had been held a prisoner for twelve

She says she is the fifty-second wo-

pretenses and held a prisoner by
Fender. Broderick declares he was
forced to batter down the door of
the shack in which the nurse was
confined to rescue her.

CANE LOADER THAT
WOULD NOT LOAD

H. s. Wood, of ST. Paul, was among
the departing passengers on the S. S.
Sierra yesterday. Mr.. Wood has been
in Hawaii for some little time con-
Quoting a series of interesting expert
ments for the American Derrick and
Hosting Company of St. Paul at the
Waialua plantation. This company
thought that they had solved the mat
ter of a practical cane loader and spent
a large amount of money at Waialua
in order to prove that their scheme
was not a success. The only result so
far is a large number of derricks about
the Waialua fields, but Mr.. Wood
thinks that he has learned enough in
his experiments to invent a machine
that will work. He will develop this
idea in st. Paul and return to Honolulu
again to introduce his patent to the
planters.

SPITE WORK NOW
SUPPOSED CAUSE
Of TUESDAYS FIRE

There will be meeting of the Board
of Trustees of Punahou College today
to decide about rebuilding the Presi-
dent s house, which was burned early
yesterday morning. The indications
are that rebuilding will be decided
upon.
Little credence is given the theory
of spontaneous combustion. President
Griffiths says that he and one of the
trustees went through the building at
six clock Monday evening and saw no
waste or oil about. A japanese, who
had orders to keep the building free of
combustibles at night, says that all
such things had been removed. There
was nothing there to set itself on fire.
Some of the Punahou people think that
the burning of the President s house,
like that of Mr.. Waldron, was due to
the enmity of some citizen laborers to
Contractor Campbell, the chief employer
of Asiatic carpenters here.
The boy students of Oahu College
turned out and kept the dormitories
from catching fire until relieved by the
fremen. The boys worked splendidly.
Fine discipline was shown, not only by
them but by the employees whose busi-
ness it was to get out and attach, the
college hose. Everything of that sort
was done according to previous direc-
tions.
1t is likely that special care will be
given the dormitories, not only now but
after completion. When the buildings
ire occupied watchmen will probably be
1ad to patrol the halls all night. There
nay also be a system of fire escapes.

Matter Now Up to the
Union Feed Company
for Settlement.

From the present outlook it seems
to be doubtful if the Mahuka site will
be available for the Federal building
on account of the hitch which has oc-
Cured in the opening of Bishop street.
The matter seems to hinge on the Cal
ifornia Feed Co., the directors of which
will hold a meeting today to make
their final decision on the matter The
and the matter is now in the hands Of
Acting Governor Atkinson for action.
1t is understood, on the best of au-
thority, that Judge H E. Cooper, repre-
senting the Irwin interests in the mat
ter of the Palace Square site, has been
In correspondence with the Treasury
department and has made an offer OF
that property in case the Mahuka deal
falls through. When asked about the
matter last night over the telephone
Judge Cooper refused to have anything
to say on the subject. other people at
interest could not be found.
Tt is understood that the government
has been offered the property on which
the Pacific Tennis Club courts are To-
Gated or the whole block. including the
site now occupied by the Opera House.
This is the site which was originally
favored by Governor Carter, when H.
A. Taylor, acting as the agent of the
Treasury department, made his choice
of the locations which were offered for
his selection some months ago.
