A. FAMOUS LANDMARK
BY WILL J. COOPER.

Honolulu, Hawaii-The United States
army engineers have begun the construe-
ton of two large tunnels through the rim
of the great extinct crater of Diamond
Head, just east of the city The tunnels
are an adjunct to the great Pinch mortar
batteries now nearing completion on the
slope of the big cone farthest from the
ocean, They will penetrate into the big
bowl Of the crater the floor of which
includes some 20 acres, surrounded by al
most perpendicular cliffs from 50 to zoo
feet high. Erosion of ages has covered
this crater floor with a layer of earth
averaging perhaps six feet in depth
while a small lake occupies one side
most of the year. from rains which find
no outlet.
Within the mountain unusually secure
ammunition magazines Will be con-
structed, and it IS possible that the quar-
tiers for troops may also be constructed
within the great enclosure formed by the
crater walls. With sufficient water for
irrigation purposes, the interior of the
crater could readily be converted into a
veritable tropical garden.
Before the location of the fertilization
works at Diamond Head, the project of
9iii9 nv us 14etS4 ds cemetery by
the city was seriously considered. The
difficulty of securing suitable land con-
venient to Honolulu for burial purposes
led 10 the suggestion, which might have
been carried out had not Uncle Sam de-
cided that he needs the big landmark
for his own uses.
The batteries of eight big mortars are
almost entirely concealed from the sea
by the bulk of the mountain behind which
they are placed, which not only makes
them difficult to locate accurately from
ships, but will protect them to a con-
siderable extent from battleship fire.
Their own fire will be controlled by cleo
trio indicators operated at some conven-
lent point of observation, not necessarily
near the mortars, and as this class of
artillery depends on its dropping fire"
the mountain between the fort and the
sea will offer no obstacle

CITY Is PLUNGED
INTO DEEPEST WOE

San Francisco, February 27.-Aca-
pulco, the Mexican city, is plunged into
the deepest woe as the result of the
holocaust occurring on the night of
February IA, when at least 200 per-
sons were killed in the burning of
the Flores theatre. Officers and pas
sengers of the Pacific Mail steamer,
Newport, arriving today from the
southern coast, report that they ar
rived at Acapulco after the fire and
the remaining Inhabitants appeared to
be entirely overcome in consequence
of the disaster.
There is said to be not a single home
in Acapulco that did not lose mem
Der of the family or a servant in the
family George Moreno, agent for the
Pacific Mail company at Acapulco, es-
capped with his wife and two children
from the burning building, but his two
servants were lost Numerous houses
in the little city have remained closed
ever since the catastrophe, all the
members of the households having
been burned to death in the theatre.
There are several cases of insanity
among the survivors who lost rela-
tives in the disaster.
The fire broke out a few minutes
after the opening of the entertain
ment, and owing to the fact that
the ceiling was of cotton cloth, the
flames spread rapidly. the fire being
through with its deadly work within
20 minutes.
In that time nearly every person in
the gallery was burned or tramp1ed
to death. Governor Flores and his
two sons happened to be near the
rear door, the only exit, and escaped
without injury.
The fire is said to have been caused
by the explosion of tank of gas
oline which was being handled by
half drunken man.

viously adduced into evidence that she

The governor said he walked out of the
mansion with one of his staff and met
Governor Cox. They chatted awhile and
the governor re-entered the mansion.
After little while the porter came in and
told him of the killing.
You say you spoke to Governor Cox.
Had Colonel Cooper brought the reconcile
alton about?'
mo sir. A Chattanooga paper had an
interview with Governor Cox after the
primary, when Cox said was fairly NOM
mated and was entitled to the support of
all democrats. [ wrote to Cox, thank
ing him. 1 said it was no more than
fair, but it was SO much more friendly
in tone than others had seen fit to use;
that I wanted to express my appreciation.
Then he replied to it and we met. AS
a matter of fact, we never had been per-
sonal enemies. We always spoke when
we met and whenever occasion demand
ed it we shook hands As far as the polit-,
ical reconciliation is concerned, If you
| can call it that, Colonel Cooper had moth
| ing to do with it. 1t was arranged by
| correspondence"
What was Robins manner in these in
| terviews?"
HE was very anxious to effect a peace
able settlement, and when he left me in
| the Arcade he thanked me for what I
had done, and as he did this his eyes
| were filled with tears"
Judge Harris Decision.
At this point Judge Hart indicated that
he believed the results of the conferences
were admissible, Nut not the language of
them. However. he said he was open to
arguments The state asked five minutes
for conference, which was granted. Dur
| ing the governors recital, Mrs. Burch
sat with both hands clasping her brother $
left arm, here eyes fixed intently on the
| governors face Colonel Cooper was
smiling and confident John Sharp listened
attentively, anG smiled at the governors
reference to his reconciliation with Cox.
After 20 minutes delay the states at
torneys returned and General Garner an
| nounced that the prosecution objected to
detailing the conversation during the con-
ferences but not to the result of the con-
ferences as the governor understood it.
He said, too, the state did not object to
the Patterson-Cox reconciliation episode.
The Jury was recalled and the governor
repeated those portions of his previous
testimony which the court had declared
were admissible. The restrictions Of the
court made the witness testimony very
brief
When the defense was through, General
Garner said: 1.-THE governor may stand
aside. Later on, should we decide to dc
so, we will cross-examine the governor.
Judge Hart then adjourned court until
Monday at 8 a. m, saying he thought
both lawyers and jury would appreciate
half holiday.
