WORKED CLEVER TRICK
 AT SKELETON FARM Man Who Pretended He Was Going to Buy tine Place Slipped Away with Pocketbook Containing SIP.

Coming to the Henry Latham farm in Preston last Friday a stranger, who pretended he wanted to buy the farm worked a clever dodge and it is claim ed stole a pocketbook containing S12. He had been shown about the farm where John Stapleton now lives, and on Monday disappeared. Soon after the pocketbook was missed. An effort was made to get him, the local police being called, but he went on the Nor wfch & Westerly road to Westerly, where he got off to Providence, it is believed.
 During his stay at the farm he com plimented Mrs. Suspicion on the many favors shown him and said he wanted to give her a sovereign which had gone through the San Francisco fire She was much pleased at the gift and at once got her pocketbook and put it into it. She had occasion to leave the house soon after and on her re- turn the stranger mentioned that he would go out for a short walk and turn soon That was the last seen of him. Mrs. Stapleton found that her pocketbook was gone when she looked for it. There was about SIP therein

home for her and they would be hap
 py- In their condolences she had pre-
 viOuSly spoken to him about having
 $500 in her own name which she had saved According to a Hebrew custom she loaned this to him after their en- gagement- After her return to New York, where she was employed at mak- ing waists at $10 week, she received many letters from Louis and about twice a month Louis went to New York to visit her, spending from two days to q week there at the Skolnik house.
 Louis told in one letter of making $50 on some hams he sold in Boston, but in another he said he had lost money. He wrote about his finances from MT. Skolnik. This continued for about a year, when Louis love seemed to chill and his visits grew less. The letters stopped and as nothing had been arranged about the wedding she said she was heartbroken and had to give up work because of her shattered health. She has not been able to work since. The $500 has never been re turned.
 Many of the letters were read and in cross examination the plaintiff said she was sure Louis had told her he was doing well and would provide her a good home. There were letters writ ten by both parties and one on each side was in Hebrew, which it was de- cided to hold and have read by an in terpreter.
 At the afternoon session there was a between the counsel, Thay- CT and Perkins, regarding a settlement which occupied the entire afternoon, but resulted in an agreement being which will take the cause out of the courts hands.
 Court was adjourned to come in this morning.

GROWING CHILDREN. The Period when the Nervous Activity
 is at It's Greatest.

Against the practice of giving tea and coffee to children, we cannot speak too strongly. Childhood is the period when the nervous activity is at it's greatest. The brain is ever busy re- ceiving new impressions. Reflex ac- tiOn. coordination of muscles and the special senses are all under special course of training
 'The nervous system is pushed to its utmost capacity and long is the list of victims that follow it's over -stimu- lation. In these little people nothing but harm can come from the use of such cerebral stimulants as tea or cof- fee. Bad, then. as this practice is, let us as physicians be aggressive in it's prohibition.
 Do not be satisfied by answering No when asked as to their use. but let us teach the families with whom we come in contact that such practice is evil We speak emphatically, because not only among the poor and unedu- cated, but among the rich, who should know better this practice is mar velously prevalent. ."-The HOne Doctor
 Children like warm beverage for breakfast and it is well for them to have it if the drink is a food and not a drug.
 Postum is made to supply rich nourishing liquid food with crisp coffee taste for those who cannot and should not use coffee. Analysis shows 1t to contain about fourteen per cent. of muscleforming elements and 661I per cent of energy and fat-producing clements, which go to nourish and sustain the delicate nerve centres throughout the body and from which the vital energy proceeds.
 The success of child or adult de- bends largely upon. proper sustenance for the body. Children who depend upon the intelligence of their elders to furnish them with good food de- serve our most careful attention and thought.

This verdict of coroner 5 jury, rem

it, the slayer of Julia kololou was last

that a woman had been injured. Ser

come to within a short distance of the
reservoir camp when they heard three
shots.
They arrived on the hard gallop, just
in time to see young Hawaiian woman,
barely twenty two years of age, eXplr-

her murderer gone.
Chief McDutfie was at once notified,
but as he was in court engaged at the

TAAYER SENT BY

Went to Philippines to Look
Into Opportunities for
Investment.

Alfred Finley Thayer was sent to
the Philippines by Walter Dillingham;.
This statement can be made authorita-
lively and etfectually settles the much
agitated question as to whom Thayer
actually represents in the far East
1t has been repeatedly denied by B.
F. Dillingham; and others now here con
nected with the Dillingham; company
that Thayer 5 statement that he repre-
scnts Dillingham; < Co is correct. This
denial is correct, for Thayer does not
represent the company but only an in
dividual member of it, and that with
out the knowledge of the head of the
company. He was sent to the Philip
pines to look into the possibilities of
investment in cane land because Wal
ter Dillingham; was persuaded that our
Eastern possessions offer a fair field
for making money.
1t is also understood that when
Thayer left Honolulu, he took with
him Walter Dillingham; 5 draft for
$4,000. though this statement can not
be made with the same authority as
can the one that he was sent by Walter

Thayer when he came to Honolulu

On Kamehameha Day Remember Kamehaneha's Words
PLAN To SAVE
THE BEACHES
Captain RobardS Has Theory as
to How Damage Is Done and
Suggests Remedy.

Capt. Frank F. Richards, United
States Marine Corps. of the Marine
Barracks, has advanced a theory as to
the reason why the beaches in front Of
the Moana and Seaside Hotels are dis
appearing through erosion, and has
practically given solution to the prob
lem of saving the beaches.
At the meeting of the promotion
committee yesterday afternoon Captain
Robards presented his views on the sub
ject in clear and concise way and
won the approval of the committee
He made rough drawings showing the
contour of Waikiki Bay, with the line
of reefs opposite the hotels and the
channel farther over toward the Dia-
mond Head side He showed how a
current sets in through the channel,
strikes along the beach from the Liliuo-
kalani and other nearby estates, and
then sweeps down past the Moana and
Seaside Hotels, carrying the loosened
sand along toward Kakaako.
He showed how, at high tide, the
waves beat in upon the beach, and with
a curling motion swept sand from the
shore into the water, where the sand
was kept in suspension until the tide
began to 90 out, when it either dropped
fn 20 10 ri : IA,
current westward.
It was Captain RObards' opinion that
although the contour of the beach had
been ages and ages in the making, yet,
aided by outside material influences,
the time had probably just arrived IN
this natural creation, for change. and
the current was doing the damage.
AS to his current theory, he stated
that he had tested this thoroughly and
found that objects thrown into the
water off Waikiki were carried one
hundred yards in twenty minutes, the
objects always setting toward the west.
This was rapid current and sand
would easily be carried along
His suggestion for preventing fur
Their damage would be to board up the
posts Of the Moana pier with planking,
so that the current. sweeping along
from the Diamond Head side and strik-
ing the planked pier, would be thrown
out toward the breakers, thus avoiding
the beaches which are now being 50
