likes 10 sing for his own pleasure or
amusement, and not at the command Of
someone else. Then a great many can't
sing anyway, and they all looked ON

COMES With STARVING CREW
AMERICAN SCHOONER FOREST HAKoDATE
CONTINUOUS COURSE
ACROSS THE FACIFIC-THE ALLOWANCE
OF A FEW GRAINS A

With starvation staring the crew in
the face since January s, the American
schooner Forest Home came to an an
chor off the port last night. Within
sight of land, Captain Everson and his
crew were powerless to relieve their
suffering and had to go to their hunks
suffering the pangs of hunger
For the last SO days the crew of the
schooner have been living on barely
enough food to sustain life. One cup
of rice has been the daily ration during
most of that time. and it was with de-
vout thanks that land was sighted yes
terday for with the appearance of the
Hawaiian islands, the crew realized
that they had escaped from a horrible
death.
The Forest Home left Hakodate Jap
an on December II to go to Yokohama.
The vessel had 100 tons of sulphur
aboard and was to load some general
cargo at Yokohama for San Francisco.
Ordinarily the trip from Hakodate to

NOMORE SINGING
AT "RETREAT".IT
WAS TOO MUCH

They don't sing the "Star Spangled
Banner" at Retreat out at Camp
Mckinley, any more.
When Major Mcclellan, the new COM
mand8nt came here and took command
of the post relieving Captain Pierce
who had been i'm command since Ma
jor Davis was relieved for service in
the Philippines, he listened to the Ar
tiUerists singing for a few times, and
then without making any comments to
the men he announced that hereafter
the singing would be discontinued. 1t
is said he would have discontinued the
practice Immediately after hearing the
men sing once, but he didn't want to be
rash or precipitate. He didn't know
but on the first occasion i'm the pres
ence Of new commandant the boys
might have been a little nervous, or
perhaps not I'm good voice.
After hearing them a few more times
he came to the conclusion that that was
just what was the matter, the men
were not i'm good voice the first time
he heard them,

was brought down. Henry Glass re-
ceived several terrible cuts on the head
from the hatchet blade and he ran to
get revolver. David Glass was also
attacked and he received a cash in the
back Of the head.
Henry Glass fired three shots with
his revolver two of them taking effect,
and Collins fell with two bullets in his
abdomen. The other shot missed.
In the meantime the police had been
notified of the Foster incident, and the
greatest efforts were being made to
catch the insane man. 1t was inn
possible to get wind of him, however, in
such short time and he kept his liberty
long enough to get to the Glass home.
His attacks in all the cases appear to
have been simply the result of violent
insanity and without any rational mo-
tive.
The news that Collins was at large
created a good deal of alarm and ex-
citement in Makiki. He was supposed
to be in that part of the city, and the
reports that he had been after weapons
led to a geed deal of nervousness
among housekeepers.
John Collins was a man about thirty
five years old, according to Chief
Thurston of the Fire Department, and
came here four or five years ago from
San Francisco which is supposed to
have been his home He was not mar
ried and so far as is known has no re-
latives here.
He was a member Of the department,
a hoseman, for about a year, about
eight or nine months of that time being
employed at the Makiki station. He
was dismissed from the department on
account of his drinking habits about a
year ago. or perhaps a little longer.
From that time on he seems to have
had no regular employment. He went
from here to Hilo some time ago and
his acquaintances of the Fire Depart
ment were not aware that he had drift
ed to Kauai until they heard about him
yesterday and today
Ben Foster, the first victim of Col
Inns murderOus axe, Is a Guam man
who has lived here a number of years
and has been a hoseman in the Fire
Department for about four years The
men of the Makiki station have a mess
and board themselves. Foster acts as
cook. The cook house is about fifty
feet in the rear of the fire station. Fos-
ter knew Collins well from his previous
connection with the department and
when he asked for cup of coffee, Fos-
ter unhesitatingly gave it, having just
come out to the cook house a few min
utes before to prepare breakfast for
the men of the station, none of whom
were up except the drivers who were
up and about looking after their horses.
Foster was married about a month
ago. His wife is young Portuguese
woman.

TO STOP work
ON THE Fire
AWARDS
Secretary Carter Forwarded
Long Cable to get Some Pos
itiveInfOrmatiOn, but Does not
Succeed,

Secretary Garter has taken a deep in
terest in the matter of getting the fire
claims money here, but he has run
against a great difficulty in getting po-
sitive information from Washington,
and, as a result, work will be suspend
ed upon the transcript of awards, ask
ed for by Secretary Shaw, until certain
doubtful points are cleared up.
After reading j. b. Pratt's message
conveying the information that the
Treasury Department was arranging
to send a disbursing officer with money
and bonds, Mr.. Carter sent the follow
ing cablegram:
Pratt, Washington. Just starting
transcript awards this will cost over
$500; prefer to stop this and have Sec
retary Shaw send here Immediately a
disbursing agent who can bring Hitch
cocks instructions as to regulations for
bonds; such agent can investigate at
torneys charges; prescribe form of sur
render to be attached original certifi-
Gates award; can see necessity for pay
ing out cash, otherwise governments
warrants may have to be discounted
Legislature now in session; Territory
can arrange for agents expenses, also
cost of engraving and sale of bonds
See Shaw and Ryan if plan satisfac-
tory to them. Wire at once and will
stop work on transcript. Is not sale of
bonds a condition precedent to any
payment? If so, claimants may take
a portion"
In answer to the foregoing, Secretary
Carter received the following reply this
morning:r ''Shaw message Governor
answer yours, Pratt"
"Pratts message is not satisfactory
said Mr.. Carter this morning. "I COM
municated with Governor Dole this
morning and learned that he had not
received an additional message from
Secretary Shaw. Until the doubtful
points are cleared up, 1 will stop all
work on the transcript. If a disbursfng
officer is to come, We will not need the
transcript"
