Did Bold
Burglary
Yesterday
ROBBER STOLE 1910
FROM THE SAFE OF w. NORTON
ON KING STREET YESTERDAY.

A good sized burglary was accom-
plished yesterday morning at the feed
company on King street opposite the
Government nursery. Exactly 1910 in
gold was stolen. The robbery was
quite bold. william Norton the pro-
prietor of the feed company was the
victim. He had sold a pair of mules
for 1910 and the money had been placed
in the cash drawer of the safe of the
feed store office.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Norton told
the bookkeeper Phillip Reese, and an
other employee to leave the warehouse
and go out collecting accounts. Nor
ton is closing out his busint ss and is
making every effort to have his ac-
counts settled as promptly as possible
Both employees left the warehouse
shortly before 10 o'clock and none of
those connected with the place were
about the store until after ~ O'clock.
Norton himself, was absent.
When Reese returned he found to his
surprise that the door of the safe was
open about two inchts He had closed
the safe and thrown the combination
couple of points off He made an
examination and found that the wooden
cash drawer had evidently been pried
open by means of a hay hoop. for the
marks of such an instrument were
plainly visible. The cash that had
been left in the drawer was missing,
The police were notified and have been
at wok on the case. It is thought that

took the money. No arrests have as

An unusual sort of habeas corpus
proceeding was beUun in Judge
Lindsay's court this afternoon by
r. w. Breckons as attorney for a Jap
anese named Koichi Shimzu. Shimzu
is seeking to get his adopted daughter
away from her natural father who,
several years after giving the child up
and allowing the plaintiff to adopt
her legally suddenly got hold Of her
some weeks ago and refuses to give
her back to the adopted father.
The defendant Masutaro Sasahara
after being divorced allowed Koichi
to adopt his daughter according to
the laws of Japan, it is set forth.
Many years ago he came to Hawaii
and in 1904 Koichi followed, bringing
with him the young girl named Akayo
who is now about seventeen years old
Masutaro married again and has sew
eral other children, but he did not for

treasurer, but might have been held by
him pending the settlement of litiga-
tion over it. In fact, said the court:
If he pays it into the treasury he
does so at his peril" Campbell is held
personally responsible for money he
paid in and there is a suit against him
in person to get it back. AS to the pol
icy of the law, the court in a decision
by Chief Justice Frear, suggests as fol-
lows:
There are, no doubt, strong reasons
why in point of policy officers should
not be allowed to retain moneys col
lected under color of their offices to
await the result of litigation, but, on
the other hand, it would be a hardship
to require persons who paid such mon
eys under duress and protest to await
action by the legislature in order to re-
cover them after judgment in an action
against the Territory as now provided
A wise middle course would seem to be
to provide, as is done by some federal
and state statutes, that moneys col
lected should be paid into the treasury
without awaiting the result of litiga-
tion but that If adiudged to have been
illegally exacted they might be paid
back without waiting for a special ap-
propriation."

COURT
SUGGESTS new LAW
DECISION YESTERDAY SHOWS FREQUENTLY RE-
CURRING DIFFICULTY CLAIMS AGAINST THE
TERRIToRY-PUBLEc ACCOUNTANTS WHICH ARE DOUBTFUL
AS IT IS NOW

The Supreme Coort decision of yes.
terday contains a suggestion of legis-
lation, which will attract considerable
attention. The decision deals with
some statutes passed here to assist in
the prosecution of government officials
for embezzlement. At first sight it ap-
pears to compel Treasurer Campbell,
on certain occasions to do acts which
the statute declares shall be "prima
facie evidence" of embezzlement, and
the treasurer's friends prepared to con-
sole with him on being practically or
dered to jeopardise himself to gravely.
The difficulty occurred over the of
ten-troublesome provision that public
money once paid into the treasury can
not be taken out without a legislative
appropriation, coupled with the re-
quirement that public accountants in
Honolulu must turn in weekly all the
public money they collect. A failure to
comply with all the requirements as
to turning over Of collections, says one
section, shall be prima facie evidence
Of embezzlement.
In the case of the Seattle Brewing
Company license money, the Supreme
Court yesterday held however, that
the money need not have been turned
in to the treasury Immediately by the

courtesy and have received a great
deal of encouragement and feel very
hopeful as to results"
Case also writes that owing to the
amount of work to be done in Wash
ington he will not be able to return as
soon as expected and he wants the At
torney Generals Department to take
up the work of the Maui term of court,
as Peters agreed to If necessary before
Case left. Case says the work is taxi
ing longer than anticipated and that
he will not be able to attend the term.
Deputy Attorney General w. S. Flem-
ing will therefore go to Maui to prose-
cute.

