Kapea, Faithless Clerk, Must Now Answer| for Thefts From Company An apartment in the Occidental Ho- tel has been converted into a temporary prison and in custody there, awaiting the departure of the mnext Hawallan steamer, is Henry K. Kapea, who 1s un- der indictment in Honolulu for the theft of several thousand dollars’ worth of territorial bonds. The prisoner, who ix about 26 years of age and of gentle- manly appearance, was brought to San Francisco yesterday by Deputy Sherift Henry C. Vida of Honolulu, who regis- tered himself and then quietly smug- sled Kapea upstairs, where they will be quartered until they can leave for the {slands. By his drastic methods, the deputy hopes to avert complications that might arise from habeas corp proceedings. On arriving in Honolulu Vida will have completely encircled the globe in pursuit of the fugitive, whom he fually captured in London. Seven months ago Kapea, who was a clerk in the employ of the | Hawaiian Trust and Investment Com- pany of Honolulu, was suspected of steal- | ing, and while an inWstigation of his accounts was in progress he secreted himself aboard a Pacific Mail steamer and escaped to the Orlent. Thither he was traced, but by the time Deputy Vida reached there Kapea had hurried off to another country and so the chase con- tinued until the capture in London. In Tokio it was found that Kapea had been spending money in a lav! manner and then he went to Canton and later to Bombay. From Bombay the fugitive slowly made his way to Naples, by way of the Suez Canal, and from there he drifted to Paris, where after several weeks' enjoymeént on the money he had stolen he went to | London. All this time Deputy Sheriff Vida, confident that he would eventually land his man, was rapidly creeping up on Kapea's trail. But i London the | officer lost the trail. and finally started back this country. Immediately on Lis arrival in-New York the Scotland ard men of London notified the authori- tles in Honolulu that Kapea had been apprehended. Securing requisition papers in Washington, Vida réturned to Lon- don and took his quarry in charge. While awaiting the arrival in London of Vida, Kapea, who had been detained in the Brixton Prison, expressed a de- sire to return to Honolulu and gladly wel- comed the coming of the Depufy Sheriff. The latter stated last nigut that he had | Ead no trouble with Kapea during thelr journey from London and was satisfled that his prisoner would make no attempt to escape before the trip over the Pacific Ocean is completed. Kapea refuses to talk of his troubles, but his captor sald | that the Honolulu Trust Company reckons that it is out nearly $20,000 by peculations and carelessness of the unfaithful clerk. e isu’s GOVERNMENT SHOULD ‘ WIPE OUT DISTILLERIES Dr. Oliver S. Stewart Asserts Uncle Sam Should Protect Cjtizens From Evils of Intoxicants. Dr. Oliver W. Stewart of Chicago, | who has been in this State for the last month lecturing under the auspices of the California Prohibition Committee, addressed an enthusiastic meeting last night at the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church on “What Is the Right Atti- tude for the Government to Take | Toward Saloons?’ Dr. Stewart de- ures before three audiences | After. arriving in Berkeley | in the morning from Ukiah, he gave an | address there and in the afternoon he | Moulton avenue, was arrested early Alameda, | vesterday morning by Policemen Timbs | addressed an, audience in finally concluding at Grace Church. Mr. Stewart took up the question of | | abolishing the saloons. He believed the Government should no more tolerate them than it would tolerate a thief or | any other offender. He declared that | the Government could not remedy the | evil by theffevying of heavy licenses. This, he said, was nothing more than receiv- | ing a bribe to allow the people to do | what is wrong because they pay for it. | The only way to abolish the saloons, he | said, is for the Government to wipe out | distilleries and prohibit the manufac- | | ture of liquors and intoxicants. { é | Millinery Sale. | Miss I E.

Owing to the demand of the denomination in the Panhandle district, it is also contemplated in the near future to organize a church in the vicinity of the school. The service was under the direction of the Rev. Frank L. Norton, Miss Pearl Weisbrod presiding at the plano. The service opened with the singing of the na- tional anthem, “My Country, 'Tis of Thee.” G. W.'

