SHE ASKED TO
BE LOCKED UP

A ragged specimen Of humanity
faced Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth
yesterday afternoon. She was little
native girl She did not state her age
but perhaps she was fourteen. She
had sad little face, and this bore
two heavy black rims around the eyes.
She wanted to be locked up for the
night. She was guilty Of no crime but
thought she ought to be locked up to
restrain someone else from committing
a crime. And she made a very pa
hand dealer would have been unwilling
to give more than twenty cents for her
entire outfit of dress.
This was Lizzie Akoni. She said
that her father had given her cruel
beating. He had whipped her badly
Her black trimmed eyes were ample
evidence of this fact. She wanted the
Deputy Sheriff to have her committed
to the Girls Reform School for the
remainder Of her minority.
The Deputy Sheriff told her he could
not do this. He advised her to go
home. At five o'clock when the gen.
eral offices of the police station closed
she was still hanging around. She
made final appeal to be locked up for
the night so that she could at least
have a place to sleep where she would
not be beaten.
Then Chillingworth took her to
Jack" Jack" was on duty as re-
ceiving clerk. Lizzie Akoni," said
the deputy. The name was written
on the blotter. Then he simply said
investigation and the turnkey took
her below. And Lizzie looked very
happy as she smiled back just as the
Jail doors We're closing on her slim re-
treating figure.

The many vile dens of Kakaako were
secured from top to bottom last night
by the police in search for Pedro, the
desperate Porto Rican convict, who had
been seen in town.
Last evening two Porto Rican boys
We're standing on the railway station
corner of King street. Pedro jumped
off an electric car, coming from Kalihi
He saw the boys and gave them each
a quarter telling them that they were
to say they had not seen him. Then he
got into cab and was driven away.
One boy ran to the Police Station and
told the story. The other rah to a
policeman on the beat and told the
same story. According to the boys Pc
dro drove away in hack No. 269. The
driver of this cab was looked up and
he admitted that he had hauled a Porto
Rican answering Pedro's description
and that he took him to Fischer's place
in Kakaako. Pedro was dressed in a
new suit and showed s45.
About the same time the police learn
ed from some one at Waipahu that
Pedro had entered the railway station
there, had purchased ticket and took
train for town. 1t is supposed that
he got off the cars near Moanalua and
then walked until he reached the ter
minus of the Kalihi electric car line,
and by car journeyed to the corner
where he met the two Porto Rican
boys.
At Fischer's lodging house in Kaka-
ako the proprietor stated that he saw
Pedro run through his yard and that
other Porto Ricans We're negotiating
with him to have him hide the man
for the night. He said that they had
promised him fifty dollars. BY tonight
he told Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth
he would have Pedro in the tolls, would
have thus secured the police reward and
also the fifty dollars that Pedros
friends would put I'D.
Back of the whole incident lies an in
teresting story. Fischers lodging house
is the hanging out place of big batch
of Porto Ricans. 1t Is an old ram
shachIe structure containing many
snail rooms. 1t is reached from Queen
street easily but the rear entrance is
through a long tortuous lane leading in
from Richards street. At one time Pc
lro lived there. 1t was claimed that his
'obberies had netted him a large sum
IF money and that he had this hidden
about the place and that he also had
slowed away there a diamond pin that
vas valued at from fifteen hundred to
.wo thousand dollars. His arrest and
conviction of the General Miles rob-
,ery had prevented him from disposing
If the gem. 1t was claimed that the
after was still hidden about the prem
ses. This story was noised all about

had the documents in front of him.
Mr.. Chillingworth Immediately arrest

paid the s25 on account and made no
effort to explain why he had

evidence they had already secured they

WOMEN OF PORTO RICO.
New Englanders Learn How Ameri-
cans Help the Natives.

From the New York Tribune.
'aThe Spaniards went to Porto Rico for
what they could get out of 1t. and am
sorry to say that good many Americans
have gone for the same reason said Mrs.
Elliott Jones before the National Society OF
New England Women at its regular bust
nees meeting in Delmonico's yesterday af-
ternoon. But nevertheless" she contin-
ued, we have done much for the Porto Ric-
ans, and the American women resident on
the island. most Of them being wives of
army and navy officers, have taken a lead
Ing part in the good work.
II never saw anything so terrible as the
poverty in Porto Rico. People often ask
me why the American occupation has not
improved the condition of the people, but
this is easy to understand after one has
lived there. Although the Spanish govern
ment has been destroyed, the land Is still
owned by Spaniards, and they have taken
advantage of the establishment of the
American system Of currency in the island
is worth only 60 cents, as equal to 81. This
has nearly doubled rents and has caused a
great deal of poverty, for which the United
States is being blamed. Then there was
the hurricane. which left thousands desti-
tute. This was when the women came to
the rescue. About twenty of them organized
the Womans Aid Society of Porto Rico. APP
pealed to their friends in the north and fed
and clothed this multitude.
"At first aid was given absolutely gratis.
but 1t soon became evident that this was
producing pauperism, and arrangements
were made for supplying the women with
work. This is still kept up, and under the
care of the secretary the women, who when
they first came for assistance. tumbled over
one another like lot Of animals, have be-
come neat. clean and self-respecting-
Another thing which the women have
done is to build a hospital at San Juan.
Formerly the poorer classes of Porto Rico
had scarcely any care in time of sickness
The newborn children cared for themselves,
and the result is the terrible deformity
which one sees everywhere in Porto Rico
The new hospital is intended for maternity
cases, and the city Of San Juan is giving
$500 month to its support. American
nurses have been secured, and If any of you
want to help you can send box of cast-off
clothing addressed to the Womans Aid
Society, San Juan, Porto Rico. Don't put
In any furs or velvets, but make up box
of all the cotton garments, sheets, towels
and pillow cases that you can spare, and
you have no idea how much good it will
do. / would like to tell you more about
what is being done in Porto Ricos but it
would take too long
