opened the door of the cage, passed
out and let it slide to behind him.
Stevens watched him with a rather
grim smile as he disappeared.
The bank was closed to the public.
Stevens remained alone in the tellar's
cage. One by one the clerks and as
sistants went out. Presently nobody
was left in the bank except the
Waterman, Wrigley, the cashier, and
himself. Then Stevens hastily trans
ferred five packages of ten hundred
dollar bills apiece to his coat pocket,
finished his work and took the
money to the safe.
Wrigley joined him. Stevens pre-
tense of counting it was not elabor-
ate. Wrigley had taken OF his
glasses and was thinking of his home.
Presently the safe door slammed and,
with a courteous goodbye" Stevens
found himself in the street.
He jumped aboard a car and de-
sended half mile away, at the fur
nished room house in which his new
home was to be. He had already
transferred his baggage to the rail-
road station by cab, and had had it
expressed thence few days later.
He had left no clue behind him.
That evening for the first time in
months he had dinner at a restau-
rant. He smoked cigar, strolled
about town and finally went home
and to bed. Not until next morning
did he open the packages of bills.
When he did so he saw to his hor-
ror that they were yalueless. Every
one except the top bill in each pack
age was a Confederate greenback.
Instead of the five thousand dollars
which he had imagined was in his
possession he had just five hundred
barely enough to pay the doctors
expenses.
Stevens was paralyzed with dis
NAV. His cOuD was useless. and he

glances of Waterbury,
A wave of disgust and utter self
contempt passed over Stevens. Fate
had dealt him the worst, because the
most unexpected, blow. Well, he
would go back on the following
morning; he could somehow contrive
to replace the money; at the worst
suspicion need not fall upon him,
and when the money was found the
matter would cease to be of pressing
interest.
Stevens spent a miserable night.
Remorse, disgust, self-loathing, and a
vast pity for his helplessness to make
Mary's life happy struggled within
him When at last he reached the
bank it was to find the officers gath
cred together in groups, eagerly dis
cussing something.

inquired Wrigley. @

''Waterbury's dead"
The room seemed to swim round
Stevens. He heard the old mans
voice continuing, as if far away.
Eyes, he was killed in the wreck
on the Southern & Eastern this morn
ing. He was then four hundred
miles away from New York, and
his clothes were stuffed with bills ag-
gregatihg twelve thousand dollars.

BANANA
CLAIMS PROBE

Four witnesses, all pewSpapermen,
were before the house judiciary COM
mittee yesterday afternoon when that
body began the Kalakiela inyestiga-
ton. The queries put to them were
only of a preliminary nature, touch
ing on the identity of persons who are
said to have direct knowledge OF the
accused representatives work in con-
nection with the banana claims. A
number of names of such pc rsons were
given to the committee and these are
being summoned to appear and tell
their stories. 80 ....s
Chairman Sheldon announced an
other meeting would be held in the at
torney generals office this afternoon
at $3.50 O'Clock, but it is possible this
may be postponed because of the legls-
lators' junket to the College of Hawaii
today Among those ordered to APP
pear today are Riley H.. Allen, editor
of the Star-Bulletin, and Dan Logan
of the staff of this paper.
Chairman Sheldon, with Represent
atives Coney and Poepoe, comprised
the membership of the judiciary COM
mittee present at yesterdays session
Kalakiela, with his legal counsel, c.
w. Ashford, was permitted to listen to
the charges made by Editor R. o. Ma
theson, of the Advertiser, who sat
facing Kalakiela directly across the
table.In the absence of the committee
regular clerk, Noah w. Aluli acted in
that capacity yesterday, and NJ, Lono
Heen took down the proceedings in
shorthand, to incorporate in the full
report later. "."
The chairman stated that the inves-
tigation will be prosecuted as rapidly
as possible, with view to its early
completion and report to the house
He stated that in the present hearing
the committee is acting in capacity
similar to district court; the accused
will be given an opportunity to reply
to all charges there, and then if the
verdict of the committee is against
him, he will have another opportunity
to defend his cause on the floor of the
house. .'-

PEOPLE MUST .
RULE slogan
OF MASSMEETING

The arrangements for the mass
meeting which is TO be he'd at Aala
Park on the evening of March 18th.
at which time the plans for securing
for Honolulu a modern form of city
government, are making rapid head
way, and the committee which was
appointed by the Palama Improvement
Club to have charge of the affair is
now busying itself with selecting the
speakers for the evening.
Adopting the slogan The People
Must Rule" the committee has taken
the first step towards centralizing the
powers of the government of the city
of Honolulu. 1t is felt that nothing
can be accomplished to better the
present local conditions unless some
thing is done to change the present
form of city government, and, to quote
from one of the members of the COM
mittee this change cannot be
brought about unless the people favor
it." In order that the people be in
formed as to what they are voting for.
and in order to present the plans of
the people, it was found that the best
way in which this could be accomp-
lished would be throueh-the medium
of a public mass meeting.
AS the plans now stand, the present
legislature will be asked to provide
for the holding of a special election
by the people of the City and County
of Honolulu for the purpose of elect
ing committee of fifteen freeholders
to draw up a charter along modern
zines for the city This charter will
then be submitted to the people, at an
election, for their approval In case
the charter is not approved, it will
be the duty OF the said committee to
continue to draw up charters until
one is made which meets with the APP
proval of the people.
Another plan is that which calls
for petition to the legislature to
give over to the city of
Honolulu the control of it's own
streets, waterworks, and the privilege
of issuing its own municipal bonds
for improvements.
The meeting on the evening of the
twelfth will commence at seven
O'Clock, with George r. Carter in the
chair. There will be several speeches
and the Hawaiian Band will be in at
tendance from seven until eight
O'Clock.

ANTI-SUFFRAGE PARTY IS ACTIVE
in OPPOSING VOTES FOR women

II is self evident that woman's SUI.
. frage is gaining a firm foothold in
the United States and while many
women are struggling for the votes
and are parading the streets. waving
banners and very nearly becoming
militant. there is another class that
holds anti-tuffrage meetings. One of
the most active of these women Is
Miss Minnie Bronson Of Philadelphia
At a recent meeting Of this orgsniza-
tion Miss Bronson delivered IN ad-
dress that brought many converts to
The anti-suffrage party. In her adj
dress she said: There are no women
truer to their sex, mona who believe
more earnestly in the ability of the
women of this country to mold its des-
tiny and to conserve its strength than
the anti-suffragists.
In giving one of her reasons for BE-
ing of the anti-suffragist party she
said that she believed that the ma
iority of women of the Uni'ed States
knew what they wanted and knew bet
ter how to get this and how to carry
on the work that they have to do. than
the per cent who are clamoring for
the ballot. She said that this small
percentage of women readily acknowl-
edge that they are helpless TO mold
public opinion and to do the work
that has been given them unless they
forsake woman's work and ADOPT the
work of the men. Thew want to leave
the home and go ont into the world
to work: MANY of them wish to hold
public offices. They acknowledge that
man is superior to woman and that
woman can only be made his equal
when she is given the vote and is Al
lowed to compete with him in every
way.
Miss Pronson quoted Hannah Moore,
who was one of the pioneer women
who worked for equal rights. She
said: Woman should re trained to
cooperate with man and not become
his rival. or to struggle for his pow
er." Miss Bronson conveyed the idea
that she believes this tn be III
point of view, but she denounced the
idea of trying to become mans. equal,
for she believes that woman has a
great work to accomplish as man
has. She said: eve believe in our
