Around the
dice Station

Dining at one of the best restaurants
in town as honored guest of a wealthy
Young man swelled the head of A.
McElroy, Honolulu s most conspicuous
example of the genus hobo, for he
speedily fell from his pedestal into the
hands of the police and was sent over
to the prison the other morning by
Judge Andrade for the term of ninety
DAYS on a charge of vagrancy. Nc
Elrov is professional hobo. He makes
boast of it and whenever arrested
considers that the joke is on the police,
not on himself.
1t is said that Mac s services were
wanted by candidate in the last cleo
ton. The man who wanted his vote
however, made condition that Mac
would have to move up from Aala Park
and take up his residence in the Union
Square gore. He was to preserve his
modesty there. But when Mac accept
ed an invitation to dine at an uptown
grill the other evening, Jack told him
firmly that he cut him off his pension
list entirely. 1t is said that Mac took
this to heart so much that he degener-
ated from being a hobo into VERT
able vag and the police had to take
him in.
In a former police administration
there was a sort of standing order
among the officers and detectives not
| to arrest Mac unless he committed a
crime. but never to take him in if he
was merely vagging, Mac knows that
| the High Sheriff cannot send him out
| to work on the roads or in the parks,
| and that incarceration in the prison is
| simply an opportunity to get fat on
the High Sheriff s fish and poi.
| Mac is a pensioner of Train Dispatch.
er Jack Doyle His residence is gener-
ally Aala Park, but occasionally he
moves into the next precinct nearer
| Chinatown and has his sleeping quar-
| tiers in a shed back of a Chinese res
taurant. Whenever he has ten cents
he generally strolls over to Jack and
exhibits the ten. Jack is onto the com.
bination and produces a nickel, the
wherewithal to get square meal at
Chinatown prices.
Naughty Philip.
! Philip Guerrero, the young fnanciel
who stole money out of two babies
banks, babes and banks being the
property of Damien Kama, told judge
Andrade yesterday morning that he
chad done it but was sorry for it.
He will have chance to cultivate re
pentance in the reform school. Phil Ii
said to be a bad, bad boy who ha:
been incarcerated within the portals OF
the reform school before. In fact, hi
was out on probation when he got int
this last scrape.
