while I was defeated, yet many
grand things were achieved which must
bear fruit in the future. We have
learned who will oppose the interests of
the whole people and what measures
they will resort to to defeat the same.
We have learned who of the many
political parties in our community
really care for the best interests of the
people and are willing to make sacri-
fees and work for them, and also who
we can trust and put forward for our
future leaders Nearly our whole press
have covered themselves with credit,
in fact glory, for their strong, steady
work.
Such a power welded in reform
movement is mighty factor which any
city should be proud of. 1t is a corner
stone of our credit and of our pros
perity.
Surely since rich corporations have
elected themselves to control the in
terests of the state as we'll as to direct
the suffrages of the people we have a
formidable enemy to overcome. Yet
with our press leading and the best ele-
ments of our community following the
glad day of reform must come. True
reforms come slowly, but they come.

SOLDIERS HOME VOTE
is THE SUBJECT OF
SLIGHT DISCUSSION

An informal discussion of the vote at
the Soldiers home has occurred among
attorneys who are interested in local
politics, but no formal action has been
taken and none is expected.
Reports that the law committee of
the non-partisan county central COM
mittee had taken up the question and
possibly would decide to begin pro-
ceedings which might result in throw
ing out the Sawtelle vote on the ground
that the Soldiers home is located on
government territory are not correct.
Should the Soldiers home vote be
thrown out it would result in the cleo
ton of at least two of the non-partisan
candidates, but no action will be taken
by the county non-partisan law COM
mittee.
Within a few days the county nom
partisan committee will give up it's
rooms in the Merchants Trust build

tanned in nominal manner.

SEVERAL FIRES
CAUSE A PANIC
INCENDlARY BLAZES STARTED
IN NEW YORK
Vaudeville Performer Is Arrested on
Suspicion of Being the Man
Who Applied the
Torch
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-One woman is
dead, a man is in hospital suffering
from severe burns, 1000 persons fled
from their homes in panic and thou
sands more passed a sleepless night as
result of series of incendiary fires in
the two blocks bounded by Sixtieth and
SiXty-first streets and Columbus and
West End avenues early today.
Scores of persons whose live were
endangered by the confiagration were
rescued by firemeH In all there were
five fires, every one Of them incen-
diary, between midnight and 3 o'clock
this morning.
The woman who lost her life was
Mrs. Caroline Swain, 70 years old,
whose home adjoins one of the build
ings which was fired. She died Of heart
failure, induced by fright.
Adrian Hopkins, in a hospital with
his hands and feet severely burned as
result of climbing down a redhot
fire escape, is seriously injured.
The rapidly succeeding fires the
crowds of evicted tenants and the ter
rifying rumors spreading through the
neighborhood, with the constant APP
pearance and temperance of the fire
engines and the big squads of police
raised the people throughout the Vicin-
ity to high pitch of excitement which
did not lessen until daylight brought a
measure of reinsurance that the in
cendiarism was stopped.
Frank Morris of Boston, a vaudeville
performer, was arrested on suspicion
of setting the fires. The police alleged
that in each Of the buildings tenants
averred that when they fled from Their
rooms Morris was the first man they
met.
When Morris was arraigned In court
Fire Marshal Prial expressed the opin.
ion that he was mentally irresponsible
and asked the magistrate to commit the
boy to Bellevue hospital for five days
for examination. The magistrate, how.
ever. refused and held Morris In 5000
bail for further examination.

Unless Tried at the Coming Election
Expensive Apparatus May BE
Useless for an Indef-
mite Period

The voting machines which have so
far proved an expensive investment
for Los Angeles may be used after
ali at the coming city election.
II additional tickets are filed be-
tween now and next wednesday at
midnight the machines will be useless
on account Of the bullxiness Of the ball
lots. The limit has now been reached.
At the city clerks office IL Is under
stood that an independent ticket will
be filed by petition.
Tickets which have already been
filed are the Republican, the Demo-
cratic, the non-partisan, the Public
Ownership and the Socialist. Besides
these there must be a blank column
for candidates that have not been
named by a convention or a petition,
and column for charter amendments.

