LITERATURE OF
PUBLIC LANDS

Land Commissioner Pratt is arrang-
ing an exhibit Of the literature Of the
General Land Office which he brought
back with him from Washington. The
exhibit which is being arranged in his
office will include all circulars of a
general character issued from the Land
Office for the information of the pub.
lie in regard to public lands, specimen
maps of reclamation districts, and
other areas Of public lands, and other
printed matter concerning the work
ings of the Land Office and concerning
the public lands of the United States.
1t is probable that nowhere outside of
the General Land Office can such COM
plete information concerning the gen.
eral subject of public lands be obtain
ed as from this exhibit.
One of the most interesting publica
tions in this exhibit is n sort of cate
chism intended to give full information
regarding the residence and other re-
quirements of homesteaders in reclama-
tion districts. Apparently, also, one of
the purposes of the catechism is TO give
warning to homcsteaders that the de-
partment win require full compliance
with the requirements. In one answer
il says that the I" shanty sSeomplihnee
with the requirements to build a house
does not 90 any longer. In another
answer it says that residence mesus
habitually sleeping and eating one Is
meals on the homestead and not merely
spending a Sunday there while follow
ing an occupation somewhere else.
A very interesting part of the ex.
hfbif are the folders that have been
issued descriptive of the reclamation
projects. These are. gotten up in the
form of folders which are profusely
and attractively illustrated and written
in an interesting way.,
The exhibit is really q valuable CON
tribntion; to the discussion of public
land laws.

HAWAII SCHOOL DATA

Superintendent Babbitt is in receipt
of circular letter from the United
States Commissioner of Education ask
ing for certain data to be included in
the regular bulletin of the department

FIRE IN TENEMENT
rrlnEE ARE KILLED AND FIFTEEN
 INJURED.
Lives of Hundreds Endangered and Friwhtened Persons Jumped From Windows After Having @
 Been Warned.

New York. April 2-Three persons were killed, fifteen were injured. some of them seriously, and the lives of nearly 100 persons were endangered by fire in i've story tenement house at No. 44 Hester Street early today.
 The dead are Berel Weinstein. his wife Anna, and their 1-year-old son. They were suffocated and burned in their apartments on the fifth floor.
 That more lives were not lost was largely due to the prompt action of three policemen. who. seeing flames in the hall rushed through the building and aroused the members, of sixteen sleeping families. By that time the stairways were a mass of flames. and the only means of exit was by the fire escapes.
 Tn their attempt to escape. scores of scantily clad men, women and chill dren crowded the narrow iron plat forms and ladders until they became wedged in solid masses on the fire es- capes. unable to extricate themselves and blocking the way of those who had not yet succeeded in getting out of the building.
 This was the situation when the fire men arrived and began to run up lad ders to take the panic-stricken fugi- tives from their perilous position. In some instances the combined efforts of half a dozen flromen was required to drag a woman or child from the tight ly packed platforms. +t
 While firemen on ladders and others on the ground were calling out to them that there was no danger and that help soon would reach them, they began. one by one. to jump from the windows.
 David Miller sprang from fourth story window and sustained injuries which probably will cause his death. Rosie Gallman, Fannie Berezson and Byman Mettlemann, who jumped from windows on the second and third floors. have broken limbs and were taken to hospitals. Several others were inter- naliy injured. Many others who sus- tained more or less serious bruises re- fused to go to hospitals.
 Weinstein and his wife and baby were found lying dead in their rooms on the top floor of the burning build ing after the flames had been extin- gufshed.

REFUTEs STATEMENTS.
Mir. McLachlan Defends Action Of For-
 estry Bureau.

estry Bureau. Washington. April 2.-An echo Of the charge by Mir Smith. of Califor- mia, made last Monday, that Clifford Pinchot. the chief of the forestry bureau. had acted improperly with reference to the water rights of Owens River (California) was heard in the House to day when Mir. McLachlan. Of California, rose to refute the state- ments.
 The forestry bureau, he declared had been placed in false light. He declared that every member of the California delegation except Messrs. Needham, Smith and Kahn. had writ ten the President asking that the res ervation be made and that MT. Pin chot was acting in accordance with the request and the demand of the people of Los Angeles and the request and the demand of the majority of the California delegation. Mir. Me- Lachlan explained that when the mat ter was presented to the President. MT. Kahn was abroad and that was why his name did not appear in con- nection with 1t.
 MT. Smith denied that Mir. McLach- lan's statement was in accordance with the facts. The paper sent to the President, he declared. contained no reference to any particular tract and the signers were not led to believe that 1t had reference to the Owens river vally.
