The BURGLAR Of
DIAMOND HEAD
Judge Dole's Watch Found
Beach BurgIaries Ac-
counted For.

Matsu. the japanese who had a
snack on the side of Diamond Head
ana who committed a number OF
petty burglaries in that region, was
taken out there yesterday by Chief OF
| Detectives Taylor and an interpreter
When the japanese was first arrested
it was thought his name was Moro
motto.
I IL IS now certain that this Japanese
! Is the japanese fisherman who disap-
peared from Kakaako about two
months ago, and about whose disap
pearanee the other japanese of the
helghborhood were much alarmed be-
cause they believed him at least
slightly demented and did not know
what might have become of him. He
gives every indication now of being
demented, though there seems a. con-
siderable cunning in his manner and
actions.
answers to questions We're very diff
hcult to obtain from him, apparently
not SO much from unwillingness to
answer as from his inability to con-
centrate his mind on the subject
asked about. When asked how he
lived, he. said he begged; he begged
in the night time, not in the day
time, that he waited until people
We're asleep and then he let himself
into their Kitchens; that he used the
key he had filed down to a skeleton,
but that this skeleton key had be-
come bent lately and did not work
we'll. That it is bent is a fact. He
pointed out several places where he
had got food, these places including
the Rev. John Usborne's place, c. f.
Clemens and the DoIes'
He was questioned for a long time
before he seemed able to tell what
had become of Judge Doles watch
Finally he said it had been broken up
and scattered all over the mountain
Later he said he had put it in a hole
A search was made for the hole.
Finally Taylor discovered a sort of
cairn surrounded by a circle of rocks
as though marking a spot. When this
was pointed out to him he said that
was where the hole was. The hole
was found. It was not more than
three or four inches in diameter and
about foot deep. Search in it found
the watch, but, as Matsu had said,
all broken up. Most of the parts Of
the watch, Swiss movement made
in London, and which Judge Dole had
had many years and highly priced.
were found. The only reason Matsu
could give why he had broken the
watch was that he had done it for
fun
The capture of Matsu accounts
for all of the burglaries and sneak
thieving and mysterious attempts at
entering houses which have been re-
ported to the police from Diamond
Head region. The police have been
watching for Matsu for about three
weeks, as reports had come to them
of a mysterious Japanese seen at
times, usually in the evening, moving
about furtively. The police had dis
covered the shack and were expecting
to capture the man at any time. The
that he had returned TO
his shack Sunday was telephoned in
by some Portuguese, and the capture
was made.
Matsu has been formally charged |
on the police blotter with larceny in
the first degree, for the stealing of |
Judge Dole's watch.

MARINE

t Yesterday morning, shortly after {
o'clock, the Sierra came in and was
docked alongside the Oceanic wharf.
She brought an unusually large mas
senger list from the Coast, many of
those on board being tourists who have
come down here to spend a few weeks
| and enjoy the climate of this city.
The most important arrivals, however,
from a local standpoint, were the
members of the team which went from
this city 10 shoot in the national rifle
matches at Camp Perry, Ohio
The Sierra brought in 1900 tons of
freight for this city and will take back
in the neighborhood of 1000 tons. She
will sail for San Francisco Friday
afternoon at o'clock. The principal
articles OF freight which she will carry
will be 10000 bags Of raw sugar, which
are to be refined. on the Coast, 5000
cases of pineapples, and 5000 punches
Of bananas. Besides this there Will be
a number Of Smaller shipments of
fresh fruits including pineapples and
few alligator pears, which are left
in the local market.
The Sierra arrived yesterday with a
clean bill of health and there was not
the least suspicion of sickness on
board, to the great relief of her local
agents, who have been worrying over
the sickness which was on board when
she came in last. That she came in
in such good shape yesterday shows
how thorough and careful the fumiga-
ton which destroyed every germ on
board must have been.
The present trip is the last which
viii be made to this city for some time
by the Sierra as the Alameda will come
back on her regular run on the next
trip When asked what would be done
with the Sierra, Captain Houdlette
shook his head with smile and said
that he would like to know that very
thing himself. He stated that the
Sonoma and the Ventura were both
laid up in the bay in san Francisco
and that he supposed the Sierra would
join them, but had had no orders so
could not say.
The crews of the other two boats,
with the exception of one or two men
who have work as caretakers on the
vessels, have been discharged. Cap
tain Trask, SO Captain Houdlette
states, has been placed on the Mari
posa for a few trips. He has the place
of captain Lawless who is taking
vacation in the form of trip to
Europe, where he has been proposed
as a member of the Geographical So
ciety, on account of important data
which he has furnished in connection
with the various islands and reefs In
the Pacific Ocean.