Ritchie Is Killed While Crossing the North Shore Road in a Buggy SEES DANGER T0OO LATE ! ‘ | Fails to Heed Soundings of Whistle and Ringing of | Bell by the Engineer S SRR | Roma K. Ritchie, manager of Madison | & Burke's renting department, was Killed | yesterday by a North -Shore electric train | at the road-crossing half a mile north | of Alto. The acecident occurred at 3o’clock | in the afternoon, while he was driving along the road in a buggy. The road- where the fatality occurred | is the beginning of a steep grade, and | for a distance of fifty or sixty feet the | track is obscured by a clump of willows. | It is strange, however, that Ritchie's at- | tention was not called by the noise of | the rapidly approaching traln, which was | tooting its whistle and clanging the bell. The horse was about to cross the track when Ritchie first realized his ‘danger. He tried to urge the animal to clear the tracks, but it was too late. The buggy | was on the track when motor car 505, | driven by Ritchie's schoolmate, Joseph | Whaley, crashed into the vehicle, demol- | ishing the buggy to splinters and hurllng} | | the occupant to the side of the track. His skull and right arm were fractured. The horse escaped unhurt. Motorman Whaley did not see Ritchie until the train was within 130 feet of the | crossing. He threw on the emergency | | brake, sounded ‘the whistle and the bell | but it was too late to avert the fatality. | Although the train was composed of sév- | (en heavily laden coaches going about | | forty miles an hour on a down grade, he | stopped the train within its: own length. Ritchie in the early '90’'s.was private secretary to J. A. Fillmore, the general manager of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. The -deceased leaves a widow. The family home is in Sausalito. - Ritchie’s rother, who is an engineer, ran the next | south-bound train after the accident. | THINKS THAT CHINESE | SOUGHT LUNG'S LIFE Detective Believes Wash- house Explosion Result of Tong Troubles. Detective Matherson, .who was de- tailed by Captain of Detectives Burnett to investigate the explosion in Lee Lung’s laundry, on Central avenue, near | Grove street, i¢ convinced that an at- | tempt was made, to destroy. the life of | the proprietor and that tong troubles ‘lwere responsible. The detective says | | that gilant powder and not dynamite was used and that it was exploded from the interior of the structure. The fact that Lee Lung was alone at the time supports this theory. He has several Chinese working for him and the explosion did not occur until all of them had left the premises and the proprietor remainéd alone in the place. Lung is very reticent about his fraternal affairs and does not seem to care whether the pdlice find the gullty parties or mot. He refuses to state what tongs he belongs to and there is cvery indication that he is attempting to conceal something. —_———— Try the United States Laundry. 1004 Market street.

He is accused of holding up George | Hanson of 3103 Buchanan street at | the crossing of that street and Moul- | ton avenue and taking from him a pair | of gold-rimmed eyeglasses and a police | whistle. Hanson informed the two policemen that he and Paul Warner, a friend, had been spending the night at Tyrrell's residence and it was after he left, about 2 o'clock in the morning, that he was held up. The police went to Tyrrell's residence and after being ' questioned Tyrrell admitted he 'had taken the eyeglasses and police whistle from Hanson. The eyeglasses were found in his pocket. He says it was done for a joke. William Coffey, a cook, living at 1054 Howard street, while walking along Mission street early yestérday morn- | ing was approached by Joseph Kelly, | alias Liddy, who ‘asked ‘him for 10 | cents. ° Coffey refused and Kelly grabbed hold of him and -attemnted to go through his pockets. Kelly ran away and was later arrested by liceman Hobi and booked at the City Prison on a charge of assault to commit rob- bery.

