FAKE RAID NETS
IS CASES BOOZE
BootIeggers Impersonate Officers and
Take Liquor Off Boat in
Harbor.

MONTESANO, March pa well
laid plan to impersonate officers of
the law and seize 35 cases of whiskey
as the contraband was being lowered
from a steamer into rowboat by
bootleggers came to light here when
an officer of the steamer complained
to the sheriff's office of the fake raid
The ships company was surprised
just as the booze was being lowered
into the boat and innocent members
Of the crew were lined up and their
quarters searched while the real cul-
prits were in hiding and no strenuous
effort was made to find them accord
ing to the officer.
One of the fake raiders gave the
orders to the rest of the gang in un.
mistakable tones and cursed when the
patrol wagon did not arrive in speedy
time after the liquor was seized.
Two automobiles appeared on the
scene while the leader was lamenting
the non-arrival of the patrol wagon
and one of the men in the machine
reported" that the "chief could not
send the wagon because it was called
to the west end Of town."
The leader ordered the liquor plac-
ed into the waiting automobile and as
soon as the load was abroad ordered
his two prisoners" men of his own
crew, into the machines and they were
driven away, while the crew of the
boat stood shivering in the rain.
Babe" Damitio, Otto Hugo, A.
Beamer, Peter Lund, Andrew Kirhaoff
and Harry Holt were arrested in Alb
erdeen last night in connection with
the raid. The last three named were
taken from the steamer Coronado on
which the fake raid occurred. Sew
eral of the men have confessed accord
ing to Chief of Police Schmidt.

THEFT OF GOLD
STILL MYSTERY
Especial st.r-BuD.,tn oO7espOpcsnes,

Especial Star BUD"ftn cor1espo1dsnce1
HILO, Hawaii, May 21.-There are
no new developments regarding the
mysterious robbery Of six thousand
dollars In gold from a registered mail
sack that left Hilo on March 80 fo-
Kohala. The money was consigned to
the Kohala branch OF the First Bank
Of Hilo and 1t was insured against all
kinds of loss.
That the robbery was committed
theory Of the men who are working
on the case The sack was placed Ill
the mail car at Mahukona and it is
declared to have been o. X. at that
time. Still, there are those who say
that they think the money may have
been distracted while the steamship
Mauna kea was making her way from
Hilo to Mahuk1 ma There are still
others who say that it disappeared in
some mysterious fashion after being
placed in the sack at the Hilo post
office and before the sack reached the
steamer.
That the money was stolen in the
Kohala district, however, seems to be
the more feasible theory. The post
office inspector is working along that
line and something may break at any
moment.
The robbery reminds people Of the
time, some years ago, when the pay
roll for Honokaa llantation was stolen
from a mail sack at Waimea. That
case caused much speculation, but 1t
was different from the present one, as
the mail sack had been slit to allow
the money being taken, whereas, in
the latest case, the paddock had been
either opened and closed again, or
else the original lock had been broken
open, thrown away and a duplicate
lock substituted.
The theory Of some people Is that
some mainland expert crook may have
got wind that the money was being
sent to the kohala bank and had then
laid his plans to either get the coiL
on the steamer or else while the sack
was on its way, per. automobile, to
Kohala from Mahukona. Whichever
way it was, the money is gone AMI
there seems but slim chance OF re-
covering it unless somebody "squeals.

7OMPROVEMEN
seen AT Meeting

Evidently Beretania street property
holders in the area between Alapai
and Punahou streets are well satisfied
with the city and county's specified
tions and charges for the new i'm
provement of thai stretch for few
turned out for a general discussion
which was called by the supervisors
in the assembly hall in the Mckinley
high school last night and those who
did come voiced satisfaction.
City Engineer Collins explained
that the proposed pavement was to be
of five-ineh reinforced concrete with
two-inch surfacing, probably OF btu
lithic, after Supervisor Charles Arm
old, presiding as chairman of the road
committee, had read the resolution
to refresh the memory of those pre-
sent.
Judge G. w. Ashford, who was for
merly the most bitter opponent OF the
whole PLAN made a point to be pre-
sent last night to tell the board he
was heartily in favor of the plan now.
He had once termed the new improve

ed feasible at this time. e..
Towse said the improvement had
nothing to do with him personally but
he was of the opinion that the new
piece Of King street extension over
which a terrific traffic was passing
every day would soon wear out unless
the traffic was divided. He suggest.
ed It would be good business to i'm
prove the remaining strip of Bereta-
mia street at this time. Others sup
ported his suggestion.
Arnold explained that this PROPOSE.
ton had already been considered but
declared there were not sufficient
funds to attempt it now. He ex.
pressed a belief that the new board Of
supervisors would undoubtedly find
it advisable to take that Improvement
up next and probably directly follow

4 WAR PRESIDENT.

Mr.. Wilson in the past four years
has proved himself one of our very
greatest peace presidents. From
now until the end of our inevitable
conflict with Germany he must recon-
Gle himself to the fact that he will
be a war president; that his para
mount duty to the nation will oe a
successful prosecution of the war;
that his success or failure as presi-
dent in his second term will be judg-
ed by the standards of war.
Mr.. Wilson. like almost any other
president in a like position, will have
to force upon himself a difficult and
painful transformation. He will nave
to uproot and cast aside many cher
ished objects. many noble plans and
motives which would have been pur-
poseful in peace but could be only
paralyzing in war. He will have to
adopt strange and uncongenlal prln-
cinles of action, often subordinatlng
the ideal to the material, ethical
theories to practical facts. rational
persuasion to brute compulsion, the
accommodations of peace to the I'M
compromising violence OF trial by
battle.
We follow Mr.. Wilson across the
threshold of this grim new world
with the hope and the belief that ne
may 50 adapt his commanding quail
tiles of mind and character to the
exigencies of war that he Will con
tinue to serve his country as ably
and as nobly in that war as he has
in the peace which he tried so pa
tIently to preserve.
