YOUR MAJESTY
REQUESTED TO

Addressing Governor Frear as
.sHonourable President and "Your
Majesty, Mrs. Cerelina Ababao
Hughes, evidently a Filipino or Span
ish woman. has written a pathetic
letter from Batangas, P. l., asking
that the territorial executive send
back to her the clothes of her hus-
band, James Hughes, who she be-
lieves died at Pearl City last March.
The 'epistle has been handed to
Attorney General Thayer, who is en-
deavoring today to ascertain the
facts in the case. The writer saws
that her husband left her with two
children, 10 and s, years old, who are
crying for the pater and asking that,
II he is dead, they be allowed to see
his clothes that they may remember
him.
The city directory gives the names
of several men as James Hughes, but
there is only one that would seem to
fit the description. In the 1912 direc-
tory is recorded the name of James
Hughes. laborer in the U. s. quarter

not repeated in the new directory,
however. II this is found to be the
person sought an effort viii be made

Waits Upon Mayor to Report

Madame Pnahi walked resignedly

morning with ten dollars in her
purse with which to buy license to
permit her hula hulas dances to be
given 8 her home by Kapiolani park.

Jarrett h:-d assured her at the time
he ordered her to close her place
that she could resume the hula hula
business soon. he had apparently
changed his mind. and advised her to
get q license.
He say the pissionaries don't

The woman waited long for his
honor to put in an appearance, but
unsuccessfully She finally left for
her home saying that she would re-

Though the mayor does not at this
time issue dance licenses an ordin-

TRIP OF 18th
! IS MARRIED by
YESTERDAY

The treacherOus currents Of Kawai
lea bay, a. trifle over q mile north OF
WaiIua. claimed a human life Sun
day morning, when Pvt. Elgey. / Co.,
25th infantry, was drowned before his
friends and comrades on the shore
and in the water could go to his as
sistance. s,s..
The 25th infartfs conbieted d prae-
tice march around the island this
morning. and up to yesterday there
had not been an accident or an in
cident to mar the trip. Saturday
night the regiment camped at the In
dustrial school, and making an early
morning start, arrived at it's next
camping place shortly after 8 a. m. As
soon as shelter tents were pitched,
the men were given permission to go
swimming, and most of them lost no
time in cooling off in the ocean.
At Kawailoa-which, freely trans
lated, means the great water there
is well developed reef over which
the rollers boom at all times. There
is also cross current. in which swim
ming is extremely difficult Although
there were a number Of men nearby,
Il was some minutes before Elgey's
plight was noticed, and when discov-
cred he was helpless and at the mercy
of waves and current. He was
brought to shore by several compan-
ions, and for two hours Captain
Mount, of the medical corps. worked
to resuscitate him. All efforts prov
ed useless. and 1t Is believed that the
soldier was past help before he was
discovered.
The 25th broke camp at O'Clock
this morning, and reached Schofield
well before noon.

Tracing his peculations back for

have discovered an amazing series of
petty irregularities in the work of
George w. Smith, clerk in the reg

Iembezzlement.
Smith was, arrested August 90 by
United States Marshal Hendry on

The work of the postal officials, to-

revealed long-continued juggling on
the part of Smith, it was stated to-
day. Gpd though he had succeeded in
getting away with only about $3.50,
he had been operating on a system

doubt as to the constructions of the
Pearl Harbor drydock ON its present

by those familiar with the subject

Sanchez Agrees to Return to

Carlos Roberto Sanchez, the young
man of mysterious nationality who is
wanted at Shanghai, China, on a
charge of stealing several thousand
dollars has consented to return with
out the exercise of the extradition.
Withdrawal of his petition for q writ
of habeas corpus was filed in the SUI
preme court this morning by his coun-
sci, Judge A. s. Humphreys, and the
prisoner and his young bride will
leave on the China next Thursday for
the Orient .
Sanchez will be escorted by Chief
of Detectives MeDuffie, who formally
will hand the young man over to the
Shanghai authorities on the ships ar
rival at that port.
This sudden. turn Of affairs in the
episode of the bride and groom who
came to Honolulu from the Orient two
weeks ago is the elimination OF a
stormy interview in the Office of At
tcrney General Thayer this morning.
Present at the seance were the attor-
ney general, Judge Humphreys, Nc
Duffie and Sanchez. The discussion
lasted for an hour or more, with
echoes of frequently recurring vocal
explosions reaching out to the corri-
dor of the capitol building, where Mrs.
Sanchez, the anxious bride paced to
and fro. From the sounds of the
wordy Combat it was gathered that
