Madame Mathilde Shaw has not yet
given UP her agonizing search for her
son, Algernon G. Shaw, who mysteri-
ously disappeared at Honolulu four
years ago on August last. Shaw was
an artist who fell into hard luck in
San Francisco and came to Honolulu
as assistant in the stewards depart
ment of the steamer Australia. He
obtained employment here on the now
defunct Austin's weekly, in that cap
acity attending the opening OF Hale
iva Hotel at Waia1ua on August 4,
1899. That evening he exhibited un-
finished sketches made on, the occa-
sion and was paid something on ac-
count of salary by Franklin Austin.
On the 5th of August he was seen
on the wharf a few minutes before
the sailing Of the transport Ohio for
Manila. So far as evidence formerly
published goes. nobody could be found
in Honolulu who had seen him after
ward. Yet in 1902 rather promising
clues We're obtained that Shaw was in
Australia. In that year Mrs. Shaw,
through the Government departments
OF Washington, caused exhaustive in
quiries to be made here. A letter OF
thanks from her TO the editor of the
dated at Brazil. Indiana

July 2 following. In it the mother
Of the missing young man expressed
warm gratitude for the efforts of this

aim, and also discussed at length vari-
0us clues to his wherea bouts.
Madame Shaw has now written to
President Roosevelt. begging his ;

GAMBLERS ESCAPED THROUGH
A HIDDEN TRAP-DOOR

Even standing room was at a pre-
MUM in the police court yesterday. A
hundred and five Chinese were on trial
at the same time, on a joint charge of
gambling, and each one of them was
fined fifteen dollars and costs. If all
of the men convicted yesterday, pay
their fines, the Territory viii be the
richer to the extent of about $1,000.
Never before has there been such
a crowd of defendants in one case be-
fore any court in the Territory. The
Chinese crowded over everything.
They Inassed on the seats and over
flowed outside the court railing. Most
of them were compelled to stand
through trial which continued all
the morning and the most of the aft
ernoon. They looked like a gallery
crowd at the Orpheum and were as
much interested in Judge Lind

chorus girls, although they didn't feel
like applauding the show.

day night, but five had forfeited bail,
so that there were only hundred to
appear for trial IN the police court
yesterday morning. Fortunately the
defendants didn't ask for a. separate
trial or the court would have been
kept busy from now to Christmas.
The men were arrested in a three
story building on King street. near

Judge Lindsay by the witnesses for the

The present discussion in the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church of paragraph
number 24S of our Book of Discipline,
which contains specific laws regarding
certain amusements, is not well under
stood by the general public. It is gen
orally taken for granted that if this
paragraph should be rescinded the at
titude of the church concerning amuse-
ments would be changed. This concep-
ton is incorrect.
The question at issue Is practically
one of method-the manner of teaching
and of procedure against those mem
bers who may habituaIly violate our
rules on this question.
Our General Rules and here let
me say there is no suggestion, what
ever, of introducing any change IN
them, give noble principle for the
guidance of our people in this matter.

pairs of stairs they generally found
one or two men calmly reading or
writing. They discovered the reason
on this last, successful raid. Some of
the officers remained on the first floor.
The rest, when they reached the top
story found it almost deserted, but
the police on the first floor got full
bags The Chinese came sliding down
a chute right into the arms of the
officers, and they We're nightly sur
prised at the reception. The third
floor is laid with heavy mating and
though the police searched carefully
for a trapdoor they failed to discover
1t, until given the secret by an in
former. In one corner of the room a
block of the mating was cut from
the main piece and the tack-heads re-
moved from where 1t covered a trap
door leading to the ground floor. This
door was opened and the police found
that it concealed a ladder which con-
nected directly with the ground floor.
While the police climbed the stairs the
gamblers were sliding one at a time
down the ladder.
On the occasion of the successful
raid the hundred or more Chinese were
engaged in half a dozen different
games, from pakapio to fan tan, al
though most of the evidence had been
removed. On the stand In the police
court yesterday the Chinese gamblers
testified that they had not been gam
