MYSTERY BEING
CLEARED UP

A mint of mystery is gradually be-
ing exposed with regard TO thu eoun-
terfeiting enterprise of = gang Of ko-
reans in this Territory. As the Garden
Island remarked in effect. no sooner
had District Attorney Rreckoas, in
Hilo interview, given the gratifying
assurance that ecanterfeiting had been
stamped out than the detection and ar
rest of n Korean. in the act of passing
bogus $40 piece, took place on
Kauai.
An seeompliee OF that eulprit was
quickly thereafter unprecedented. These
cases were supposed to indicate a diff
ferent gang from thssone of which sew
eral members on the other islands had
been brought to justice. Now, how
ever. there has been fresh develop
ment on Kauai which would make it
appear that the operations of the eoun-
terfeiters On all the islands were part
OF wel-organiEed conspiracy by the
subjects of the Hermit Kingdom to
food the Territory with their spurious
mintage and thereby enrich themselves
While the examination of Ong Too
Wan and Kim Hey Won, the two Kore-
ans brought from Kauai last week, was
in progress before Commissioner Hatch
yesterday, wireless message was re-
eeived by Marshal E. Il. Hendry from
Sheriff Rice of Kauai announcing the
arrest of third Korean for completely
in eounterfeiting. A strange story was
that the prisoner told, as briefly re-
vealed in the message
= Su Che Hum, alias Fa Cha Whan, is
the name of this latest member of the
gang to be captured. Whether he had
been pursued or not before arrest the
message omits TO state, but it says he
surrendered himself TO Deputy Sheriff
Crowell He confessed to that officer
that he hA been engaged in counter
feiting on the Island of Hawaii, where,
on completing 4 quantity of the bogus
coinage, he threw the dies into the
water and carried the coins to Kauai
for distribution.
This information is probably the Oc-
easion OF trip TO be made to Hs-
waii by Marshal Hendry, who leaves
for that island in the steamer Kinsu
today, although he said yesterday he
was going to serve papers at Kanu-
ella in connection with the mail rob
berry He viii probably do that too,
but 1t is a fair guess that, before he
returns to town, some dredging opera
tiOns in bitches and ponds at Kohala
will have been instituted
II will be remembered how. several
years ago. the canals in Kapiolani park
were dredged in search of the minting
devices OF the Camp Mckinley eoun-
terfeiters which the ringlesder under
arrest said he threw into the water.
Deputy Marshal Harry Bruins will
leave for Kauai in the steamer W. G.
Hall this evening to relieve Deputy
Sheriff CrOwell OF his prisoner, who will
be brought to Honolulu for examina-
ton with a view to his commitment for
trial.
Commissioner Hatch e8mmitted Ong
Too Wan and Kim Hey Won to the
Federal grand jury for passing counter
felt coin. Their bail was fixed at
$500 each, which they had not fur
uished up to the Office closing hour
yesterday.

WANT A NEW ARMORY.
The Eighth Hopes to Have q Building In
The bronx.

There will be a hearing this afternoon at
2 O'Clock before the Armory Board in the
City Hall on a joint application Of the
Eighth Regiment OF Coast Artillery and
Squadron A for new quarters. The Eighth.
which was recently restored from a bat
talon to a regiment, transferred from the
infantry branch to the coast artillery ser
vice and assigned to the Manhattan district
from Ninety-second street north to the
city line, hopes TO get an armory in The
Bronx convenient to Forts Totten Schuyler
and Slocum. The squadron wants to have
its present quarters, which adjoin the
Eighth Regiment Armory, at Ninety-fourth
street and Park avenue, enlarged by the
addition of the Eighth's armory. which
would give the squadron the entire block
between Ninety y-fourth and Ninety-fifth
streets and Park and Madison avenues.
To carry out the wishes OF both the regi-
ment and the squadron would mean the
erection OF new armory for the Eighth
Regiment and the remodelling Of the two
buildings into one for Squadron A. Mem
bers of the squadron say that the cost OF
the latter work would be very small
Squadron A. whose quarters are so
Cramped at present that satisfactory drills
cannot be held. has long been working for
from its members to aldit. The committee
includes Howard Taylor. John J. Kelly,
Richard W. D. Yelling. Ezra P. Prentice
William H. J.. Edwards. Gurdon NJ. May

