WANT STRONG Man
ON A CHARGE OF
LIFTING TRUNKS
(From Sundays Advertiser }


Strong man Antoine Pirri who was
one of the stars in the Honolulu Amuse-
ment Company armament, that set
soon, was strong man to such good
Intents and purposes that the San Fran
cisco police swore out warrant against
him on charge of larcency, declaring he
"lifted' trunks all the way from the
Golden Gate to Honolulu.
Chief McDuffie yesterday received a
letter from Acting Chief of Police Shea
of San Francisco. The mainland Of
ficlals, it seems, We're unwilling to re-
sort to extradition for the strong man
and merely asked McDuffie to inJnce
him to return the trunks. The chief,
however, had the pleasure of cabling
back that Pirri had left on the Wei
helmina, trunks and all. He is also
accused of being a bigamist.
The trunks were stolen, according to
the letter, from Mrs. Pearl Pirri, nee
Rockwell, who Pirri married in Los
Angeles on March 5, 1912 without the
formality of a divorce from another
wife. He had wanted wife No. 2 to
accompany him here but she refused
under the circumstances and sought
criminal prosecution and the return of
her trunks.

HILo, April 26.-While Hilo was
worrying about Filipino burglars, the
suburb of Olaa has worse troubles.
There they sent burglars to Jail, only
to find them parading about in their
old haunts few days later.
The trouble at Olaa began few
weeks ago, when the railroad station
office at Eight Miles was robbed.
When the station agent went to work
one morning, he discovered that his
ticket box had disappeared. 1t was
found later about half mile from the
house. 1t had been broken open, but
nothing had been taken but piece of
chalk. Further investigation disclosed
the fact that the burglars had tried to
open the door of the steel safe by
twisting the knobs off the hinges.
Plantation Officer Coleman was called
in by the agent. He saw from the
foolish attempt which had been made
on the safe, that the burglary was the
work of inexperienced hands, so he set
out to find them. Coleman ran down
couple of suspicious-looking Filipinos,
and these he took with him to the Jail,
where he kept them locked up for in

ENGINEERS STILL
TROUBLED BY THE
DRYD0CK PROBLEM

Will the new concrete mixture dis
covered by the naval engineers cap
the bottom of the Pearl Harbor dry
dock basin so effectually that after the
dock is turned over to the government
by the contractors the material will
continue to Withstand the tremendous
pressure from underneath The naval
engineers are satisfied that they are
solving the concrete problem, and that
the second test of the concrete brick
tomorrow will demonstrate the fact
that they are on the right track, but
the drydock contractors are not so GER
tain.
cablegram has been sent to En-.
gineer L. s. Smith of the San Francisco
Bridge Company, who has been in per-
sonal charge of the drydock work, ask
ing him to secure certain information
regarding tests, sand, and mixtures, so
that when he returns to Honolulu
from the Coast the data for future
work will be complete. The concrete
test brick will be drawn out tomorrow
and subjected to minute inspection.
If it reveals no flaws the naval en-
gineers will be ready to pronounce the
mixture y. *. and the contractors can
go ahead with that formula and COM
mence their work over again.
w. F. Dillingham;, president of the
Hawaiian Dredging Company, which ex-
cavated the drydock basin, states that
in the event of more money being
available for the extension of the 500.
foot dock to 1000 feet, his company will
do the work, the original contract con,
tanning a provision that for any ex'
tensions or alterations the company
would be called upon to do the work at
so much per foot.
"The only difficulty" says Mr.. Dill
bingham, sis that the inner end of the
dock has already been closed by false
cribwork section where concreting has
been under way for sometime. We
can't get dredger in behind that por
ton of the dock, for the extension
would be made 200 feet inland. With
the use of a dredger such as we use
the work will be extremely difficult
We have heard that there is lot OF
money available for this work, and al
soon as we are notified that the worl,
is TO be done, we win get ready and
carry out our part Of the contract"

