BURNED BY BLAZING
Dill AND LIKELY To DIE

Burned terribly by setting her own
clothes on fire, Miss Luna Marks, who
resides with her father in the store on
the corner of King and Kalihi streets,
is now lying at the Palama Hospital,
with the chances very small for saving
her life. The girl, who is but fifteen
wears of age, was pouring oil on the
fire in the kitchen stove, about 5
O clock yesterday afternoon, when a
blaze suddenly burst upward and out
ward and set fire TO her dress.
The FIRE spread with lightning sud
denness, and Miss Marks found it i'm
possible to smother the fire or to tear
off her dress She became frantic, and,
screaming at the top of her voice, ran
towards the taro patches not far from
the house.
Her clothes were burnt entirely off
her before she reached the water, how
ever. and her flesh was fearfully
seorched. Friends heard her screams
and sent in call for the ambulance.
She was taken to the hospital as soon
as possible, and every relief given the
suffering girl.
Her condition last night was report
ed as being very serious. DR.. O'Day
attended the girl.

new ELECTION BILL IS
FINALLY PASSED BY
TERRITORIAL SENATE
ChiIlingworth Declares
Direct Primary Has
Been Sighted in the
Upper House.

Long morning and afternoon ses-
sions prevailed in the Territorial Sen
ate yesterday, and in addition to
squelching Senator Makekau and his
flibustering tactics, the upper house
accomplished more than the usual
amount of routine work.
The new election bill, intended to
assure uniformity and effectiveness in
the election laws of the Territory, was
very carefully drawn, and in its amend
ed form was satisfactory to everyone
with the exception of Senator Make
kau. He seems to have developed a
weakness for placing an obstacle in
the way of bills just to sssee the wheels
go round,' and until yesterday the
Senate has been inclined to view his
work in that connection with some in
diligence. But the worm turned when
Makekau asked for a postponement
after the weary work of reading the
ffty-seven pages of Senate Bill III had
been concluded yesterday.
Not being able to secure consent for
an unreasonable postponement of the
bill, Makekau INDUCED in lengthy
speech in which he attempted to show
that there were number of threat
ening provisions in the measure. Ma
kekau rambled on, with an occasional
glance at the clock, with the idea Of
carrying his point by holding the floor
until the hour for morning recess al
rived
Coelho furnished momentary dis
traction from Makekau s efforts by in
dulging in some rather warm repartee
with Senator Knudsen of Kauai, but
the Senate was too weary to give the
statesman from Maui the credit he de-
served. When the vote was taken on
the bill, Makekau stood alone against
the thirteen other members present.
Senator Harvey introduced resolu
lion in the upper house calling for the
Immediate release from Molokai of al

FORTUNATE CAvE-|N
At THE NUUANU DAM

When it was first reported around the
Capitol yesterday morning that there
had been cave-in at the Nuuanu
reservoir, there was more or less anxiety
and the first question that occurred IN
the minds of most was as to the prob
able effect of such an accident on the
minds of the members and the fate of
the Public Works Department. Inquiry
at the department confirmed the report
of the caye-in, it being stated that some
two thousand yards of earth had fallen,
but coupled with this news was the
smiling look of Superintendent Camp
bell.
Explanations as to the cave explained
also the smiles. There had been a
eave-in, all right, but it had occurred
at the sluicing pit and means the saw
ing or a considerable amount of money
to the contractor and of considerable
time to the Territory in the work. Two
thousand yards of red dirt, needed IN
the ill, dumped itself down from the
hill into the sluicing bed, breaking
itself up and piling just where the by
drauiic nozzle can best shoot the water
against it to hurry it down to the dam.
In such a favorable situation has this
left the s}uicing ground that yesterday
afternoon the hydraulicking was giving
results of two hundred yards of fill an
hour
Last month, in the ten days in which
it was possible to work-during the let
ups in the rains-some eighteen thou
sand yards of fill were put in and the
work on the spillway was practically
completed. Of the 100000 yards of
earth needed to make the great fill, over
10000 yards are now in, while of the
total work of the dam, the department
figures that fve-eighths is finished.
7 The report of the special committee
named to inquire into the status of the
work has not yet been presented to the
House, but it is pretty well understood
that it is to be a favorable one.

City Hall Resolution.

Whereas, The voters of the City and
County of Honolulu at the first general
election under the charter approved by
implication the proposition for NUM-
eipal building; and
Whereas, Such building out of cur
rent municipal revenues, and out of a
loan fund is too late in the day for
the necessary legislation at the present
session of the Legislature; and
Whereas, There is a prospect that,
before the present term of the Mayor
and Supervisors expires, the govern
ment of the United States will have
erected public building in Honolulu
to accommodate among other Federal
offices the Honolulu postofice, thereby
enabling the surrender back to the gov
eminent of the Territory of the build
ing now occupied by the postofice de-
partments;

House Works Only One
Hour and Rests on
the Senate - More
Money for Counties.

The House worked only in the morn
ing yesterday and not very much then,
the main debate being whether the
body could adjourn over a day and not
have that day counted against them as
a day of the session and without af-
front to the Senate, toiling away on
the election laws across the hail.
The members have work to do, but
this is now mainly committee work and
it was that the members of the com.
mittee might get busy and catch up
with the bills in their hands that it
was proposed to let day go by with
out hearing the chaplain's invocation.
It was decided by the Speaker, how
ever, that it would be unseemly to
spend the day without coming to order
for little while at least, while the
prospects of sending in some work from
the Senate seemed bright.
The Election Laws bill was on third
reading with the upper house and it
should reach the House this morning,
when there will be plenty doing, while
on top of that it is likely that the
Primary Law bill will come in this
week.
The main work yesterday was the
receipt of three bills from the chair
man of the Finance Committee, deal
ing with changes to the License Act
and the acts covering the disposition
Of police court costs and fines. Kawe-
wehi presented his usual petition ask
ing for the division of Hawaii into
two counties.
