SECOND SECTION
FILIPINOS MAKING
A BAD RECORD

wAILUKU, March 81. weekly
Times. The Filiplnos are making a
record for themselves along the line
of petty thieving. There is not a
week but one or more of them in and
around Waikiki are arrested for steal
ing something, mere trihes mostly,
from Chinese stores
Last Friday, about o'clock in the
morning, All Leong, who keeps a store
in Waikapu, had to leave it for a short
time and going of carefully locked the
door. During his absence a Filipino
appeared on the scene, broke a panel
in the side door and entered the store.
once inside he selected about 10
good cigars, 10 cents in money and a
flash light. Making a hasty retreat
he repaired to the camp with his
booty, which he generously divided
with a friend, telling him all about
his little expedition, and giving him
to understand that mum was the
word
In "a little while Deputy Sheriff
Ferreira came on the scene and took
both men in charge, after which fol-
lowed a full, detailed account of the
burglary. Pedro will go before the
jury on a charge of burglary in the
second degree, and his friend, the re-
ceiver of stolen goods, was taken be-
fore the district court and on his
plea of guilty was given months in
jail and fine of $1,000
Hawaii may, in some distant future,
succeed in the reconstruction and re-
demption of these little brown men,
make good citizens out of them. So
far it seems long way off, and
those now living may never see it.
They steal from strangers and from
each other 1t is common thing for

sight in the way of money and
clothes, and gone on his way re-
joicing. AS rule his Joy is short,

term of the circuit court.
Last Saturday night Police Officer
Joe Souza and camp boss Jutare went
into the Iatter's camp for the purpose
of bringing to a close a very noisy
, gathering of Japs, known as Okina-
, was. There were about a hundred
: or more of them at a grand feast, and
they were having a high time, revel
ing in big spread of their national
dainties, when the policeman and
camp boss stepped in and demanded
} that festivities cease in order to al
low the rest of the camp to sleep
The host and guests refused in a Ian
, guage that was readily understood
free fight followed, in which tables
were overturned, delicacies dumped
on the ground and Souza and Jutare
: rather badly used up, so badly in
! fact, that Souza is now in the Pals
Hospital and Jutare wearing severa
ugly cuts about the head. The camT
! boss must have been an unwelcomt
guest at the feast in the camp ovel
which he has long held undisputet
3 sway.
