Most startling OF all, the prints on
the cab door and those on the I'M
washed glass were identical.
"Cabby," said the detective, you
know where you took your customer
last night?"
The cabman harnessed up his We
hicle and drove off with the detective
as his passenger. In about ten min
utes he halted before mean-looking
frame house in the suburbs. Sweeney
alighted and raped at the door Wig
orously. After long wait, a smooth
shaven man in his shirt sleeves re-
sponded. The detective was keyed
up to his responsibility He did not
give the man time to speak, but said
sharply:
Good morning. Mr. Martin
The man drew back.
How did you know" he began,

"Oh. yes, it is" was the cheerful re-
sponse, you're John Martin"

the detective.
That night John Martin was behind
prison bars and Lady Hart's precious
gems had been restored to her
John Martin proved to be a profes-
sional thief. On numerous occasions
he had acted as an extra servant at
house parties. Forged references and
a month of faithful service enabled
him to get n position with Sir Archi-
bald Hunter, who was the respected
younger son OF an aristocratic bat
not particularly wealthy family. In
due course of time he formed one of
the inhabitants of Sir William Harts
house in the name and ca, acity OF
John Martin. valet and attendant -

Martin made a great show of in
structing the servants, but his sole
object was to become Intimately ac.

quainted with the geography of the
house Under the guise of carefully
examining possible exits in case of
fire, of arranging where hydrants
should be stationed, inspecting the win
dows, doors ana stalrcases, and the
general structure of the house, Martin
was not only able to get an accurate
idea of where the various rooms were
situated but he became acquainted
also with many points of detail impor
tant TO his contemplated enterprise
He left Sir Williams house with his
master on the night before the con-
clusion of the house party so that his
alibi in that connection was secure
enough, but he made it a point to re-
turn on the following night Being
well known to all of the servants he
met with no obstacle and actually
found his way to the corridor of the
second story leading to Lady Hart's
room. He had not thought of robbery
at that particular moment, but the
sight of Lady Hart leaving her room
and the jewels lying exposed on the
vi toSib ploNSu lOo Sllou6 a
temptation for his avaricious nature.
He quickly slipped in, put the jewels
in his pockets. and then calmly min
gled with the other servants. Later
on he was the man who went out to
the gate-keeper and instructed him
not to permit anyone to leave the
house that night, and after sending
the man on FOOLS errand, he coolly
marched cut Of the grounds. He took
the first train to the London suburb
and hoped by the next day to be able
to dispose of his loot His one mis-
take was in pausing in the servants
hall long enough to drink the ale out
of dirty glass. The impress of his
fingers on the glass and on the cab
door at the suburban station proved

for conter plation in the long term Of
penal servitude 10 which he WAS
sentenced.

with him an ordinary drinking glass
"a dirty glass that looked as if it
might have contained stale ale the
night before. He had picked it up in
one of the rooms of the house and
the care he bestowed upon it almost
bordered on the ludicrous. He seemed
particularly anxious not to permit the
glass to rub against anything.
An hour later chance visitor at
Scotland Yard might have witnessed
a curious experiment being made with
an ordinary drinking glass. The eX-
pertinent was a success. The opera
tive discovered on the glass the i'm
prints of four fingers and a thumb.
The marks were perfectly distinct and
the finger and thumb prints had been
reproduced perfectly on sensitized
paper.
A visit to the office of the railroad
company resulted in finding the con-
ductor who had charge of that par
ticular train. He remembered that
one passenger had boarded the train
at the station.
Did he go on to London?" he was
asked.
NO" was the response. "he alight-
ed at the first station this side of
London"
The trail was becoming interesting
1t was followed until it led to the
station this side Of London. The only
cabman at that station was awakened
from his slumbers to answer the ques-
tions of the detective. He was
typical might hawk" Yes, he had
answered. he had one customer that
night Could he let the representa-
tive from Scotland Yard look at his
cab? Most assuredly he felt compli-
mented at such attention. The ram.
shackle old vehicle was found in the
stable. A careful examination WAS
made The result was remarkable.
There were five distinct spots on
the dirty cab door aud they were
the imprints of four fugers and a
thick thumb.

DR.. BRUCE v. MACKALL TELLS
WASHINGTON ABOUT HAWAII

WASHINGTON, D. c., POST Be-
cause japanese are monopolizing all
the professions and industries of Ha-
wall, there is no immigration of any
but japanese to that island,' said DR..
Bruce McV. Mackall, physician and
surgeon of Honolulu, who is at the Ra-
leigh DIR. Mackall is native of Wash.
ington and graduated from one of the
medical colleges here. Before going to
Hawaii he was in the marine hospital
service. He has been practicing surgery
in Honolulu for five years.
"The Japanese are making inroads
into all lines of industry" continued
DR.. Mackall, "and they are doing it
because they work cheaper than the
white people or the native Hawaiians.
For instance, where in the past sugar
boilers were paid from 5000 to $3.50 a
month, the japanese work for $40 to
$50 month. 1t is the same with other
trades. In the professions they are
making themselves felt by cutting
rates. The yellow men can afford to
work cheaper than the whites because
they can live cheaper. They do not
require the same comforts and food that
the white people do. There are upward
of 10000 Japanese on the islands, about
10000 native Hawaiians, and 1000
Americans. The latter are decreasing
in number, BECAUSE, as have said, the
competition OF the japanese is too
great.

