HONOLULU, July 3.--John E. Bush

PARAMOUNT OPENS
IN DECEMBER.
Work of Decorating the
Lower Two Stories
Is Now Under Way

The Fairmont will be opened to the
public in December. The two lower
stories and connections will be ready
to receive guests on that date The
basement will also be ready for use.
The hotel will include, besides $50
living rooms, the beautiful ballroom,
the big foyer, the palm garden, the
grill and the cafe. The original plans
of the decorations, as designed by
Baumgarten, are to be carried out to
the most minute detail. Work on
these decorations will be commenced
today. Although Baumgarten himself,
who had personal supervision of the
decorations. died on the day following
the burning of the hotel, his plans had
been pursued in his Office in New
York. These have been forwarded
here.
The designs, which are of the most
elaborate nature, were planned under
the direction Of Mrs. Oelrichs and they
are to be carried out as she intended
them. The great ballroom, according
to the designs, will far exceed in
beauty anything now on the Pacific
Coast. The foyer is TO be of enormous
proportions.
All the debris of the interior of the
big structure has been thrown into the
street and hauled away and workmen
are now busily engaged in jacking up
the columns of the upper floors. These
were injured by the heat of the fire.
1t was the original Intention of the
Law brothers to open up the entire
hotel on January 1, but as it was found
impossible to get the decorations and
furnishings here by that time. they
decided to open the lower portions as
early as possible.
The manager for the hostelry has
not been decided upon. Henry C.
Bowers, who had been engaged by
the owners to take charge of the hos
telry before the fire, is still in Port
land His contract terminated with
the fire and he is still the manager
of the Hotel Portland. The Laws have
been busy the last few days trying to
select man for the position.

CLAIM THEY HAVE
BEEN SIGHTED.

The refugees encamped in Columbia
square are complaining bitterly that
they have been neglected in the giving
out Of supplies. The site of the camp
is said to be a bad one. The inhabit-
ants Of the tents have been subjected
to several severe drenchings during
the late rains. One woman, who says
that she has read OF what the relief
committee is doing for the homeless
sufferers. claims that Columbia square
has been sidetracked.
The residents of Columbia square
claim that they are probably poorer
than any class of refugees scamped
about the city. why have we been
forgotten" they inquire. I'VE read of
the immense sums of money that have
been donated for the relief of such
people as we, but we receive fewer
supplies, poorer food and less atten-
tion than those located in other camps.
We have been given no clothing or
bedding If we want those luxuries
we must go and buy them. We had
a supply depot here, but 1t was taken
away from us on May 49,"
The people of Columbia square feel
that because of their location they
should be first considered when wood
en- houses are constructed for the bene-
fit of the homeless.
J. W. Lake, superintendent Of Camp
Lake, situated at Market and Hermann
streets, who has been accused of rent
ing wooden houses on the campsite
for money, exhibits an order from
Mayor Schmitz authorizing him to
lease ground for the erection of per
manent housing of his refugees. He
admits having collected SIS from sew
eral people at the rate of SO each for
rent of small houses built under his
supervision. Those who paid say that
they did so of their own free will.
Colonel Lake says: I'VE are not ex-
acting money from any of the refu-
gees. We are, however, taking money
from those who wish to pay, In order
TO defray some OF the expenses of the
camp. Many persons living in my
camp have become wage earners and
are only too willing to contribute to
the maintenance of the camp. 1 have
leased q piece of land from the Lon
don, Paris and American Banking
Company. 1t extends from the inter-
section OF Hermann and Market streets
back TO Reservoir Hill. Here our
campers will have wooden houses and
will be made comfortable. l think the
criticism given me is unjust"

FLOOD CONDITIONS
ARE CRITICAL.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

STOCKTON, July 8. - The flood
waters that are coming down the San
Joaquin are steadily encroaching on
the vast reclaimed island tracts below
Stockton. Twitchell Island is inun-
dated and Venice Island is filing. A
game fight is being made to save parts
of 1t. The levee keeping the water off
the big Levi tract broke this morning,
booming the hundreds of acres. Twit-
chell Island alone contains 5000 acres
A late unconfirmed report states that
Sherman Island is filing with water
from big break. The Levi tract is
on the lower division of Roberts Island,
one of the best reclaimed tracts in the
State. 1t Is feared that the cross levee
may give way and the entire great
island be submerged.
The situation tonight Is critical AL
though the river Is not rising the fact
that 1T does not I'LL rapidly after so
much water has escaped shows that a
large quantity is still coming down
from the mountains. Last night a high
wind lashed the water upon the Fabian
tract into fury. Great waves were
borne across an expanse of three miles
against the Grant line levee. Large
gangs of men worked all night re-
inforcing the levee. The levee held,
but may break at any time.

appeared in smoke.
Yet his house at 911 Ellis street. from

Company of Philadelphia refuses to
pay Henry Payot one cent for the loss
of his trunks.
He has given them until 3 o'clock this
afternoon to settle. If they have not
paid him by that time he will bring suit
in the California courts.
The United Fireman's declares that 1t
will not pay because Henry Payot left
more property in his house than he car
ried away. Payot says the loss of the
goods he attempted to rescue was $4,000.
and that under the policy the United
Fireman's is liable for $4,000.
Henry Payot carried insurance for
$4,000 on his household furniture with
the Fire Association and the United
Fireman's, both of Philadelphia.
When he saw the flames approach his
Ellis-street house he packed two
trunks, thinking he would save his
most valuable possessions. He carried
away in them many precious foreign
collections. These. of course, were de-
stroyed.
He filed his proofs of loss with these
two companies, alleging loss of $500,
the full amount of the policies $4,000
of this was in the United Fireman's. s.
They scaled him down to S1571.50, he
claims, and then offered him settle
ment of $S57.20. Henry Payot said he
would take this rather than fuss about
It, but when he went to get the check
he says that the adjuster, z. NJ Stand
ish, refused to pay over the money say
ing the company was not responsible.
Henry Payot went to Cutie & Frank.
the Pacific Coast agents of both COM
panies. They told him that the settle
ment of losses was entirely out of
their hands. They promised. however
to do all they could for him and they
have arranged consultation with Ad-
juster Standish. Payot has given them
until 3 o'clock this afternoon to come
to an agreement and pay him. If the
money is not forthcoming at that time
he will sue on the clause in his policy
which states that when the insured
goods are removed from a threatened
building and destroyed by fire within
five days the company is liable for the
loss.
