SUSPECTED OF
EMBEZZLEMENT

The police are searching for Amana
a half Chinese young man. on sus-
picion of having committed extensive
embellishments. 1t Is not certain but
the circumstances also go to indicate
that forgery may have been committed.
Amana has been employed as col
lector for the William G. Gregg Com
pany dealers in cane foaders and port
able track. Their office is on Alakea
street. Yesterday the young man did
not report for work. An investigation
of his accounts seemed to indicate a
shortage The embezzlements which
he is suspected of having committed
amount to between $500 and 81 900. For
how long period his speculations have
extended is not certain. The missing
employee is alleged to have been col

preach his gospel of nature and naked
ness. But it could hardly be said he
kept his appointment to preach. His
arrival was the signal for a gathering
of boys, who surrounded him, clamor-
ing for the cards he distributes bearing
his picture, and extracts, in imitation
Josh Billings spelling, of his bare-leg-
ged philosophy. The boys crowded up
on him, holding out their hats for him
to put his cards in, and showing him
hither and thither, the closely packed
mass moving about the vacant lot like
the compact mass of two football teams
in close and equal contest. The Nature
Man occupied the relative position of
the football. He weakly but good ma
turely yielded to the clamor of the boys,
and allowed himself to be showed a
bout, all the time in furious perspira-
ton. He finally got over into the part
of the field where there was a box from
which he intended to speak. But be-
fore he could speak a sentence, the boys
had crowded him off the box, not will
fully, but good naturedlly, and in their
desire to get the cards bearing his pic
ture.
Z Then there was another sinuous
movement around the field with the Ma
ture man Intellectually struggling with
the healty, hearty and boyishly natural
crowd which was bullying him to the
point of preventing him from making
the speech he announced and interfer-
ing with his freedom of movement, but
at the same time, evidently flattering
his vanity by the mere fact of sur
rounding him with a crowd.
Finally the Nature Man got chance
to make a short speech. 1t was deliv-
cred without effectiveness, was puerile
in conception and thought, wholly lack
ing in dehniteuess, consistency and con-
tinuity.
He got a few dimes.

CAMPBELL leads AS CANDIDATE

Governor Carter will probably send a
message to the senate tomorrow, nomi-
mating officials for the departments of
the Territorial government, including
his selections for the treasurership and
for president of the Board of Health.
A. j, Campbell is said to be the choice
for treasurer. The matter of the pre-
sident of the health board is in con-
siderable daubt. John Lane, one of
the members Of the board, called on the
governor this morning.
In addition to the treasurer and
health board appointments the COVER
nor has a long list of commissions is
sued since the Senate last met, in
GLIDING those of all the other heads of
departments. There has been talk of
opposition in the cases of Auditor Fish
er and Attorney General Andrews, but
it is believed that the appointment
will all be confirmed with little delay.

ALL HOUR IN A EIGHT

The Fourth District delegates to the
Territorial convention are talking
against the proposal to make nomina-
tons for Chicago by the district plan,
allowing districts to control absolutely
their representation. This makes the
contest for honors on this island a four
cornered one, taking away Senator Nc
Candless' "cinch" on the Fifth district
delegateship.
Under the district nomination plan
Senator McCandless would win out
without a contest, having no opposition
in the Fifth, but if the choice is by gem
eral vote of the convention, all four Of
the Honolulu contestants McCand-
less, Robertson, w. H. Hogs and Dis
trict Attorney BreckOns-are, on the
same footing.
The first question to be disposed of by
the convention will probably be the
method of selecting delegates. If the
Fourth votes for general convention
nominations and the proposition is car
ried, McCandless will be up against
hard fight like the rest. The contest is
being very theoretically waged. Rob
ertson's recent entrance, with heavy
voting strength behind him, has disar
ranged the programmes, and none Of
the candidates appear to be at all GER
tain of success. OF the known members
of the convention, Hoogs is believed to
have the largest number pledged to i'm
so far.

New Steamer Of The
Wilder Fleet Arrives

The new steamer Likelike of the Wild
er $. S. Company arrived off the port
at an early hour this morning from San
Francisco. The advent of the vessel
had been awaited with considerable in
terests especially by the Wilder people
as well as others. The vessel showed
herself to be a splendid craft and will
prove a valuable addition to the Wilder
fleet.
She left San Francisco April 2 at
noon, in command of Captain F. NJ.
Berg, who was formerly in command of
the steamer Hawaii for the Wilder
company. Construction Engineer John
son who supervised the building of the
steamer did not return on her but will
arrive next Wednesday on the Ventura.
The Likelike experienced good weather
until Friday and Saturday when she
met some rough weather with a nasty
cross sea. She showed herself to be
good sea vessel however. She brought
no passengers. Sam Wight, son of
President Wight of the company. and
Charles Gum, son of Mrs. Mary Gum,
arrived on the vessel.
The Likelike came into the harbor
shortly after Z o'clock this morning and
locked at the Oceanic wharf, just ma
uka of the S. S. Alameda. The Likelike
was visited by a large crowd Of people
today. She was greatly admired and
everyone declared she was fine and
little vessel. She was designed
for the Maui MololIai and
Lanai trade and has many conveniences
that are not to be found on other YES
sells i'm these waters.
The vessel measures 1870 feet in length
with 30 foot beam, Her speed is 1917
knots She has one compound condens-
ing engine and has single screw She
has one hold. The steam wench is plac-
ed well forward so as to facilitate the

HOUSE PROGRAM

The leaders of the House expect to
pass Senate bill No. 1, appropriating
money for current departmental eX-
penses, on second reading this after
noon. The House took a recess imme-
diately after approving its minutes
this morning, to visit the aquarium at
Waikiki at the invitation of the RAPID
Transit Company. If the Senate bill
goes through this afternoon the House
will have practically finished the work
for which the session was called as
far as it is concerned. In a caucus
yesterday afternoon the members
agreed to Tut back the band and make
some provision for hospitals, in the
salaries bill, and to taxi some money
out of road damages to make up the
difference.
