There were five, but one jumped owe

got away yesterday The man who es

are +. Gross, James Taring, ID. John
son and +. Lookhart.
But that is not the story. 1t is JUS
the introduction. Here is the "why'
of il all:
Probation Officer J. Christian Ander
son, accompanied by John MarcallinC
and Archibald X. Aona, his assistants
drove down to a notorious section Of
the city Monday night on a hunt fol
boys and girls reported to be breaking
the curfew law and hanging arount
disreputable places.
Machine Left In Dark Place
Mitchell, Anderson 3 chauffeur, wa,
left in charge of the Anderson auto
mobile, which was seereted in a darl
corner of the compound. Marcallint
left his machine under the bright ray
of an are light:
While attempting to ferret out thu
alleged Juvenile delinquents the party
was hailed by Mitchell, who seemoC
greatly excited.
"oh, Mr.. Anderson, plenty pilikia,'
cried the excited chauffeur, "your ma
chine has run away and can 7 find it. ;
Ferreting out Juvenile delinquents wa
forgotten-or postponed. Anderson anC
his aids began an investigation. They
learned that a party of enlisted mer
had been seen around the machine.
MarcaIlino Has An idea
"Come on, boys" said Marcallino
"I've got it. Get into my car"
They did so and drove to the police
station where they got an officer anc
two provost guards. Packed like sar
dimes, the company took the road t.
Schofeld Barracks. At two O'Clock
Tuesday morning they espied machine
coming toward them, in the Kipapi
gulch, from the Leilehua end of the
rred.
taJThere him, see," called out thu
officer, drawing his revolver and firing
four shots into the air as the Other
machine went by like lightning, head
ed toward Honolulu. Then there wa
long chase in which speed rcgula
tions were diregarded.
Finally, the Anderson car was driver
for declivity on the side of the roac
and into a neighboring pineapple field
Three or four men jumped out of tho
machine and disappeared into some
shrubbery. One, however, was captured
at the point of revolver in the off
GERS hand.
Lone Man SurrenderS
"Don t shoot, Mr.. Officer" the mar
called out, throwing up his hands. He
was handcuffed and put into one of the
machines. Anderson s car had not beer
damaged and the party divided anC
returned to the city in the two auto
mobiles.
In Anderson s car four automatic re
volvers were found. The previous oc
cupants had been in too big a hurry
in getting away to think of them. Thi'
oversight led to their arrest, Anderson
SAYS, for the numbers of the revolver
gave the clcw to their identity. Tit
men were then arrested. They wer'
the party, one of which, escaped yes
terday.
1t was understood yesterday that thu
four men now in Jail will be turned
over to tho military authorities to b'
dealt with The man who got ava,
yesterday, if captured, will have al
additional charge preferred against him
Much secrecy was maintained unit
the story came out little by little yes
terday.
81 wanted the story kept out Of TIT
papers because | am always much AYERS
to seem, my name in print, was An
derson IS explanation yesterday.
