.EMBEzzLERs ARE
HELD IN PUNCHES
Chief McOuffie Has Several on
a String Awaiting
Disposition.

Embezzlers have occupied a great
deal of the time of Chief McDuffie
for the past two days, and the wire
less again figured in a case. While
the chief, after his experience with
Jue 1uen Now, rather SHES at cabled
or aerogrammed information and re
quests to arrest people, he was willing
to take one more chance and landed
his man nicely.
The wireless was from Papaaloa and
was to the effect that japanese
named NaKagawa had embezzled $500.
He was to be held, if found, the victim
being on the way up to prefer charges
against him. After some searching,
the chief caught the man just as he
was about to board the Manchuria for
Japan, three hundred dollars being
found III his trunk. He claims that he
can make the deficit up.
Another embezzlement case was
landed when Chu Dai Duck. Korean,
was arrested in Kalihi by Officer Woo
of the special staff. Chu Dai rad been
the "ditchman' and head of hui of
Korean cane contractors at Waialua,
where they had been working ground
ever since the strike.
1t appears that they were always
more or less quarreling, but managed
to hang together for a year or so.
Finally Chu Dai went to collect the
month wages due the nine, amount
ing to about $50, and promptly disap-
peared. They found him and demanded
that he come through with the coin,
but he consigned them to warmer eli
mates and departed again.
They then laid complaint with the
police and after a prolonged search the
man was located working for family
named Cockett, in Kalihi

NEGRO ACQUITTED

After six hours of deliberation, a
jury in the criminal department of the
circ1it court yesterday acquitted
James Evans, the negro charged with
criminal assault on a girl in the half

The defense claimed that they had
proved consent to the act and that this
invalidated the prosecution s case.

TRIED To RAILROAD
WIFE ON MANCHUR|A
But Habeas Corpus Proceedings
Sever the Loving Couple
and All Is Well.

The festive little habeas corpus writ
came in handy and for once received
its proper use, yesterday, when little
Haru Taniguchi appeared before Judge
Robinson in the circuit court and
smiled in the judges face while her at
torney, Joseph Lightfoot moved that
the writ be dismissed. For the cruel
husband who was going to carry her
off was hundred miles at sea and she
was perfectly free.
Her husband Umetaro Taniguchi ac-
cording to her claims, brought her from
Hilo to Honolulu by physical force
which became necessary to overcome
her Intense love for the town on the
crescent bay. After he got her to Ho-
nolulu he brought her to japanese
hotel and, still according to her claims.
held her confined there for a week.
Day before yesterday he took her on
board the Manchuria after securing
passage for both of them to Japan and
locked her below.
Nine O'Clock Monday evening Fasa-
kuchi Fuji, friend of the distressed
heroine called on Lightfoot and told
him the ladv's pilikia. Lightfoot pro
cured a warrant of arrest on a writ of
habeas corpus at once and at midnight
the nigh sheriff went down to the
steamer and found everything accord
ing to the story. Haru protested en-
phaticallv any desire to return to the
Land of the Cherry Blossoms and by
the time she appeared in court the
steamer had left the port. Incidentally
the husband left without her, his better

Simply Slaughter.

But gunners now and then ranged
over the low foothills, although Manoa
is in the city Limits, and guns have no
place there. The owners Of the dove
cote watched anXiously for their pets
after hunters secured the hills. Occa-
sionally d shower of bird shot fell
upon their roof and a pane of glass was
once broken by boys who were using a
22-caliber rifle.
On Monday afternoon shots were
heard upon the hill, and after one dis
charge, which was intentionally close
to the houses of that section, the Chi
nese cook ran into the house calling
for the mistress and demanding that
she go to the kitchen door. There lay
one of the turtle doves, blood stream
ing from its bill. The Chinaman, with
tears in his eyes, explained that after
the shot he was surprised to hear a
futtering of wings directly over him
and the dove came down almost al his
feet, and as he leaned over to pet it,
he saw blood. The bird expired almost

which had so befriended it, and fell

premises vainly looking for its com

hunter got for shooting aimlessly at one
of the prettiest of the feathered inhab
itants of the valley, is not known.

FOR PROTECTION
Of TURTLE DOVES
Law Is Needed to Prevent Their
ExtermInatIOn-Pat athletic
Death incident.

Action has been taken to bring before
the new Legislature a law to protect
the wild doves for at least three years
to prevent their extinction. A petition
is now being circulated
That protection is needed for the
turtle doves of this island, particularly
those which nave made their homes IN
the valleys and suburbs close to the
city, from gunners who regard their
lives as only fit for their sporting pleas
ure, is amply illustrated by a little in
eIdent which took place III Manoa
Valley on Monday afternoon.
A pair of turtle doves formerly nest
ed On the hills above the Etfinger place,
but for the past seven or eight months
have made their nest in a grove Of
trees in large lot near the Manoa
road and the Manoa park. They visited
one house frequently, at first being very
shy, but gradually having confidence in
the people who resided there. A dove
cote is kept on these premises and final
ly the turtle doves were allowed to
mingle with the very tame pigeons, ap-
parently no objection being made by
the pigeons to their new friends.
At feeding time the doves kept on
the outer edge of the pigeons, now and
then picking up a grain of wheat or
corn. Gradually they came into the
circle and for months have been regard
ed by the occupants of the premises as
pets. In the early morning the call of
one dove to its mate was particularly
attractive

Time to Act.

1t is time the police department acted
against the promiscuous shooting which
is continually going on in Manoa and
near College Hills. Five and eight
years ago shooting was not dangerous
there as there were few homes in the
valley. Today it is as thickly populat
ed and housed as Makiki, and firearms
should not be permitted to be discharg
ed there
Fearing that doves will be extermin-
ated w. II. Charlock has taken the nat
ter up and will have bill introduced
before the next legislature to prevent
indiscriminate shooting of these pretty
birds. A petition has been circulated
and signed by the following:
"To the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives, Territory of Hawaii:
''We, the undersigned licensed sports
men of the City and County of Homo

Farmers il this vicinity are making
the most OF the splendidcrop of Gram

 "The necessity of more lands under cultivation to produce more food and clothing need only. be stated to give the second strong reason why the government must take an interest in the waste lands of Louisiana and oth- CT Southern States. Your rich lands may be drained at cost of $5 per acre located near the congested cen ters, and will produce the kind of food that supplies the kitchens of the consuming masses. The State of Louisiana has 10,000.000 acres that can be made into rich farms. These idle lands are enriched by centuries of decaying vegetation and deposits of silts. They are the richest and deepest alluvial soil in the world. This applies equally to the 25,000,- 900 acres of alluvial soil on both sides of the Mississippi river in the states of Illinois.
