THE STOLEN RECORDS

LIE certificates O1 registrations
aggregating about sixty thousand
which We're stolen from the office
of the registrar of voters in New
Orleans have been recovered. The
records were found Saturday after
noon in an attic of the City Hall.
The clue leading TO their recovery,
was obtained by a citizen joseph
]. Bosch, who was employed at the
headquarters of the Good Govern
ment League during the State cam
paign, form scraps of paper found
in an alley way near the old City
Hall attic.
In the development of this discov-
cry conveyed by Bosch to the New
Orleans Item, two reporters con-
nected with this newspaper, with
Bosch completed the find, and then
came to The police after the mys
terry had been unraveled.
Commenting on the stealing of
these records, the New Orleans
States says: -~-r>''
All the circumstances surround
sng tie Their made it clear that it
could not have been pulled off with
out the connivanee of persons more
or less intimately related with the
registration office and the munich
pal building; but if Inspector Rey-
nolds and his force made anything
more than a perfunctory effort at
unraveling the mystery there Is
nothing to show for it.
From the beginning indecision
marked their handling of the case
and it was all to apparent that there
existed feeling that. while there
was to be some show of effort for
public effect, leads were not to be
assiduously followed if they tended
to involve members of the city or
ganization.
The consequence was that the
work OF recovering the stolen pa
pers and running down the thieves
was left to private initiative and
industry; and the result has been
disastrous to the prestige of the
!. police department, for the admins
tration, not by chance, the public
may well believe, but because some
one with guilty knowledge has
given the snap away.
On the part of the city organic
alton the whole aim has been to ere
ate the impression that the theft
was a vain thing, if it was intended
to shield anyone from possible con-
sequences in the courts, and that
the papers we're not public records
and might have been destroyed at
the will of the Registrar or anyone
else; in fine that they were of no
consequence.
For the standpoint of the regular
organization the whole affair is de-
plorable. 1t was bad enough that
the papers we're permitted to be
stolen. IT is infinitely worse that
they should be recovered in the City
Hall and that the police department
should be left in the position it
finds itself today.
TIE mater must not be left where
ii is. The chase of the thieves them
selves must be relentless1y pursued.
The conditions under which and the
place in which the loot has been
found assure an early expose of the
entire conspiracy. Every man who
was concerned in this unspeakable
outrage ought to be hauled before
the bar and given the extreme pen
atty of the law.

Inspection Of Old SpreckeIs
Mansion Destroys Cher
ished Traditions

With the purchase by Harry F..
Lewis of the old SpreckeIs mansion,
the ruthless hand of commercialism
has again been stretched forth to de-
stroy an old and cherished tradition
regarding the Rumble Bee House
Ever since the day Claus Spreckels
shook the dust of Honolulu from his
feet and departed for the mainland
vowing never more to return, legend
has clung lovingly around his man
sion.
Tradition has had It, that the house
had beef permitted to remain just as
Spreckels had left II. with the break
fast dishes unwashed on the table, and
that Of late years a countless brood
OF humble bees had used the house as
hive and practically destroyed it.
Follows the aforesaid ruthless hand,
shattering tradition, Mr.. Lewis in
spected his property yesterday and as
a result learned that his purchase had
brought him more than he had ex-
pected.
The house was found to be in per
feet condition and full of rare trea-
sures gathered from all parts of the
world.
