| don't want TO Oo overcritical of
the work of Chief of Detectives Taylor,
who | think has done remarkably well
and deserves a lot of credit, but 1 can
not help feeling that the Lopez-hunt
is sitting, for various people to go to
very big island, but it is big enough
for fugitive to lay low in when he is
advised that he is being looked for. |
am reminded of the travels of a dis
tinguished local federal officer, who
has given up going after people whom
he has reason to suspect are on the
lookout. 1t appears to be the custom
at various island ports, when a steamer
arrives in sight with a list to port or
starboard, according to where Hendry
didate for reelection. / have other
telephones and herald throughout the
island the news that the big marshal"
has come. The natural result is a dis
appearance of all signs of Edmunds
act, Illicit booze or other offenses a
gainst the laws of Uncle Sam. AS far
as Taylor is concerned in the Lopez
matter, he is about the last man in
the department who could reasonably
expect to do anything. l don't suppose
that the chief of detectives ever starts
for Waialua without offenders against
the law knowing it. Certainly those
who may be helping Lopez would let
him know. Taylor arrival at Waia-
lua would attract attention anyhow AS
for hunting on horseback for Lopez, in
the valleys and mountains, Taylor
himself may have passed within ten
feet of Lopez a half a dozen times
without knowing it. Perhaps if Hi
Henry would loan some of his blood

The NATIONAL OPERA co.
WILL SING IN BEM|DJI
1.-The Two Thieves" (Ermjnie) and

... =. Be Given. s.

The famous comic opera success,
The Two Thieves" Erminie) will be
presented at the City opera house by
the National Opera company on
Oct. 9TH. This delightful compost
ton has stood the test of time and
is as popular today in the hearts of
opera lovers as it was two decades
ago, when the new famous opera
singers, Pauline Hall, Francis Will
son, etc., first gained the celebrity
that has since made them renowned
stars. 1t is the operas of this class
that endure while the latter day pro-
duction have popularity of a sea-
son or two and then are discarded,
and there is reason for this, when
one considers the sterling musical
and literary ability of that era in
comparison to the present day efforts.
Messrs. Shelly and Huntington
have provided elaborate scenery
which together with the modern
light effects and costumes form a
back ground for this illustrious
comic opera that is seldom if ever
equaled. To add novelty and charm
to the performance some pretty
dances and song hits from the later
successes are introduced. The sale
of seats is now on at the City drug
store. Already there is much in
terest shown by our public in this
production.

Maddox, Rush Randel Steve Dur rick, H. w. Sweet George Ross. Those absent were Harry Palmer and Mir. Nun dis. Rush Randel was elected secretary
 Chairman Huffman stated that it was not the intention of the committee to transact any regular business a this meeting but that it was simply called together for the purpose of obtaining the views of the different members and to outline plan for the transaction of fu- ture business.
 The new code business came up for discussion. and it appears that as far as it is concerned, the committee is up against it, that is the members have not as yet had time to look into the matter with regard to the presidency of the council on the ticket to be voted at the primary
 It was suggested to them that even if the new code was not adopted at the present time by the council it could be adopted say, by the first of September, and by doing that, it would in no way conflict with this office being placed on the ticket. This was about the only thing that came up for discussion. and the meeting adjourned to meet again at the chairman's call

CHIEF OF F|REMEN
 DIES 1T HIS POST.
Following Duty'S Call Leader
 Loses His Life
FALLS INTO POOL OF WATER
Fire Almost Destroys Building and In Efforts To Control Flames Deputy
 Chief PIunges Through
 Trap To His Death.

New York, February 14-Deputy Chief Charles W. Kruger, known for many years as the grand old man of the fire department" lost his life today while leading his men in a desperate fight against flames in Canal street. While working his way cautiously through cellar filled with smoke and gases, Kru- ger plunged through a trap door into a basement filled with water. He was dead when taken out but in the few minutes which elapsed between the time the old man fell and his body was drawn out, more than a score of men had risked their own lives in an effort to save that of their leader.
 .I knew it would happen this way, said one of Kruger's men, when the chiefs body was being carried away. T have been to many fires with him. He was always in the lead. He never said, You boys go into that place, or this place He always led us first. He said Boys follow me- and that's just what he said this time, when he led us into that basement, Boys, follow me It was just what many of us men expected. We have often said that the old man would be killed at a fire leading his men
 Kruger was 57 years old and had been a member of the department for S6 years.
 The fire in which the deputy chief lost his life started at PIT Canal street and before it had been subdued it swept that building from basement to roof, spread to two buildings adjoining, routed the tenants from several tenement houses on Baxter street and threatened the Church of the Most Precious Blood. It was after the flames in the upper part of the building had been brought under control that Kruger took his men to the base ment. A great pile of excelsior in bales was blazing furiously and an attempt to reach 1t with streams from the street had been unsuccessful. Kruger asked permission of Croker to take his men through the basement of 2l5 to cut hole through the wall to PIT, where the fire was burning. Croker consented and moment later, with a dozen men be- hind him. Kruger plunged into the eel lar. The place was filled with smoke and the deadly fumes of Illuminating gas, which flowed from the broken or melted pipes, but the men pressed cautiously forward in the darkness. Just in the middle of the cellar Kruger stepped on a trap and plunged into six feet of wa ter in the sub-basement. Then began desperate fight in the gas-filled cellar to save the chief. He could do little to help himself, however, and when Battal- ion Chief Calvin plunged into the dark hole and raised Kruger's head above the surface he was unconscious. It required the combined efforts of 20 firemen, weak ened as they were by breathing smoke and gas, to draw Calvin. who still clung to Krugers body, from the pit.
 The property loss as result of the fire is placed at $50000.