This makes total of seven columns.
all that can be accommodated on the
machines.
Unless the machines are used at the
coming election, city hall attaches say,
there is not much likelihood of their
being used soon.
Blanket tickets, such as are sub
contain too many names and parties
to make 1t possible to find keys on
the machine for all candidates.
City elections in Los Angeles gener-
ally bring forth more tickets than the
machines can accommodate. At small
er elections such as the annexation
election November IL it is Impractical
to use the machines because Of the
expense of transportation to and from
the polls.
Expensive to Move
1t costs S. to move the machines and
there are seventeen. The polling places
are widely scattered.
Originally thirteen machines were
bought for $500 each, city and county
dividing the expense. Two years ago
for a test they were used at an cleo
ton. The machine in the Ninth ward
broke down and the voting was fin
ished in the old-fashioned way. After
ward the city and county officials,
after conference. decided that the
machines were worth while and bought
fifty-two additional machines each,
making a total of H.
About this time the United States
Voting Machine company sold similar
machines to Detroit for $500 each, or
5000 each less than Los Angeles paid
for them.
Voucher Held Up
Because of this difference of $40, 800
the mayor has refused to sign the
voucher for $36,400.
Rust attacked the machines while
stored in the city hall basement, then
the city paid storage charges of $1.5O
per machine per month and now a
temporary building has been put up
alongside the court house on New
High street where they will remain in
idleness.

KINNEY IS REQUESTED
TO HELP GOVERNMENT

The following letter, whose text ex-
day:
February 10, 1906.
w. A. Kinney, Esq, Chairman, Demo
cratic Executive Committee, Homo
lulu, Oahu.
Dear Sir: For your information l
quote section 80, chapter 10, of the
County Act of 1905, as follows:
"The precincts and polling places
established by the laws of the Terri
tory for the election of senators and
representatives, shall constitute the
precincts and polling places for the
election of county officers; provided,
however, that in places where, under
the existing division of precincts,
voters in different districts vote at the
same polling place, the Governor is
hereby required to change the polling
places within each district so as to al
low the voters of such district to vote
within the district in which they are
registered. -
In accordance with the foregoing
section, it will be necessary to change
some of the election districts, and it is
desirable to do this before the differ
ent political parties hold their primary
elections.
| Will you, therefore, he kind enough
to advise me, not later than March 81,
1906, what changes are necessary, in
your judgment, to conform with the
foregoing section7
At the same time, will you be kind
enough TO advise me what, if any
precinct changes should be made to
conform to such district changes as you
may suggest.
| shall also be glad to learn If there
are any other precinct changes that
you would suggest for the greater con
venience of the voters, bearing in mind
that the county election for county Off
GERS will take place this year, on the
same day and at the same time, as She
elections for delegates, senators and
! representatives. Yours truly,
(Signed) A. L. G. ATKINSON,
Acting Governor of Hawaii.

be held early in July, to name dele

bATHEHS OFF MOANA
SAVED BY 4 CANOE

Two young men, strangers in Homo
lulu, had an experience in the surf of
the Moana Hotel yesterday about noon
which they will hardly wish to repeat.
They were in a perilous state oc ex-
haustion while clinging to surfboard
when a canoe manned by Chief Clerk
Jeffrey of the Moana Hotel and Mr..
Harvey Of the hotel buffet reached
them. They were taken aboard and
conveyed to the shore.
Mr. H. s. Wood of st. Paul, Mimi,
and a young companion named Ryan
of Chicago, went surfing about 1890.
They took a heavy board with them.
After reaching a point about opposite
the end of the Moana pier, Mr.. Wood
started off by himself. There was a
heavy outsweep of the surf at that
time, and Mr.. Wood was being carried
out to the deep places faster than he
thought When about hundred yards
from the end of the pier, where the
water is probably twelve to fifteen feet
deep, Mr.. Wood found that he was be-
coming exhausted.
He called for help and Mr.. Ryan who
still had the board showed it along and
padded to Mr.. Woods assistance.
:
Ryan had to depend upon the board
for his own buoyancy. On reaching
Mr.. Wood the latter caught hold of
the board and lay on his stomach on
the larger end.
Meanwhile an elderly gentleman rails
ed the alarm and ran shouting to the
shore to have boat manned. Sew
eral ladies called to the only other male
bather, and he swan from near the
shore to the aid of the men. Grasping
the end of the board with one hand
and swimming with the other he pre-
vented the board being carried further
out to sea.
A large outrigger canoe was manned
by the two men named and bringing 1t
alongside the two luckless bathers were
drawn in, and the third who had gone
to their assistance swan back to shore.
The incident caused no end of eX-
citement and the pier-end was crowd
ed with people who watched the rescue.

