If the Territory of Hawaii can give
assurances that actual settlers can get
land here enough for them to live on
some advice as to what to plant and
an assurance of a market for the prod
use, there are thousands of well-to-dc
farmers who would come here and make
their homes in Hawaii. This was the
substance of the assurances made to the
members of the Promotion Committee
yesterday afternoon by Frederick New
ell, Director of the United States Re
clamation Service, who told where the
homeseekers were to be found, how they
might be brought here and in what man
ner other communities had worked UP
their markets and cooperated in selling
farm products.
''I was sent here by Secretary Gar
field,'' said Mr. Newell, in the course
of a more or less informal talk before
the committee, "because a strong i'm
preston had been made upon him of the
possibilities here and the necessity of
the Federal government giving at least
its moral support to the Territorial
government in its attempt to settle the
problems of populating these lands. We
want to get more citizens here of the
right type. We want to protect the
rights of the natives just as we pro-
ectsd-fhe rights of the Indians and see
that they get homesteads and we want
also to get the best type of American
farmers here to carry out the tradi-
tional American policy of small holdings
with their owners living on them and
developing the lands and the country.
We do not want homesteaders to take
up lands with view to selling out, nor
those who want large tracts, but tracts
large enough to live on and make liv-
ing on
"There are hundreds of thousands of
such land seekers. Ny office is in re-
ceipt of two thousand letters from such
people every week. For instance, here
is a clerk in Boston store who has
been brought up on a farm and wants
to get back to the land; here is far
mer in Minnesota, tired of the long,
hard winters, who wants to get into
better climate and asks us where he
should go. That class of men write to
us. We are advising them to go to
Southern California, to Oregon or
Nevada, and there is no reason why we
cannot advise them to come to Hawaii,
for you have a climate here that they
would thoroughly enjoy. Most of these
men are middleaged and have some
money Now, if you can tell them in
a general way where they can go to get
land it will help to settle your problem.
GA man does not want to come here
and have to ramble all around the Is
lands looking for piece of land that
will suit him and then find, when he
comes to buy, that he has to go in and
bid against others for it or that the
price has been showed away up on him.
BE wants to know something definite
He wants to be told, for instance:
There is land that you can get on the
Waimea plains. or 'sueh and such
tracts in Hamakua are on the mar.
ket.' |

you to tell a man where TO GO Find |

And at that psychological moment
two other guards appeared in the
courtyard with Frederick Banheld
walking between them.
McGloin was out Of his chair now
gazing down into the yard with bul
ging eyes. The cold sweat stood out
in little beads on his forehead
In fact" resumed the Inspector,
we really have three men who know
all about the murder and who are
probably prepared TO tell all they
know"
The guards appeared again, this
time leading Robert Morrisey.
McGloin turned TO his inqulsitor. The
look in those steely eyes seemed to
hold every detail OF his awful secret
He could stand the strain no longer.
He threw up his hands and fell on the
floor in a heap. crying out:
Il did I'll did ~ Stop! For Gods
sake. stopl"
Thus ended the most dramatic in
teryiew ever held In a police head
quarters. What followed was merely
detail. As soon as McGIoin recovered
his selfpossession he sat down and
confessed In detail the story OF the
murder Of Louis Hanier.
II appears that the four rowdies
had been sporting" the shop of the
French wine seller for many days
They believed that he would have a
large sum of money in the house at
the close OF the holiday trade. and
they deliberately conceived the plan
OF robblng the old man. They knew
enough about their unlawful trade to
get into the shop without difficulty.
They had been drinking. At any rate,
they made so much noise they reused
Hanier from his slumbers. He ap.
peared on the landing at the head OF
the stairway partly dressed. Nc
Gloin, who was at the foot OF the
stairs, instincively reached for his
revolver. and pulling the trigger fired
at the defenseless shopkeeper. The
aim was only too true. The bullet en-.
tered the heart OF Louis Hanier and
he rolled down the stairs a llfeless
lump Of clay.
This. in substance. was the confes.
sion as II was CLEANED from the lips
of the murderer and his confederates.
His one cry TO Inspector Byrnes was
Save me! Save me! Do not let
them hang mel"
But the grim detective. who had
forced the truth from unwilling lips,
made no reply to this hysterical ap.
peal, and In due course OF time, after

