Schr. ]. G.. North's
Terrible Time
in Storm.
NATIVES MAY
HAVE BEEN KILLED
Lumber Graft Lost Both of Her
Anchors and Had Other
Damage.

The American schooner John G. North
arrived at Honolulu last evening with
a tale of disaster in storm at Puma
luu which nearly caused the destruc-
ton of the vessel and which may have
cost some natives at Punaluu their
lives.
The North took a cargo of lumber
from the Sound to Punaluu and while
anchored off the shore was discharging
the lumber by means OF RATS attached
to a surf line. On the morning of
August 29th gale sprung up, the wind
blowing on shore. The vessels anchors
dragged and the surf line fell. A party
of half a dozen men were sent out in
boat from shore to clear the line but
the gale blew them back and forced
the boat on the reef. Those on the
vessel were unable to learn whether
the natives in the boat reached the
shore in safety or not.
On the following morning the gale
continued with great force and Captain
Erickson of the North ordered steam
got up to heave the anchors so that
he might sail away and escape the risk
of going on the reef. On the follow
ing morning an effort was made to
heave the starboard anchor but the
chain broke and was thus rendered
useless. AT the same time the windlass
carried away and the crew were un-
able to heave the port anchor so it
was slipped together with about forty
five fathoms of chain.
By 81 piece of nervy work the captain
got his ship around sufficiently so that
he could just clear the reef and made
sail for Honolulu. The vessel had no
anchors and was practically at the
mercy of the sea. On Sunday the winds
were light and battling but on Monday
another gale was encountered. the
ship rolled a great deal, and sails had
to be shortened At eight o'clock in
the evening the fore lower masthead
sprung. The foresail was then double
reefed and the spanker made fast.
The weather moderated on Tuesday
and on Wednesday the vessel had a
fairly good run to the anchorage off
Honolulu harbor. The tug Fearless
went out Immediately and towed the
vessel into the harbor and she was
berthed at the Fort street wharf.
The North will lose considerable by
her troubles. She still has about TWEEN
ty thousand feet of lumber in her hold.
When the surf line broke at Punaluu
eight RATS of lumber which were at
tached to it drifted on the reef and

tive committee of the Hui Kuokoa was
performed. The committee first took
up the action of Prince Cupid and ac-
cepted his resignation from the presi-
dency of the party. In his stead Nor
ris Keohokalole was chosen president.
There was discussion of policy which
lasted during the evening and after all
had been said the policy of the party
was left for settlement at later meet
ing.
An attempt was made to provide for
a committee to confer with all the
other parties to discuss representation
on the several tickets, but this was
defeated and what will be the
future of the party organization will be
settled at the next meeting. The plans
for which the organization was formed
will not be abandoned. but the educa-
tion of the Hawaiian voters will go on,

FORMAL.|N IN
IN MILK
The Board of Health
Against Its
Use.

Acting upon a report made by Food
Commissioner Shorey, the Board of
Health yesterday appointed a commit
tee to look into the question of restric-
tions upon the use of formalin as a milk
preservative. While it is not known
that formalin is positively injurious in
itself, its use in large quantities might
probably at least be hurtful to chill
dren. When the matter was brought
up yesterday by Mr.. Shorey's report
upon milk obtained from a wagon
marked Kalihiwaena Dairy, there was
considerable discussion as to the pow
er of the board to stop the use of for
malin.
The statute does not cover the point
and there is a question also as to its
use in sufficient quantities to be Of in
jury. 1t was finally decided to refer
the matter to a committee composed of
DR.. Sloggett and DR.. Moore. The fol-
lowing is the letter to the board;
DR.. H. c. sloggett. President Board of
Health:
Sir:-Yesterday morning Mr.. Myhre
obtained a sample of milk from a man
named Ludloff, driver of wagon mark

to be preserved with formalin. The

MAN
IS MISSING

C. B. Kinney, one of the newly ap-
pointed inspectors for the Board of
Health in the WAIKIKI district, has been
missing since Monday at noon and the
police have been searching for him
since yesterday. though without sue
cess.
Kinney is married and lives in the
McCully tract. Monday at noon he left
home, telling his wife that he intended
to visit one Of the Chinese duck ponds
on the Waikiki road, as the owner
would not be looking for him, it being a
holiday. Since that time no trace Of
him has been found.
When he last left home Kinney wore
a blue serge suit of clothes. He is a
man of about five feet ten inches in
height, has dark hair, round chin and
dark mustache. He wore straw hat

leave taking without notifying his fam
lily or friends.

