Yesterday was big day for the
japanese of Oahu. Thousands of them
from the city and the plantations visit
ed the warships Aso and Soya, inspect
ing them above and below decks, and
looking admiringly at the fighting craft
from the wharf.
The morning and afternoon trains
from the plantations brought hundreds
of laborers and their wives and chill
! dren up to look at the ships. They
remained around them until late in the
afternoon before returning to their
homes. School children were present
by hundreds, and the ships were point
ed out to them as examples of Japan IS
wonderful military and naval prowess.
In the afternoon the flagship band
played at Kapiolani Park, alternating
in program with the Hawaiian band.
The foreign band was quite an attrac-
! ton, and it being fine day, thousands
of people thronged Makee Island and
the park, and autos lined the drive
ways. The spectators were deeply in
terested in the Japanese rendition of
OPERAS. The music was very good, al
though at times the execution was
somewhat mechanical and the phrasing
a trif1e off key. But the wonder is that
japanese can play European music at
all. Unlike the Filipinos the Japanese
idea of music for centuries has been
radically different, and the mastery of
European music is only of recent date.
The bandsmen appeared in white uni
forms, although it was expected they
would wear their service uniforms with
red blouses.
Last evening Rear-Admiral Iehiii
gave dinner aboard the flagship in
| honor of Consul General Uyeno and
members of the consulate staff.

THIEF GANG
WAS ORGANIZED
Burglar Naval Gives Up More
Loot-Robbed Mrs.
Douglas.

An organized band of thieves exists
in Honolulu, according to Peter Naval,
the young Hawaiian criminal who has
confessed to long series of burglaries.
Since Naval broke down and told of
the number of places he visited, he
has confessed that he was not alone
in these enterprises. A Chinaman,
who, he says, acted as pilot in GER
tain midnight raids, is in Jail awaiting
trial for attempting to pick the pocket
of Supervisor AHA, and he alleges there
are some Hawaiians, Chinese and
whites who are engaged in the same
business. That fences through whom
loot could be sold, exist in Honolulu,
has been revealed by the confession of
Naval and much of the stolen property
has been recovered from them. Chief
Leal expects to land several persons in
Jail before the investigation of Naval
is completed.
Yesterday morning Naval confessed
that he burglarized the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas on Kapiolani
street, next to Chas. Hustace s home,
a few months ago. A watch which was
found in his possession, handsome
timepiece with a diamond set in the
rear case, was identified by Mrs. Doug
las as her property.
. Naval also directed Chief Leal to a
small piece of cane land off of upper
Emma street where he had buried some
of his loot. Among this stuff was found
diamond ring and pair of opera
glasses belonging to Mrs. Douglas.
This plumber included a mass OF
cheap jewelry. but among it were some
valuable pieces, including Mr.. Burning
ham s cuff links and cravat holder, and
more trinkets belonging to Mrs. Bur.
ningham All of the Birmingham prop
erty has been recovered or accounted
for. Some of the Douglas property is
yet missing but this is believed to be
in the possession of a Hawaiian CIR
to whom Naval has been attentive.
In the stolen treasure was found 9
handsome gold medal given by the
"Columbia College Athletic Associa
tom to the winner of an athletic con
| test I'M 1892. The medal is a heavy
one There were some old fashioned
| lockets and chains, and in a couple OF
the former were pictures OF an ole
| lady and strand of child's hair. There
| were cheap bracelets, earrings, rings
stick pins, an old card case bearing the
| name sfJohn C. Evans kukui nuts, 9
bunch of trunk keys and another OF
door keys, including one very valuable
skeleton key.
Naval appears to be quite willing tt
| tell all he knows about robberies, and
it is likely that more loot will be
brought to light in a few days.
A Jap Larcenist.
Officer Yong arrested a Honolulu
japanese aboard one of the visiting
warships yesterday afternoon on com
plant of local Japanese who alleges
that the man was wearing pair OF
his shoes. He stated that a short time
ago some one entered his room and
stole a coat, pair of trousers and pai1
of shoes. When he saw the shoes on the
japanese aboard the warship, he mott
fed the police. Officer Yong separated
the accused from the hundreds of visit
ors on the warships and getting him

China as power capable of defending

sfThere is the basis of it. The fall of
Yuan Shi Kai means that he was too
progressive for the dynasty. Yuan was
developing the Chinese imperial army
to an effectiveness, and using it as an
instrument for developing something
like a patriotism, which might have
menaced Manehu control. Likewise it
was not friendly to japanese influence.
The fact is that the Japanese govern

of Manchu which guarantees to that
ruling element in China the support of
Japan, while in turn, the Manchus as

