CHRISTMAS DAY
RObBERIES MANY

Several robberies were reported to
the police Saturday as having taken
place Christmas eve, the nocturnal gen
tlemen evidently hoping that the gen
eral excitement would cover up their
enterprise.
The first Of these reported was Of
Mrs. johnson s curio store on Fort
street opposite the Club Stables which
was entered somewhere between eleven
0 clock in the evening and the follow
ing morning, the robbers carrying off
$3.50 dollars worth Of jewelry. The
door was sprung and the jewelry taken
came from one case, the glass being
broken to get at it, The booty IN this
instance consisted Of numerous small
articles of cheaper jewelry such as
shield cuff buttons, hat pins and SO

or robbers made his getaway through
ne back door. The police have several
clues which they are working on.

Knox In the Wrong.
WASHINGTON, December 27.--The
flight of ex-President Zelaya from Nj
earagua in some quarters here il re-
garded as a relief, his departure from
the scene of the past trouble being re-
garded as an assurance that America
is not to become further embroiled In
the Central American trouble.
The failure of the United States to
block his escape is generally accepted
as a sign that the position taken by
the secretary of state has been found,
on reflection, to be untenable.

THETIS HERE To
PATROL ISLES
Historic Revenue Cutter Will
Guard Bird DenizenS From
Japanese Raiders.

In the interest of the preservation
of tird life on the small isiets to the
westward of the Hawaiian group, the
revenue cutter Thetis arrived in port
from Seattle on Christmas Day. With
in a very short time she win leave on
a cruise which will include visit to
each island in the newly created BIRD
reservation, y to learn definitely
whether Japanese bird-allers have VS.
tied the islands lately to kill the feath-
cred inhabitants.
The well-known cutter is command
ed by Capt. w. V. E. Jacobs, who was
recently in complete command of the
four United States revenue cutters pa
trolling the seal islands of the Bering
Sea. Captain Jacobs is not a stranger
to Honolulu, as he made brief visit
here in 1898 as an officer of the cutter
Corwin. At that time Paramount
B1ennt was here as a special envoy of
President Cleveland, who had need to
get some important dispatches to the
American representatives. The cutter
Corwin was made ready at San Fran
cisco and she was put to her best speed
on the run down When the Corwin
arrived, political affairs were at high
tension and few of the crew were al
lowed ashore. The dispatches were de-
livered and the Corwin returned to San
Francisco.
Thetis Rescued Greedy.
The history of the Thetis is involved
in the tragedies of the Arctic seas.
When Greedy and his party failed to
return to the United States from their
dash to the pole, the Thetis was fitted
out and commanded by Lieutenant, aft
erwards Admiral. Schley of Santiago
fame, and sent north to find the ex-
plorer. Sehley found the starving
party ard brought the survivors back
to the United Statse aboard the Thetls.
Several years ago the Thetis was sta
toned in Hawaiian waters, with Cap
tain Hamlett in command. She is Il

Under Open Sky.

Under the open sky, with Old SOL
vainly endeavoring to get a peep at
the strange spectacle, two thousand
boys and girls of Honolulu paid homage
to the malihini Santa Claus on Christi
mas morning. The nationalities of the
children were many, and only keen
analyst could tabulate them, but in this
motley crowd were big-eyed Hawaii

daughters of Sunny Italy, Portugal and
Spain; tow headed descendants of the
worshipers of Thor and Wooden; black
urchins from the Antilles, and many
hrighteyed haoles who We're just plain
American boys and girls. 1t was a
conglomerate mixture of the races that
passed in review before Santa Claus
and spectators, numbering almost as
many as the little ones who received
gifts.
1t was an army of children which
passed before the beautifully decorated
tree in the grounds of Bishop Park op-
posite the Young Hotel. and an army
of adults watched the little ones as
they received the presents to which all
Honolulu contributed that the beauti-
full custom, established year ago by
a number of lonesome and wealthy
Americans, who knew of no better way
to spend Christmas than to make poor
children happy, might be perpetuated
and become an annual event Last

FINES GROCER 500 FOR HAv-
ING LOADED SCALES.
Piece of Lead Weighing About Half
an Ounce Found Under Scoop
Frame-Denies Guilt.

The heaviest sentence imposed for
violation of the weights and measures
regulations in the past two years was
pronounced upon Morris Winthrop,
grocer. of 1904 18th street today in the
Police Court. He was fined S1O0 in de-
fault of which the court ordered him to
be committed to the workhOuse for six
months.
Winthrop was arraigned upon the COM
plant of George a. Howe. assistant
sealer of weights and measures, in conse-
quence of a scale inspection at the de-
PENDANTS store several days ago, when it
was discovered that a small piece of lead
weighing slightly more than half an ounce
was concealed under the scoop frame.
The scales We're capable of holding from
five to eight pounds in staple groceries.
The defendant pleaded ignorance of the
presence of the lead, and told the court
it had evidently been placed there by
children. This was denied by witnesses,
and during the trial a supposed pound of
sugar purchased from his store was
weighed on the inaccurate scales and
found to tally full pound with the lead
placed in the scoop frame.

| The committee on law and legislation
of the Chamber of Commerce has not fin
ished its hearing on the merits of the
Cary BILL introduced in the House. which
places the jurisdiction of all cruelty to
animals cases entirely in the hands of
the police. Another meeting will he called
within few days. at which President
Snow of the Humane Society will have
at his command all the facts and figures
on which he was Intercepted Saturday
produce at that time.
A. Leftwich Sinclair. chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce committee SAID
today that if the committee should con-
clude that legislation similar to that pro-
posed by the Cary bill is desirable sub
committee would be appointed to drafting
a measure for transmission to the House
District committee. He said that In the
opinion of members of the Champer or
Commerce interested in the matter the
Cary bill has defects.

Declines to Accept Suggestion.
One of the members of the Horse Own
ers' Association suggested that four vet
erinarians be given the work now done
by the agents, thereby avoiding any pos
sible chance for persecution; that is, any
:nsistence upon agents bringing in cases
in order to earn salary. President Snow
! declined to accept the suggestion. At
torney Kennedy also made an appeal on
behalf of the Humane Society.
The Horse Owners Association has
claimed that the Humane Society is more
interested in collecting SneS than allevi-
ating cruelty to animals and has also
stated that the cases taken into court
have been exaggerated. 1t is stated that
Washington has thirty-six times many
prosecutions for cruelty to animals as has
the city of New York.

that the particular condition and needs

you send to Congress a message urging
