with reference to the selection of the
new police force. When asked who will
be chief clerk, he smiles, hesitates, and
smilingly' replies: "Well, l have sus-
picion that / know who he will be, but
I'm not sure yet" And its the same
with other appointments. He just
smiles, looks wise, and says nothing.
And with a smile he says: - see
we re to use blacksnakes, is that it?'
And with this enigmatical comment one
is not sure whether blacksnakes will
form part of the Honolulu police of
fcer's equipment or not.

Milk Boys Steal.
A Spanish boy and a Hawaiian boy,
named Louis Rodriques and George
Kaae, respectively, were arrested yes
terday, and the former has confessed
that he committed larceny. Both boys
ride on wagons of one of the large
dairies and help the driver distribute
milk to patrons While at the Cox home
at Waikiki on Monday afternoon the
Spanish boy delivered milk to a patron,
going into the Kitchen to leave the bot
tie. A purse was lying on the cup
board, Rodriques took the purse, open
ed it, took $1.75, the entire contents,
and, throwing the purse on the steps,
returned to the wagon. A little later
the lady of the house looked for the
purse in order to pay 1aundryman.
Search revealed the empty purse. They

wagon and the boy. The police were
notified and the milk-wagon was fol-
lowed up. The boy was found with the
wagon, and when searched the money
was found in his pocket.
His companion, George Kaae, was ar
rested after long night s vigil by one
of the detectives. He had hidden under
house. ROdriques duplicates the Ha-
waiian boy in several offenses, partic
ularly the robbing of chicken roosts. He
also hasa penchant for small ducklings,
which he found easy to carry away.
Mcshayne in Trouble.
McShayne is the name of the mes
senger boy whose note to Madame Lam
bert, accompanied by bunch of roses,
led him into the hands of the police.
He was the boy whom Madame Lam
bert suspected, or rather knew, was the |
one who sent the anonymous note to |
her, and she notified the detectives, who |
Swallowed McShayne for awhile and
finally placed him under arrest. The !
note contained certain references to a |
meal which McShayne, as messenger
boy, had carried from a restaurant to
Madame Lambert, and that made his |
identity known.
McShayne has confessed to the po-
lice that he was attracted to Madame
Lambert after first acting as a mes
senger for her, and passed by her place
of business frequently and called there
to see if she wanted him to run errands, |
etc. Something that he said of his
hopes in this direction have woven a
network of cireumstantial evidence
around McShayne which may put him to
the test when he answers to the charge
of being on the premises of another by
night without lawful excuse. The Sher.
iff prefers putting a more serious
charge than this against McShayne, but
the charge may be the one mentioned. |

police court of J. F. Hellerson, ''Mon-
