The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-05-03

Amana, the young Chinese who is
charged with embezzling between $1,000
and $1,000 from the Gregg Company Of
Chicago, is reported to be under arrest
in San Francisco. 1t was through his
ignorance of the American Chinese En-
clusion laws that the young man was
apprehended. Cablegrams notifying
the police of the capture of the youth
We're received this week from san
Francisco.
1t appears that after the alleged
shortage in the accounts of Amana
were discovered by the Gregg Company
managers by whom he was employed as
clerk, Amana could not be located. He
disappeared completely from sight. The
police were notified of his alleged short
age and they tried unsuccessfully to
locate him. 1t was supposed that he
was either in hiding or else had esCap-
ed from Honolulu by some vessel. This
week information on the subject was
secured by the authorities.
Amana is said to have effected his
escape on the S. 5. Siberia March &c. He
wanted to go to San Francisco. When
he arrived at San Francisco he was held
up by the immigration officials on the
ground that he was a Chinese and had
no authority to enter that port from
Hawaii. He had no papers to prove

that he had been born in the Hawaiian
Island or that he was otherwise a citi-
zen of the Territory, entitled to land at
San Francisco. 1t was decided to re-
turn him to Honolulu, but for some rea-
son the youth was not sent back, al
though he was held up on April when
the Siberia reached san Francisco.
The authorities We're informed that
he was to be sent to Honolulu by the
5. S. Gaelic today Detective McDuf-
fie was accordingly given a warrant for
the arrest of Amana on a charge of
embezzlement. McDuffie went out in
the customs launch this morning TO
meet the Gaelic for the purpose of taxi
ing Amana into custody. To the sur
prise of the officer no such man was
aboard the vessel. No such individual
was in transit, so the detective had his
trip for nothing.
The immigration authorities did not
for some reason get the youth aboard
the Gaelic and he is thought to be held
in San Francisco 1t is not improbable
that he is being detained there until
the departure of the S. S. Siberia for
Honolulu May IA, when he will prob
ably be deported on that craft. 1t is
possible that he may be sent here on
some vessel that sails earlier, as the
local authorities are after him.

POLE TOO SHORT
FOR UNCLE SAM
NEW FLAG STAFF THAT ARRIV-
ED BY THE ROBERT LEVERS
WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

The Quarantine Island station will
have to do without a flag pole for an
other four months. 1t had been hoped
that the flag pole would be mounted
this month and Old Glory flung to the
breeze, but this hope was shattered
yesterday on the arrival of the schooner
Robert Levers.
Some months ago bids for a flag pole
one hundred feet tall were advertised
for by DR.. Cofer of the Marine Hos
pital Service. Levers and Cooke Sc
cured the contract which required that
the pole should be installed on the
island. A pole 800 feet in length, was
ordered. 1t was shipped on the schoon-
er Robert Levers from Port Gamble
some weeks ago so the arrival of that
vessel was awaited with more than
usual interest. She arrived yesterday
and about the first inquiry that DR..
Hobby the boarding officer of the qua
rantine service made on climbing up
the vessel, was about the health of the
flag pole. There the pole was, tail
and straight and apparently as perfect
piece of timber as had ever come out of
the northwest.
Naturally DR.. Hobby felt delighted,
as any one who takes a pride in his pro-
fession would do, but the pride was
short lived. A little tape line shattered
the dream of a patriotic flag pole, for
instead of the pole measuring the re-
quired 100 feet. it fell short about S
feet of that measurement. The result
was that DR.. Golfer refused to accept
the pole. 1t was not up to specifca-
tions, so the pole will not be sold to
the government. A new one will
