Honolulu. Dec, 14-Sheriff Rose. of Honolulu. is a firm believer Tn pre- paredness, especially since he return ed from the recent annual convention of police chiefes in San Francisco. The sheriff is not anticipating any influx of train, taNscab or stageCoach bandits into Honolulu. but he Is Tm- pressed with the necessity of teaching the young police how to shoot, just ''in case.''
 Annual practice meets for the dis play of shooting talent are being held all oyer the mainland, argues Sheriff Rose, and why not in Honolulu ? Hereafter the Honolulu guardians of the law will be taught that a revolver has other uses than filling up a nip pocket.
 Moreover. personal taste in fancy revolvers of the pearl-handled and baby Colt variety will be curtailed and a standardization of police rre- arms to be carried by the Honolulu police will be made.

Her Jaw Is Broken
 on Automobile Trip
(Continued from Page D

The woman, according to informa- ton received by the state police thls morning, has failed to make a state ment of the case to the authorities but in discussing the case with Sergeant Frank VerrilH, she stated that she had hired a taMcab at the railroad station last night and went for a ride and was pushed from the cab To substantiate this story she is also reported to have told the po- lice that she had S100 on her person when she entered the cab but when discovered lying in a pool of blood on the lonely road she had but SlO III
 Conflicting Stories Told.
 She is also reported to have told her husband, however, that she was walk ing along Main street last night when she was accoSted by two men Who pushed her into an automobile and drove her to the outskirts of the city, where after being rebuked in their efforts to assault her she was rudely pushed from the car.
 When questioned by a Times re- porter this morning, MT. Mayer, who is a butcher, said that his wife had made no statement to him as yet or the circumstances leading up 10 or surrounding the ride or to anybody else. He said she had received or ders from her physician to converse with no one and if she did want to she would be unable to, due to the nature of her njures.
 Jaw Fractured.
 According to the husband, the wo- man is suffering from a slight frac- ture of the jaw and the words that she utters are barely audible. When discovered last night by residents of the TunxiS Hill section she was bleed ing profuseIy from the mouth and seemed in a seni-cOnscious state. She was rushed to St. Vincent'S hospital in the car of State Police Sergeant Frank Virrilli but early this morning was removed to her home where she is now confined.
 The husband of the woman this morning seemed confident that the matter would clear itself and that as soon as the woman was able to make 8 statement, she would be able to eX- plain matters satisfactorily. Police who are Investigating the case are working on the theory that robbery was the motive for the attack, but the police also hint Mrs. Mayer have been on a "joY ride.''

Admitted and guided by the night
watchman, a band OF nine burglars,

former member of the Police Reserves

$50, 900 robberies of homes and offices
year ago. Adams was sentenced to

According to the police version of
Breckinridge's confession, the night
watchman had no definite understand
