Although ne went into the War De.

intended to be as much in tine nature
of further education for the Secretary

of the detenses themselves.

COUNTERFEIT
COINS FOUND
Bad limitations of American
Money Seized by
Officer.

Counterfeit silver money has made its
appearance in this city in no incon-
siderable quantities. Yesterday police
official discovered some counterfeit
coins in Kakaako, and from what can
be learned, several merchants have
suffered of late from the passers of
spurious coin.
Whether some "shover of the queer
has chosen this city as place for
operations, or whether some innocent
party brought the bad coins in unin-
tentionally, the authorities have not
been able to decide That the money
is not being made in the Territory
seems tolerably certain.
The coins SO far discovered are very
poor specimens of the counterfeiter 3
art, and would not stand much chance
of passing the average American
cashier For this reason it is believed
that they may have been sent here with
the idea that Chinese and Hawaiian
merchants would not prove so critical
The money seized yesterday is very
largely of lead or some other base
siderably heavier than it should have
been, and the shape was noticeably bad.
The coin was evidently cast in crude
plaster of paris mold made from a
rather worn dollar.

SAM Johnson
NAME SUGGESTED
Local Man Spoken of as Well
Fitted to Make Trip to
Russia.

Sam Johnson is being spoken of as
a possibility for the Russian mission ];
not as Ambassador of the United Stetes
to- Saint Petersburg, but, E. E. anQ -
P. of the Territorial Board of Immigra-
ton to Hardin and elsewhere
That johnson would be an excellent
man to represent the board, is generally
conceded. He is a native of Russia,
knows the ways of the people, and at
the same time is thoroughly conversant
with the qualifications which laborers
require to make them desirable imml-
grants to this Territory.
That there may be no repetition of
the Molokan fasco, the Board of Immi-
grafton has decided to send a represen-
tative to Russia to look over all of the
would-be immigrants before they en-
bark. This agent will probably look
into the anteeedents of the people and
try to CLEAN some facts regarding their
character and so forth. Thus it is be-
lieved that the danger of getting un-
satisfactory colonists can be, to great
extent, obviated.
The board offered its secretary, A.
L. c. Atkinson, the post some time ago.
Atkinson has as yet given no reply,
as far as is known.
Should Atkinson definitely decide not
to accept the offer, johnson will prob
ably be offered the post. Though he
has not been approached. in regard to
the matter, it is believed that he would
accept, and all seem agreed that ne
| would fill the post to the general salts
faction of every one.

PROFESSIONAL
GAMBLERS
BUSY
Guarded Doors Open
Into Den Of Dice
Jugglers.

Four of the professional gamesters
of Honolulu who have frequently faced
the police magistrate on charges of
gambling, have been operating crap
joint in the basement of the now famous
Akwai building on Beretania avenue.
Yesterday when the place was entered
by newspaper reporter to ascertain
first hand whether the gamblers were
III action, he found the joint going at
full blast. Willie Vida sat on one side
OF the table with the kitty can
at hls left. George Kaea, who was
caught running a crap game on the
Channel wharf last Sunday afternoon,
was on the opposite side in the place
occupied always by the dealer. Apo
Iona and George Kekipi, well known
to the police from a gambling stand
point, occupied places of vantage
around the table, which, while having
the form of the regular bowl ''7-11''
tables of professional joints, was COM
posed of blanket ingeniously contriv-
ed. Chalk was used to mark the num-
beers of the "field.''
For several months it was well known
that the gamblers were operating q
table, Sometimes it was in one place
then in another, and it would be shifted
about frequently. But for a few weeks
back the basement Of the Akwai build
ing the one ON the Eva end of the
building, has been occupied. Hundreds
of dollars have bpeen played over the
blanket at time. Reports are fire.
quent of heavy losses, one of the large
ones being registered during the week,
a young Hawaiian having been feeced
by the experts.
The entrance was ingenious enough
to look like the work of expert Chi
nese gamblers. The rear OF the lanai,
which is several feet above the ground,
was used for getting in. This was
located under a stairway leading to the
second story. Peep holes were bored in
the door which was provided with a
spring lock. Just inside was the watch
man IS cubby- hole, where he guarded the
inner entrance and stood ready to give
the alarm. Three boards removed from
the rear of the building gave into
the rear of a store which opens on
Beretania avenue. This section of the
store was boxed in so that the flooring
could be removed for the installation
of narrow staircase. Ingenious ropes
led to alarm tin cans located in the
cellar.
When the reporter was looking around
for the entrance he stumbled upon it
when the japanese Waterman came out
of his eubby hole to talk to japanese
outside. The reporter Immediately felt
that this was the place he was looking
for, and he showed his foot against the
door and held it. The japanese was
too excited to say anything or give the
alarm, and when he saw the reporter s

ALLOWANCE Of MISS
CAMPBELL INCREASED

The petition of the guardian of
Beatrice Campbell for an increase OF
5000 a month in her allowance from
the Campbell estate was granted by
Judge Robinson yesterday morning.
Witnesses testified that the present al
lowance of $500 month was far from
being enough to pay the expenses Of
the young lady, but they thought that,
with economy, she might be able to
scrimp through on 800. The motion
was vigorously opposed by the trustees
of the estate, trustee Cecil Brown max
ing the statement that the girl is run
ming through the estate and spending
her sisters money as well as her own.
Notwithstanding this, however, Mrs.
Muriel Campbell on the witness stand
supported the petition for an increase
in her sisters allowance.
