Dwy, a well-known farmer, dove his
horse on the New Haven tracks near

onto the tracks when he heard a train
approaching and drove the animal at

WANTS GOVERNOR TO

Requests To Travel On
Transports Must Be
Approved By Frear

If any of the Territorial officers
want to exercise their privilege OF
travelling on the United States trans
ports, they will have to see Governor
Frear first and obtain his approval OF
their applications.
The Governor this morning received
6 letter from Adjutant General and
Acting Secretary Of War Ainsworth,
requesting that in the future all ap-
plications for transportation on the
Government transports have the ap-
proval of the Territorial Executive.
1t was further requested that when
cable replies are wanted to such ap-
plications, it be shown first that the
replies are prepaid. This is on ac-
count of the fact that in some in
stances officials have cabled> their re-
quests, implying that they wanted
cabled replies, but when such have
arrived, the officials refused to pay for
them.

Gently. The steamer that is available

which the fires were. and it is quite
evident that each was started sepa-
rately, 1t seems probable that the
person who did the job was afraid that
the kerosene would explode almost in

getaway before he saw that the fire

have been a green hand in the noble
art of incendiarism or he would very
easily have been able to make a COM

So far no one seems to be able to
fathom the mystery as to who could
have been the responsible party. 1t

The Government kerosene ware
house in Kewalo was set on fire early
yesterday morning and general
blaze of the most tremendous proper
tions was averted only by the great
est of luck. The fire was without
doubt of an incendiary origin and is
enveloped in considerable mystery,
The fire was discovered at 1853
o'clock yesterday morning and an
alarm was sent by telephone from the
Government stables. The fire depart
Jnent responded with its usual alac-
rity. Fires were found in two sepa-
rate places, both in the main building.
On the lower floor, where about 100
cases of star" kerosene oil belonging
o the Standard Oil Co. was stored, the
fire had been started right in the mid
lie of the pile of cases which reached
from the floor to the ceiling. So
fierce was the blaze that the wooden
boxes in which the tins containing the
oil were consumed and the stopper on
The top of the cans melted off COM
pletely. This is Gil of the $50 degree
test, and it is considered a very fine
testimonial to its quality that it did
not explode wnen subjected to the
fierce heat.

later, the kerosene must have eXplod-

not the slightest doubt but that the
fire was caused by some incendiary-
The most mysterious feature of the
affair is that the record book, in
which record is kept of all the oil
rntering, stored and taken from the
premises, has disappeared. This book
was kept in the desk which was partly
burned, but no trace can be found of
it, and as all the other books in the
desk, some of which were far more
exposed to the Are, have been found,
or at least parts of them, it seems that
the parties who started the fire stole
the record book and then set fire to
The place in order to conceal the theft.
When one considers the highly in
flammable nature of the products
stored in the warehouse it seems
nothing less than miracle that the
entire place was not destroyed. The

which were in part consumed stood
is charred and the ceiling above them
is blistered. There is, however, no
