INTERESTING SERVICE
At THE OAHU PRISON

Mrs. Bruce McV. Mackall has seldom
had more appreciative audience than
she had yesterday at the Thanksgiving
services at Oahu Prison. She sang and
the prisoners begged her to sing again,
a request with which she graciously
complied, and at the close of the SER
vice she led the singing by the entire
gathering.
The services at Oahu Prison were
carried out at 2:30 o'clock yesterday
according to the program published in
the Advertiser yesterday morning. The
music under the direction of Mrs. Hare
was especially enjoyable and enjoyed.

SHARK FISHING
GOOD YESTERDAY

Hooking four sharks in the course OF
two hours fishing and landing two of
them, one big fellow fourteen feet
long, off the mouth of the harbor, was
the record made yesterday by E. Mil
Ter, Julius Nunes and Frank Zerbe.
One of the sharks brought in is still
alive and swimming about the Young
Brothers boathouse, tethered by the
tail to one of the piles. The sharks
were caught by buoyed hooks, two of
them having been taken out in the
morning and placed near No. buoy,
the fisherman watching their big floats
through a glass from shore. The first
bite proved to be false alarm, the
fish letting go before the launch got
to the buoy, but on the second trip
out it was found that both baits had
been taken, a big fourteen-foot fish
being on one hook and an eight-footer
on the other. After an hours fight the
two were hauled in.
In the meanwhile another big shark
attracted by the fighting, nosed his
way about the launch, and after some
angling this oDe was also hooked He
got away, however after putting up
ten-minute fight.
The tethered shark is particularly
lively and an invitation has been ex-
tended to Red Rog Devereaux to put
on his chaps and spurs, bring along
his saddle and break in the fish. The
jaws of the dead one will be cut out
today, and it is probable that souvenir
teeth will be passed around among the
visiting ball players.

Boston.-It is only defalcation of
magnitude that attracts more than To-
cal attention.
When the wrongdoing of President
Frank Nipple caused the $4,000 900
crash of the Real Estate Trust com
pany, of Philadelphia when Paul o.
Stensland wrecked the Milwaukee
Avenue State bank of Chicago through
his misrepresentation of $1,500,000 and
when, more recently, Treasurer Will

$685. 900 of securities belonging to the
Savings Bank of New Britain, Conn

world pauses to gasp at the enormity
Of the crime and to bestow fleeing
pity upon the victims.
Now and then a remarkable theft
attracts more than ordinary atten-
ton because of the difficulties over
come Only short time ago 1t was
announced that $4,000 in currency
had been stolen from the United
States sub-treasury at Chicago under
circumstances that baffled a score of
keen-witted secret service men.
But, as Pierre Jay, commissioner of
banking of Massachusetts, has point
ed out, there are many embellishments
that are never known by the public.
The amounts involved are made good
by relatives and friends, or are quiet
ly charged up to profit and loss

but one should remember that there
are great number of institutions

Causes of Dishonesty.
But what causes dishonesty among
employees and officials of financial in
stitutions?
Why do men. occupying positions of
trust and honor, who are generally re-
spected, stand high, often in the
church, are morally clean, so far as
known, with families and pleasant
homes-why do they become thieves
and purloin thousands of dollars not
their own?

men who have betrayed their trust,

They usually have access to tAe
vaults where money and bonds are
deposited.
Although there is usually some ap-
parent reason why men become de-
faulters, sometimes 1t is impossible to
find the cause: ii seems Incompetent
sible to the men themselves.
Concerning such cases, the presi-
dent of prominent surety company
has made an interesting statement:
Presidents of banks and trust com
panies who sometimes involve their
institutions for large sums are often
condemned for dishonesty when their
real fault is bad judgment. 1t may
be that the president has conducted
his bank on conservative lines until
he is implicitly trusted, The board OF
directors gladly intrusts its own re-
sponsibilities upon his shoulders and
leaves him to run the business.

He presents scheme that is daring,

How to Prevent Lootine.
Orson Smith, one of Chicago's best
exposure, declared that a new Law of
incorporation was necessary to pre-
vent the footing of banks.
The state bank examinations are
all right" he said. mo law you can
frame will prevent thief from steal
your money in his hands and he is
sure to run away with it If the way is
open.
Suppose you are carrying in your
vaults lot of fraudulent paper, which
on its face appears to be all straight,
how is any bank examiner going to
discover it? 1t is absolutely impossi-
BILE for him to prove the genuineness
or falseness of every signature on the
paper that is shown him as securities
held by the bank as collateral for
loans. He must simply take them to
be what they appear to be on the face.
The state bank examination law
is all right, and it is just as efficiently
administered as the national bank
law. 1t is not so much change in
the law regarding examinations we
want as a law regarding the incor-
poration of banks.
1T is much too easy 10 incorporate
