BURGLAR WORK
RECALLS GRACE

Antoine ROdrigues, who drives an
automobile from the Young Hotel au-
tomobile stand, is very anxious to
know if Anderson Grace is still in
town. Some time last night between
nine o'clock and midnight his home
at the corner of Lusitana and Alapai
streets was entered from the rear, the
person or persons who gained entrance
through the kitchen window taking
every thing in the way of eatables that
were stored in the kitchen and pantry.
Rodrigues at once came to the con-
clusion that Grace was at large, as
Anderson was always fond of food and
drink. In addition to the food that
was taken, several bottles Of wine and
quantity of soap were also missed
this morning by Rodrigues when he
awokc.
The matter was reported to Chief
McDufie who Immediately put one of
his seuths on the case. Money and
other yaluables that were in the house
we're not touched, which makes Rodri-
CUES feel all the more certain that it
was Grace.

MRS. HEILBRON
DROVE CAUTIOUSLY

According to the physicians at the
Queens hospital, Joe Silva, the four
teen year old boy who was run down
on School street near Liliha yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. William F. Heilbron
in her automobile, is resting easily
and as far as can be learned will be
able to get out in a few days. At
first it was thought that the boy had
sustained internal injuries, but a
closer examination proved that it was
only shock and few external bruises.
From, the report turned in by Officer
Needham, Mrs. Heilbron was driving
her machine through School street at
Il rate we'll within the speed limit, and
she sounded the horn several times
when approaching Liliha street.
The child was playing on the street
with some other children when Need
ham noticed the machine coming, and
before he had had a chance to give
warning Silva started to run across
the street. The machine was stopped
few feet from the corner of Liliha
street and the injured lad placed in
the rear of the machine and hurried to
the hospital for treatment.

A peculiar case has just terminated
in police court in a manner which
may be considered lucky for the COM
planning witness.
Chong Won See, a Chinese lady of
prepossessing appearance and consid-
cradle social standing, was arrested
on a warrant sworn to by Chinese
man who accused her or malicious
injury, inasmuch as it was alleged
that she had destroyed certain lattice
work and had broken a window of
house on Pauahi street.
Bert Lightfoot appeared before Po-
lice Magistrate Andrade and defended
the woman who was much embarrass-
ed at being dragged into the limelight
through what developed to be no fault
of her own.
Bert Lightfoot put up a good case
and the lady was discharged and the
police magistrate, in his best terms,
proceeded to roast the complaining

which is being carried this trip, the
Pacific Mail liner Mongolia, Captain
Kilt, arrived off port early this morn
ing and came alongside of the Wal
kiki side of the Alakea street wharf
at 10:30. Eleven hundred and fifty

for San Francisco. The largest part
of the freight consists of tea, silk and
mating
The big ship which went ashore in
the harbor of Shimidzu was not dam
aged at all, the plates at her fore-foot

ing dented.
Fine weather was reported by the
officers the entire voyage from Yoko-
hama. The Manchuria and Chiyo
Maru were passed very close on the
trip from Japan.
Wireless communication with the
Manchuria was kept up for several
days as Manager Schwerin was anx
ious to get the full details of the
grounding caused by the ship failing
to answer her helm. The vessel went
through typhoon at Hongkong but
came out undamaged.
Two hundred and forty six passen
gers were brought for Honolulu in the

The foregoing caDlegram was re-

of the Hawaiian Promotion Committee
who visited the islands some time ago.
While Mr.. Wood was here he visited
many points of interest In the Philip
pines and gathered great number of
samples of the principal products of
the islands. He was very enthusias-
tic over the future of these eastern
possessions of the United States and
promised the Merchants Association,
which organization assisted him ma
terlailY in getting data regarding the
islands and samples of their many fine
products, that he would do his utmost
to bring before the people at home the
value of the things that are made and
grown here.
His cablegram to the Merchants

alleged facts of which were by no
means anything upon which careful
man had any right to land a com
plant.
The complaining witness was invit-
ed for the time to take a seat in the
prisoners box, for that it appeared for
the moment that there might be
something doing in the matter of land
ing him in Jail On a charge of per-
jury. 1t appeared that it was more
a case of malicious prosecution than
an affair Of malicious injury as al
legged.
But fortunately for the complainant,
he has been allowed to go on the bene-
fit of the doubt.
The lady in the case, it appears,
had right to do what she did do,
having merely taken away from the
house in question certain property
which belonged to her.
