THE POLICE CATCH
Lira
BURGLAR
The Lihue police believe they
have at last captured the burglar
who, in the past few weeks, has
robbed a number o t daces i n
neighboring settlements.
The man is one Julio dela Cruz,
released only a few months ago
,from the Territorial pcnetentiaiyi
He has confessed to two burglaries,
and will enlighten the police as to
others that have been more or less
of a puzzle.
The burglary that led to the ar
rkst occurred at an early hour Sat
urday morning, when the barber
' shop at Hanamaulu was entered
In that instance the thief broke a
pane of glass in a front window,
drew the catch on the inside and
lifted the window. The valuables
of the Japanese proprietor of the
shop was kept in a drawer in a
small desk. With an augur bit he
opened this drawer and abstracted
therefrom $75 in gold, $3.50 in sil
ver, two Hawaiian dimes and a
pair of solid gold cuff buttons.
Absolutely no clue was left be
hind.
It developed, however, that the
night before a burglar tried to en
ter the store of Ah Chock, at Ka
paia, In fact two attempts were
made, but in both instances the
Chinese in the place weie alert and
frightened the burglar away.
.In making off .from .Ah Chock's
the thief left a shoe behind. It
was a small shoe, indicating that
"Y" belonged to an Asiatic or Porto
Rican.
J. H. Coney, who has had .a
great deal of experience in detec
tive work, came into t h, e case
along there somewhere, and be
gan to make inquiries as to the
whereabouts of one or two ex-jailbirds.
It was found that de la
Cruz, since leaving the Territorial
prison, had been living with Offi
cer Enoka Lovell, also Jailor Dias
and also Deputy Sheriff Ellis, the
presumption being that they were
trying to straigthen him up and
make a man of him again
Detective Cone y's inquiries
brought de la Cruz to mind, and
one of Lovell's sons identified the
shoe as belonging to that indivi
dual.
A search was then instituted for
de la Cruz, and he was nabbed at
Kapaa. At the time of his capture
he had on his person $110 in gold
and 45 cents in silver.
,vt first he refused to answer
questions or talk, but gathering
" from the line of questions that the
officers knew of his guilt, he admit
ted the robbery of the barber shop.
The officers took him to the shop
in Hanamaulu and he explained to
them in detail how he had effected
an entrance and accomplished his
purpose. He also admitted having
tried to rob the Ah Chock .store
in Kapaia.
The police are confident that de
la Cruz committed three recent
burglaries in Nawiliwili, and was
probably at the bottom of other
cases farther away.
De la Cruz was sent to the pene
tentiary from Waimea for assault
with a dangerous weapon.
Camping In Canyon

the Lihue hospital yesterday suf
fering from what proved to be
diptheria. At the time the case
was so far advanced that the child
died during the afternoon.
The patient came from a Fili
pino camp house above the mill.
As soon as the disease had been
diagnosed, the premises from which
the case appeared were disinfected
and all contacts given the usual
anti-toxin.
Dr, Putman states that there is
no cause for alarm, and it is a'
sporadic case such as appears at
intervals and is to expected from
time to time.
A FISHING PARTY
T
An adventure party, with fish
ing and hunting features, made a
two days cruise in a power sampan
this last week along the Napali
coast, touching at various points of
interest and spending the night at
Nu-ololo.
They caught a considerable
quantity of fish on the reef there,
and passed a very comfortable
night, in spitf of comparative in
experience in the simple life. On
the whole the trip was mainly
productive of phenomenal appe
tites and vivid sunburn.
The party consisted of J. K.
Farley, J. M. Lydgate, Dr. Derby,
Dr. Waterhouse, Judge Dickey,
Judge Dole, Mortimer Lydgate and
Ellsworth Derby.
They recommend the trip as one
of eternal sunshine!
CANNERY CLOSES
ITS FIRST SEASON
After a run of nearly three
mouths, the Kapaa cannery will
fiinish its first packing season this
afternoon or tomorrow, and the
outturn will be a little more than
18.000 cases. The quality of the
fruit was the best, and the canned
product as fine as any ever turned
out in the islands.
Manager Albert Horner. Jr , is
delighted with the results of the
season's work. Machinery has run
smoothly, and there have been no
serious accidents of any kind.
The new season will begin about
December, when there will be a
great deal more fruit than there
was this time.
The Kapaa cannery is new, the
machinery beginning "work on the
first pack soon after being install
ed, The entire output was con
tracted for in advance, so the com
pany has no worries in regard to a
market.

EIS
TO
The wonderful "talking pic
tures" are coming to Lihue, and
will probably go from Lihue to
other parts of the island. Thev
are produced by an invention of
Mr. Edison known as the kiutto

to bi a complete success.
Eddie Fernandez will arrive on
Kauai tomorrow morning with the
apparatus, and will give the first
entertainment in Hale Hooni, Li
hue, Thursday evening. This ini
tial appearance will be followed bv
other programs Friday evening and
Saturday evening.

be shown the Congressional party
pictures. This will include the
motion picturts of the party "in
action" at Lihue and other parts
of Kauai, taken by Mr. Uddit Fer

will also prove a rare trert.
The Congressional pictures will
be 1 shown in Lihue once nly
Thursday evening; so that all wish
ing to see them should be on hands
at that entertainment. The other
evenings of the Lihue engagement
will be taken up entirely with the

FIELD HOSPITAL

Miss Hunter is now stationed in
a field hospital in Belgium, where
she :s kept very busy but reports
herself as being very happy in her
work as well as in the experience
it is giving her.

Miss Hunter had gone down in
the Lusitania, as had Miss Jones,
also formerly of Lihue: but that
proved not the case.
Miss Hunter has many friends
in the Islands, not only at Lihue
and on Kauai, but at Honolulu
