MAKIKI SNEAK THIEF
IS VERY ELUSIVE

A sneak thief is operating in the Ma
kiki district and has been at work in
some of the homes there for some
days From the way in which he pulls
off his little stunts the police are in
clined to the belief that an altogether
new hand has broken into the game
in Honolulu, especially as the local
crooks with sneak thievery as a spe-
cialty are now either all in Jail or
where the police can watch them. None
of these are responsible for the Makiki
jobs and the police are rather nom
plussed For over week the whole
special detachment has been working
on this one case almost exclusively
and the members feel that the honor
of their force is at stake.
One obstacle that is proving the
hardest thing for the police TO over
come and which is the greatest safe
guard of the sneak thief is the neglect
of the persons suffering at the hands
of the pilferer to report promptly to
the police. The officers have not even
descritiop to go upon nor has the
presence of any suspicious person in
the affected neighborhood been report
ed. Some cases of petty robbery have
not been reported at all and in prac-
tically every report that has been re-
ceived the notification to the police
was many hours and sometimes days
after the occurrence. Full reports
made as soon as possible after the dis
covery of a theft will assist very ma
terialIy in running the thief down.

N()NEN'S WOES
HONOLULU WOMEN ARE FINDING
RELIEF AT LAST.

1t does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and
pains that afflict humanity: they must
keep up must attend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs. or
headaches. dizzy spells, bearing-down
pains; they must stoop over. when to
stoop means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney ills. Kid
neys cause more suffering than any
other organ of the body. Keep the
kidneys well and health is easily main
tanned. Read of a remedy for kidneys
only that helps and cures the kidneys
and is endorsed by people you know
Mrs. Emma Vieira, of King street
Honolulu, says: For three or four
years ] had the misfortune to be af-
fiicted with an aching back. The pain
and discomfort this entailed on me can
be better imagined than described
have two children, and 1t was of course
difficult for me TO attend to them
while oppressed with suffering. The
way in which I found relief eventually
was by using Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills, procured at the HOLSTER Drug
Co.'s store. They did me a large
amount of good. as I now testify. I
should certainly recommend those who
have backache or any other form Of
kidney trouble to try Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills"

THREE LANGUAGES
USED IN COURT
Question Asked in Hawaiian
and Interpreted
Twice.

| Judge Dole and a jury yesterday
morning began the trial of All Wan
an aged Chinaman who is indicted on
the charge of illicit distilling.
Last December Lieutenant Luahiwa
with a posse of officers, made a raid
lup Kalihi-waena and discovered a
crude still. just ready TO be used. with
five barrels of mash ready to be trans
formed by the alchemy of the worm,
and small quantity of the finished
product Two men were found there,
All Wan and All Sal. All Wan was
chopping the wood ready to fire the
still.
All Sal pleaded guilty in the police
court TO selling liquor without a IL
cense, and was fined hundred dol
lars, and in the Federal court with
Illicit distilling, and was sentenced to
six months Imprisonment and to pay
a fine and costs of s542.2o. In his evil
dence he took all the blame on him
self and exculpated All Wan.
All Wan pleaded not guilty and is
being defended by Judge Kaulukou.
William T. Rawlins is prosecuting
Judge Dole allowed Judge Kaulukou
to ask his questions in Hawaiian.
From that language they had to be
interpreted into English for the benefit
of the jury and into Chinese for the
benefit of the defendant. Deputy Uni
ted States Attorney Rawlins under
stands Hawaiian, and so was frequent
ly before the court with an objection
to a question and an argument in sup
port of his objection before the jury
knew what the question was.
The case goes on today.
LACKS JURISDICTION.
In the partition suit of Lilikalani
Fern and others against Becky K.
Chang and others, in which the plain
tiffs asked for a partition of certain
lands, Judge Lindsay yesterday decid-
ed that he was without jurisdiction in
this proceeding. Some of the defend
ANTS deny that the plaintiffs have any
title, or that they have the title they
claim The matter is therefore one
for an ejectment suit to determine the
question of title.
DIVORCE GRANTED.
Judge Lindsay yesterday granted a
divorce to Lucy Kamaka from her hus-
band Kamaka. on the ground of non
support.
THE SEGREGATION LAW.
President l. E. Cofer of the Board
of Health by Deputy Attorney Cen
eral A. D. Larnach, has filed a motion
in the Circuit Court asking that a day
be fixed for the hearing of the habeas
corpus proceeding on the petition of
Anamalia Maunakea. This case was
continued on April until after the
Supreme Court had decided on the
application of Aiana on behalf of
Mary Keliihopeole Kaumakahia.
These are the cases brought to test
the right of the Board of Health to
enforce the segregation laws and send
lepers to Molokai. The appeal to the
Supreme Court was never perfected.
PETITION FOR PROBATE.
A petition for the appointment of an
administrator of the estate of Pefani,
a woman who died last August at Wal
kele, was yesterday filed in the Cir
cult Court. The petitioner IS solomon
Kauhane. The estate is valued at
about $500.

Pear shaped balloons are the fashion
in Belgium. The point is upward, the
base of the balloon is spherical. 1t is
claimed that balloons of this shape
pierce the air vertically with far great
er speed than the ordinary spherical
balloon. Consequently they are steadfer
Also the upper pointed end prevents
the accumulation of moisture or snow
on the surface, which frequently weighs
a balloon down and destroys its power
TO rise.

and since his demise the government
has made no arrangements for the
appointment of a register at Williston,
it being understood that no agreement
has vet been reached among the
North Dakota politicians as to the de.
sired appointee to take Chaffee's
place. Over 100 homesteaders on the
government homestead land in the
district under the jurisdiction Of the
Williston office are already appealing
to the federal government for some
one to take their final proofs, which
should have been made in the past
five weeks or are due to be made in
the month of August. AS there is as
yet no indication that an officer will
be located at the Williston Office for
some time, they are becoming anxious
and in some cases have. actually given
up hopes of proving UP ait all, and
have. abandoned their homesteads.
