REGISTRY
CARDS FOUND
ON PRISONER
U. S. Officials Puzzled to Know
What Accused EmbezzIer In
tended to Do With Them

lust what J. E Higgins, former
employe OF the Honolulu postoffice
- and now under arrest on charge
of embezziement, intended TO do with
two bundles OF numbered registration
cards which were secured by Marshal
J. J. Smiddy when Higgins was placed
in custody last week, is a problem
which il puZZling federal officials To-
day.
Marshal Smiddy says that when he
arrested Higgins Friday evening he
took a bundle of numbered registra'
ton cards from him, the same kind
Of cards that were used for enrolling
military eligibles on July 81. On Sat,
urday morning the marshal searched
Higgins room and there found another
bundle OF cards, also a numbering ma
chine. u. s. Attorney S. c. Huber
has some Of the cards and the re-
mainder have been turned over to the
central registration board.
Higgins was chief registrar at Aala
Z Park on July 81 when more than 700
men enrolled for military service. Fed
eraI officials are not inclined to be-
lieye, however, that Higgins could
have used the cards with any damag-
ing effect unless he filled them out,
signed them and turned them over
70 men who had not registered and
whose names, therefore, would not ap-
pear on the official lists.
II Is alleged that Higgins, while
employed in the registry division at
the postoffice, rifled registered let
tiers containing coin. His alleged de-
falcation Is said TO amount to about
$3.50. Bond in the sum of $4,000 has
been fixed in his case. He was In
Oahu prison today, having failed to
secure surety on the bond. He has
waived preliminary examination be-
fore u. S. Commissioner @. 8. Curry
and his case will 90 to the grand jury
when Il meets again, probably In Dc