GOVERNMENT
AFTER OESERTERS

United States Marshal Hendry yes
terday received the following circular
letter from Attorney General Bona
parte:
To United States Marshals:
In order to diminish as much as pos
sible the great number of desertions
occurring in the Army, the War De-
partment has found it necessary to
adopt more vigorous measures than it
has employed hitherto with view to
apprehending and bringing to trial
those who desert the military service.
The Act of Congress approved June
Is, 1898, provides "that it shall be
lawful for any civil officer having au-
thority under the laws Of the United
States or of any State or Territory or
District to arrest offenders, to summa-
rily arrest deserter from the military
service of the United States and de.
liver him into the custody of the mill
tary authorities of the general govern
ment. ~
| Under a provision borne in the Army
appropriation act each year, the sum
of fifty dollars is paid by the War De
partment to any civil officer or citizen
for his services and expenses in appre
hending any deserter.
There will be transmitted to yor
from time to time .by the War De
partment, circulars relative to thi
matter, including half tone cuts Of tn,
men and such other information as il
likely to prove useful in their iden
tifcation. You are instructed to dis
tribute these circulars among you
deputies.
Any information that may be obtain
ed relative to the whereabouts of de
serters, whom for any reason it is i'm
possible to arrest, should be communi
Gated direct to the Adjutant Genera
of the Army.
Respectfully,

Attorney General.

RICE is
MOST NUTRITIOUS
Honolulu, Hawaii, Aug, 81, 1908.

Honolulu, Hawaii, Aug, 81, 1908.
Editor Advertiser: The rice indus
try in these islands is generally recog-
nized as an important one both from
the standpoint of food value and as
being a large item among the list of
imported materials. A great number
of varieties Of rice have been grown
by the Hawaii Experiment Station for
the purpose of determining their adap-
liability to Hawaiian soils, their yields
and their relative food value Soon
after this work began it became evil
dent that there was belief fostered
among some of our population that the
rice grown in Japan was more nutri-
tious than any of the varieties of rice
grown in these islands. Partly for the
purpose of gaining evidence on this
point and partly for the purpose of
determining the general value of Japa-
nese rice as compared with other va
rieties of rices, chemical analyses were
made at the Hawaii Experiment Sta
ton of rice grown in Japan and of rice
grown here from Japanese seed. In
addition to these varieties, other varie-
ties were tested by way of comparison.
The chemical analyses made at this sta
ton indicated that there was no es-
sential difference in the nutritive value
of rice grown from Japanese seed in
Japan and in these islands. Samples
of rice imported from japan, Japan
rice grown at the Hawaii Experiment
Station, and Hawaiian rice were sub
mitted to the Bureau of Chemistry Of
the Department of Agriculture for
analysis. The report recently received
from the Bureau of Chemistry shows
tbat IN tha aaaautial nnfritiya ann.
pounds the rice grown from the Japan
seed in the Hawaiian Islands is SUI
J perior to that grown in Japan. The
amount of moisture in the Hawaiian
: grown rice is little less, and the fat
, and heterogeneous substances somewhat
greater.
1t is evident, therefore, that there
is no basis for the statement that rice
grown in Japan is more nutritious than
that grown in these islands; in fact the
contrary appears to be the case. The
only practical Importance which at
taches to this fact is to be sought in
the large importation of rice from
Japan by almost every steamer from
the Orient. Japanese rice is not only
imported in large quantities, but is
eagerly sought for at price much
higher than that paid for Hawaiian
grown rice. 1t seems to be matter
of some Importance, therefore, that the
fact Of the higher nutritive value of
Hawaiian grown rice should be pub
lished as widely as possibly in order
to correct the mistaken notion which
has hitherto prevailed, and incidentally,
check to some extent, the unnecessary
importation of large quantities of rice
from japan.

Special Agent in Charge.

I ana winning the business Of Hawaii
their attitude toward Americans and
natives is entirely friendly. There is
no war talk there, and there is no appre-
hension that the United States will have
any trouble with Japan. Notifications
the United States is building are maxi
ing good progress and will be completed
sooner than estimated, / believe. When
they are finished / think Hawaii will
be adequately protected against any
foreign foe. Besides, there is no dan
ger of Japan ever attacking Hawaii, for
the very good reason that the vessels
of the United States could get to the
islands far in advance of the japanese
boats, assuming, of course, that we are
to have feet in the Pacific. Under
forced draft aid with fast crew the
warships of this country could reach
Hawaii in four days, while the Japanese
could not get there in less than nine.
'sThe attitude of the natives toward
the United States also is exceedingly
friendly. They are glad to be annexed
TO this country, but in Hawaii Lii
liuokalani still is their Queen, and ex-
erts a remarkable influence.
con my way from Honolulu saw
the feet of American vessels sailing
from San Francisco. The sixteen ships
made a grand sight. We passed the