CHASTITY history connected with each
OF the bloody souvenirs. He dwelt
upon each story lovingly as a collec-
tor would do who had a fad for gath
ering queer prizes. Through II all
McGIoin preserved a stolid look. He
appeared to take little interest In the
recital, which, whatever else IL might
seem, was INCREASINGLY interesting.
Brynes realized that he had no or
binary man to deal with. McGloin was
devoid OF sentiment and apparently
was ignorant of emotion Of any kind.
The inspector moved slowly and eau
tiously. He had his part down TO per
lection. He must not overdo IL. He
must not show signs OF impotence.
He sat down at his desk and nodded
pleasantly and waved his hand In the
direction OF the vacant chair. Nc
Gloin accepted the invitation and sat
down facing tho courtyard.
Now, Mr.. McGloin,' said the In
spector in his most purring tones,
you're a man about town and you
learn most OF the things that are go
ing on, won't you tell me what you
know about the Hanier murder?"
Il don't know anything about It. Z"
was the logged reply.
The inspector arched his eyebrows
in surprise.
Don't know anything about it?" he
echoed
No"
You're New Yorker"
Yes"
Have you been out of the city
lately?"
The prisoner darted quick look OF
suspicion at his questioner. Was this
a trick? He answered definatly:

for over a year. l don't have to go

"Of course not" said the inspector
soothhgly.

he resumed after a pause.

over to a table in the room, laid an

McGloin turned around deliberately

IL was the pistol with which he had

This unnatural quiet was too much

SS-caliber revolver was discovered in
the mans heart.
He had been murdered.
The French wine merchant had
been doing big holiday trade during
the week before his death, and he had
a large sum of money in his posses
sion. An examination of the prem
Uses proved that the front door had
been jimmied. Hanier had been muir
dered for his money.
And that may was Inspector Byrnes.
Report after report had been made
and the murderer of Louis Hanier
threatened to slip away beneath an
avalanche of red tape. Inspector
Byrnes called for all the papers in the
case. and seated at his desk in Null
berry street he pondered over the
case as a skilled player would study
a problem in chess.
His conclusion was that the crime
had been committed By a professional
burglar. The first order was that
every pawnshop in the limits Of Man
haitian island should be visited TO dis
cover whether a 3g-caliber revolver
had been pledged at any time within
As hours after the murder. Byrnes
argued that while a novice might con-
ceal the weapon professional would
cold-bloodedly attempt to realize
some money out Of 1t.
He was right.
A money lender was found who had
parted with several dollars in return
for the murderous weapon. The next
step was to bring the pawnbroker to
headquarters and have him look over
the thousands Of portraits in the
rogues gallery for the purpose of dis
covering the picture of his erstwhile
customer. Page after page was turned
over and photograph after photograph
was exhibited. and 1t began TO look as
n the quest were to be fruitless. Just
at this point the pawnbroker suddenly
exclaimed:
There's the mani"
The picture he pointed out was that
of Michael McGloln. a parsonage well
known TO the police.
The third step in the plan was to
locate McGloin. That was compare
lively easy He was found in the
haunts OF crime. and for many weary
weeks he was Swallowed. Every move
he made was reported; every word he
uttered was recorded. II required in
finite patience. but the espionage re-
suited in the discovery that on the
night Of the murder McGloin had been
out on spree in the company OF three
of his pals, by name Thomas Moran,
Frederick Banfield and Robert Morri-
sey.
The case had now reached a stage
portance. A single false move might
ruin everything. II would be easy
enough to arrest the men on suspi-
cion, but would such a step serve the
cause of Justice? Inspector Byrnes
evidently thought not, for he post
poned that act Professionals, who
did not stop at murder. were adopts in
the making of alibis, and the detective
did not propose to be fooled by such
a device.
He sent a woman TO live with Nc
Gloin. and he supplied her literally
with money. Indeed, there we're times
when the murderer wore the clothes

justified the means. McGloin did not

The wild chattering was succeeded