had left his vessel on Monday at
o'clock in the afternoon. He had only
been on the Rosamond for one trip but
he considered him a good fellow, all
though he thought he drank to excess.
DR.. Mcdonald explained that a post
mortem examination of the body had
been made and that no marks of vio-
lence or of any foul play had been
found on the dead body, although the
ears had been trimmed off little by
fishes while it had been in the water.
IN his opinion death resulted simply
from drowning.
Robert Levy, a cab driver, told how
he had taken the two officers to Hack
field wharf on the evening Of the drown
ing When they got out he naturally
expected his money. 1t turned out that
the officers only had five cents between
them He drove away in disgust. The
two men seemed to be friendly and
Stuart mentioned that he would be paid
off the next day and would come
around and pay off his debt.
Hans Johnson. sailor from the bark
entine w H. Dimond, told how he had
assisted a native watchman in getting
Stuart out of the water He saw or
heard nothing of Voorhies.
Alfred AIstrom, second mate of the
Rosamond, had a very mixed story. He
had heard splashes and all sorts of
cries and had recognized faint voice
which cried "help," as that of his su-
perior, Mate Voorhies, but did not make
any effort to find out what the matter
was. Juror Camarinos gave Alstrom a
lecture on the ethics of saving fellow
mems lives when they were in danger.
This did not make any great impress
sion on AIstrom. He said that the
Rosamond had no watchman at night.
The jurors were astounded, but Cap
tain Johnson admitted that he did not
keep a watchman for his big schooner,
John Nadine. a sailor from the Rosa
mond. also told a mixed story-at least
one that did not quite agree with others
that had been told.
Camarinos dropped into a dream
about beer licenses.
CAPTAIN Perry of the Addenda was
called. He said that when Stuart came
aboard he, Stuart, was very undecided
whether he wanted to go to the hos
pital or call a policeman or do nothing
at all, but was finally taken to the hos

When the registration books were
closed last evening at o'clock there
were 565 names on the records. These
were mostly those of Hawafians and
there had been very few men rejected

on account of insufficient residence in

PHYSICIAN SEWS UP
A BLEEDING HEART
Operation of Great DeIicacy Performed
Upon New York Woman Thought
to Be Dying.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-one of the
rarest operations known to surgery
the sewing up of severed ventricle
of a human heart-has been performed
at Bellevue hospital. The patient was
Annie Kingsley, who was stabbed by
her husband during quarrel on the
street. She was thought to be dying
when the ambulance reached the hos
pital. The blood was pouring from a
long wound in the left ventricle, which
supplies the body with blood, while the
right pumps to the lungs. The sur
geons knew the flow must be checked

The operation was decided upon. 1t
was performed by two surgeons with
fifteen more looking on. The heart was
laid bare and the surgeons saw that
the wound was very severe. 1t would
require six stitches. During intervals
between the beats of the heart the
needle was inserted six. times and the

