FIRE LOOKS
A BIT QUEER
Police Think Blaze in Harbor
Saloon May Have Been
lncendiary.

The Harbor Saloon, on Queen street,
caught fire last night under eircum-
stances which point strongly to ineen-
diarism. The police are not at all sat
isfed with the look of things, and
Night Waterman Larsen has been plac-
ed under arrest. He is now held at the
police station on suspicion.
The Harbor lost it's license some time
ago, and since then has not been oceu
pied. The owner placed Larsen in
charge, believing that vags might be
using the building as sleeping quarters.
Shortly before 9 clock last night, pas
sersby noticed smoke issuing from the
turned in. The department responded
promptly and saved the structure from
serious injury.
An examination of the premises dis
closed the fact that rags, boxes aud old
junk had been piled up around the
back door. This made the police suspi-
cious, and the Waterman was taken in
charge on the chance that he might be
able to throw a little light on the mat
ter.
Deputy Sheriff Rose, who was on duty
at the time, at once took charge of the
case and is conducting quiet investi-
CATION. There was no insurance on the
building.

Hawaii has always been noted for
the hospitality of her citizens. 1t is
one of the characteristics of the Islands
that has been commented on by almost

for Consideration
Later.

The holedigging ordinance, intended
to prevent corporations digging up
streets without proper authority from
the county, failed to materialize at last
night IS session Of the Board of Super
visors. It was mentioned, but on the
request of members, action was de-
ferred till the next meeting, on the
plea that the attorneys for the tele-
phone company wished to have a con-
ference on the matter with the City
and County Attorney. As this confer
ence may result in the offer of amend
ments to the proposed ordinance, it was
suggested that the matter should go
over another week.
The milk and dairy ordinances went
over another week at the request of
Supervisor Mcclellan, who was absent
, on the mainland when the ordinances
were introduced, and he has not had
time yet to go over them carefully
He promised to read and digest both
voluminous documents by next week
and viii be ready to vote on the same.

Chang Sam, proprietor of a store on
King street, opposite Liliha street, re-
quested the board to take action with
reference to a hack stand i'll front of

they refused to move.
Mr.. Quinn stated that new ordi-
nance concerning hackstand locations
is being prepared, and the petitioner IS
