Mr.. Lewis considers himself as hay

stupendous glory Of the scene, for the
toll Of mountain climbing and the phys

air of the region above the clouds.
"And don't talk about your snowy
slopes" Mr.. Lewis says. 1--WE passed
through storm Of hail upon the noun

or three inches deep.

slant action" Mr.. Lewis said replying
to question about the particular
manifestations of the eruption. "They

OTHER ACCOUNTS.
The activity Of the volcano is in
creasing, according to reports brought
by Iwalani passengers yesterday even
ing. Kilauea remains the same but re-
turning parties from Mokuaweoweo say
that the exhibition is finer than ever.
Just prior to the departure Of the Iva
lani from the Kona coast a party re-
turned from the volcano with the lat
est obtainable.
"At Napoopoo Tommy White and
Willie Roy had Just returned with
party of twenty-seven which they had
piloted to the crater" one Of the pas
senRers said.
1.-THE entire party, including seven
ladies, had climbed to the very top Of
Mauna Loa and on Wednesday night
they slept at the edge Of the crater.
They returned Thursday at Ave o'clock,
and members of the party said that
they had seen from fifteen to twenty
five active cones in the crater. The
lava lake was boiling and was several
acres in extent. There Is Of course no
danger Of the lava overlooking the
edge, which is 700 feet above the boiling
lake"
