FIRE ALARM BRINGS OUT
4 PICTURESQUE CROWD

An alarm of fire shortly after >
o clock yesterday afternoon from Box
81, sent large and picturesque crowd
scurrying in the direction of King
street and Dowsett lane. There were
hacks and buggies. automobiles and BIZ
cycles, and men, women, and children
on foot and running III the direction
of the place where the alarm was sent
in from.
The fire was in two-story frame
structure at 639 north King street, be-
longing to the Dowsett estate. The
lower story is occupied by I. hanemu-
IA as blacksmith shop, and the up
per story by his family as a residence.
The fire occurred in a front room, a
moss mattress and the bedstead get
ting on fire. KanenEura says that there
was no fire in his blacksmith forge at
all yesterday as he was engaged ON
work not requiring it. Suddenly he
looked up from his work and saw smoke
in the upper part of his building. He
called to his helpers to bring up buck
cts of water and himself rushed up
stairs and carried the burning mattress
out into the yard. The fire was en-
tirely extinguished before the depart
ment arrived. The damage was
nominal
The cause of the fire could not be
determined absolutely. but in all prob
ability it was either through a child
PLAYING with matches, of which there
was some evidence in scattered matches
about the .4oor, or from someone smok-
inc cfgarets.

The fishing huis whose operations
with double boats and long nets in the
Honolulu harbor were recently tabued
by the Superintendent of Public Works
have gone back to Pearl harbor where
they had been operating before coming
here.
The action of the Superintendent IN
stopping this kind of fishing in the
harbor has given the greatest satisfac-
ton along the waterfront, and among
those who have in the past been IN
the habit of fishing with hook and line
along the wharves The matter has
been one of current conversation ever
since the publication of the fact that
fishing with nets had been stopped.
There is presented herewith an IL
lrstration of one of the two boats
which has been operating in this way.
This is the boat owned and operated
by the japanese hui. It is the largest
of the two craft and has by far the
most extensive spread of nets. The
cut shows how the net is coiled up,
one half of its length on each of the
two boats, which, joined together con
stitutes the fishing craft.

D0RAGHEY 10 TALK ID WOMEN

Little. Rock, Nov, 13. Gov. elect Donahgey is now one of the busiest, if not the busiest man in the stete, for every mail brings him piles of letters to hisConway home, from solici- tous friends. the majority of whom have some favors to ask.
 He spent the day in Little Rock yesterday attending to pri- vate business, and at the same looking after information on which he will touch in his first message to the legislature. Gov. Donaghey denies the report that he has purchased a home in Lit tie Rock, saying he will board while in the city and maintain his residence at Conway. Gov. Donaghey was called upon dur ing the week by a delegation from the Arkansas Federation of Women's Clubs and importuned to add his influence to the movement started by the women of the state to preserve the old capitol building. Gov. DoEaghey says he referred the ladies to the legislature, saying that he would do what he could to as- sist them unless it was shown that 1t would not be to the best interst of the state to do so.
