Former Honolulu Portuguese
Passes Bad Checks in San
Diego Under His Name

Joe Fern, Jr., son of the former
mayor of Honolulu, who was one of
the best musicians and entertainers
In the Hawaiian Village at the San
Diego exposition last year, had a
thrilling experience shortly before he
left the California city for home and,
according to his fellow musicians, it
is one that he will not forget for some
time to come.
Late last year, the story goes, a
young Portuguese said to be well
known in Honolulu, and whose first
name also was Joe, arrived at San
Diego. One evening shortly after his
arrival he made the rounds of mum.
Der of rooming and apartment houses
Representing himself to be Joe Fern,
son of Honolulu's mayor, and naming
the Hawaiian Village as his address,
he rented during the evening dozen
or more apartments.
By the use of bogus checks, it is
reported that the Portuguese obtained
that night about $500. II the rent OF
one apartment was $50 a month, he
would present a previously written
check for $50 or $50 and receive the
change from the proprietor.

icemen went to the Hawaiian Village

MIR. HENPECK'S
RETURN DRAWS
We'll AT BlJOU

Theatergoers have heard much
about the Return of Peter Grimm .
made famous by David Warfield. Last
evening the Bijou first-nighters we're
aware of the return of "Mr. Henpeck,"
featuring Fritz Fields. This bill,
which had the S. r. o. sign sticking
out at the entrance the first time that
It was presented here by the Raymond
Teal Company, was a scream, and
Fritz Fields, in his character work as
a henpecked husband, had them hang
ing on to the seats.
This character gives him an oppor-
tunity to display his talents as an old
chap with heart for the CLASSY"
danes, and Fields played the part
without OVERRIDING it, something that
is not always sen in the delineation
Of this type Of character.
Corinne Carkeek was an excellent
foil for the comedian and her caustic
remarks and upstate airs made her a
favorite with the audience.
The musical hit of the evening was
Just Bit of Heaven" a song of Old
Erin by Madeline Rowe. This is with
out doubt the biggest song hit of the
present engagement
Edward Marshall, who has sketched
his way around the world and back,
was a big card with his lightning
chalk drawings before the audience.
He made number of sketches of
well-known local citizens including
Sonny Cunha, Hans Kohler, Charles
D. Wright and others. His feature
sketch of the evening was of an Am.
erican Indian.

INTERPRETATION
OF ISSUES Will
DELAY BIG CASE

ALI of the issues in the suit brought
by Delegate Kuhio to break the trust in
which Queen Liliuokalani's property is
held, including the one bearing on
the mental competency of the queen
to dismiss the action, will be merged
and heard in one trial, according to a
decision which has been reached by
Circuit Judge Stuart.
In a hearing before Judge Stuart
yesterday, Attorney Antonio Perry,
counsel for Liliuokalani, urged the
point that the question of whether the
queen is mentally incompetent to pro.
tect her interests should be tried first.
1t was his contention that, should the
queen be proved mentally competent
and sane, she would then have the
right to dismiss the snit, as she has
already moved to do
:. No definite date was. set for the be-
ginning of the trial. ~

Germany holds that its orders to

Both the Lokal Anzeiger and the

John Swierz, a German working with
Charles Dewoody, who he didn' know was
government secret service officer,
reached the point where he buried %
pounds OF dynamite near the entrance of
the plant.
His arrest and the exposure of the
plot resulted from a tip which Ernest
Ludwig, Austro-Hungarian vice-consul
here, gave to the secret service depart
ment.
| Dewoody, who was arrested with Swierz
last night, is investigating further III an
/ effort to determine whether Swierz had
| intended to obtain assistance in carrying
out the plot
According to Dewoody, Swierz wrote to
| Ludwig several days ago offering to de
stroy the Tod munitions works for $4,000
Ludwig notified the federal officers and
! Dewoody was present when Swierz called
to make the arrangement for carrying out
the plot. Dewoody, in the guise of a Ger
man sympathizer, was asked by Swlerz L
aid in the project. He says Swierz hough
% pounds of dynamite and with the assis
lance of DewoOdy secreted it near the Toe
plant

Drops From 100 to 80.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, May II. -
Cupid s inroads on the membership of
the Albemarle club, bachelor organ
ization, has resulted in the club dis
banding.
An announcement was made that
because so many members have been
married the membership has decreased
from 100 to only thirty. The club was
organized in 1897 with thirteen chart
er members, and one of the first rules
was that a member on being married
must resign.
At first there We're few designations
and the membership grew rapidly, but
recently the members one by one have
succumbed to Cupid s darts and only
few remain.