Case Says
The Chances
Are Good

The following is the conclusion of q
letter received by Attorney General E.
c. Peters from d. H. Case, one of the
Hawaii delegation now in Washington:
I'VE feel that we have made a very
substantial progress toward the accom-
plishment of the object for which we
came here. Have had hearings before
the House Committee on Territories as
well as the Senate Committee on Pa
cific Islands and Porto Rico. In addi-
tion to this, we have met a great many
Senators and Representatives and have
not neglected the opportunity of pre-
senting our case to eacn and all. We
have been treated with the utmost

The small boys of the Makiki district
are seldom seen of late without piece
of sugar cane somewhere upon their
persons. The reason for this lies in
the fact that the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Experiment Station has more
cane than they need for testing pur-
poses, and so they are giving it away
Upon small plots of ground at the
station, different kinds of cane are
grown, some from seed and some from
stalks as is done on the plantations
AS these different kinds of cane mature
they are harvested and tested. Thus
it can be determined which kinds OF
cane do the best under the given condi-
tion. The Lahaina cane experimental
with has yielded a little more than Is
tons per acre. Some other plots of
cane have yielded still better. This is
in advance of any grown on the plan
tation
In former years it was the custom of
the Station to send its surplus cane to
one of the plantation mills and have it
ground. Owing to the many varieties
and small lots all ready for the har-
vester at different seasons, this was
impracticable this year. The small
amount of cane used to obtain results
from is grown at the Station in a small
horsepower mill.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-03-06

What is not needed for this purpose
is given away to anyone who wants. it,
and the small boy, and the small girl
too, who lives anywhere in the Makfki
region is having a perfectly lovely
time.
One cannot go anywhere in that part
of town beyond Thomas Square with
out seeing the rising generation carry
ing as many sticks of sugar cane as it
has strength for.
Director Eckart of the Experiment
Station estimates roughly that there
will be about 14O tons of cane from the
Experiment Station plots. OF this
about sixty tons will be ground at the
station as a part fthe experiments.
The other eighty tons are being given
away. Formerly when the experiment
tai plots were larger, the cane was
sent to Eva to be made into sugar
This year such small quantities could
be sent at time that it would not
pay In addition no cane is sent to
any plantation these days without first
beingeXamined so that no new pests
will be sent to any plantation. The
impracticability of examining eighty
tons is apparent.
The results of these experiments,
some of which are considered of very
great Importance, will shortly be pub
lished in a bulletin of the station.

The Orphans r1ite.


In the diplomatic ante-room of the
Department of State at Washington
hangs a rich silk Oriental rug, worth
several hundred dollars, the gift of
penniless orphans to the rich govern
ment of the United States. 1t was re-
ceived near the end of the year 1905,
and accorded place of honor. 1t is
gift fit for king, for it is of silk,
warp, wool and knots, is double faced
with rich nap on both sides, is nearly
three yards long and four feet wide,
and it's two million knots were tied by
hand.
It would have required nearly two
years time for single rug maker to
have made it and it occupied three
months with an average of more than
six workers, knotting each thread into
the warp and wool after the method
of the Oriental rug maker. The
pattern of the rug is that of United
States flag. A skilled worker knCtted
in the following inscriptions:
"Presented in gratitude to the
United States Government by the
Armenian Orphans of Harpoot, Tur-
key"
After the Armenian massacres there
were large numbers of Christian
orphans, left without home or friends
who were gathered into the missions
in different places and fed and clothed
and taught. The cost of their main
tenance was born by friends in
America who left the peculiar obliga-
ton of caring for the children of
Christians who had died for their
faith. Many Of these orphans are
now well grown and have been taught
rug making as means of earning
living.
Among them it has been a frequent
question how they could in some way
make known their gratitude to the
people who took them in their dis
tress and furnished them shelter, pro-
lection and an education. To send
any adequate testimonial to each in
dividual who had helped them was
impossible and formal letters Or
thanks were not enough. Moreover,
they felt that in a very real sense the
whole nation had been their protector
It's flag had been over the missions,
symbol of freedom and of hope. To
it's shelter they had fed and beneath
it they had been secure.
