THE BAND DID PLAY.

The first concert ever given by Ber-
gers band at Punahou street and Wild
er avenue took place last night and
was a great success, people coming in
from Manoa, Palolo, MakiKi and ali
through that section to listen to the
strains of music. The band played
under the port cochere of the Pleasan-

hotel We're crowded with guests and

the interest that was created that the
band will give regular concerts at this
point and it IS still hoped by most Of

iy burned and trampled upon, but her, and if she could not be saved at once she could not be saved at all. Upton sprang to help her and with all his strength sought to tear her from the weight that was pressing her down and from the flames which were creep ing close. Although he worked with a desperation of despair, his strength was unequal to the task. He fought on until his clothing was partly burn ed from him and the skin of his face and hands were scorched black. 9th CT men attempted to induce him to move, but he refused until he saw that his girl was dead.
 All Over In Half an Hour.
 The flames spread with such terrific rapidity that within thirty minutes from the time the fire was discovered the schoolhouse was nothing but few blackened walls surrounding a cellar filled with corpses and debris.
 The firemen dashed into the blazing wreckage and with rakes, forks, shov- els and their bare hands worked in the most frantic manner with the hope of saving few more lives. They were unsuccessful, for none was taken alive from the ruins after the floors col lapsed. Fragments of incinerated limbs, skulls and bones were found almost at every turn.
 The great majority of the little bodies that were taken from the ruins were burned beyond all possible recognition. And it is no small part of the sorrow which is bearing down the people of North Collinwood that positive identifi- cation of many of the children will never be made.
 Teachers Narrow Escape.
 One of the teachers, Miss Pearl Lynn, narrowly escaped death. She was car ried toward the rear entrance by the rush of the panic stricken pupils and fell at the bottom of the stairs, with numbers of the children on top of her. She lay there unable to rise because of the weight of the bodies upon her. She was dragged from the mass of dead children just in time to save her own life ft.
 One of the scenes of supreme hor- TOT that attended the fire occurred at the rear doorway of the building be- fore the firemen arrived. This door, like the one in front, opened inward, and it was locked The children were piled up high against 1t, and when it finally was broken down by their weight and by the fire that had part ly burned and weakened it the women who had gathered outside saw before them a mass of white faces and strug gling bodies. The flames swept over the aisle while the women stood help less, unable to lend hand to aid the children. Many of the women were unable to withstand the sight and dropped fainting to the ground. The fire department was late in reaching the building, and when 1t came the apparatus was found to be inadequate.

DEFECTS IN OUR SHIPS.
Senate Naval Committee Hears o'
 Serious Faults In Vessels.

Senate Naval Committee Hears oi
 Serious Faults In Vessels.
 Washington, March 11.-That there are serious defects in the construction of American battleships was charged by Captain Cameron McRea Winslow, assistant chief of the bureau of navi- gation of the navy department, and Commander A. L. Key, former naval aid to President Roosevelt, before the senate committee which is investigat ing the navy. .
 The former officer said the ships un der Admiral Evans were all overdraft when they left Hampton Roads. Com mander Key criticised the armor belt and the gun decks as being too low and the ammunition hoists unsafe. He attempted to dispute the testimony oi other officers, especially Chief Con structor Capps, but was not permitted to do so. sty
 Captain Winslow, defending Admira Rojestvensky, used the fate of ths Russian fleet as an illustration of the danger of going into action with the armor belt too far under water. Al the same time he said that the ships should carry at least two-thirds theil capacity of coal and full ammunition r and stores.
 He said that two-thirds supply of al stores would make all American bat | tleships too low, and therefore the ar nor belt should be raised. He could not state the exact amount, as he sait it would vary on the different ships.
 There was no need, said Captain | Winslow, for more than four feet o | armor below the water line.
 | The witness was asked to compare certain types of American ships witt l the contemporary class of British ships, He took the Connecticut anC the Lord Nelson and in gunnery sait the British ship has made better rec ords for rapid shooting with her bat tery of 9.2 inch, guns than had beer made with the Connecticut's eigh inch guns.
