MRS. A. ". EAMES
DIES IN OAKLAND

A cablegram from Oakland, Califor
mia, sent at 7:15 p. m. yesterday, states
that "Mrs. A. w. Eames died today
The cause of death was not given. Mr.
Games went to the Coast several weeks
ago and is believed to have been with
his wife when she died.
The news is a shock to her friends,
especially as they did not know she
was i'll.
Mrs. Eames was woman of fine
physique and, apparently, when she left
Wahiawa for the Coast, to supervise
the education of her children, was in
the best of health. She was an in
telleetual woman, an occasional lee
turer and a frequent writer for the

Mr.. AND MRS. BOWEN
TAKE THEIR DEPARTURE

Mr.. and Mrs. w. a. Bowen left in
the Siberia and may not return to Ho-
nolulu, which has been their home for
many years. AS member and offi-
Ger of Castle & Cooke, Ltd, and plant
ing companies in that agency, MI
Bowen has been one of Honolulu
leading business men. OF late years he
has overtasked his not too rugged con-
stitution, and recently from fear OF
nervous breakdown he decided to re-
tire, at least for a time, from active
business.
They will 60 first to Southern Cali
fornia and thence to Mr.. Bowen's old
home in Ohio. Prior to leaving Mr.
Bowen could not say whether they
would return to the islands. 1t VIII
be the earnest hope that Mr.. Bowen
may have speedy recovery from change
of air and scene and that Mrs. Bowen
and himself will before long resume
their useful parts in the life Of this
community.
Mr.. Bowen has been very active in
religious and benevolent circles ana
his absence will be greatly regretteO
by all who have been associated with
him therein or even have had knoWI-
edge of his potent endeavors for the
benefit of his fellowmen. The Portu-
guese gave him a farewell reception
at their church Sunday night, when
large number shook hands with him
and wished Kim every blessing. Mem
bers of the Methodist church in Homo
lulu presented him with 81 handsome
album of Hawaiian views.

TAX RATES

Last Year.

Irvington's current tax rate was off,
cially announced as STA on 500 valua-
tion by the County Tax Board today.
which is completing its suburban list Of
rates as rapidly as possible This is a
jump of ten points, as last year it was
1854
The figure for this year is based on
valuation of Of Sc, 200, ,4e1. Tl.. assess
ment as originally put in by the asses
sors was on $6.199, ,553, but the county
board, after going over the returns de-
cided to increase the valuations Of the
Public Service Corporation in Irvington
by 1898, bringing the total on which
the rate is now based.
Last year the valuation was s., 159, ,225.
The figures for Montclair wsre an
nounced later IN the day. ard they
show an increase of five points, the
rate on 500 valuation for this year
being $1.e5 as against last years s1.60.
The valuations on which ties7 figures
are based are $26, 1915. 100 and $24, 7S9 600
respectively.
The necessary increase in the budgets
of these two municipalities accounts
for the increase in their rates. Irving
toms budget last year was So. $50, and
this year it is STATS. Montclairs last
year was s2SS. 1929, and this year it
is $500, ,444.5S.

WOMAN BRINGS ABOUT
CAPTURE OF A THIEF.
Identities Prisoner, Whose Picture Is In
Roguers' Gallery, as Peddler who
stole at Her Home.

Tbrourb the shrewdness of Mrs. Mary
yroom, of ia Ridgewood avenue, ana
the alertness of Policeman Lunny, OF
the Fourth Precinct station, another
thief, with a past record ana "hose
pcture is among those in the Rogue's
Gallery at headquarters, was arrested
late Yesterday afternoon. He is Will
lam Roe. 25 years old a peddler, VINO
lives In boarding house at 10 Null
berry street.
Roe was peddling melons yesterday,
and while Mrs. Vroom was doing
housework in the front of her home
Roe went through the side alleyway
and entered the kitchen, and before
the woman of the house responded
yroom picked up a boys overcoat
valued at &c. and, placing 1t in his bas-
ket, walked to the street.
When Mrs Vroom discovered that the
coat was missing she hurried TO the
front stoop and saw the garment IN
Roe's basket She followed him, and
when she reached nearby drugstore
she telephoned to the Fourth Precinct
station. When Policeman Lunny re-
sponded she gave him a description of
the peddler, who had continued selling
In the neighborhood. Lunny lost no
time in trailing the peddler and soon
had Roe in custody. The man pre-
tended that he was innocent, but Mrs.
vroom. who also followed, identified
the peddler as the thief.
At the station house an investiga-
tion was made and several recognized
Roe as an old timer. The record
showed that he was arrested by Po-
licemen Tully and Kehoe in June. 1897,
for stealing a tub of butter at Centre
Market He admitted this in court to-
day and also that he had served sew
eral terms in the penitentiary.
II have been drinking rum, Judge
he began, "and / took the coat all
right"
The court decided to hold the peddler
In default of $500 for the Grand Jury.
This makes the sixth arrest of thieves
within the Fourth Precinct during the
last several weeks, and all were good
catches.

PHOTOGRAPHERS NABBED
FOR SWAPPING BATHERS
Judge, However, Discharged Them
Policeman Made Arrests Because
Models Were Not Clothed.

Frederick Cooke, 25 years old of 80
Nelson place, and William Coz2oline, %
years old, OF 290 Washington street,
photographers, were placed under ar
rest yesterday by Policeman Campbell,
of the First Precinct station, charged
with taking pictures of nude boys
swimming in the canal at Plane street,
but the policeman did not take the boys
into custody for swimming, although
many protests have been made by resi-
dents in the neighborhood about the
boys and men who use the cana, at this
point as their bathing place and dis
port and enjoy themselves minus bath
ing suits.
When the photographers were taken
into the station house Sergeant McGee-
han did not know what to s'are them
for, and Captain Ryan paroled them
for appearance this morning. The men
told Judge Howell that they went about
the city taking pictures, and when they
were developed if the people wanted
them they could buy them. They
showed the Judge pack of Iictures.
Judge Howell said that he thought the
men were all right and discharged
them without any questioning.
Policeman Campbell was in court to
press the charge and told the judge,
as he was about to discharge the men.
that number of people in the neigh
borhood objected to the men taking OBJ
noxious pictures near Plane street.
Captain Ryan said that every man
whose post touches the canal is in
structed to stop the boys swimming,
but they ind it hard job To catch
the youngsters. According to the testi-
mony of Campbell in court this morn
ing, the swimmers were not bcys but
