The Kaneohe murder and robbery,

killed the proprietor and his wife and
robbed the place of several hundred
dollars. =, H.. E III

keaWi KeaWekani Arrested
Faces Three Charges OF
Petty Larceny

! Acquitted OF two charges Of murder
! in the first degree for the killing Of
two children In Makiki valley early
in the year, Keawi Keawekani, a Ha
waiian man, today faces three charges
Of petty larceny for thetts which be
is alleged to have committed in the
early hours Of the morning.
! A bicycle belonging to the Hawaii
Meat Co. was taken from Nuuanu
street near Kukui early this morning
and at School and Fort streets some
canned goods we're taken out OF a
cafe in one Of the tenements in the
district, and some clothes taken off
the line. The stolen goods were re-
covered and Keawekani placed in the
custody of the police by the detective
force this morning.
Quick work following notification OF
the thefts led to an early arrest by
the detective force. Within IL hours
after the thefts had been committed
Sergeant of Detectives John R. Kellett
had obtained enough evidence against
the man to warrant the preference
of charges against him.
Keawekani was the central figure
Of the sensational murder case which
was before circuit court the early
part of the year. George and Kama
Kanoa, brothers, were found dead on
the floor of their parents home in
upper Makiki valley. The heads OF
both boys had been split open with
a Ratchet. Keawekani was indicted by
the territorial grand jury on charges
Of first degree murder, both trials re-
sulting in acquittals.

some valuable and new forms. he
hopes to continue his study here along
the same lines, possibly two years
from now.
~ found several new forms Of the
liverwort in nv study Of the plant
life in these places" said Prof. Camp
bell in telling of his work. and these
are either very close to or the same
as certain East Indian forms that
l know OF. This relation is what ]
will study when l arrive again at my
home"
There is a remarkable resemblance
and in some cases similarity in the
vegetation of the islands and that OF
the southern part Of the Asiatic con-
tinent," declared Prof. Campbell.
You have varieties Of plants here
that belong to that region which are
, not represented at all on the North
American continent.
The question lies in how they got
there. It does not seem as though
they were brought to this land by
birds, because there are no birds
here which migrate in any numbers
to that section Of the world. don't
believe that the plants were intro
duced by the natives who travelled be-
tween the countries. 1t looks very much
as though at some time in the history
Of the world the islands were connec-
ted with the Asiatic mainland.
Your kukui tree is found on the
Malay peninsula. AS q matter Of
fact, it got its name from that region,
and is a tree Of that place. The lau-
hala tree, the tree from which mats
are made, which looks something like
a pineapple sprout and the vine which
resembles it very much and IL found
on the trees In the forests, are both
old world forms.
Il owe much appreciation for the
attention which has made my work
possible to Prof. Rock, Mr.. Hardy on
Kauai; Mr.. Lyon, Mr.. Muir, and many
others who have enabled me to carry
on my study" said Prof. Campbell.
Prof. Campbell is professor Of bot
any at Stanford university. He re-
ceived the degree Of Pm. M. from
Michigan in 1882, the degree Of Ph.D.
in 1885, studied in Bonn, Tubingen,
and Berlin for two years, was profes.
sor Of botany at the University Of In
diana, and since then has been with
the Leland Stanford Jr. University.
He has written several books be-
sides.

Police ASSERT
Filipino NABBED
IS CLEVER Thief
Had Shrewd Method of FiIching
From Oriental Stores,
They Say

Following a long series OF thefts in
which at least five stores are known
to have been victims. Manaloto III
chael, a Filipino, believed to &c the
responsible party, has been captured
by the detective force. Michael will
be charged with gross cheat and lar
ceny in the second degree this after
noon by the police.
Clever methods were employed by
the thief to take money :way from
the stores which he made the objects
of his operations. according 70 Ser
geant OF Detectives John r. Kellett.
1t was the habit of the man to enter
a sore. preferably a dry GOODS store,
edge up alongside of the drawer in
which the money was kept and make
an order for something on the SLEEVES
high on the wall, he says.
Willie the storekeeper Tas engaged
in removing the article specified from
off a high shelf, the thief would open
the drawer and quietly remove FROM
1t all he desired. He would then ex'
plain that he had to go around the
corner for money. and leaving the
goods waiting for him. the police say.
But the man never returned and II
wah found in five cases that he had
taken the store funds with him. 1t
is said. Among stores made victims
were Pang See Choy's store on Rich
ard and Queen, Amoy's store on South
street, Hip On's sctore on Pauoa AID
Luso streets, and other stores in that
district.
On August rs, Kellett says. the
same man hired an automobile to go
to Schofield, but when he had ended
the ride he left the machine and re-
fused to pay.
He is being held in the jail at the
police station FOR trial.

Der as those of England, the vlscount
says.
Subjects discussed were many and
definite decisions were reached for the
control OF Germany's trade in various
lines. Every branch of the shipping
industry, manufacturing world and
marketing were considered he adds.
England Bent on Victory
1T was very evident at the confer,
ence that Great Britain is intent on
waging war until a victory is wrested
from Germany. No other peace will
be acceptable to her, and then she
plans to keep German trade confined

Of her Allies. With America as an
ally it may be possible to do this az

viscount
He expects that America will have
delegates present at the next confer
ence Of the international parliament
Of commerce which will be held in
June of next year.
A side light on the strain which
France has been bearing Is given by
Viscount Okochi when he states that
a former foreign minister of France
at the commercial conference de-
clared with almost despair that the
war would not end yet for 10 years.
Possible peace terms we're not dis
cussed at the conference, other than
in general reference to their needs to
force Germany to defeat, he remarked
as he began to speak of Americas
entry in the war.
America must help to hasten the
end Of the war. 1t is a duty she
owes to herself and the world. France
is greatly excited over the presence
Of American soldiers and wherever
they go in Paris or outside the city
they are greeted with a mingling of
happy tears, cheers and smiles
Everywhere the American flag is fly.
ing side by side with the tricolor,"
says Viscount Okochi who left Paris
only a month ago. He thinks we
have many more soldiers in France
than we realize.
OF the bravery of the British and
French troops the viscount speaks
with the greatest admiration. Never
have l seen more courageous soldiers,
although often they are outnumbered
by the Germans"
But he also admits that there Is
little indication Of Germany giving
ground, and that her troops are fight.
ing vigorously and stubbornly. But
the day will come when they will
realize the uselessness of fighting the
whole world" he thinks.
Viscount Okochi has been a mem.
Der of the house of peers for over
three years. Previous to that he was
attached to the staff of the Imperial
university at Toxic. He has passed
through Honolulu before and has a
number Of acquaintance here. b..
