FEMALE FAC|N
!. CAUGHT BY
LEAL
Eighteen-Year-OId Girl
Becomes a Real
Burglar.

Female Fagins are not altogether a
novelty in Honolulu, but few are so
bold as eighteen year-old Thelma Pua,
who was arrested yesterday by CHIEF
Leal and charged with larceny in the
second degree. As evidence against
this youthful thief the chief has suit
of mems clothes, gold watch chain
and bicycle.
The clothes and bicycle belong to
All Sing, Chinaman residing in a
second-story room opposite Aala Park.
On Monday night some Chinese saw a
woman leaving the building trundling
bike and carrying some clothing on
her arm. All Sing reported his loss
to the police and Leal and his men
worked on the case. They located the
girl who was identified by the China
man VINO saw ner leaving All Sing s
place. She broke down and admitted
the theft ana conducted the police to
another room where the stolen goods
were found.
Ex-pugilists had bad inning in the
police court yesterday morning when
Sailor M0rch, a former pug with a
poor reputation and a police record
was fined $50 for assault and battery
on a Chinaman, and Joe Silva, other
wise known as the ''Punchbowl
Demon" also of little reputation, hav.
ing served time, was fined $40 and
costs for assaulting one Gibson.
Plantation Police Officer Spillner
was fined $25 for assault on China
man. It was brought out in the testi.
mony that Spillner arrested the China
man and in taking him to the office
of the plantation tied the man s hands
and then fastened the other end Of the
rope to his saddle. Thus he trotted
off with the prisoner. The prisoner
considered this rather harsh treatment
and had the officer arrested.
George Kaea, the professional gam
bier, pleaded guilty to the charge Of
gambling before the district magis-
frate on Monday morning and was
fined 5000. Judge Andrade handed out
one of the hardest talks ever imposed
upon a prisoner, and stated that if
Kaea ever come before him again on
any charge, and particularly for gam
bling. he would send him to prison.
The other arrested with Kaea were
fined 81 and costs each. Kaea, who
was fined $3.50 a few weeks ago on
a gambling charge, appealed his case
to the Circuit Court.

TWO SHIPS FOR SALE.

New York, Aug. 5.-The Cunard
line officials have confirmed the report
that their steamships Umbria and
Etruria are for sale. Both of them
are now at an English ship yard. Both
vessels played conspicuous parts 25
years ago, when. they were first
launched, in lowering the Transit
lantic record and are still rated as the
fastest single screw steamships af1oat.
The Umbria and Etruria lowered
the Transatlantic record to six days,
one hour and Sc minutes, but since the
construction of vessels with triple ex-
pansion engines, twin screws and tur-
bines, the company finds that they are
too expensive to operate, as they burn
too much coal.