Yesterday, members of the Legisla-
lure, members of the Board of Health,
physicians and others, to the number
of one hundred, visited t'the shelf on
the cliff, - the Leper Settlement of Mo
lokai, inspected the various institu-
tions, listened to the few complaints
and the many requests of the lepers,
made speeches, gave words of comfort,
cheer and encouragement and fulfilled
the duty which biennially falls to the
lot of those in any way responsible
for the wellbeing of the segregated
lepers.
It was noticeable to those who made
this same trip two years ago that a
better feeling exists among the people
of Kalaupapa and Kalawao now than
existed then. Two years ago Wallach
was live issue, and his false prom
Uses had excited many in the Settle
ment to state bordering on frenzy;
now, the people there are saner, reeog-
nizing that Uncle Sam is not building
the great leprosarium without expect
ing to bring about some permanent
good. recognizing that in every way
the local and Federal authorities are
doing what is humanity possible to
find the cure for the disease that holds
them from the reach of the rest of the
world
There was nothing to urge upon the
legislators this year on the part of the
lepers but the simple needs of every
day-a pound or two more paiai week
iy. more liberal meat allowance with
orders to the cutters to dispense less
bone, few cents more a month credit
at the store. A cure, of course. That
was the one great thing hoped for and
prayed for, but there came no great

two years ago-no cry to allow any
fake- to do what he promised. Wal

as a protest against the action OBJ
tanned 189 signers within short time
yesterday. Indignation against the
giving away of the heart of the harbor
grows the more 1t is talked over, and
the meeting scheduled at San Pedro to-
morrow night assumes larger propor-
tions daily.
Move Toward Consolidation
"The whole matter is the strongest
kind Of an argument for consolidation,
said Capt. A. A. Fries yesterday. I'm
der the charter of Los Angeles the har-
Dor would be protected against these
attempts to keep 1t from the public,
while at the same time the corporations
desiring wharfage or other facilities
could get them on lease, not for moth
ing, but at reasonable rental But
with the harbor under the jurisdiction
of a board of trustees of San Pedro any
portion of the harbor which may be
given away is likely to be called for
under a franchise alternating it for more
than two generations and handed out
within ten days time. This, which
might happen any time, would be I'M
possible under the charter Of Los An
geles. 1t simply means that consolida-
tion will not only develop the harbor,
but that it can protect it also"
Map Astounds Committee
The fact that the Southern Pacific
franchise extends from the pierhead
lines and sixty feet inward from the
wharfage, thereby taking out of public
consideration for fifty years, If grant

being more fully appreciated, although

|FOIL EFFORT TO
OPEN 'REDLIGHT'
POLICE BLOCK PLANS OF TEN
DERLOlN RESIDENTS
EIGHT HOUSES ENTERED AND
OCCUPANTS ARRESTED
Rude Shock Given to Underworld
Leaders Planning Carnival of De-
bauehery During Week of
Elks' Visit

Plans of residents of the underworld
to reopen the old redlight district were
shattered yesterday afternoon when
Captain of Police Dixon and Patrolmen
Browning and Bowe raided eight houses
in the old Tenderloin and arrested nine
women. The prisoners were loaded into
patrol wagon and taken to the central
police station and booked on charges of
vagrancy.
For the past week the police have
been quietly investigating conditions in
the old redlight district. The activity
in that district and the unusual moving
about in the houses attracted the atten-
ton of the officers, and they reported
the matter to headquarters.
Several plain clothes patrolmen We're
detailed to make an inspection OF the
places that for more than year have
been unoccupied and found the houses
were inhabited and new furnishings
were being arranged.
The women of the underworld, 1t is
thought, were under the impression
that the town would be allowed to run
wide open" during the stay of the
Elks here and were preparing to reap
a rich harvest.
Yesterday a list of the various houses
III lIl6 Olu diotAANS 'N.'
turned into police headquarters and
Capt. Dixon at once made preparations
for the raid.
Detail Plain Clothes Men
More than a score of patrolmen in
citizens clothes were sent ahead of the
raiding party. Two men were stationed
at each house to prevent the escape of
the inmates, while Capt. Dixon and
Patrolmen Browning and Bowe con-
ducted the raid.
Houses at the following addresses
were entered and the occupants ar
rested: 467 Commercial street, 519 Du-
commun street, AL Jackson street, 726,
857 and S59 North Alameda street, 14s
North Central avenue and 467 Labory
lane. With the exception of the house
at S59 North Alameda street, where two
inmates were arrested, there was but
one occupant to each house. q
The women gave their names as
Lizette Morell. Emma Joyce, Georgia
Mathews, Blanche Durant, Marcelle
Moesec, Olga Silva, Madaline Delcourt,
Julia Leroux and Olga Ranen.
The police are keeping a strict watch
in the redlight district and any effort
to repoen the old houses will be rudely
discouraged.
The lid will be kept ,on tight, even
during the stay of the Elks, and stiff
sentences will be asked by the police
for persons convicted of violations of
this character.
