BRECKONS Gets
SOME MORE DOPE
Letter of Chinese Prisoner Leads
to Discovery of Two
Tins of Opium.

''I have two piece rice in kerosene
can on the roof Please get them for
me" wrote Chinese prisoner at the
Jail to a friend who is still outside.
The friend didn't get the two piece
rice, but United States District Attor-
ney Breckons, being very obliging
person always ready to accommodate
a friend, did. Strange. to say, the
preciate the favor done him. This
may, perhaps, be accounted for by the
fact that the two piece rice turned out
to be two tins of opium of particu-
larly poor grade.
Breckons, by some curious mistake,
got the letter written by the ChiSese
to his friend, and, just to make sure
that there were no grammatical err
rors in it, had it translated. Then, to
make sure that the request of the pris-
oner was complied with, he chartered
a sea-going hack and visited the place
where the two pieces of rice were said
to be stored in the kerosene tin.
Later he sent for the prisoner, the
same who not long since offered, for
the sum of $50, to tell Chief McDufie
where opium was being sold and who
later claimed he was only joking, and
asked him about those two piece rice
The celestial had forgotten all about
them, but Breckons piled him into the
hack and had him direct the driver
where to go. Arrived there, the Chi
nese made search of the place, but
couldn't find tn two piece rice-at
beast he said he couldn't. Breckon!
asked him if by any possibility they
! might be in certain kerosene tin
Certainly not, said the Chinese.
And that was about where the big
stick of the law fell on him, for Brock
/ ons informed him that he knew al
! them safely stored in his own office
! The celestial told a few new and re
| freshingly original lies, but when his
story that the two packages contained
only two bottles of medicine failed to
make any visible impression, he gave
it up and confessed that they con
tanned opium.
The opium is substituted goods, EVIL
IDENTIFY, being of the So or Sc a tin
quality, though contained in stamped
tins bearing the brand of a quality
worth now about $50 tin. Breckoni
believes that the Chinese not only in
tended to fool him and Chief McDuffie
but also his own fellow countrymen
But he must have thought they wer,
easy if he believed he could pass off {
vile quality of dope ON experienced
opium smokers for first-class goods.
The jocular Chinese will probably
remain for some time as the guest o.
the federal authorities, who hope Il
be able to find out where he obtained
the two piece rice.

PHILADELPHIA FACES
A GENERAL STRIKE

PHILADELPHIA, February 2S.-
The members of the central labor union,
the president of which is now under
arrest, met yesterday and voted favor
ably on the question of sympathetic
strike, to support the striking street
car operators The central labor union
is composed of the representatives of
one hundred and forty allied unions,
with combined membership in this
city of one hundred and twenty-five
thousand men.
These will all go out on strike next
Saturday unless the street car com
pany comes to some agreement with its
employees during the week.
That an agreement will be reached
is doubtful, the company having re-
fused to consider any suggestion of a
compromise. Murphy, the strike or
ganizer, is under arrest, and excite
ment is running high on account of the
street fighting and the loss of lire
which has resulted on both sides. Yes
terday the rioting was kept up.

PLANT FOR THE

WILL UNLOAD AT THE SITE

Machinery and material for the con.
struction of the Pearl Harbor drydoct
arrived yesterday from San Francisco
on the schooner w. H. Marston.
The material may be taken to Pearl
Harbor in the schooner, as the channel
from open sea to near the drydock site
is fairly navigabe for deep water sail
ing vessels under direction of towboats.
If not, the material will be transferred
to railroad cars at the railroad wharf
and sent down over the O. r. 6 L.
main line, switching over to the new
spur near Puuloa and thus being trans
ported direct to the site. The water
route, however, may be the one select
ed, as the Hawaiian Dredging Company
which has the contract for dredging the
channel and harbor and the drydoclS
site, expects to have it's lumber dis.
charged direct from the schooners Ariel
and Amaranth, which are due in a short
time.
The machinery and materials arriving
| yesterday have been used in the con
struction of the Mare Island drydock
The plant is extensive and consists OF
derricks, booms, heavy timbers, boilers
engines and tackle.
The dredging work on the drydock
will be continued although there is Q
temporary halt in some of the work
owing to the recommendation to con
gress by the secretary of the navy that
the dock be built 100 feet longer thar
the present contract calls for which IL

MUCH OPIUM IS
BEING SMUGGLEO
Price of Dope Has Gone Up, but
There Is Plenty to Be
Bought.

; 81 don't believe that when the law
prohibiting the importation of opium
into the United States went into effect
April l, the supply of the stuff in Ho-
nolulu was large enough to last the
smokers three months,' stated United
terday afternoon. "Yet they are all
still smoking opium and the supply
seems to be plentiful, though the price
has gone up. Before, the passage of
the law, good quality opium was worth
about Sc or $3.50 a tin; now the same
quality opium sells for $50. But there
is plenty of it here. If one knows the
ropes, he can go downtown and get any
amount of the dope"
The problem which the federal au
thorities have to solve is to find out
how the opium is brought into the coun-
try and to stop the importation. And
this is a difficult thing to do. 1t is
very certain that large quantities are
being brought in all the time by the
steamers from the Orient, but it is
very probable that this method does
not account for nearly all that is being
smuggled in. The belief persists that
the dope is being brought from the
other side and landed somewhere on
one of the little islands to the west
of Honolulu, whence it is brought in
by sampans. But up to the present
the authorities have not been able to
get any evidence pointing to the guilt
of anybody in particular. The opium
however. is coming in in considerable
quantities.
