Oahu College Pumping Station
Burned Yesterday
Morning.

Shortly before five o'clock yesterda,
morning an explosion of gasoline oc
/ Cured at the pumping station of Oahl
College, Punahou, which was followed
! by fire that soon destroyed the build
ing. People heard the report of tht
| explosion at a great distance.
Frank Barwick, superintendent CT
| the grounds, and Harry Wootten, the
pump engineer, with a gang of men
had been engaged all through the
| night in repairing a break in the water
main between the pump and the tank
Water from the leak had filed the well
pit about half way up and the seepage
pump was at work to clear it. ME-.
Barwiek was just going to enter the
pit when the explosion came.
There was insurance of $4,000 on the
building with the Hawaiian Trust Co.
This covers the loss and the only harm
to the college is the suspension of it's
own water service, but as connection
with the city mains was readily avail
able the damage from this source. will
not be serious.
Assistant Chief Deering is quoted as
saying that the fire department was
notified at 4:45 o'clock. 1.-The lady who
telephoned was living in the vicinity
of the pumping station and had her
attention attracted to the fire by the
explosion. She did not know where
the fire was beyond that it was some
where on the college grounds. Chief
Thurston started out in his buggy and
ordered No. 8 engine out from the Ma
kiki station. When the Chief and the
engine arrived on the scene the build
ing was practically down, but a hose
was connected with the flydrant across
the street, and the fire was soon ex-
tinguished.'
c. II. Kluegel, Assistant Superin-
tendent of Public Works, has a diff
ferent story. He said yesterday, on
seeing the report in an afternoon
paper:
Il live directly opposite the pump
ing station and seeing the fire after
the explosion at once telephoned to
the fire department. The message
was heard distinctly and acknowl-
edged. I do not see why, as this re-
port says was the case, the firemen
should have waited until Chief Thurs
ton started out in his buggy and or
dered No. engine out from the Ma
kiki station
1T was ten minutes before the fire.
men arrived. They should have gone
out from Makiki station without wait
ing for Chief Thurston."
1t should take the firemen about |
ninety seconds to make the run from
Makiki station to the college grounds I

Recently Senator Crane, of Massa-

has become great battle-ground, one

for unpledged delegates The Senator
spent several days in Boston and other
Massachusetts cities battling for tht

Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou
has been almost forgotten in the great
strife throughout Washington and the
country for the nomination. His light

it with great vigor two or three times
There has hardly been a peep from
the Secretary of the Treasury since, but
none the less he has lightning rod
up again. His friends know that he
has hopes. IF the convention should
become deadlocked and Governor
Hughes should be abandoned by the
New York delegation there would be a
great effort to get Mr.. Cortelyou~ out
into the open as an acceptable dark
horse.
Just now, things are not altogether
cheering for dark horses, but Mr.. Cor
telyou is very patient man who goes
philosophieally about his business and |
waits for the turn of events to be his |
way. He has not waited in vain many
a time heretofore. His friends think /
it may be so now with reference to

MYSTERY OF BROOKS.

More or less mystery is connected
with the return of Attorney Frank
Brooks from Washington. He certain
iy was not expected at so early a date
and everybody interested in the pro-
eeedlngs against Judge Wiley firmly
neheFed that he would remain al

however, has no information to voueh-

indian Departed from Tribal Custom
In the Use Of Paint.

An Oklahoma Indian is said to have
made painful mistake the other
day. In his haste to quench a mad
dening thirst he drank quart or
two of paint. supposing 1t to be his
favorite spurious liquor.
The Indian of the aboriginal days
frequently used paint, but never on
the inside. He had preference for
decorations that could be seen. He
took no delight in chromatic dia-
phragm. He cared nothing for a sky
blue inner consciousness.
Perhaps 1t was owing to these facts
that the Indian who drank the paint

preston that 1t did not harmonic
with his ordinary tone color He
conveyed this impression by seeking
the tribal medicine man. He sought
him with large horizontal leaps, emit
ting highly colored yelps of anguish at
every stride, and blowing rainbow col
ored paint bubbles at each respiration
No doubt the medicine man was
surprised at the sufferers appearance
He was still more surprised when he
saw the patients tongue. There was
nothing like that tongue in the entire
medical library. And when he went
deeper and caught sight Of the pa
tents throat he felt like burning his
diploma and whooping to the woods.
Nevertheless. he rallied and Crap

man from the landscape and removed

1t is alleged by some that Bryan
is changed and improved since
twelve years ago. He has chang
ed, but has he improved? He is
longer the crusader of the sacred
caus che is the smiling politician
who conciliates the Roger Sullivans,
Fingy Connerses, Tom Taggarts
and their kind in order to solidify
his political backing. Is that an
improvement? Not content with
the Populist fads, all of which he in
herits, he has caught up several
new freak doctrines and theories
and added them to his old crazy
quilt. Is that an improvement?
He is older, fatter, more prosper
Gus, which makes his appeals to
the class consciousness of the
laboring men more ridiculous. Is
that an improvement? The alleg-
alton will bear analysis.

A few local politicians in New
York who don't like Governor
Hughes are making believe they
will not nominate him in the state
convention for governor. When
the delegates get to the convention
these two-spots will probably find
that they have nothing to say about
it.

Why don't we hear about the
Panama canal any more? In the
days of Shonts and Stevens the
papers were full of stuff about the
canal, and more especially about
the difference and difficulties of
those who are digging it. Now
there is next to nothing. The
reason is that everything is going
so smoothly and expeditiously and
tremendously that there is no news
of the kind sensational newspaper
agents want. Colonel Goethals
has proved to be the right man in
the right place and the wisdom of
transferring the operations to the
control of the War Department
has been abundantly demonstrated.
Last week the gathering of at
torneys-general of a number of
states brought to Denver some
distinguished visitors. Among
them perhaps the most interesting
personality was that of Mr.. Hadley
of Missouri, who is now the Repub-
lican candidate for governor of that
state. The big Roosevelt victory
of four years ago put a Republican
administration in power in Missouri
which distinguished itself by going
after the Standard Oil Company
and getting them. Mr.. Hadley was
of course the chief prosecutor, and
he soon got a national reputation.
His nomination has made it alto
gether possible that the Republican
ticket may be successful in Miss
ouri again, as it was in 1904.
