naval station, expresses the opinion
that it will be given greater attentIC II
along the route than one from an III
dividual and will, in consequence Of
being in the nature of an official in
quiry, he rushed to its destination.
1t was at ten o'clock yesterday MORN
ing that the Advertiser filed a third
message, no answers having been re-
ceived from those filed Wednesday
night This was sent the round the
world route to New York to the agent
of the Associated Press there with ir-
structions to get the news at whatever
cost
THE MATTER OF LOSSES.
AS time passes the danger of severe
or great financial loss to the banks
and money institutions in San Fra Il
cisco grows and conjectures are many
and varied. In that part of the city
believed to be most affected are the
largest and strongest financial insti-
tutions on the Pacific coast, possibly
as strong as many in New York, and
the reference is not to the possible loss
through shrinkage of values but by
actual disappearance of the money re-
serve that is kept always within their
VAULTS. II mas DtGn W1TCu lildI the
land was sinking and it is the Theory
of Doctor Bishop that some such dis
aster has occurred. That being as
sumed the great vaults of the ranks
and the trust companies would go
down with the sweep.
In the district is the Mercantile
Trust Co., Canadian Bank of Com
merce, Bank of California, Merchants
Exchange. Nevada Bank, Safe De-
post Building. Haywood building, Amer
lean Surety Co, Brown Bros, Cation
Bell and Co, Anglo-California Bank,
Union Trust Co, Crocker Woolworth
Bank, German. Savings Bank, Trans
Atlantic and North German Insurance
Co., and the new Baldwin building.
The banking institutions keep re-
serve cash fund of twenty-five per
cent of their total deposits and taking
the Mercantile Trust Co.'S deposits as
criterion, that institution having an
average of nearly fifty-three million
dollars, the combined reserve fund
would make an amount to conjure

with.
The vaults of these companies are,
perhaps, as well constructed as any
in the world but they were not built
with a view TO resisting the effects of
landsides or dashes into the water
and it is said by persons competent to
judge, that directly the earth began
sliding the buildings and the vaults
would go with the soil.
SOME OF THE MADE GROUND.
Anthony Richley, of Hilo. but now
here on business, was one of the
builders of the Palace hotel. He says
the soil there was very uncertain AMI
that some of the piles were driven
through quicksand a distance of nine
ty feet. There was a ledge Of rock
and the apex seemed to have been
about where the Call building stood
and from there it sloped toward the
hay. The foundation of the Palace
hotel was Thirteen feet at the base and
required eleven million bricks in Its
construction.
Mr.. Richiey says he never saw a
finer and more substantial structure;
the idea that it could ever be DESTROY
ed by an earthquake was furthest from
the contractor n1liiu LOf IT was DullL
with an idea of withstandfng the
severest shocks. But a landslide was
not in the philosophy of the builders;
it would have made no difference if
it had been, for nothing could have
prevented the building going when the
time came.
AS to the vaults in the big buildings
Mr. Richley says they were built for
utility and safety; safety from fire
and burglars but, like the foundation
of the Palace, landslides had no con-,
sideration from the contractors or The
builders.
In many of the banks it is the Gus
tom to handle the twenty-dollar pieces
much as a farmer does his corn,
shoveling them into bags and weigh :.
ing instead of counting the pieces.
Whether or not this is the present GUS
tom is of no consequence. for money
in bags would slide as readily as if
loose on the floor of the vault. In
some of the buildings the foundations
went full forty feet below the sidewalk

cation of the San Francisco office, and
of the clerks home, could easily have
framed the theory upon which the
dispatch was based. The total lack of
deffniteness in the message shows that
it could not have come from San
Francisco at all. At the Japanese
consulate nothing has been heard from
Japan or the coast by any route.
Manila seemed to have been as much
in the dark as Honolulu and could
give no information as to the extent
of the damage. One rumor run down
was to the effect that Postmaster
Pratt had received a wire from New
York saying no information was OBJ
tainable. But it was a mere rumor;
much to his regret he received no mes
sage though he would liked to for the
reason that his wife and daughter had
advised him on Monday that they
would leave for the islands that day.
1t has been suggested that the cause
of the delay is possibly the destruction
of the instruments in the cable office
In San Francisco and the irnpossiblli*y
of replacing them Immediately. 1t is
understood that there are no instru-
ments kept in the station at the Gift
Rouse anu Inere may De no QupIlca eeS
in the city. There is nothing of the
kind kept in the cable station at Wal
kiki SO that if the local office were to
be destroyed by any means the same
delay would be caused mere. With
this therry in mind some of the citi-
zens have been grea,.y comforted;
there is no reason why it should not
be as good one as any SO far al
yanced.
1t is probable that the last direct
message received here was that from
William Alexander to his father Pro-
fessor Alexander. The son is engaged
in an office of mining company ami
before leaving here seven years ago
arranged a private code with his
mother. Translated it meant safe
and well' and at 1929 Wednesday
morning, Honolulu time, that code
word was received. 1t was marked as
having been sent from San Francisco
at Gas a. m.
Referring to the message sent py

The Whole City Waiting
AnxiousIy for Any
Sure News.

