A Fudge" Sale.

be fudge" sale. SO they sent out cards
to their friends announcing that fudge
could be purchased on such and such .
date, giving the house number.

"fudge" and were really very clever.

Plain fudge. which Is the foundation
of nl1 the other varieties, is made by
taking two cups OF granulated sugar,

ing, add the vanilla when taken from
the flre, beat hard until thick, turn onto
a buttered pan, mark into squares with
knife which has been dipped In cold
water.
Nut fudge is made by stirring in any
nut meat preferred when 1t is ready to be
taken from the fire. Cocoanut may be
used, also candied fruits. chopped rather
fine.
Maple fudge Is made by using light
brown sugar. instead of granulated, and
leaving out the chocolate.
Each masculine "helper" wore white
apron, and assisted or hindered to the
best of his ability. All voted the party
great success and the sale which took
place the next day netted goodly sum.

LOPEZ IN SEARCH
OF HIMSELF
CARRIED \ BOGUS POLICE BADGE
AND A PICTURE OF HIMSELF
PERSONATED THE POLICE.

Lopez the Porto Rican convict who
escaped about two or three months
since, and was captured at Waialua
last night, was brought to the police
station this morning
He has been in the neighborhood Of
Waialua almost ever since he escaped.
One day he was at the Waialua court
house and seeing a poster with his pic
ture on it, and an offer - a reward for
his recapture, he tore the poster down
and into bits.
In some way he was able To secure
one of these posters, and ne also made
q sort of an imitation police badge out
of "a piece of a tin can. With this
badge he would go into Japanese camps
and claim to be "a Porto Rican police
man looking for the Porto Rican Lopez
who had escaped He would show the
badge as proof of his authority and the
picture of the wanted Lopez as corro-
borative evidence. In this way he would
cOerce the Japanese into giving him
food and small amounts of money.
He has been living in a deserted
shack near one of the pumping stations
on the Waialua plantation, one of the
pumping station employees suspected
who he was and notified Deputy Sheriff
Cox. Cox went in company with a
Porto Rican informer and another Off
Ger and effected Lopez capture Lopez
was armed with a revolver and a knife,
but he was seized by the Porto Rican
before he had a chance to take a shot
at the officers. 1t is not known how he
procured the revolver or knife. He had
quite a supply of ammunition.
Lopez can be given year for escap-
ing, A great many cases of larceny
and robbery could be brought against
him, committed during his stay at Wal
alua. At the time he escaped from jail
the Prison Board was actually consid-
ering his release on parole. He has
served several years in jail on an orig
inal short sentence, the extensions
have been for escaping and attempting
to escape and for other breaches of dis
cipline. He Is looked on by the cherlff's
force as poor miserable specimen of
humanity.
