SMALL sLEUTHS
TRAIL LOPEZ

Lopez is still uncaptured but an offer
of s75 reward by High Sheriff Henry
has put a host of amateur detectives
on his trail.
Yesterday the highways, byways.
fields and hedgerows of Kalihi were
thoroughly searched by amateur Sher-
lock Holmses, but up to the time of
going to press the bandit was still at
large.
The small boys of the Kalihi district
entered into the pursuit of Lopez with
heart and soul. Detective bands were
organized and he strangers in the dis
trict were submitted to the strictest
scrutiny. Baseball for the nonce gave
way to bandit hunting.
One band of small boys carried
couple of lariats. an air-gun. and had
the bottoms of tin cans pinned on
their shirts.
A Portuguese who came up from the
makai district to attend funeral was
accosted by the band and had it not
been that he was able to make a salts
factory explanation of his presence
where he was surrounded, there is no
knowing that he might have been
roped. tied and taken to town.
Two of the budding Vidocs were so
led away by their enthusiasm that they
stayed out long after shutdown, the re-
suit being that their fond parents did
little detective work on their own
account. which resulted in the discov-
cry of the small sleuths and the admin
istration Of the third degree by their
respective peppers and mommers.
The Kallhi people do not believe that
Il was Lopez who visited the district
last week. They incline TO the belief
that the man was another Porto Rican
who has until recently, been domiciled
at 1wilei Lopez is short man while
the man seen at Kallhi is generally
described as being OF good height
The latest report Is that Lopez was
seen and recognized early on Friday

tematically followed the windings of
all the roads leading to the town.
Their movements caused him to con-
clude that they were map-makers.
About the same time two japanese
men who were fishing in the bay at
| Manila attracted attention. There was
nothing about their appearance to in
| dictate that they were other than what
they pretended to be. They lived in
poor quarters and sold their catch
regularly in the market, but the man
ner in which they shifted about from
one place to another finally caused
them to be brought under surveil-
lance. 1t was then discovered that
when no one was near they were en-
gagged in making soundings. evidently
for the purpose of accurately chart
ing the harbor for the war Office in
Toxic.
A newspaper correspondent in Yo-
kohama had an experience which IL
Illustrated the perfect system of keep
ing a check on the whereabouts Of
foreigners in the country. He was in
vited to the police station to see an
expert lnSlrucllng the raw recruits
for the police force in the science of
jiu-jitsu. The chief of police told the
correspondent that he would have
some facts typewriter in English and
would send them around to the hotel |
next day. The correspondent had |
moved that morning from one hotel to |
another, and as he was leaving the |
police station he happened to think
of this and returned to leave his new
address The chief smiled and turned
to the register. showing the foreign
ar the corrected address after his
name. The system was so complete
that the removal had been entered at
headquarters almost before the lug
gage had arrived at the new place.
A recent exposure revealed the
clever manner in which the japanese
war office had been keeping in touch
with military matters in Germany.
One of the trusted agents of the Mi
lado's bureau of secret information
earned the BARRIERS trade and in
some manner secured a place in

large military club in Berlin. Here
he came into personal contact with
the leading military lights of the
Kaiser's realm. By listening to the
confidential gossip around him he
learned many military secrets and
found that the real opinion of many
prominent German officials in regard
to japanese matters was quite the
contrary to what had been expressed
through diplomatic channels. When
the real character of this clever little
Oriental was disclosed, there was a
great commotion in German military
circles. No more japanese BARRIERS
need apply in Berlin.
While the activity of the Japanese
secret service representatives in many
ATTITUDES is unquestioned, it does not
necessarily follow that Japan intends
to declare war with every nation upon
which it is found spying, or upon any
of them for that matter. 1t is a good
thing for every government to be as
well posted about its neighbors as
possible, and as matter of fact it IS
most difficult to keep military secrets
nowadays. However, other nations do
not tgo quite as far in espionage as
the japanese, nor do they assign Cit
liens of high standing to such ordi-
nary tasks. If the American Govern
ment should determine to pattern after
the Japanese. and to go them one bet.
ter on their system, we might one day
hear of the Honorable William H. Taft
taking observations in Toxic in the
guise of a fat wrestler, or of General
J. Franklin Bell impersonating a jim