The continued delay throughout
Wednesday night and Thursday and
the entire absence of authentic infor-
NATION from the mainland served only
to increase the tension and many la
dies with rela tives in the doomed city
were on the verge of nervous prOstra-
ton fearing dire results to those of
their blood. The fact that some of the
Cancelled their orders for berths did
not tend to lessen the anxiety of the
people who were to remain but rather
did it intensity the feeling that the
disaster was greater than at first re-
ported
Theories were as thick as hairs on
a dog, and they are still thick and the
one with the most optimistic veneer
is what is most sought after. Cable
grams in plenty were filed in the local
cable Office, but those for San Fran
cisco direct We're refused and any for
the round the world route We're ac-
cepeed only at sender's risk.
Early yesterday G. w. Smith, pres
fdent of the Merchants Association of
Honolulu, sent a written request to
Admiral Lyon that he transmit a mes
sage to the Navy Department at
Washington asking for the fullest in
formation. The Admiral granted this
and formulated the message into
code word. At this writing there has
been no answer received.
Alexander & Baldwin cabled a SINH
lar request to their New York house
and placed no limit on the number of
words which the answer might con
tain. Like Mr. Smith the fullest in
formation was desired and cost was
not to be considered. The Star seems
to have jumped to the conclusion that
New York was in touch with San
Francisco because Manager Kishi, of
the Yokohama Specie Bank, had re-
ceived the following:
Our San Francisco branch probably
burned down; clerk probably saved"
On its face this is a mere conjecture
The New York office, knowing the To-

COD LIVER OIL.

1t almost makes you
sick to think of it, but it
isn't nearly as bad as it
used to be. The improved
method of refining it
makes it much easier to
take, and when made into
SCOTS Emulsion almost
every one can take it.
Most children like it and
all children that are not
robust are benefited by it.
When the doctor says
i" Take cod liver OIL" he
generally means SCOTS
Emulsion; ask him if he
doesn't. They know it is
more easily digested and
better than the plain Oil.

and they were crisscrossed with rail-
road iron. He says the older buildings
have been settling for years and this
bears out the theory of a slide.
Now to gather the consequences. In
the event of the great mass of earth
constituting the floor of the city from
the waterfront to Second or Third street
going into the water, the effect on the
city across the bay would be identical
with that of tidal wave and the ship
ping would be among the greatest suf-
ferers. Down in South San Francisco
the land is of a different character:
it is more solid and for that reason,
probably, the rolling mills We're built
there.
INCIDENTS IN HONOLULU.
Psychology had it's innings in one of
the primary schools here on Wednesday
and for a time there was almost a panic
among the little Hawaiian girls who
knew something had happened but
were in ignorance of the real reason of
the whispered conversations between
the teachers. They saw climbing up
over Tantalus an immense black cloud
and to them it had it's meaning, a
meaning which they could not explain
nor would they De quiet for many min
utes after it had made it's appearance.
Yesterday when the first whistle blew
the announcement of the sighting of
a steamer the public jumped to the
conclusion that it was the resumption
of cable communication and when the
whistling stopped at the third blast
there was keen disappointment felt on
all sides. When the steamer was re-
ported as the Nebraskan it was be-
lieved report of submarine disturb
ance would be made but the officers
said there was nothing unusual trans
PRED on the voyage. This seems
strange in view of the fact that the
record at the U. S. Magnetic Station
on Wednesday showed greater seismic
action than has been recorded in years.
While looking upon the dark side of
the affair it would be we'll for nervous
people to keep in mind the fact that
Honolulu is not New York and that
there are messages from the largest
cities in the world asking other cities

GREAT GATHERING
OF YOUNG PEOPLE

The quarterly rally of the young
church last night was a fine success.
There We're fully three hundred pres
ent, representing almost all the
churches in the city. On the platform
tan church; Rev DR.. Heber Jones of
Korea. acting pastor of the First M. E.
church: Paul Super. secretary of Y. M.
C. A; the Hon. M K. Nakuina, and
Mr. Wong Hin, secretary of the union.
The president Of the union, Mr. Peter
E. Tosh, presided. In answer to the
roll call each society responded by ris-
ing in a body and repeating together
deavor Society of Kakaako Mission was
we'll represented, although members of
the union and the Epworth League of
the Episcopal church were present as
members of the union for the first
time and made a fine showing.
| The first address was by Mr.. Paul
! Super. 1t was practical, clear and
straightforward, the manly utterance
| OF manly man. The last address was
| by DR.. Heber Jones and rang as
| clarion. clear and strong, melting to
| higher motives and loftier purposes in
| the investment of our lives. The
| speaker showed with precision and
sound logic that Nothing that alto
gether dies suffices mans just destiny"
and that honor and shame are not at
tached to any condition, but depend on
the acting well or i'll our part, what
ever that may be.
A specially pleasing feature of the
meeting was the singing of the young
/ ladies of Kawaiahao Seminary and the
boys of the Kamehameha School
The banners for attendance were
awarded to the Portuguese c. E. So
ciety and the Junior Society of Japa-
reese Makiki c. E Society.
| The young people of the city are to
be congratulated on this most success
| full inauguration of the fall work. The
| large attendance, the exceptional char
acter of the addresses and the fine
/ singing made it a notable occa sion and
promises great things for the future
meetings.

Family Discipline.

Congressman John Lamb thinks that
the way to break up hazng at the in
stitutions OF learning is to make a ju-
dicious application, when occasion de-
mands, of good hickory switch. That
is nanifestly an impracticable remedy
al the colleges, for many of the college
students are too old to be logged, but If
the switch We're more freely used at
rome there would be fewer outbreaks
at college. The family is our great
training school for the young, and it is
one OF the most serious defects in our
modern civilization that family discipline
has become more and more lax: that
children are given too many privileges;
that there is too little exercise of pa
rental authority and too great disposi-
ton OH the part OF parents to commit
the moral as well as intellectual training
of their children to the public schools.
Moral instruction in school is good, but
moral instruction at home is indspensa-
BILE to the best development of charac-
ter. No teacher can take the place of
father and mother, especially mother and
in this new year the best resolution
which parents can make Is that they
viii determine by the help of God to
give their boys and girls such dlsclp-
line as the Word of God prescribes and
enjoins. II they will make this resolu-
ton. and stick 10 it, school discipline and
college discipline will be very much sim
plifed, and colleges outbreaks ana in
subordination Will be scarcely known at
all
