 President Daugette Is firm believer in the value and efficiency of man ual training.

Yesterday with Cinnamon, the sixty
eight accused gamblers. being present,
along with numerous friends. In their
case nothing was done, the matter go
ing over until Tuesday There was
something of a block between the grand
jury members, who made the raid, and
the police department, which did the
arresting after all was over. The jury
men, who had made their little eXcur-
sion for the purpose of convincing
themselves that the information COM
ing to them was the straight dope, did
not attempt to secure the evidence for
a police court trial, leaving that to the
police along with the duty of lodging
a complaint against the men arrested
The police, however, felt themselves
"powerless to act" and wanted the
jurymen not only to find the gambling
dens. but also to prosecute the gam
blers, while they sat back and drew
their salaries as spectators of what
they choose to consider a little COM
edy, but which may turn out to be, be-
fore the curtain rings down, something
of a tragedy for more than the China
men.

ination after the arrival OF the Alba
tross at the Coast.
The recent trip of the Albatross about
the Aleutian islands and Japan had
been a noteworthy one, one which
would have redounded to the great
credit of Captain Garrett had he lived.
The Albatross had been out some six
months on her present cruise, carrying
a body of scientists engaged in ocean
ography and scientific research in ma
rine biology. Much information has
been acquired during the voyage and
numerous specimens are aboard the
vessel, being taken to the mainland for
further study and classification.
A short time ago Captain Garrett had
written to Captain Carter, of the local
naval station, informing him Of the
date of his probable arrival at Homo
lulu and stating that he was looking
forward with pleasure to meeting him
again. Captain Carter and the deceas-
ed had been warm personal friends and
the news of his loss which Captain
Carter received when he hurried down
to the vessel to greet him yesterday
morning was a shocking blow.
At the naval station the flag flew at
half mast yesterday in respect and
mourning for the lost captain.

CHINESE THUGS IN TOWN.

Lee Chuck was arrested yesterday on
a warrant subscribed TO by Wong Hing,
who accuses Lee of assault and bat
terry. Two other Cinnamon are wanted
on the same warrant, named as John
Doe and Richard Roe, old offenders in
police circles. There is a story back
of this arrest. which deals with thugs
and highbinders. little part of which
has come out. According to the story
told, the two Cinnamon wanted are the
ones who actually committed the as
sault, Lee Chuck being the instigator
only. The aggressive pair are thugs,
brought in from a plantation to do up

The crowd grew as the evening aged

some of the low kind carped because

The holoku dance given by the Ma

marks on it and wound up in tropic
bloom.
Princess Theresa Wilcox, president OF
the society, organized the function and

their money which amounted to SIS,

they had earned their wages, hence the
deadlock.
Then the hall man wanted to see the
color of the rent before a dance pro-

Unfortunately Mrs. Wilcox had left
her purse at home on the royal escri-

the musicians request for coin.

CAPT GARRETT LOST
OVERHEARD IN STORM
u. S. $. Albatross Arrives With Flag tial-Masted
Deceased Popular in Service---Crew
Mourn Loss OF Commander.

Lieutenant Commander Leroy NJ
Garrett, the commander of the U. S. S.
Albatross, was lost overheard from his
vessel on Wednesday night last, some
800 miles out from this port. This is
the sad news brought by that vessel,
which arrived from Yokohama yester-
day morning, homeward bound, her flag
half-masted in token of her mourning.
The loss of Commander Garrett has
cast a gloom over the ships company,
he having been very popular among
his officers and men and with the
scientists aboard the Fish Commission
steamship.
Lieutenant A. J. Hepburn, the execu-
tive officer and navigator of the Alba
tross. who has been in command since
Wednesday, tells the story of the acct
dent as follows:
THE captain was lost about half past
seven on the evening of November p.
AT that time the Albatross was about
500 miles southwest of Honolulu, to-
wards which we were sailing with all

sails set and under full steam, making
about eleven knots. There was a heavy
sea running on our port beam.
THE captain had gone on the poop
after dinner and was sitting in a re-
clining chair on the port side At least
that is the supposition, for none saw
the accident, and whatever account
am able to give is only what we have
agreed must have been the circum-
stances as they happened.
about 7:30 the ship gave a heavy
lurch to starboard and the deck chair
Slid across the slippery canvas cover
ed deck, striking the starboard rail
with force enough to tear loose one of
the wire netting panels and jam the
deck chair half through the gap. The
captain was either thrown over the
low rail or through the torn netting,
probably over, as otherwise it would
seem that he could have held on to
the chair and so saved himself.
1T is probable that the first cry of
man overheard was given by the cap
tain himself AT least, just after the
