learned that a purported repairer of
sewing machines had visited the dis

Secretary Thayer was informed of
the matter and telephoned to the po

the thief, carrying out their part of
the, program so effectively that
within an hour the glasses and man
had been located, but not before he
had pawned them at a downtown
office. He had scratched off the
number of the glasses, according to
the territorial secretary, but had
failed to see the name of Mrs. Thayer
on a portion of the rover.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL HAS
PART IN OFFICIAL TAPE
One more roll of red tape has been
discovered in the order of events that
make up necessary action before the
loan fund commission can grant any
contractor, privilege of. entering Ilille
brand Glen for work . on the -:Maole
ditch as recently bid for. It has just
been learned that the attorney general
has a part in the ceremonies by draft
ing the proper form of license.
Everybody Is willing for the work
to go on, as near as the Star-Bulletin
can learn by inquiry, but it is red tape
that is holding up the work. Mean
while the days between now and the
rainy season are growling less and
less. ;
As the order 6tands at present, and
. unless the sheriff must needs be call
ed into the .scope of things, the tape
rolls up as follows: Request from loan
fund to land commissioner; from com
Snissioner to forestry board; forestry
board to board of health.; back to for

eral; attorney drafts license; return
to forestry boards return to land of

As lnticipat'id through vote and
discussion at a previous meeting, the
board of harbor commissioners jester-
day afternoon adopted a resolution
urging upon the federal government
the Immediate need of , adequate pro
tection or Nawiliwill by breakwater.
It is ursed that congress consider an
appropriation ior the work.

of Kauai is now w ithout a harbor that
may be entered with, safety by vessels
while embarking freight and passen
gers, or disembarking them, and
states that Nailiwili provides a most
favorable oprortunity for the cou

way to literary success, la 1SS9 he
published "The Man On the Trr.il,"

fi'st volume "'An Odyssey of the
.Ncrtli. Tin? volume made a name
for the young Genius.
His E:sy Career
IJtiwe it. 1900 and the present he
wrote and published more than forty
volumes, his work having been trans
lated into a score of languages. Ixin
den was as well known in Russia as
in America, while, during the past
five or six years, he has been looked
upon in England as one of the world's
greatest authors. The praise thqt has
been fhowered upon him by the Brit
ish critics was regarded by London as
his greatest triumph.
Author Twice Married
In 1900. Jack Ixmdon was married
to Miss Bessie Maddern of Oakland,
a relative of Minnie Maddern Fiske
the celebrated actress. By this mar
riage Ixmdon had two daughters. Joan
and Bess, who are now living with
their mother in Oakland. This mar
riage proved uncongenial and the
couple were separated by divorce.
His marriage to the present Mrs.
London, who was Miss Charmian Kit
tredge of Berkeley, took place in 1905
and was an ideal match. The name
each had for the other, up to the time
of Ixmdon's death, was "Mate."
Mrs. Flora London, mother of the
author, survives him. She is a resi
dent of Oakland.
Honolulu Regrets Passing of Author
: In his later writings, London show
ed himself a warm, friend of the. is
lands and one with full appreciation
of their charms. His recent visits
here, with Mrs. London, gave, them a
wide circle of friends. They entertain
ed very often and very hospitably,
London's habit of early-morning work
giving them plenty of time free from
his literary labors. ,
Regret was widely expressed - this
morning at the news of his untimely
death. Men and women in all walks
of life spoke with sadness of the cut
tin g-off of the brilliant career upon
which he was but just well-launched.
London's Loss Felt
"Jack : London has done much for
Hawaii, said A. P. Taylor, secretary
of the Hawaii Promotion Committee,
today when asked whether Or not the
committee would take any steps to
ward a resolution of sympathy. "Lon
don was a prolific writer, and much
of his recent material was based upon
Hawaii.":'.'
"Mark Twain, Robert Louis Steven
son and Charles Warren Stoddard
were three men who did much to bring
Hawaii to the front in their literature.
Jack London was another, and the
fact that he had. announced his in
tention of making his home in Ha
waii, makes the new3 of his death
a sorrow to the committee individu
ally as well as collectively.
"London's writings have been one
of the best publicity assets that Ha
waii could claim. Of late his writ
ings have all had a pronounced Ha
waiian flavor.
Committee Senos Letter
The committee this morning for
warded a letter of sympathy to Mrs.
London, expressing their sorrow as a
body and as members. At the civic
convention the , body announced that
London had done a wonderful thing
for the islands, and this was men
tioned., -.
As a literary genius and as a
friend the residents of Hawaii will
miss Jack London. He had a pleas
ing jersonalitjy and during his stay
on Hawaii became popular with all
who came to know him. Millions of
readers- have followed .London in his
tales of life, and his stories of Ha
waii, it is haid to understand that
he has passed Into the Great Beyond,"
he concluded.
Gen.- Johnson Was Friend
Perhaps no person in all Hawaii
knew Jack London better than did
Brig.-Gen. Samuel I. Johnson, adjutant-general
of the National Guard, the
two men having seen service as sail
ors together on the old ship Annie
Lewis 25 years ago when she sailed
from Portland, Me., to Buenos Aires.
When London came to Honolulu on
the Snark several years ago, he and
Johnson met again to really know
each other, and talking over; old ship
ping days discovered they had served
on the same trip. They used to like
to go over the old incidents after the
discovery.
As soon as Gen. and Mrs. Johnson
heard, of the sad news today, they
wirelessed a message of sympathy to
Mrs. Ixjndon at Glen Ellen. Governor
Pinkham, also, who knew- Ixndon well.
sent a similar message to Mrs. Ijoti
don to convey his sympathies to her.
