resented

Grief-stricken because of a sad acci-
dent to one of their fellow mobiles the
Shriners of Aloha temple of Honolulu
will enter Los Angeles Thursday with
out their wonted cheerfulness. The
Hawaiian delegation landed in Sar
Francisco Sunday, with R. N. P. Lish-
man, one of the most popular members
of Aloha patrol, unconscious because OF
an accident on board the steamer ST.
IBERIA.
The Friday night before California
was sighted Lishman was pacing the
deck of the Siberia for exercise, when
he tripped and fell over the dead line
which separates the steerage from the
cabin quarters. His head struck the
hard deck of the big steamer with such
force as to render him unconscious.
DR.. Cooper, delegate of Aloha temple,
attended his stricken fellow Shriner
and found him to be suffering from a
concussion of the brain. A high fever
resulted, and Lishman is confined in a
San Francisco hospital, and unless his
recovery is unusually complete he may
never regain his entire mental faculties
The Honolulu delegation, eighty-one
strong, will be the first of the visiting
Shriners to arrive in Los Angeles. Al
first it was thought that they could
obtain quarters at the Angelus, but as
that shostelry was without room to
spare reservations were finally made for
the islanders at the Ohio apartment
house.

the country is having it's troubles hand
