There was trouble on Young street
Monday night. A huge red automobile
chug-chugged on the block between
Alapai and Kapiolani from early In
the evening till the wee sma hours of
the night The Governors rmivae
secretary, Attorney Claudius Harley
Mcbride, with a NOTE of authority
from some source, wearing the badge
of special officer and accompanied
by corps of Chinese detectives, tore
madly around the domicile of the
Kapu Wahine club in the vain en-,
deavor to locate one Wong Moon Tong
otherwise known as Sam who acts
as kitchen mechanic for the Lady
Proof Association.
Poor Wong had not only told an
untruth to the Secretary of the Ter
ritory, but had also been caught tell
ing it, according to the Vidoc of the
Robins Egg Blue Chamber He swore
that he was born in Hawaii, which
was very naughty, for Claudius says
that his queue began to grow in the
realm of the sacred dragon. That
will of course, have to be proved in
the courts, for the Acknowledged per-
jurer, if such he be, is languishing
in the depths of a cell at the police
station.
1t seems that the warrant was is
sued for the arrest of Wing Moon
Tong Monday noon, and though he
he was at the Kapu Wahine Club man
sion, cooking their evening meal, the
whole town was secured for him from
Waikiki to Kalihi, the energy of the
pursuit requiring the big five-seated
auto, at S. per hour. Finally the
scent was found. Some clever genius,
It was probably Ali, who was second
chief in command of the Battalion
Of Special Searchers for a Chinaman
with a Cast in One Eye and a lump
on his Left Hind Hook" who did It.
It was thought that possibly he might
be at home, asleep.
A trip was made to Young street at
$3.50. Mcbride in voice of thunder
LCllllldGu Chll he was
told that his name was Dennis in the
house where he had once graced the
board. Again he returned, this time
armed with brass badge of authority
Once more he was told that his pres
9nce was not desired. On the third
visit it was decided that the entire
'orce should investigate the servants
quarters behind the main building. A
approach was made. Nc
Bride whistled on his toes three times
as a signal to advance. The door was
broken in. The culprit was found
asleep and placed in double irons,
with Oregon boots and ball and
chain.
But the fun did not end here, al
though it was almost midnight. Down
to the police station was the shivering
prisoner taken and placed in durance
vile. Then Special Officer Claudius
Harley once more returned to Young
street, still with the big red choo-
choo car. While it snorted outside
the entrance of the Kapu Wahines,
Mcbride demanded admittance. Sleepy
voices answered and he was gracious
" received A few moments later
he was just as graciously and firmly
elected, with the admonition that it
was pretty, but was brass, and that he
wrong place to call That the badge
was pretty but was brass, and that he
was lucky not to be charged with dis
the quiet of the night, when
making calls at 1870 in the morning.