Mr.. Rocker said yesterday that the
need of the squadron is 30 pressing that
Major-Gen. Charles F. Roe and other
National Guard officers have given the
application for enlarged quarters their
approval. The squadron's present build
ing was erected in 1898 when It was Troop
A, and sufficient space was provided for
only 100 men, the full quota of the troop,
and five officers. Now the squadron COM
prises four troops. and in one of the troops
there are sixty men. IL ia impossible TO

STATE COMMITTEE CALLED.
COrteIy on and Root wouldn't 60 40 Chicago
as instructed Delegates.

Timothy l.. Woodruff. chairman Of the
Republican State committed, issued a call
yesterday for a meeting of that committee
to be held at State headquarters. II East
Thirtieth street, on Saturday. March Z.
The COMMITTEES will issue the call for the
State convention 10 elect the four delegates
at large 20 the national convention.
Chairman Woodruff said that II he had
his way the convention would be asked also
To name a new State committee at the
meeting on March = As there isn't any
likelihood of opposition TO this plan from
any of the anti Woodruff faction it is pretty
certain that the call will contain provision
for the election of a new committee.
In 1904 Odell had a new committee named
and himself selected as chairman, succeed
ing Col Dunn Mr. Woodruffs positi on n
that il there is to be a fight for control Of
the party machinery in this State it might
better be fought in the spring than in Sep
tember. when the Presidential campaign
will be in full swring.
Il do not propose going through the
summer doing the drudgery Of organizing
for the campaign" ne said. and then have
to fight for control at the fall primaries
and see a new man step in. perhaps. and
change the whole programme
Mr.. Woodruff repeated his former state
ment that II Gov. Hughes and his friends
wanted the four delegates at large in
structed for Hughes it was extremely
likely that their wishes would be followed
1T is all UP TO the Governor and his
friends" was the way he put il.
The interesting information was forth
coming from one Of the Republican leaders
at State headquarters yesterday that Secre-
taries Root and Cortelyou had been sounded
az To whether they would consent TO go
as delegates under instructions and that
both had replied in the negative. Who
did not come out. The same person said
that others had frowned on the same propo-
sition and that some Of the original Hughes
men were now opposed to instructions for
the Governor.

and CaDtaIn.

President Bensel Of the Board Of Water
Supply announced yesterday that the
board would appoint to-day a superintend-
ent and captain for the police force that the
board will maintain in the watershed. These

the State Civil Service Board. The super
intendent will get $500 a year and the
captain 5000.
Commissioner Bensel said that while the

ments were made. The superintendent. he

DAYS only. A general examination for can
didates for the police force has been set

Ii IS planned TO erect a barracks for the
force and to model the force closely along
the lines of the city police force even 10 the
color of the uniforms, providing Commits
sioner BinRhaTl doesn't object. There is
also some idea Of having "a Commissary de-
partment. II this plan Is carried out the

CELIA APPARENTLY 4 SUICIDE.
Testimony at Inquiry Indicates That He
Took His Own Life.

While Coroner Hamburger still holds to
the murder theory. the testimony Of all the
witnesses who were subpnnaed yesterday
by Assistant District Attorney Ward in
the investigation into the death Of Gero-
lamo Celia, the importer. who was found
dead in his office at 52S and $50 West Broad
way on Sunday. tended to show that the
Italian merchant had committed suicide.
Lieut.. Joe Petrosino and several other
Italian detectives who worked on the case
testified that their investigations led them
to believe beyond a doubt that Celia took
his own life. They learned that previous
to the day he was found dead. with poison
in his stomach and his head crushed, he
had spoken of ending his life. and further
more, the alibis OF Domenico Celia. his
brother. and Caesar Bianchi, his stepeon.
were shown TO be true.
Mrs. Bianchi testified that the stories
circulated about her relations with her hus-
bands stepfather were started by Celia
wife, who was foolishly jealous OF her.
The stories made Celia very downhearted.
Mrs. Celia said that two letters which
were found in Cella's ofice and in which he
spoke OF taking his life were in her hus-
bands handwriting.
