TROLLEY CAR BARNS BURNED
sIOUSES ADJOINING IN FLUSHING-AVE.,
BROOKLYN, ALSO DESTROYED
WATCHMAN INJURED.

Early this morning fire broke out in the barns
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. in
Flushing-ave., between Marcy and Nostrand
aves Brooklyn. and destroyed the buildings and
fourteen old cars stored there. Some frame
dwelling houses in Flushing-ave. on both sides
of the barns We're burned.
The barns extended through from Flushing
ave. to- Hopkins-st. and were used by the COM
pany as repair shops and for the storage OF
large quantities of wire.
Four alarms were at sent in. Soon after
the flames broke out Thomas MattaT watch
man. jumped from the second story of the barns
10 save his life. His leg broken.
The barns were three stories, brick the first
and frame the other two. They were built
many years ago. A three story frame building
at No. So Hopkins-st. was of the houses
destroyed.
About twenty frame buildings stand oppo-
site the barns in Flushing gave. and Hopkins
ST. The heat from the fire intense that
the engines for long time could not get near
enough to do effective work. About two hun
dred persons mostly in their night gowns
rushed from the burning and threatened dwell
ing houses Great excitement prevailed in the
streets.
So far as could be learned all those who lived
in the houses that caught fire escaped.
The fire started from. an unknown in
the varnish room the first floor Of the barns
These had a frontage of 100 feet in Flushing
ave. and 115 feet deep. The loss esti-
mated at 100000 1t was said TO be covered

MAUI, Dec. 20.-At 2:30 O'Clock on
the morning OF the 18th, James An
derson, postmaster OF Makawao, ex.
member OF the Legislature, aud
prominent citizen OF Maui, died Of
pneumonia at Paia plantation hos
pital, after a short illness.
Mr.. Anderson, at the time OF his
death was seventy-three years OF age,
having been horn in small village
near st. Albans, Vermont, August
8, 1928. "a parents were Scotch
by birth an we're engaged in farm.
ing. In l849, after the death OF
both father aud mothsr, James An
derson sold the farm aud departed
for California, via the Isthmus OF
Panama, in search OF gold.
After pursuing the life OF miner
aud rancher, with varying success,
making and losing several modest
fortunes, he came, in 1870, to Ulu-
palakua, Maui, as a member of the
famous Lipcolnville colony, COM
pany of Americans who we're to
plant cane for Capt. James Mckee
on shares. This scheme failed in
less than two years of trial, but Mr.
Anderson remained with Captain
Mckee eight years longer, becom-
ing assistant manager under him.
In 1880 he removed to Makawao to
establish sugar plantation in COM
pany with W. f. Mossman, OF Ha-
makuapoko. The sugar enterprise,
however, was abandoned, owing TO
the successive wrecks of two vessels
voysging IRON Scotland, and conss.

still marked by stately mill ohim-

After this encouragement Ander-
son aud Mossman bought out the
general store, and the former sever

ter OF Makawao, a position he held
until the time of his death. y
He represented Maui as Noble in
the Legislature under the old
regime, and as Senator for one term
after the overthrow OF the monarchy.
Mr.. Anderson was Free Mason of
the thirty-second degree, and a
trustee of the Maunaolu Seminary.
He was bachelor, his nearest rela-
tives being an elder brother, John
G.. Anderson, of Salt Like, and
three nephsws and two nieces. One
OF his nephews John g Anderson
Jr., is welk.knoRn on Maui, having
resided several years in Makawao,
and having married daughter of
the late Thomas Campbell, OF Paia.
The funeral took place at Paia

noon of the day of his death. Rev,
DR.. E. G. Bsckwith conducted the
ceremonies, both. a. the church. and
at the cemetery 10 Makawao.

It Was Shameless Robbery.

LiliuokAlani, former Queen of Ha-
waii, is on her way to,'Washington
to endeavor TO secure some sort OF
payment from the United States
Government for the million acres of
crown lands that our Government
robbed her OF when she was de-
throned and the Sandwich Islands
annexed to this country. The
lands, which are worth about $780,
100000, include some of the fuest
sugar estates in the islands, aud
now net the Federal Government
nearly half a million yearly in rent.
ais. There 10 not the slightest
question in right and fairness as to
the former Queens title to the pro.
perty, The great Grover Cleveland
so proved in his message to Con-
gress, wherein he pointed out that
it was the duty OF the United States
to replace Liliuokalani on the
throne from which she had been
driven through the aid and conni-
vance of American marines. The
Government at Washington should,
without delay, recompense the
former Queen for the estate that be-
longsd to her and to her forbears
for centuries. Ibelieve that Presi-
dent Roossvelt's Inbred sense ol
right and the integrity OF his public
acts will lead him to effect a remedy
OF the monstrous wrong. At pres
ent the United States is in posses
sion of stolen goods taken from the
Queen by something very like high

That the Territory, and especial.
ly Honolulu, needs trained force
of detectives, and a numerical in
crease OF the general force cannot
be denied. The wise men Of the last
Legislature wouldn't pass a suffici-
ent appropriation for the police pro-
lection of the town, but, shortsight-
ed as they we're, contended them
selves with increasing appropria,
tions for salaries for individual Off.
GERS who affiliated with them. That
detectives are needed here is daily
demonstrated, and all know that
the reason the High Sheriff cannot
make move is the lack of funds.
We hope some burglar will sandbag
one of the honorable spouters and
see whether any OF Pains money is
still clinging to their pockets. The
harvest would hardly be worth the
the game of robber now.
