with whom Walls was known to have
been friendly, and who had a part in
the activities of the faro gang. This
woman's correspondence was watched,
and it was soon discovered that she
was sending letters to and receiving
letters from a man in Detroit, Mich.
Tracings Of the mans handwriting
were made as the letters came through
the post office, and when compared
with that of Walls, the resemblance
was convincing.
The writer of these letters gave his
address as lock box. A special agent
went to Detroit, but the box had been
given up. Two months later more let
tiers came to the same woman from
Grand Junction, Colo, and also from
lock box. The postmaster was able
to describe the man holding the box
and the description suited Walls. But
he moved again before detective got
there to identify and arrest him
There was a chase Of six months on
such clues, always through the same
woman, but Walls was still at large
death notices in New York the name
of Edward T. Walls. Subsequently
Mrs. Walls went from her boarding
house in Boston and took charge Of
the body. Suspecting that this might
be a trick to throw them off their
guard, the special agents took every
precaution to identify the body. Event
ually they were convinced that the
man they had pursued so diligently
was dead. The case was closed.
The three principals in this case,
Tollman, Kelliner and Mansfield,
were given Is, IS and 10 years re-
spectively. After their conviction
freely to Billy Gard Of the whole case
and threw some interesting sidelights
upon it. Kelliner told particularly Of
the inception Of the plans Of the faro
gang. He said it came into being at
Atlantic City where he and Mansfield
and Walls happened to be spending q
week end. Kelliner at that time al
ready had line on Tollman and 9TH
er possible victims were deemed
ready for the plucking.
With these prospective victims in
mind the faro gang was organized.
Money had to be raised for the fitting
up of the establishment in Twenty
eighth street, which was only used
when victims were in tow. This alone
cost $4,000. Then there was the nee
essary expense money Of the members
Of the gang while they were develop
ing their victim. There must be cash
in the bank to be won when those vic
tins made their first appearance. AL
together it was a business that had
to be capitalized for something like
$4,000 before it could begin opera
lions. But, as it afterwards turned
out, it was a profitable investment If
viewed from the standpoint Of Toll
man alone; and there were other vic
Tins.

Water
'MENAGE' BOMB
IS TOUCHED OFF
Oahu Loan Fund Commission
Gets Startling Reports From
y Governor Pinkhan

Nuuanu water is ''at present unfit
for human consumption, says the gov
ernor, backed by reports he had had
made.
1t is ''far from being fit for human
use"
II constitutes the greatest menace
to the health of Honolulu of any one
factor"
"As to the insanitary condition of
No. 4 reservoir there can be no
doubt"
Statements like these created irri-
tated surprise at the meeting of the
Oahu Loan Fund Commission today.
Like bombshell they exploded in the
midst OF quiet gathering and raised
storm of angry protest.
IF that Is so, why has the Board
of Health taken no action? Why has
it passed the buck to US? Why does
it permit the people of Honolulu to
continue to use water that is men-
ace to health, water that might breed
an epidemic of typhoid, cholera or any
one of number of other dread dis
eases?" demanded. Charles r. Forbes,
chairman of the commission. 'It isn't
proper. It isn't right. 1t isn't hui
man. If the people of Honolulu are
in danger they should be notified OF
it. Notice that the water should be
boiled, that it should be avoided,
should be given 1t should be shut
off, and shut off at once. Here these
reports have been in the hands OF the
Board of Health since February %
and they have been kept secret
Why?"
The statements were made in
number of reports on the condition of
the water in No. reservoir, filed by
Governor Pinkham as part of his re-
port on the Hillebrand Glen project.
They were procured by the Board OF
Health at his request from number
of sanitary engineers and water SUP
ply experts Unanimously the ex-
perts condemned the city's surface
water supply. Various measures that
would better It were suggested, but
all agreed in saying that the water
could never be made perfectly sani-
tary. H %4s..
BY motion of Commissioner Lester
Petrie the Board of Health was re
quested y make direct reply to the
communication of the commission re-
questing Recommendation as to the
steps necessary to make sanitary the
upper Nuuanu reservoir.
The governor in his report on four
grounds refused to indorse the pro-
ject for diverting water from Hille-
brand Glen to Reservoir No. so that
the city might have more water for
power purposes. He declares that the
dam at the reservoir is not safe, that
the reservoir is not In sanitary con.
dition and could net be made sani
tary, that there probably is not enough
water to be obtained from the glen
to make the project worth while, and
that altogether there were enough OBJ
ections to the scheme to cause him

Several years ago, when Father En-

Armstrong, it was predicted that be-
fore long Great Britain would deepen
the Fanning harbor and establish a
naval station there.
The islands lie 1000 miles south of
honolulu and have a romantic and
rather obscure history Father Rou-
gier is said to have acquired them
through winning the friendship of a
wealthy convict. He bought them at
q British high commissioners sale in
Suya and worked them as a copra es-
tate After they were sold to Arm
strong & Armstrong for $350.0o0. Rou-
gier bought Washington Island, not
far from the others. which he is reput-
ed still to own. The Commercial.Pa-
cific .Companyis cable station is at
Tanning. The British project Of an
Alfred route for its cable commu-
nication and chain of naval stations
came into public notice when Rougier,
who Is Frenchman, sold his holdings
to the syndicate. This syndicate now
