National Purity Paper Bottle
Company Loses $1,000.
-OCATED At 336 K ST. S.W.
'Parafin Tank Caught Fire Early
This Morning.
EXPLOSION CAME QUICKLY
Employes Couldn't Put It Out.
Panic Among Nearby Residents
Adds to Excitement.

Fire destroyed the contents of the fac
tory Of the National Purity Paper Bottle
Company, at the rear Of :a36 K street
southwest. this morning about $40
O'Clock. causing a loss Of about $4,000 to
the machinery and stock and 81 OGO to the
building.
A leaky paraffin tank was respon sible
for the fire. Two men were at work In
the factory when the paraff1n caught fire
ard exploded. They made an effort to
extinguish the blaze, but 1t spread SO
quickly that they were unable to succeed.
John Greenwell and Joseph Dunigan
were the young men who composed the
night shift, going on duty al Z o'clock to
work until o'clock this morning. They
were on the lower floor of the building
working on the machinery where the tops
OF the bottles are made. the extra work
having been necessitated by the receip.
OF several big orders from New York for
the bottles. The two workmen were only
short distance from the paraffin tank.
and when the leak occurred and the blaze
started they had to jump pretty quickly.
Explosion Comes Quickly.
An explosion occurred a few seconds
after the paraffin ignited, and the two
men turned their attention in the direc-
ton Of the tank. doing what they could
to prevent the spreading oe the fire. Their
task was a hopeless one, however, and
they soon realized that it was absolutely
necessary to call the fire department for
assistance. The bright blaze and clouds
Of dense smoke aroused many persons
living In the vicinity of the plant. some
OF them becoming so greatly alarmed
that they gathered their more valuable
assets and made preparations for hasty
exit.
Several companies of the fire depart
nent and the police reserves from the
fourth precinct made prompt responses
to An alarm that was sounded from
box 453. and a few minutes later the
firemen Were sending wa er from sew
eral streams into the tWo-story brick
structure. Flames came from the win
dows on all sides Of the building. and
while neighbors feared the fire would
get beyond control Of the firemen. the
latter felt certain there was no such dan

and much OF the stock In the building
had been ruined.
Covered by Insurance.

hours after the fire had been eXtin-

FREAR FOR
End JUDGE

The Maui News says: while
many are debating the possibilities
of the various candidates for the of
fee of second judge of the federal
court of Hawaii it might not be a
bad guess to name Governor Frear
for that position and speculate as to
who will fill the governors chair.
mo one questions Frear's honesty.
All admit that he is a scholar of that
rare judicial temperament that en-
ables him to decide correctly the
finer points of law which placed him
in the front rank of the justices of
the supreme court but as the chief
executive he lacks many qualities
that are essential to the successful
administration of public affairs.
1T is believed Governor Frear full
ly realizes the state of affairs and
would welcome the day when he may
return to the bench where he knows
he would be at home and where he
would be supported by the entire
community"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-12-13

in the House would probably give him
the support of the Honolulu business
interests should Kuhio quit or be drop
ped. Two other men are discussed
who are regarded as certain of success
if they would rum. P. Cooke and
]. NJ. Dowsett,-but it is said that
neither of them would accept.
"Kuhio is taking long chance"
said one of Honolulu's best political
judges this morning. "I do not think
he is wise in bringing forth such a
charge at this time. He can prob
ably win the nomination again against
strong opposition within the party, but
being elected under such circumstances
is another thing"
In fact it seems to be the general
opinion that if Kuhio does really split
the party, he will fail of reelection.
Unless he gets the Honolulu backing
and support he had last time, McCand-
less chances will greatly brighten.

ian voters, There is talk of efforts
to use the land issue as a means OF
rallying them regardless of the names
of Republican, Democrat or Home
Ruler, on this issue, in a Hawaiian

ton will turn against Kuhio on ac-
count of his sudden break. Speaker