SEARCH FUR
INFLAMMATION

In the matter of the request for a
| refund of suventy-fvc per cent. of the
| customs dues OF the Territory, the
House Committee ON Territories, which
has the matter In hand at Washington,
is evidently going very fully into Ha-
waiian affairs. This will doubtless be
a good thing, independently of whether
the refund be granted or not. One Of
the things of which the Territory has
heretofore had to complain has been
ignorance of Hawaii and Hawaiian
concerns, not among mainland people
| alone bu, in the Congress itself.
Yesterday Territorial Auditor Fisher
received cablegram from j. X. Gait,
| one of the business mem delegation,
| asking him for the amount paid out in
| warrants by the Territorial govern.
ment, and the various departments
upon which the warrants were drawn.
At the Secretary office another cable.

this time, asking for the actual acre.

from +. A. Mclnerney asking what

United States government, for naval,
military and other purposes.
Clearly, the House Committee on Ter
ritories wants the whole thing. The
Hawaiian business men are there ask.
ing for money, and the members of the
committee want to act intelligently
upon the request. To that end the in
vestigation is taking wide range
| The congressman want to know what
the income of the Territory is, what il
is spent for, and who gets it. Also, il
apparently wants to know all that
there is to know about the resources
of the Islands. 1t is kind of informa-
tion that certainly will not hurt Ha-
| waii, and the sort that will be of the
most practical value if most widely dis
seminated. The information asked for
in the cablegrams has been secured, of
course, and sent to the members of the
delegation in Washington.

PRISONERS
PAROLEO

The prison parole law passed at the
last session of the Legislature has been
made effective. The first paroles un-
der the law were signed by the Act
Ing Governor yesterday. and the very
first man parolcd was Chcong Kwai.
serving a sentence OF fve years In
oahu jail for assault with weapon.
Cheong Kwai has been a model pris-
oner. and has only a few months of
his term to serve.
Immediately after his parole was
signed. the Acting Governor signed
paroles for Tagami, a Japanese serving
tive years for assault upon his wife
with knife, this assault having been
made under great provocation, and for
All Wah. also five-year prisoner,
whose term will expire in June, and
who was sent up for highway robbery.
All Wah was on the police force as a
detective prior TO his conviction, and
Il was said by High Sheriff Henry yes-
terday that his commitment to prison
smacked something of a job put up
for revenge upon him although II had
been impossible TO establish the fact.
At all events. the three paroles Wee
delivered at once to the High Sheriff
upon their signature, and the men We're
properly instructed and released under
them yesterday. Among other things,
they were made to promise to break
no law of the Territory, lest their
parole be forfeited and themselves
made liable to arrest, and to refrain
from the use of intoxicating licuors.
Secretary Atkinson makes good In this.
incidentally. The Secretary, who is
now the Acting Governor, was very
prominent in his advocacy of the pass
age of the parole law, and one of his
points was that paroled prisoners
should be compelled to refrain IN nm
drinking. II is drink that causes more
than half the crime in Hawaii, as else
where.
In recommending these three men for
parole, the Board of Prison Directors
calls attention to the fact that the law
is new here, and therefore largely in
the nature of an experiment. The
Board, therefore, has picked out for
parole three prisoners whose terms are
about to expire, and who have receiv-
ed assurances that they will be given
employment upon getting out of prison.
and will therefore not be liable to be-
come public charges. And the Board
makes the further point that, in its
view. 1t is wise to begin the trial of
the law with men who have only n
little time left TO serve-evidently un-
der the apprehension that, II the law
is a mis- AXE, the error OF its enforce
ment will be lessened IL the enforce
ment is only a little one.
