BOYS STEAL CLOTHES
Went to RoOming House and Rined
 Practically Every Room in House

Three young-loolsing fellows whose names are unknown stole about $50 worth of clothing from a rooming house at 22oS1a Second avenue yesterday. The boys came to the house Tuesday and asked for rooms The key which the landlady gave the boys fitted all the rooms in the house. and this is where they got in some good work
 After the other roomers at the place had left yesterday morning the boys went to nearly every room in the house and took their pick of any clothing which they found. In each room, when they found some wearing apparel to suit their taste, they discarded their own and put on the new. Parts of their clothing were found scattered all over the house, but what they left behind was not so good as what they took.
 The boys left the house yesterday noon and have not been heard from since. They told the landlady that they were from Annston. Officer Jones of the po- lice force claims that he saw the boys Sunday

The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1910-08-12

Seeing the Hawaiian rifemen in
town the other day, en- route East, re-
minded me of the time in 1898 when all
the American born militia of Honolulu
and the Grand Army Post also, were
in arms against the United States,
writes The Onlooker in the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
1t was when Minister Willis, the man
who succeeded Paramount Blount, went
over to restore the Queen on the ground
that she had been dethroned by United
States troops There was no truth in
this story; the leading Royalist paper
expressly disclaimed it at the time;
it was an invention of Paul Neumann,
the astute lawyer who handled the
Queens case. But Cleveland believed
it and it was uncertain whether or not
he intended to use force. If he did, the
American colony meant to fight.
This was not so absurd as it seemed.
The Americans knew that Cleveland
had no constitutional right to declare
war on the republic of Hawaii without
the assent of congress; and they argued
that he would not go so far without

Americans felt that they could hold
their own until word could be got TO
San Francisco and congress given a
chance to act. There were two United
States warships in the harbor, but, of
course, they would not lombard the
town. The fighting, if any, would be
between the 400 or 800 seamen who
could be sent ashore and the 1000 Ha-
waiian militia, regulars and special
police, posted about the town and in
trenched behind sandbags at the palace,
There was no cable and no steamer
about TO leave for the Coast. Minister
Willis had revenue cutter at his dis
posal and he was to use this in sending
his own news to Washington, but he
would take none for the island govern
ment In due time he called on Presi
dent Dole, read his instructions from
Cleveland and later made a demand in
writing for the restoration of the
Queen. IT was refused in an admirable
letter
Meanwhile the President had with.
drawn his permission for United States
sailors TO come ashore They could be

BURCHFIELD Gets
LIGHT PUNISHMENT
officer of Marine Corps Reduced
Thirty PointS-PoIice Trial
May Result.

An easy come-down was yesterday
given to Lieutenant Burchfeld, U. S.
M. c., who has just been tried for con-
duct unbecoming an officer and a gem
tleman. The final revision of the deci-
sion of the court martial reduces the
lieutenant thirty points and he was
yesterday released from custody and
resumed his command at Marine Bar
racks.
Deprived of military technically,
he was accused of rushing out of his
Waikiki cottage in drunken condition
and holding up a number of people at
the point of revolver. This occur
renee wound up a series of complica-
tions of an unsavory variety in which
the officer is said to have placed him
self. Following the first mentioned es-
capade he was arrested on a warrant
sworn to by Police Officer s. X. Kaha,
who was one of those threatened. The
naval authorities expressing their de-
sire to dispose of the matter by court
martial, the civil authorities continued
the case on the calendar. Just what
charges were tried or what evidence
was heard is not known, the press and
public being excluded from the hearing.
The court martial split on a decision,
some of his judges demanding his resig-
nation from the service and others de-
manding that he be restored to his for
mer position. 1t finally agreed on a
compromise which was a year S sus.

NEW METHOD 0F
REVIvING DROWNED
Safer Than Old Plan and Very
Much Easier for the
Operator.

LONDON, July 29.-The Royal Life. ]
Saving Society has circulated particu.
lars of the new Schafer method for re.
suscitating the apparently drowned, and
charts showing this and other methods
are being displayed at Lighthouses and
other places where boating men can
best study them.
The old way Of resuscitating the
apparently drowned was to lay the
patient upon his back with a hard roll
of clothing under the shoulder, and,
having fastened the tongue to prevent
suffocation, to induce respiration by
raising and lowering his arms and press
ing the chest at frequent intervals. The
Schafer method is quite different. 1t
is method which can easily be re.
membered and put into operation by
one person. The same rules apply
equally whether the subject has been
drowned or is suffering from an cleo
trio shock, save that in the latter case
it is necessary to find dry surface on
which to lay him.

guns at the palace.
Then the Grand Army Post turned
out. A committee from it, duly ap.
pointed, waited on the President and
It's spokesman said something to this
effect: "We represent the local post
of the G. A. r. We don't like to fire
on the old flag and the blue uniform,
but they are both being misused and
dsgraced, so if you can use us, do so.

wounds" but if you'll put me behind
the sandbags with my rife III get ten
or twelve of them before they get me. &"
As soon as Minister Willis learned
that the Queen would not be restored,
he sent the revenue cutter to the
Coast. Only his messages were taken,
This captain kept the cutter outside
the harbor so that no one could com
municate with the shore and came in TO
wire the story himself. But the secret
was not kept long. Congress and the
public were suspicious. They wanted
to know what was happening in Ha-
wall. The mystery made by the cut
ter and its commander put everybody
on the qui vive. And then, when con.
gress called for all papers bearing on
the Hawaiian question, the mystery
came out-and what row there was
the country over.
A week or so passed before Hawaii
got the news from Washington. Mean.
while things had been so tense between
the opposing forces that nobody slept
and the time is still recalled as ''the
black week. " On the day the news
came there was big occasion for re.
ioicing, but none occurred. People
were too tired. Everybody went to
sleep with the sur, aud it was long
after breakfast time when they awoke.
Then the first thing they did was to
