ROBBED FREIGHT GAB

' Local merchants have much trouble
with overland shipments and will wel
come the, through steamer service that
is to follow ,tLe construction of the
"Panama Canal. It is common in the
West, when freight trains are side
tracked, to rob cars containing portable
goods of value, artitularly wearing ap
parel." Honolulu consignments often
suffer. The latesc local victim is M.
Melnerny, as is shown by this flipping
from a iTesno paper: - -
After holding Francisco Tores, Fran
cisco Lagos and' Ferfecto Aranda for
three davs to determine whether or not
thev were burglars, the police vester-
dav discovered evidence to show that
the men were burglars.
When Lagcs aud Aranda were arrest
ed, thirty-tine pairs of shoes were found
m their possession. It was discovered
yesterday that these shoes had ben
stolen from a Santa Fe freight ear last
Tuesday night. The goods in the ear
were from tie Brown Shoe Company of
St. Louis and were consigned to M. Me
lnerny, a dealer of Honolulu.
The police yesterday also discovered
thirty-six more pairs of shoes, making
seventy-five pairs in all which 'the Mex
icans hal stolen. The last lot. were hid
den by the burglars.
With the discovery of this evidence
yesterday a charge of burglary was
placed against each man and they will
be held to answerfor. tbeit .crimes".

When the cases of the Chines! gam
blers arrested in the paikau fortress
at Waipahu were called before the Dis
trict Magistrate of Ewa yesterday
morning, only five responded out of the
nineteen caught and bailed out. The
$o bail for each of the fourteen who
did not appear was declared forfeited,
and the five who faced the judge had
their cases nol-prossed by Deputy
Sheriff Fernandez.
The Chinese were not represented by
counsel and the prosecuting officer was
the Deputy Sheriff. Even the Judge
seemed surprised at the request of the
Deputy Sheriff for he asked for a rea
son for throwing up the case. The
Deputy replied that there was insuffi
cient evidence. On that showing the
Judge let tne men go.
This is the end of a fine raid made
by officer Joe Leal on a" notorious gam
bling house, which has defied the ef
forts of the police for a long time. It
is one of the oMtime barricaded gam
bling resorts, whose doors and windows
are barred. Leal gained entrance to
the joint by clever work and caught
the nineteen while they were epgaged.
They did not even have time to get
rid of the dominoes and . dice, as on
former occasions. Their scheme has al
ways been to drop the irierimircaring
evidence into a chute which ends in a
stream which runs close by the build
ing. The latter is located near the
depot.
The gamblers have thrown out two
more watchmen, and it will be more
difficult than ever to break up the
game.
NEW ENGLAND SI'S
TALE ABOUT GHATEH
Xeedham (Mass.) Chronicle. A Hyde
Park girl, Miss Margaret B. Scott, has
written a letter to her father, Walter
Scott, from Hilo, Hawaii, giving an ac
count of her reeent visit to the famous
volcano at that place. After reading
this sketeh, yon may conclude that the
crater of a volcano is a somewhat big
ger affair than you have supposed it
to be:
"Here we are living on the brink
of one of the biggest volcanoes ia the
world. The trip takes (on an island
steamer) from Tuesday noon until Wed
nesday at .10 a. m., when we reached
Hilo. We stayed two days in Hilo, got
a team and drove to several sugar plan
tations. (Egbert -knows them all,
through doingwork for them in the
iron works.
"On Friday morning we started for
the volcano. The train took us up
twenty-two miles and we came the other
nine miles by stage. It is uphill and
the horses take over two, hours to do
iL The Volcano House, or hotel, is
built on the brink of the" outer erater
and the trail goes down in front of the
hotel 800 feet to the lava bed or floor
as they call it. Then we have to walk
three and a half miles aeross this lava
bed to the inner crater where the ac
tivity is. The horses were then tied
up in a shelter place and we went the
rest of the way on foot. Indeed lots
walk all the way from the hoteL We
did one day, but it is so hard coming
up a part of the traiL
"Well, as I said, we walked the rest
of the way, and of course I was just
wearying to get my first look into the
erater. Babert had seen it last June.
Well, I did and it is just awfuk' . That
seething, boiling mass of redhot lava
and it just roars like the sea or waves
beating up on the shore that seems
the greatest wonder to me; then it will
lash itself up and flow over on to the
inner rim, that is of course "200 feet
down from us. A great mass of liquid
lava will seem to" flow in a mass then i
suddenly break and burst up in the air,
a fountain of fire. They say that they
rise to thirty feet, but one would never
think so from where we stand. '
"It is grand by day and bright sun
light, but Imagine it, if you can, as
darkness comes on and that glow be
gins to come in the ky from it, and
the walls are all lighted. It is inde
scribable you hate to leave it and go
home. There is a little shelter house :
where we have coffee, whieh has been
warmed over the big heat cracks. We
have to jump over these eraeks before
we come to the main pit. All around
the hotel are steaming eraeks. The
whole ground steams, but these eraeks
I speak of are not steam, it is just pure
heat. We stick postal eards down into
them and they get seo.rched.
" We are thinkiDg of staying another
wees nere. ., une. cnange as so great
from Honolulu. It is 4000 feet above
sea level, so yor can see it is good
and eooL There has been a good deal
of rain since we came np, but we put
on our rain coats and go right ahead."

W. F. MacLennan Who Arranged

WASHIXGTOX, Aug. 14. William
F. MacLennan, chief of the bookkeep

ury Department, died at 6 o 'clock this
morning at his apartments in the To

cer of the month.
h In: f his death the " Treasury Depart
ment loses one of the most noted of its
officials, the man who for years super
vised the great system of bookkeeping
by which aeeount is kept of every dol
lar received and expended by the gov
ernment. He had held the position
many years and was held in the highest
confidence by every Secretary of the
Treasury under whom he Berved.
In may, 1903, Mr. MaeLennan was
sent to Honolulu to settle and arrange
for paying off the public debt of 'Ha
waii He went there again in 1905 to
liquidate claims for fire losses sustained
in combating the buboaie plague in 1899
and 1900, the United States having un-
I dertaken the payment of such claims
to the amount of $1,000,000.
Mr. MacLennan was born in Connec
ticut in 1837 and was a veteran of the
civil war. He entered the Treasnry De
partment shortly after the war and rose J
to be chief of the bookkeeping and war
rants division. He was a man of re

Miss Margaret MacLennan. The funer
al services will take place Monday af
