HONOLULAhS GET
POCKETS PICKED

Chronicle, April A band Of pick
pockets reaped a harvest last night,
when the Mongolia landed its passen-
gers at the Pacific Mail dock. Two pas
sengers, Rev. H. Isenberg of Honolulu,
and H. s. Wood Of Alhambra, Cal,
were the victims, and between them
they lost nearly $50. The losses were
quickly reported TO the police, and in a
short time John T. Lumbert was ar
rested and taken TO the Central Police
Station, where his name was placed
on the detinue book as a suspect. A
large amount of money and half doz-
en- diamonds were found on his person,
lending strength to the theory that he
was at least one of the light-fngered
who had taken from the strangers their
valuab les.
Mrs. z. S. Shepherd of Honolulu, one
or the arrivals, who is now at the ST.
Francis, went to the Central Police
Station and identified Lumbert as one
of the men she had seen at the dock.
She recognized him by the peculiar
light hat which he wore. She could
not say for certain, however, that she
had seen him in any act which seemed
suspicious.