HILO, April 26.-When Daniel F. B.
Henry secured from Mrs. Sarah b.
Lacerdo a deed to all her property in
Puma, he did SO by the exercise of I'M
due influence and by frand. This was
the decision rendered Tuesday by Judge
Parsons in the suit to cancel the deed,
brought by Mrs. Lacerdo against Henry
The court ordered that the deed be
cancelled and that the defendant pay
the costs of the case.
In its decision the court states that
the defendant is the brother of the
plaintiff Is late husband She was the
owner of land at KaOhe, valued at
$4,000, and of house and lot at Ka-
poho, valued at $500. The plaintiff,
says the court, is inexperienced in bust
ness matters, has never had the care
and management of property, is addict
ed to the excessive use of Intoxicating
liquors, is of slight intelligence and of
will power far inferior to that of the
defendant.
On the death or the plaintiffs hus-
band, the defendant, with his family,
went to live with the widow, and the
two soon became very friendly and
confidential. As matter of fact, Mrs.
Lacerdo came to look upon Henry as
her main adviser, and at his suggestion
she drew from the bank $1,000, the
entire amount of life insurance left
her. Part of this she used for the
payment of debts, and the rest she

CLEANUP WEEK"
NOW PROPOSED
SIX DAYS RAKINa AND ONE DAY
WITH MANY CARTS FOR
sPoTLBss TOWN.
trrom Sundays Advertiser,


The entire first week Of June for HO-
nolulu g second cleanup" is the sug-
gestiOn advanced by Ed. Towse, one of
the special committee of the Central
Improvement Association which has the
matter in hand.
Mr.. Towse talked over the necessity
for another "Clean.Up Day" for Ho-
nolulu with President Pratt of the
board of health yesterday, finding the
health official very much in favor of
the idea. 1t was during the conference
that the suggestion of "Clean-Up
Week" was preached. The suggestion
ought to find favor with the general
public, as through its adoption could be
avoided the hangover mixup of the
first attempt to wash Honolulu face
and brush Honolulus teeth and make
1T presentable.
Week of Inspection
"Our committee has not yet written
its report and it might be premature to
say now just what we may recon-
mend,'' said Mr.. Towse yesterday,
"but it is likely that we will take
up the Cleanup Week idea and urge
1T upon the improvement association.
Our idea will be to have corps of six
ty or seventy volunteer inspectors to
go over the town during the first five
days of the week, explaining to the
people what should be done and elcour-
aging everyone to do his own share
toward making Spotless Town. Then,
on the sixth day, when everyone has
his piles of debris ready to cart away,
we would arrange to have the carts of
the city garbage department, the wa
CONS of the road department, whatever
drays and and wagons we can have
lent us and whatever Others we may
have to hire make a general collection.
1t is unlikely this time, with what we
have learned in the past, that we would
have any great quantities of debris left
over.
Fortunately, as all tenement house
proprietors, acknowledges, lodging
house people and such have to renew
their licenses. on July /, and cannot
secure renewals until after their prom
ises have been inspected and found
clean and sanitary, we will have no
trouble at all In getting them to CO.
operate heartily with us.
'Our Cleanup Week, if it is decid-
ed to have one, coming after the eff
ficient securing done by the men of the
Citizen IS Sanitary Committee and the
work of the first Cleanup Day, should
about finish up everything there may
be to do in making Honolulu an alb
solutely clean and sanitary CITY,"

FEET TO DEATH WHEN
AIRSHlP DROPS.
SCRAMBLE FOR SOUVENIRS
Transcontinentai Airman Drops Into
Ocean at Long Beach, Cal.-Was
the First to Cross the Country In
an AeropIane.

Los Angeles, Cal.-The only man
who ever flew across the American
continent Calbraith Perry Rodgers,
was killed here when his biplane fell
$50 feet into the breakers at Long
Beach
Rodgers fell from his seat in the
machine and his body shot downward
ahead Of the biplane, striking in the
shallow surf. His neck was broken,
and he died instantly.
With several thousand people
watching him, he ascended for an ex-
hibition flight. taking off at the edge
of the beach. Rising about $50 feet,
the machine suddenly tilted at per-
ilous angle, and the spectators re2-
lized that something was wrong.
Rodgers managed to right the aero
plane and again began to climb In a
long spiral. When he was about 400
feet in the air the machine suddenly
dipped sharply and plunged like a
plummet earthward.
An instant after Rodgers struck the
shallow water the machine crashed
into the surf and was reduced to a
mass of splintered wreckage and tan
gled wire, so that the exact cause Of
the accident may never be known, al
though it is believed that one Of the
wire guys broke as he was rising in
the air.
Thus ended the career of one of the
most brilliant, daring and resourceful
airmen of the age.
