800 DEAD FOUND

The Total Number Of Mexican
Victims VIII Never
Be Known.
HELP FOR THE HOMELESS
Many Contributions From the United

and Money Badly Needed
by the Sufferers.

Monterey Mexico, Sept. Alt
rey were engaged in search for bod
| les in the ruins along the bank OF
! the river, but only a few We're re-
covered. The total number of dead
recovered in Monterey is SOC, and
irepolts from down the valley show
that many more have been found.
Thus far the number recovered is
nearly 900, and the probabilities
are that the entire number lost will
never be known as many bodies
must lie buried in the sands and mud
deposited by the falling river in the
eddies caused by the numerous
turns and bends in the stream 5
channel.
The first rain struck Monterey
Thursday afternoon about 4 o clock
and continued without stopping un-
til Sunday noon. During the time
the rain continued twenty-five in
Iches of rainfall We're recorded. The
Santa Catarina river drains a water
tshed comprising 1000 square miles,
and some idea of the amount of wa
Ter can We Obtained when IT is stated
that the Hcsn~l flow of water In the
Santa Catarina river at the height
of the flood Saturday morning was
200, ,000 cubic feet per second, which
is one half the flow of the Nile and
sissippi when those rivers are at
their highest flood stages. The San
ia Catarina river has a fall of l per
cent at Monterey and by actual
measurement by engineers of the
water and drainage company, it was
ascertained that the current attain
ed a velocity of twenty feet per sec
ond, or thirty miles an hour.
| Reports continue meager from

that the village of San Francisco
was entirely destroyed; the town OF
San Juan badly damaged. and the

washed away.
Relief in the shape of money ha:
been pouring in from all sources

way by the railroads of the state for
the handling of this years cotton

that the crop will be short, yet hey

Texas Central railroad and the
Houston. East and West Texas line

improved conditions generally were
discussed, the chief topic was the
handling of the 1909 cotton crop

roads, and, in fact, all of the roads
hauling cotton will be we'll supplied
with cars and while during the rush
season cars will be not be so easy to
secure as during other periods OF the
year. it is claimed that the roads
are in better shape in this respect

Roller Is Convicted.

FL. Denny and a Portuguese named
Manuel Costa met in the rear of a
Chinese saloon in Chinatown on the
night of April and drank considerable
4dago red' together. Costa lay down
in the back room and later Denny lay
down alongside of him. Costa was
talking with another man and he re-
members feeling hand in his hip
pocket. He did not pay much attention
at the time, but later when he went
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-04-08

to Aa1a Park, he found that his money,
amounting to $14.5o was gone. He
searched around for his companions
and locating Denny, who had bottle
of booze, he turned the man over to
Officer Medeiros, and that is the reason
why Denny faced Judge Andrade yes
terday morning to answer to charge
of larceny in the first degree. Some
witnesses state that Denny had no
money before he was with Costa in the
Chinese saloon but later on he had
considerable money, jag and bottle
of booze. Costa said his money con-
sisted of a ten-dollar gold piece and
some silver. The eagle was found on
Denny, together with three in silver.
Badges for Chauffeurs.
The hack inspector is considering the
advisability Of recommending that driv-
ers of autos for public hire be required
to wear a small badge designating them
as public ehauffeurs, somewhat in line
with the requirement for drivers of
horse hacks. Mainland city govern
ments have this regulation. The badges
are small and ineonspicuous, and may
be worn under the lapel.
Apana Makes Raid.
Apana, the Chinese detective, raided
a paikau gambling joint at Waikiki on
Tuesday afternoon and bagged half a
dozen Chinese. When Apana got into
the room, after the Waterman had
shouted warning. he found the gam
blers making a desperate effort to get
out. One Chinese was busy scraping
up money, dominoes, dice and buttons
from the table. The men were con-
victed in police court and fined SO and

Around the
dice Station

Chief of Detectives Leal has added
TO his laurels for one week of active
detective service since his appointment,
by capturing Emory Harris, the negro
jail-breaker. Leal went to Maui on
Tuesday, and yesterday morning wire
lessed to Sheriff Jarrett that he had
Harris in custody, and would return
with him on the Claudine this morning.
Leal made a quick move in leaving
town Tuesday having received tip
that Harris had gone to Maui on the
bark Foohng Suey. He lost little time
after arriving there Tuesday night and
landed his man shortly after daybreak.
Harris slipped out of the station
house a couple of weeks ago, and al
though rumors were that he was on this
island and presumably in the vicinity
of Leilehua, yet Leal got the straight
tip to look for him on Maui. Harris
is desperate negro, who has broken
out of the station house three times.
He was 'tbad niger while serving
in the navy as member of the e. S.
S. Iroquois crew and the navy was glad
to get rid of him. When he broke out
of the station house he was awaiting
trial on charge attempting to muir
der another negro.
Sheriff Explains.
With reference to the notification
sent by the Sheriff to Captain Fay, Uni
ted States Marine Corps, that the lat
ter was operating an auto without the
formality of having been given chauf-
feurfs license or certificate, and the
officer stating that he had his certificate
in his possession, Sheriff Jarrett stated
yesterday that the former examiner of
chauffeurs, had neglected to certify on
Captain Fay s application for license,
that such license and certificate had
been granted and issued.
The custom is for an intending chauf-
feur to make out an application on
blanks provided at the police station.
The examiner of chauffeurs takes the
applicant in hand, and gives him a
try-out to see whether he is qualified
to operate a machine. If he qualities
| the examiner fills out card and hands
, it to the applicant. He is then sup
posed to endorse on the application the
! fact that certificate, and the number
thereof, has been issued. The chief
clerk of the police department makes
up his card index from this certifca-
ton. As there was no certifcation on
Captain Fay's application, the letter,
with a dozen more to other people OPP
Grating machines, was written and for

NEW ENTERPRISE
MEETS With SUCCESS

With i lperfectly equipped plant Of
over $4,000 worth of the most modern
machinery known in laundry craft the
Sanitary laundry is now handling
thousands Of pieces daily.
Mr.. Gillet who has made a careful
study OF all branches OF the work,
stated today that no expense had been
spared to make this the most per-
fectly equipped plant in the west. He
feels confident that his laundry is GO
ing to fill a long felt want here Fam
ily washings will be given special at
tentlon and prompt delivery will DO
ono of the main features
As a. suggestion to those who have
never seen q great laundry in full
swing it is we'll worth a visit. One
can not realize when he sees tho
spic-span white shirt lying on the chif-
fonier what various and divers pro-
cesses this same shirt went through
to obtain it's splendor.
A special feature with his laundry
is the purity of the water. Mr.. Ciillet
stated that they were on the water
mains supplying the city's purest water
and that to guarantee purity and free
dom from minerals all the hot water
used was first put through a con-
densing process, which obivates the
necessity of using chemical water
softeners which cat into the fabrics.