STOLE CIGARS
TO SMUGGLE

Eric Mattson, a deck hand aboard
the United States transport Dix, is
detained in custody at the police sta
ton on a charge of smuggling stolen
goods, or, rather he is held for in
vestigation and the official charge has
not yet been placed.
Customs Inspector Albert Mitchell
caught the sailor endeavoring to get
a thousand or more Manila cigars
over the port bow of the troopship to
the Alakea street wharf on Saturday
night, and took him into custody. 1t
was claimed aboard ship that the CT
gars were stolen By Mattson and he
was adding smuggling to the crime of
theft.
Aboard ship the capture was as
much of a surprise as it was to Matt
son himself. Many were not aware
until today that the deck hand had
been placed under arrest, or that there
had been any Smuggling attempted.
1t was Matrson's idea to sell the CT
CARS and there are said to be one or
two others interested with him in the
contemplated deal. Further, it is re-
ported that upon realizing on the
cigars Mattson and another were to
have taken the American Hawaiian
S. S. Despatch for Kauai yesterday
afternoon. They were evidently not
aware of the fact that the Despatch
does not carry passengers, but their
reported determination to get away
from the island. combining SNUG
Cling venture with leaving the ship,
was formed on the fact that the De-
spatch was the only island boat leav-
ing this harbor yesterday.
Mattson found the Job OF getting
cigars in boxes over the port bow OF
the high transport at the Alal1ea street
wharf much more than he reckoned
FOR He had sized IN the customs
guards In the vicinity during the day
and had learned from some OF the men
aboard, who are well acquainted with
the customs officers by sight, Just who
was an inspector and who was not. for
he was cautious enough to suppose
that there might be an officer on
watch without uniform nut he recit-
ohed without MITCHELL who was not

These resolutions were adopted last
night at a mass meeting of Hawai-
ians in Aala Park, at which four
speakers scored the applicant for re-
appointment to the Board of Health
presidency for his neglect Of the Ha.
waiian people.
''Pinkham is very anxious to spend
the peoples money in catching rats,
but when it comes to building a home
for the little boys of the Settlement,
he is in no hurry at ALL" announced
Sam Kaloa, one of the speakers.
when it comes to spending money
for the haole planters and the haole
business men, Pinkham is hard
worker, but when it comes to spend
ing anything to relieve the poor Ha-
waiians, Pinkham is never willing"
About three hundred people were
gathered before the speakers stand,
and enthusiasm was aroused at inter-
walls when a particularly telling shot
was fired into the applicant for re-
appointment. John Sheldon, Fred

RYAN HEARS
FROM THOMAS

Admiral Thomas. now in command
of the Pacific Fleet, will leave the
fleet in May. p. F. Ryan having re-
ceived letter from the admiral the
other day in which he stated that he
would leave the fleet next month and
therefore would be unable to greet him
in Honolulu.
Thomas and Ryan were shipmates
aboard the old frigate Hartford in
1884. the former being then executive
officer of the Hartford. while Ryan
was coxswain of Admiral Hughes
barge. Both men have got alongsince
those days and there has always been
warm bond of friendship existing
between the two.
Ryan was much disappointed to
hear that he would not have a chance
to talk over old navy times with his
commander during the visit of the
Pacific Fleet in July.

tional convention of 1908, which is to
nominate candidates for the offices Of
president and vice president of the
United States, was called to order
shortly after moo by Chairman Tag
CART of the national committee. The
unusual feature of the first days pro-
ceedings was an early adjournment as
a mark of respect to the memory of
the late eX-President Grover Cleve-
land, the last Democrat who occupied
the exalted office of chief magistrate
of the nation. This adjournment. how
ever, did not delay materially the work
of the convention, for today's session
was, as usual, preliminary in it's ma
ture, including only the call to order
by Chairman Taggart, the reading Of
the call for the convention by Secre-
tary Trey Woodson. the opening
prayer by Archbishop John ]. Keane
of Wyoming, the announcement of the
temporary convention officers selected
by the national committee and their
confirmation by the convention, the
opening address by Temporary Chair
mar Theodore Bell of California and
the announcement of the several COM
mittees selected by the caucuses of
the state delegations.
