POLICE WANT
JOHN BAKER

The mysterious Mr.. John K. Baker
still remains a mystery. Also, he re-
mains out of sight-possibly because
he has learned that the police are look
ing for him and that Sheriff Jarrett
who says he was not at that $57 din
, ner-is very anxious to make his ac-
quaintance.
1t was, reported yesterday afternoon
that Baker, who also goes by the name
of j. I. Bright, and whose true name
is said to be John X. Kaualii, was in
tending to leave for Hilo on the Clau-
dine. Sheriff Jarrett, though he held
| no warrant for the arrest of the mys-
terious gentleman, thought it might
| be a good thing to detain him in our
| fair city, SO he issued instructions to
| Chief Leal that if the man of the
aliases made any attempt to leave town,
he be given cordial and pressing in
vitation to become the guest of the
Sheriff, pending an investigation into
his history, accomplishments and per
| formances.
But Baker, the mysterious, gave up
any intention he may have had OF
taking the Claudine and remained in
secluslon.
He was not so retiring Thursday
evening, however, for at that time he
visited and inspected house on School
| street and made arrangements TO buy
it, furniture and all, explaining that he
| expected to move in with a new wife
| that he would soon acquire and would
become permanent resident of the
| city that had received him SO cordial
ly. He promised to show up bright
and early yesterday morning with an
attorney and conclude the purchase OF
the premises. But, so far as is known
he has not been seen since he made
his preliminary negotiations.
Baker, alias Bright, alias Kaualii
it is stated announced the nov
famous $57 dinner party that he ha,
just become engaged to young lady
by the name of Lane and expected tt
marry her soon.
Coroner Investigating.
Coroner Rose is making an investi
CATION into the matter of the death o;
Korean named Ham Hing Sun, wht
died at the Queen IS Hospital yesterday
morning after having been found un
conscious in his bed early in the morn
ing. There is no reason for suspectinl
foul play, but as the circumstances O.
the mans death were rather unusual
the coroner thought it as well to lool
into the matter. However, it appear
probable that over-indulgence in liquo
was responsible for the sudden dealt
of the Korean.
1t has been learned that he tool
home quantity of gin and whisk,
the night before and INDUCED heavily
When found in the morning, he was ap
parently near his end, and died 500
