HAT UNLUCkY
FOR SULLIVAN
Possession of Chiefs Headgear
Surely Looks Bad for
Pr0Wler.

temerity to rush in where even angels
would hesitate some to tread. and as
a result ne spent the night at the po-
lice station, with fair prospect of
making a somewhat protracted visit.
The fact that 7. Sullivan when ar
rested was wearing a hat that once
belonged TO Chief of Detectives Joe
I4eal, and the additional fact that the
acquisition of the hat was somewhat
irregular, is not calculated to help Mr..
Sullivan But it was not directly for
the possession OF the Chiefs best night
hat that 2. Sullivan was invited to
call and stay while.
Mr. Sullivan, according to the inter
probation placed upon his actions by
the Chief, is a "prowler. - In other
words, he is in the habit of being in
places where he has no business and
under circumstances that cause the
finger of suspicion to be pointed in his
direction. The arrest was made upon
complaint of H. B. Mariner, who
claims that Sullivan had been hanging
around his house, apparently for no
good purpose. Similar complaints had
been made previously by other resi-
dents of the principal residence Sec
ton. and the incident OF the hat cinch-
ed matters so far as Mr.. Sullivan was
concerned.
Joe Leal SAYS that a few days ago
Sullivan called at his house, probably
not knowing the identity of the owner,
and appeared at the front door. When
Mrs. Leal saw him, he asked for
drink of water, but when she turned
to get it, he stepped inside. She gave
him the water and asked him to step
outside to drink it. As soon as he
did so, she, fastened the door, being
afraid of him. But the man stepped
up and demanded hat, and though
she replied that there were no old hats
about, he insisted upon having hat.
He wasn't particular about its being
old anyway. So to get rid of him, she
gave him the Chiefs best night hat
greatly to the disgust of Joe when he
learned of the occurrence. Mr.. Sulli-
van is now wishing that he had APP
piled elsewhere for a hat.
Youthful Gang Caught.
For the alleged theft of two old
sacks, worth perhaps five cents, Manuel
Ferreira, weary looking youth of
seventeen years, was landed behind
the bars yestaeday afternoon by the
police and will have to appear in court |
aud explain how it happened that he |

lid not belong to him.
Trivial as young Ferreira s offense
appears to be, Chief Joe Leal believes |
hat the capture and arrest of the boy
8 of some Importance. Ferreira, he
,ays, is one member of a gang of young
hieves who have been despoiling the |
residents of the Kapioiani tract and |
Systematically robbing the Kalihi
laughter house. Anything that WASH t
led down appeared TO look good to
hem, and Leal claims that they have

.hiekens, robbing hens nests, and
wen stealing the barley food of the
daughter house horses and selling it !
or whatever they could get.
Three other boys, John Teachira, An
one Costa and Willie Campbell, were
brought in to the police station along
With Manuel Ferreira, but on account

The four will probably be afforded an
opportunity to explain to Judge Whit
icy of the Juvenile Court what they
know about the gentle art of robbing