Both young- sters were badly bruised when Police- map Barry interrupted them and took them to, the City Hall Station. While Sergeant Harter was hesitat- ing whether to book them: for violating the duellng ordinance-or to send them home with the recommendation that they be spanked, Fritz whispered: “Well, she ain't your girl, anyhow!” Instantly Danny Shay's fist shot out and Young Hermann went to the floor. This last blow seemed to throw a dam- per on Fritz' ardor, for when he was dismissed he made record time for his home. The lassie in question waited till the victor was released. When he came out he was given the privilege of escorting her home, which he seemed to think cheap dt the price—a discolor- €d eye and a bloody nose. —_——————— Attempts Sulcide by Gas. To wind up a long debauch, Fred- erick Hoffman, a ‘baker, turned on the gas in his room at 1249% Lomba stréet yesterday. His mother, fearin that something was wrong, opened the door. She quickly summoned an am- bulance and the man was taken to the Central Emergency Hospial, where he quickly recovered. Hoffman said he in- tended to try again to end his life. .

This plate has the appearance of a door | leading into another room and the crimi- nals, groping about in a very faint light, must-have mistaken it for such. The safe crackers undoubtedly entered through the window on the Battery-strect side and the question arises as to how they accomplished this. The window was not forced and Stamp Clerk W. F. Stowell says it was supposed to be always se- cured from the insige by several nails. These nails were oved and in this| circumstance is founded the theory of an inside accomplice, who took out the | The stamps that were stofen, aceord- | ing to the explanation of the stamp clerk, were left out of the safe for the purpose of supplying outside stations on early morning calls. This, Stowell explains, has been the custom on Saturday nights, as the office does not open until noon on Sundays. There has been some criticism because of the fact that the police at the Fiall of | Justice were not notifiea unzil over two hours after the cracksman was seen at work, although the station is but two blocks away and telephones could be had at any hand. The burglar alarm system with which the office is equipped will) probably receive a knockout blow at the | hands of Postmaster Fisk when he makes | his report . to the Government on (hei matter. When' the alarm was set off on | the vault in the cashier's room by the postmaster as soon as he arrived at the | office the signal was recelved at the alarm station. No effort, however, was made to hasten men to the scene. The| effect that it was believed that the signal was the result of a “break™ and that on earthquake many alarms come in, but all are disregarded. When the alarm people were informed that the place had been robbed they seemed to awaken from their condition of tranquillity and about 2 o-clock in the morning two of their agents hastened to the postoffice. RAILROAD FOLK ARE TO PARLEY -~ Local railroad officers are interested in a fight now in progress between the traffic forces of the Southern Pacific Company and the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad. Although E. H. Harri- man {s the head of the former road and holds a large interest in the new route from Los Angeles, this fact, so far, has not interfered with the row between the officials of the two lines. It has been charged by the representa- tives of the Salt Lake road that the Southern Pacific has mot been promptly delivering cars to points reached by the new line. The fact is that the Salt Lake officers strongly suspect that he South- ern Pacific has had some hidden motive in this much-complained-of delay. Recently the Salt Lake folk complained to Freight Traffic Manager William Sproule and General Freight Agent G. W. Luce, citing an agreement previously en- tered into between the two roads relative to the handling of cars. But instead of getting a satisfactory reply it is said that the delay in . the delivering of cars at junction points became more noticeable. Then the Salt Lake people got mad and decided to come to this city and settle the matter, dnce and for all, with the representatives of the rival road. § ‘This explains the arrival here yesterday of General Manager R. E. Wells and General Freight and Passenger Agent E. W. Gillett of the Salt Lake road. They came north in a private car, and wil] go into conference with the Southern Pa- ;.‘Iflc officials to-day at the rallroad build- ng. It was reported last night that the firm stand taken by the Salt Lake road in the present quarrel has stirred up much ill feeling, and the fact being conveyed to E. H. Harriman he wired General Man- ager Bancroft of the Oregon Short Line, who is also vice president of the Salt Lake road, to immediately proceed to this city and use his best efforts toward bring- about a peaceful settlement of the exist- ing differences. Bancroft is expected here to-morrow. KINGSTON GROCERS 118 FOURTH ST. TEL. HOWARD 1986, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday SPECIALS. 18 Ibs. Best Granulated Sugar.... . $1.00 S Iba.