was carefully dressed and the sur
geons waited to see the result. The pa

CHICAGO UNIVERSITY
PLANS BIG BUILDING
Would Take In a Musical College, a
Church and Business Offices
for the Institution.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Plans are now
being prepared for great downtown
building for the University Of Chicago
wherein will be located the city busi-
ness offices of that institution, the pro-
posed musical college Of the univer-
sity, Central church and Theodore
Thomas orchestra. The estimated cost
of the structure is $2,O00,000.
Negotiations for suitable site for
the big edifice are still pending, but
the favorite location and the one most
likely to be secured is in Michigan ave-
nue. near the Fine Arts building. Among
the men who are projecting the gen.
eral plans are Presiden w. r. Harper,
of the University of Chicago, A. C.
Bartlett, Harold Mccormick, Martin
Ryerson, E. r. Graham, of D. H. Burn
ham & Co., and the trustees of Central
church. The plan is said to have orig
mated coincidentally with President
-Harpers purpose to establish college
of music as a department of the uni
versity and to locate the college in the
downtown district.
In adopting this course the univer-
sity authorities are said to have had
the counsel and advice of Theodore
Thomas, who has been chosen head OF
the musical department. In this con-
nection there was also considered Mr..
Thomas desire for a great hall suita-
able for his concerts. Adding to this
the long wish of Central church for an
auditorium suited to its needs, and the
notable project was formulated. The
Sunday services of Central church
have been for years held at the Stude-
baker theater, but the location has not
been satisfactory because it's audito-
rum is out of proportion to the pecu-
liar needs of the congregation. The
seating capacity will be 5000 and un>
less it's acoustic properties are equal to
or possibly excel those of the famous
halls of the world the fond hopes of
the promoters will not be realized.

to escape with his life, and it Is not
thought by the men employed in the
factory and firemen that those on the

fiercely that further work was impos-
sible.
Caused by an Explosion.
The company had three factories,
one seven stories, the main factory
fourteen stories high and another four
stories high. The fire started in the
drying house and was caused by an ex-
plosion. The flames spread with in
credible rapidity, and before the first
fire engine could arrive the structure
was ablaze from foundation to roof
Nothing could be done and in a short
tlne the walls were QOWn anu the
building one half hour from the time
of the explosion was a mass Of ruins.
At one time it was feared that the
fire would destroy the Taylor street
viaduct, but the fremen managed to
save this after hard struggle. They
bent every effort to saving the four
teens story building of the refinery, but
so intense was the fire in the drying
house that this caught fire in several
places and at 1920 a. m. it was evil
dent that if it could be saved at all 1t
would be badly damaged.
The men employed in the three low
er floors of the drying house ran for
the doors and windows as soon as they
had knowledge of the fire and all Of
them succeeded in reaching places Of
safety. 1t was reported that there was
one man at one who was cut off from

smoke that poured through the build
ing and was compelled to make run

lynched in the public square by an in
furiated mob today. The district Judge
yesterday asked the governor for mill
tia to accompany the negroes here
from the jail at Houston, where
they were safe. At the request of a
large number of citizens of Hampstead,
who, it is said, signed written prom
ise to aid the authorities in preventing
any mob law, Judge Thompson this
morning countermanded his. request
and the troops did not accompany
the negroes.
Both Quickly Convicted.
Barton was first tried. He pleaded
guilty to criminal assault and then to
the murder of Mrs. Susan Lewis, aged
sixty three, on Sunday, Oct. IL. The
juries in each case on which were sew,
eral negroes, promptly returned a YER
dict assessing the death penalty. Dur
ing the afternoon Wesley was put on
trial. He pleaded guilty to assault
and then to the murder charge. Dur
ing his trial mob broke into the
court room and attempted to take him,
it having been ascertained that the
sheriff had asked for troops. The mob
was dispersed, however, and the trial
proceeded, the state putting through it's
testimony hurriedly in confederation Of
the plea of guilty. The jury assessed
the death penalty.

The officers of the court sat about

SHAVING ON SUNDAY
IS NOT A NECESSITY
Judge Fruit, of La Crosse, Stands by
the Wisconsin Tonsorial
Law.

LA CROSSE, Wis, Oct. 21.-In de-
cision handed down today Judge Fruit,
of the circuit court, decided that shaw
ing on Sunday was not a necessity, If
it was done in a public barber shop.
In the case of the State VS.. Rice, the
defendant was charged with violating
the state law, which provides that
none but necessary work be done. Rice
shaved a man in his shop at Tomah
on Sunday and was arrested for it.
The attorney for the defense argued
that it was necessary for a man to be
shaved on Sunday in order to make
him presentable to go to church.
