The following from son of the Rev.
Hiram Bingham, appears in The Ma
ton:
To the Editor of The Nation:
Sir: Perhaps some of your readers
will be interested in the enclosed Clip
ping from ''the oldest newspaper west
of the Rockies (the Friend, published
at Honolulu, for December, 1909,
which gives in very graphic language
the result of American government in
Hawaii. Yours truly,
HIRAM BINGHAM.
Cambridge, Mass, December q, 1908.
eOf the appalling state of our last
LegisIature-of the theft, robbery,
graft and wholesale larceny of which
they all, with but few personal ex-
ceptions. were guilty; of the dishon-
esty of its members Of all ranks: of the
manner in which the slightest services
were paid for at twice, thrice. and four
times their value, and money abstract
ed from the public till on no pretext
at all-our Federal grand jury has
given us splendid Though for the
community a serry) account. Space
will not permit US here even to sum-
marize their findings. Suffice it to say
that the annals of no municipal gov
eminent of the mainland can show
page more dark than that writ by the
men we sent to make our laws and
spend the money they held in trust
for the community. 1t Is a great pity
that the Federal court cannot mete out
justice to these, for we had as we'll
present them with their liberty as try
them before such juries as the Terri
torial courts are producing at present.
Look at the Jones murder trial.
Every white man is, on one technical
ity or another, to be excused, and
Jones to be tried by a jury as irlcon-
petent to try the simplest case as d
class from kindergarten. On their YER
diet he will be set free, or the predic-
ton of every thinking man in Homo
lulu will prove untrue. Such is trial
by jury in Hawaii!'

Paukos
Chicago.-Fire broke out recently
during the afternoon in the Masonic
Temple. a 20 story skyscraper. one
square east Of the Iroquois theater.
Owing to the fact that upwards of
1000 people occupy the offices and
stores In the giant structure the fire
caused great excitement.
The series of elevators surrounding
the rotunda in the center Of the build
ing continued to run while the smoke
and flames issued from the windows
in the fifth story, where the fire orig
mated. The people were removed
from the upper hoors as rapidly as
possible.
Great crowds Of spectators quickly
surrounded the temple, being drawn
from State street and adjoining thor
oughfares. The sight Of the majestic
structure through the clouds Of smoke
and flames was one to be remembered.
Firemen were summoned by an
alarm automatically sent In from the
rooms In which the fire began. The
iremen quickly made connection with
the stationary standpipe In the build
ing. Immediately tons OF water food
ed the floors where the smoke and
blaze were thickest. The danger was
increased by the suspected presence
Of a quantity Of chemicals which oc-
cupants declared we're stored near the
place where the flames originated.
Occupants Of the building. warned
by the suffocating clouds Of smoke
that arose from the rotunda and pen
etrated every corridor. lost no time In
making efforts for safe exits. Guards
were stationed at each elevator land
ing on every floor and the panic
stricken people were hurried from the
building.
The origin Of the fire was in an ex.
p!osion Of chemicals In an Office on the
fifth floor. The explosion was suf.

and below, but was unheard by hun
dreds Of other persons in the vast

COAL MINE EXPLOSION NEAR
CHEsWICK, PENNSYLVANIA.
All Avenues Of Escape for the Work.
men We're Blocked Impossible to
Make Quick Rescue Explosion
Sounded Like q Thunder Roar All
Help Possible Sent to The Mine.

Pittsburg Jan. 26.-Between 1876 ant
$50 men were entomed by an explosion
in the shaft Of the Harwick Coal com
pany near Cheswick.
None Of them had been rescued a
noon, and 1t is believed that many Of
them are were either killed outright by
the explosion or have been suffocatet
by the gas.
Two hundred men are at work tryine
to liberate the men imprisoned inside
About 200 men are employed at the
mine. I50 working inside land the re
mainder on the tipple. With a loud
report like a thunderclap the wood
work Of the tipple gave way.
The shaft was filled with rocks and
earth completely shutting off all means
of escape for those in the mine.
Whether the explosion Occurred al
the farthest extremity Of the mine and
killed the men by concussion OF
whether it occurred nearer the shaft
and imprisoned the men is not known.
There have been no means as yet OF
finding the exact nature Of the disaster
and the number of men killed. If the
main entrance can not be cleaned ou,
so that the men can get fresh air ali
will have hae perished in the course OF
a few hours. Help was summoned
from all sources available and as many
men are assisting in the work Of the
rescue as can conviently work here.
Half dozen men working near the
mouth Of the pit, on the triple, were
caught in the wreckage and number
were seriously injured.
Superintendent George Sheets, as
soon at he heard OF the accident, tele'
phoned to Cheswick and Springdale fol
assistance. Cans of workmen were
sent in responses and physicians have
rushed to the scene to take care Of the

Albany. The president expressed great
interest in the case and regretted that
he could not suggest clemency with

President Roosevelt to Sir Thomas
Upton and to Mrs. Lynch, who has
suffered bitterly since her husband's e
arrest. He also made q pathetic ap
