OIAS TELLS OF
THAT STEALING

Police Officer Joe Paulo Dias of the
local force returned this morning on
the steamer Mauna Loa from Waikiki
with his version of the recent charge
of child stealing filed against him at
Waikiki. He was arrested last week
on charge o. stealing Sophia Rodri-
CUES his niece, from the sisters. Dias'
| examination was held before District
! Magistrate Mckay last Wednesday and
| resulted in the defendant being dis
charged.
Hearing that A ]. Rodrigues my
brother in law was very ill.," said Dias
Il went to Maui, but he died before
my arrival. 1 have cared for two of
his children since the death of his wife
my sister but Sophie a Ia year old girl
has been on Maui. He left a paper
expressing the wish that the sisters
care for the child. 1 went to see her
and asked if she wanted to remain
with the sisters or to come and live
at my house. She said she wanted to
be with the sisters. The sisters said
that they were willing l should take
the girl If she wished to come with
me- 1 was satisfied that the girl was
not well treated by her step mother.
The child said she wanted to remain
with the sisters.
II asked them to allow her to come
to the lOtel TO see me and my wife
They said she could go. After the
child reached the hotel she said she
wanted to go with us. l asked her
why she had not said so before the
sisters and she said that her step
mother had threatened to give her q
good licking if she did. I sent for
Judge KaulukOu and the deputy sheriff
to question the child and see whether
had used any influence or force in per-
suading her to change her mind They
talked with her and discovered that
she had voluntarily expressed the wish
to go with us. l suggested then that
papers stating this be drawn up,
which was done The paper that her
father had signed was in no way legal.
I was satisfied that she would be cared
for-better by NE than if she were per-
mitted to remain on Maui with her
step-mother or under her so l wanted
to bring the girl here.
THE sisters called me up by telephone
and inquired about the girl being sent
back. 1 said that she had decided to
come with me. In a short time at
torney Case came in and demanded the
child. 1 refused to surrender her. 1
was later arrested on charge of child
stealing but subsequently discharged.
The child has come with me for l in
tend to provide for her as l have done
for her brother and sister since my
sister their mother died"

Peril In the handkerchief.

1t is in fact grave sanitary ques-
ton whether the handkerchief does not
do more harm than good as il is or
dinarily used. When we assume that
the healthy nose does not need to be
wiped we face Il reasonably broad
proposition as to the danger of the
handkerchief as a disease propagation.
Most of nasal catarrhs are of an in
fectious character. notably those of
grip origin.
Contrary to Il general law of asepsis,
the handkerchief saturated with dis
ease germs instead OF being promptly
washed, is slowed for hours in the
pocket, with n result that can be easily
imagined. Is it any wonder then that
catarrhs are constantly fostered by

THE LABOR AGITATOR.
Some of the Qualities He Must Pos
sesS to Be Successful.

Strikes contribute but slightly to the
equipment Of the successful labor agi-
tator The agitatOr must be thorough
" acquainted with the history of the
labor movement and be capable of pre-
senting its aims and aspirations in an
attractive and convincing manner. He
must possess the ability TO think rapid
" and 10 express his views and opin-
ions clearly and fOrciblv. But. withal,
lie must inspire those whom he would
lead with absolute faith in his honesty.
The agitatOr isn't always an advocate
of strikes. He has sometimes to exert
his influence to prevent n strike which
his Judgment tells him would be IN
wise. 1t may sound like mixing terms
10 say so, but ii is a truth that the
most difficult tasks performed by the
labor agitatOrs are their "agitations"
in the interest of peace, their efforts TO
prevent strikes. The man who is al
ways in favor of a strike as soon as
one is suggested or who is constantly
on the search for a casus belli soon
finds his influence as a leader gone

UnknoyYabIe Russia.

Those who are permitted to speak the
open truth in Russia may be counted
on the fingers of one hand, and then
half of them will be left unused. Why
these people are tolerated is one of the
secrets of state. Outside of these only
those who write works of fiction, which
the majority of the people cannot and
do not read. are permitted TO speak OF
things as they are. When they exceed
the limits of Russian decency and
speak too openly, they are given a trip
to Siberia at the expense of the gov
eminent. Siberia is the place where
the boldest. the most courageous and
most talented products of Russia are
put on cold storage.
1t is the coolest part of the country,
and honest people are sent there when
the country becomes too hot for them.
When the innocent tourist asks, Where
are your honest people,? Siberia is
pointed out to him. If he asks more
questions, he is himself sent there. The
government objects TO questions on gen
eral principles. Russia refuses to be
interviewed.-B. G. Richards in Reader
Magazine.
