STOLEN BY TRUCKMEN

NEW YORK, April 1.-two mil
lion dollars worth of silk and woolens
were stolen from trucks during the
last year and sold through a string of
fences" in many cities. This state
ment was made by Louis j. Sherman,
formerly known throughout the coun-
try as a reputable dress goods broker,
today and sent the police on a search
for the other principals in one of the
Most remarkable series of robberies
ever brought to their notice.
Sherman pleaded guilty of receiving
two cases of stolen dress goods, valued
at S525, and is now awaiting sentence.
Until ne made his confession the
police had little conception of the ex-
tent of the conspiracy in which he
says he was involved.
With the cooperation of so truck
drivers, Systematically stealing goods
from various manufacturers, Sherman
said he had built up business OF
$1,000 day, with a daily profit of
$500. He had large suite of offices
and employed many clerks ard stem

was to send the stolen goods out of

&c COMMANDMENTS" FOR
LAWYERS BY MARSHALL
tBy Latest Mail)

WASHINGTON-In his speech at
the first annual dinner of the George
Washington University Law School,
Vice President Marshall laid down
rules for the moral and professional
guidance of the young lawyer-legal
ten commandments. Here they are in
a condensed paraphrase:
Don't put fee before just cause.
Don't worship money to the extent
of being willing to write a dishonest
contract in order to get a large fee.
Be peacemaker; that is the law
yers business.
Don't chase ambulance5.
Honor your profession as your own
sacred honor; therefore, do not seek
or confound litigation.
Don't accept contingent fees.
Use your influence against the sys-
tenn of allowing attorneys fees in ad-
vance of divorce cases. Therein lies
the evil of the. divorce laws; when
that has been abolished half the di-
vorce cases will be stopped.
Use your influence to compel per-
son charged with crime to testify in
the cause; the innocent man cannot
he harmed thereby.
Take the part of the known Grim
inal, but only to see that Justice is
tempered with mercy.
Don't inquire as to your clients
pccketbock before fixing your fee.

PAHIA CLAIMS
HE Is Held ON
A TECHNICALLY

John Pahia, former postmaster at
Hecia was arrested by u. S. Marshal
Hendry on warrant accusing him Of
failure to make final returns of the
receipts of his office, amounting to
$56 on April / 7last Pahia was later
released en- his personal recognizance,
TO appear before the U. S. commits
sioner for hearing next Wednesday.
Pahia's case is a peculiar one, ac-
cording to his explanation, and his
friends declare he is guilty of no evil
intent in the affair. On giving up the
office at Heeia, Pahia says, he handed
the receipts to his sister there, asking
her to deposit them at the head
quarters in Honolulu and get the re-
ceipt Instead of delivering the money
himself, Pahia set out in search of
other work, journeying to another
part Of the island.
The money was to have been turn
cd in April IL Returning home some
days after that date Pahia discovered
his sister had forgotten to attend to
the errand and still held the money.
He Immediately brought il to Homo
lulu and handed it over to the postal
authorities. But, he alleges, because
he did not appear on the date set, the
charge which he now faces has been
brought-a violation of the federal
postoffice regulationse.

as could be learned, they say, there
have been no causes for friction, as
the work has bsen progressing this
year with a success never before ex-
perienced One of the three who ten
dered designations is said to have
been contemplating resigning for some
time past.
Bowen, Miss Moody and Dana have
been working together for some time
on number of features which have
proved a benefit to the settlement in
several ways, two of these being the
weekly shop and the Saturday night
moving picture show. Bowen recently
rented his home in Manoa Valley and
erected house at the settlement,
where he now lives, in order that he
might be more in touch with his work.
Fred Dana, said to be .he scion of a
wealthy family in New York City,
came here two years ago on his way
around the world, became interested
in the work of the settlement and vol
unteered his services, which we're ac-
cepted Miss. Moody was graduated
last June from Smith College, and has
been with the Settlement since that
time. The report given out yesterday
to the effect that Superintendent
Chamberlain of the Kalihi Settlement
had also resigned his position, has
proved incorrect. The KalihiS and the
Palama Settlements are entirely sepa-
rate institutions. although they wort
along practically the same lines.
When the first announcement of the
designations of the three workers was
given out yesterday, rumors as to the
cause were in evidence on all sides,
none of which are bels.ved to be au-
thentic The refusal of Bowen and
Rath to state the direct cause only
serves to make the matter more COM
plicated, but from their statements
this morning it is evident that the
source of the matter may be traced
to some friction. 1t is understood that
the three workers who have resigned
will continue their social and settle
ment work in connection with some
other local institution

The board will continue and ampfi.
fy the tests of bottom conditions that
we're made last month when Rear
Admiral Stanford, chief of the bureau
of yards and docks. was here to in
xestigate the drydock disaster. The
findings are of the utmost import
ance to the government and to the
contractors. for if the board determ-
ines that there is nothing TO prevent
the construction of the drydock ac-
.cordfng to the original specifications,
the assumption will be that the gov
eminent was in no way responsible
for the accident of February II, and
the loss will fall heavily upon the
contractors. If, on the other hand, it
is shown that the bottow will not
stand the weight of the basin, and
thai some new method of construc-
ton must be devised, then the con-
tractors will fare far better financial.
ly Oh the REIMBURSEMENT.
1t is believed that the board,
working in conjunction with the con-
tractors, will be able to get better
specimens of the bottom by the use
of a new boring machine, which was
recently sent to Pearl Harbor. The
contractors claimed that with the old
boring machine, which was of small
diameter, and which was forced down
inside the drill casing, the samples
brought to the surface we're. not in
the same conditions as when cut
from the bottom The old machine.
it is claimed, compressed the speci-
men in taking it, so that the samples
eff bottom material showed better
than they really were.
Just before Admiral Stanford left
he recommended the use of an i'm
proved type of boring machine, and
by fortunate coincidence it was
found that a machine of this type,
which had been used in some of the
early tests. was stored at the local
naval station. 1t was put on the tug
Navajo last Monday, set UP at the
drydock site, and is now in opera
ton.
