with ecstasy, while Grace herself

Grace's hand grew tense on Gregory's
arm-"Look!"
Her whisper was lost in the wind.
but Gregory, following her frightened
glance. saw Robert Clinton elbowing
his way through the crowd. forcing
his progress bluntly, or jovially. ac-
cording to the nature of obstruction.
He did not see them and, by lodging.
they escaped.
The nearness OF danger had paled
Grace's cheeks. Gregory accepted his
own trembling as natural. but Grace's
evident fear acted upon his nebulous
state of mind in way to condense
jumbled emotions and deceptive long
ings into something like real thought.
II they were in the right, why did
they feel such expansive relief when
the crowd swept them from the side
walk to bear them far away from
Robert Clinton?
The merry go-round, its very music
travelling in circle. clashed Its stem

distinct strata of sound were cut
across by an outcropping Of graphic
phones and megaphones. Always out
of sympathy with such displays, but
now more than ever repelled by them.
Grace and Gregory hurried away to
find themselves penned in a court
surrounded on all sides by strident
cries OF "barkers." cracking reports
from target-practice. fusillades at the
"doli-babies," changing Jars from
strength-testers and the like; while

1t was because every side-show Of
the carnival company had insisted on
occupying space around the court
house. and because this space was
meager. that the country folk and ex

That a yeritable reign Of terror"
:: /, in existence i'm several sections OF
Honolulu, principally in the Punchbowl
district, due to the operations of gangs
of men and, boys, and in many cases
individual highwaymen, which infest
the districts under cover of darkness,
and whose actions time and again have
been reported to the police with abso-
lutely no response from the depart
ment, is the report which has come
to the Star-Bulletin today.
The Star-Bulletin has secured this
information from one purporting to
know the facts.
That the police of Honolulu have
paid absolutely no attention to the
repeated and persistent reports of pet
ty thefts and attempted hold-ups, is
the statement which has been made to
this paper 1t is further intimated
that the peaceful residents of Punch
bowl and other districts have gotten
SO used to making these reports and
having them receive no attention at
the hands of the police, that they late
~ have taken to letting the crimes
go virtually unnoticed.
A statement comes from good au-
thority that on many occasions young
girls have been stopped while on their
way home after dark by individuals
evidently bent upon robbery or worse.
1t is also said that hands composed Of
three or four persons have taken to
stopping men at night. -.
| An instance in the former allega-
ton is brought ont in the case of
young Russian-f'rench girl who lives
near the federal experiment station.
While nearing her home Wednesday
evening, after coming from Waikiki
where she is employed in a private
family, she was met by a man whom
she believes was Filipino. The girl
says that the man stopped her and
asked If she knew where a certain
Japanese family lived. The girl di-
rected the man to another road, and
told him to go up that way and in.
quire. '-~. H.. -.
The girl says that she walked away
from the man and that he followed
her, repeating his question. When he
had addressed her for the fourth time,
she says, he grabbed hold Of her. She
tore away from him and started to
run, the man following her. While
running, the girl stumbled and fell,
painfully bruising and cutting herself.
The man followed after her, she says,
and she commenced to scream. Evil

would attract attention, and bring her
assistance, the man ran off down the
road. -
