The verdict was that it behooves Ho-
nolulu to look to it's doors at night and
to be less careless than has been the
custom for years, for the immigration
of loafers is increasing and after the
loafers come the "second-story'' men,
pickpockets, hold-up men and all man

Pearl Harbor and other Army and
Navy works are attracting many here
who come either in hope of obtaining
employment or to prey on the soldiery

ready here, all making extra work for

that it would be kept open for travel
induced plaintiffs and others to pur-
chase lots on this road above Campbell
avenue and thus enhanced the sale of
those lots Under such circumstances
plaintiffs are entitled to have it kept
open as against their grantor, pur-
chasers from him, and grantees from
them.
THE defendant refers to Pearson v.
Allen, 151 Mass. 50, Mailer v. Brum-
der, 92 Wis. Az, and many other cases,
holding that where there has been a
sale with reference to a plat showing
contemplated roads not dedicated pur-
suant to statute a purchaser is en-
titled only to have such roads kept
open that lead to the nearest public
highway. The other extreme view,
contended for by plaintiffs, is that un-
der such circumstances a purchaser is
entitled to have all the streets desig-
mated kept open, as held in Wolfe V.
Sullivan, 1873 Ind. 331; Taylor V. Com,
29 Graft. 7S0; In re Pearl Street, III
Pa. st. 565, and other cases. In this
conflict of authority we are not willl
ing to adopt the rule that gives the
purchaser only road 70 the nearest
highway. The TACT tbs lots are solo
as part of a tract intersected by num-
erous streets giving convenient access
to all parts enhances the value of
each lot, as is well understood by
those who lay out such lots for sale,
and a substantial closing of the pro
posed streets alters the entire charac-
ter of the tract. We need not go so
far as to hold that none of the streets
shown on the map may be closed, but
only that under the facts in this case
the road must be kept open between
Campbell and Kanaina avenues.
1T is also claimed by defendant that
the decree is erroneous in holding that
the general public as we'll as plain
tiffs have a right to use road Fl. This
point was made and satisfactorily dis
posed of in Rowan V. Portland, s B.
Mon. 232, 237, which case has been
approved by Morgan v. R. r. Co., 96
U. S. 716.
The further argument suggested by
defendant that, as he owns all the
land on both ides of road H he there
fore owns all the road in fee and may
consequently close it up, has obviously
no duplication in this case.
Where the complaining party is the
public or some party not apurchaser,
MS rights are usually held to depend on
a dedication Cincinnati v. White 6
Pet. 43l) but the purchaser of a lot
may rest his case on the theory of
estoppel. 1t is therefore unnecessary
to discuss other matters argued by de-
fendant relating to statutory dedication
and to the right of private citizen 10

tion without showing special injury

lsnecial to The Ruletin.N

Providence, Feb. 4.-Maria Albri, a
comely Portuguese woman of 10 years
of age, appealed to the police of this
city this morning for protection, telling
a weird tale of her alleged experiences
of the last few days. portion of
which she claimed were passed in
Norwich as an inmate of a Portuguese
boarding house, where she claims she
was subjected to abuse and repeated
assault. On one of these occasions
she claims to have made such an out
cry that other inmates of the house
interposed for her protection.
The wonan's story as she told 1t to
the police of the Third precinct is as
follows! About noon last Saturday she
was at her home in Newmarket, n. H,
when a compatriot named Hrary Ia
berous, 50 years of age, accompanied
by his nephew, a lad of years, came
to the door and finding her husband
Louis there ordered him to leave. This
the latter refused to do until TaberOus
drew a pistol, according to Mrs. Albri,
and threatened to shoot him if he did
not leave. He then compelled the
woman to accompany him. He took
her to Boston, she claims, where they
spent the night Saturday and the next
day he took her to Attleboro, leaving
there Monday morning and going to
Norwich, where they went to a Portu-
guese boarding house. She was unable
to give any information as to the To-
cation of this place or who kept it.
She claims that while there she was
so closely guarded that she was un-
able to call upon the police. On We'd
nesday, in one Of Taberous' attempts
to assault her, she made such an out
cry that other inmates Of the house
