Officers Wife In Catch Of
The Drag Net

Arrests may or may not have been
made in the assault case Of which Mrs
Palmer, wife Of California army Off
ecr, was the victim Sunday night. This
ambiguous statement was ali that was
offered by the police yesterday, but
Two men are at present held for inves.
tigation at the police station who are
believed to be suspects, although the
sheriff will not definitely admit It.
Just what evidence there is against

bors, spent yesterday in going over the
~"urdS with officers from the detec-
tive department. Mrs. Palmer was also
4uestlUned, out was unable to add
anything TO her story which was Of use
n identifying the criminal.
All the servants Of the houses in
he vicinity were closely examined, but
neither they nor others living there had
seen any suspicious characters in the
neighborhood that evening. In short,
the situation seemed as barren Of clues
as il was on the night Of the assault.
There are a number Of men under
Investigation at the police station, in.
Gliding Filipinos, Chinese, Hawaiians
and whites, but the police would not
state which of these were connected
with the Palmer case.

.HOOGS ARRESTED
IN CALIFORNIA
ts
Will Return Shortly To Face
Charge of EmbezzIing $1,000
From Local Bank


Frank l.. Hogs, indicted on Monday
by the territorial gral>l jury on a
'harge OF eRIbezzlement, was arrested
n Napa, California, by detectives yes.
.erday ON Instructions cabled from
Honolulu. II is not believed that
hoogs win fight extfadition and il is
expected that he will return to Homo
lulu voluntarily to face the grave
charge against him. 1t is possible that
he will leave in the Matsonia from San
francisco today, in which case he will
arrive here next Tuesday morning,
otherwise he will arrive in the LurIine
a week later.
Upon receipt of the news that Hoogs
had been placed under arrest and in
custody Of the Napa police, the indict-
nent was taken from the secret file in
Judge Ashford s court yesterday and
placed on the open Gle to await the
lefendant's arrival, when he will be ar
aligned and required to plead.
Specific offense Charged
The indictment charges that Hoogs,
on February Is last, embezzled the
sum of $1,000, lawful coin of the United
States, claimed to be the property Of
the Bank of Hawaii. Hoogs was a
teller in this bank and it is charged
that his accounts became involved to
the extent of about $1O,OOO, although
rhis does not appear in the wording Of
the charge. The bank officials placed
detectives on the case and Hoogs is
said to have confessed and was allowed
TO make good, as far as he was able
20, the amount of his shortage. He
then left for San francisco.
Several weeks after this the terri
torial grand jury Investigated the
rharge and returned no true bin. The
grand jury was then given special
charge by Judge Ashford, as a result Of
which another investigation was held
and az true bill returned Monday
against HOogs. ~

main Lines Affected
The following principal steamship
lines operating to the Orient and call
ing at Honolulu for bunkers will be af-
fected:
Nippon Yusen Kaisha, japanese
monthly service from New York via
Honolulu to the Orient.
ElIerman Bucknell lines, British
tri-weekly service from New York via
Honolulu to Vladivoatok.
Prince Line, British, five weeks ser

Far East Via Honolulu, usually in DO h
directions.
A Joint service of the American and
Oriental Line, Barber Line, Shewan,
Tones Co., and Indra Line every ten
lays from New York to Vladivostok.
These are British ships.
Shell Line, Anglo Saxon company,
has oil tank steamers here about every
zen days from New York for the
orient. This is British line.
Diverted To Suez
lnasmurh as all ships coming here
from the Canal are bound to Oriental
ports, the diversion will be probably
uniformly to the Suez Canal. There is
little to choose between Suez and Pan
ANA from New York to China and
Japan. Taking Hongkong as an
example, it is ! ,59S miles from New
rork VIA Panama and Honolulu and
1881 miles from New York via Gibral-
tar, Suez, Colombo and Singapore. The
VladiN ostOk ships will have to sail
about 250O miles further, however, in
Dasstng through the Suez, and, as it is
o VladivOS;Ok that most of the ships
