tendants after career as maker of
political history, there passed the last
of the old time party bosses. Few men
so nearly approached greatness with
out really becoming great. A great
student of detail and an organizer OF
unmistakable genius, Mr.. Platt attain
ed a prominence and influence that
few men contemporaneous with his
time ever realized.
At the height of his career dozen
or more years ago he made presidents,
or at least contributed more than any
other man In politics to the achieve
ment. He selected candidates for gov
ernor and minor federal and state
offices and dispensed patronage with
the profligacy of a sovereign. Yet at
the end he could not command In
auenee enough to secure the appoint
ment Of a clerk.
A more chronological history of the
life of Platt would encompass every
phase of political life from the organ
ization of a convention In an obscure
country town to battle royal with
presidents of his country. There were
as many sides Of his. remarkable char

carat diamond. He was a poet of no

point of being a good loser. an autoerat

the condition when the blood Is thin and

simply "too little blood" The patient IL

JAPANESE LEADING
IN DIVORCE SUITS
Statistics Show Subjects Of Mikado
Lead All Others in Seeking Legal
Separations.

More japanese divorces have been
granted in Honolulu since January I
than those of all other nationalities
together. according to the statistics
of the court calendar.
Since the beginning OF the year
there have been granted In all 60 di.
vorces. involving 1874 principals and
of this total number of principals the
japanese have made up so.
BY nationalitIes the Hawailans stand
next to the japanese in being con.
cerned In divorce proceedings and the
Americans come third on the list.
Those having the least number to their
credit are the Koreans. with none at
all. the Germans and Porto Ricans
standing next above with three each.
Starting In at the highest number
and going down the line. the different
nationalities stand as follows: Japan.
csc so. Hawaiian 22, Americans II,
Portuguese Z. Chinese 4, others (lnclud.
ing negroes) 4. Germans 3. Porto Ric.
ans 81 and Koreans none.
The divorce mill is grinding along
at about the same rate as last year. a
little faster II anything. During the
whole OF the past calendar year there
were 1853 divorces granted in the
courts of Honolulu. and the number
thus far for less than a half year is
nearly half that number.
Those acquainted with the facts lay
the reason for the great number OF
japanese divorces TO the system OF
marriage of japanese women here In
the quarantine station to some man
who has been In the Islands several
years, and with whom the bride from
Nippon fails to hit It OF. apparently.
The records show that practically
all the cases are brought for desertion
and failure to provide. other causes be.
ing few and far between, where the
women ask for a legal dissolution of
the tie which binds them to their hus.
bands.

MAY BE DOUBLE MURDER
OharIton's Coat Discovered Near Place
Where Wife's Body Was Found.

Como, Italy, June IA part of a
mans coat, declared by some of his
fishermen neighbors to have belonged
to Porter Charlton, was found in Lake
Como, from the water of which the
body of his murdered bride, Mary
Scott Castle Charlton, was recovered
last Friday.
The torn garment was fished up
from the bottom of the lake near the
spot where the trunk containing the
body of the woman was found.
This discovery strengthens the
theory of many that a double murder
was committed. This is the view of
Charles M. Caughy, the American con-
sui at Milan, who believes that Charl-
ton met the same fate as did his wife.
Mr.. Caughy is actively engaged in fur
thering the investigation. Earlier evil
dence that both of the Americans
were killed, presumably for their val
uables, was found in the blood spat-
tered bed at the villa which they occu-
pied

TANK CRASHES THROUGH ROOF
People in Building Buried in
WreCkage When Fire Starts.

Montreal, June 14.-BetWeen TWEEN
ty and thirty people lost their lives
when the supports of the sprinkler
system tank on the roof of the Herald
building gave way and the great mass
of metal and water, weighing thirty
five tons, went crashing to the base
ment.
Fire broke out Immediately, adding
its horrors to the disaster. The fire.
men displayed splendid heroism in res
cuing scores of people from perilous
positions in the tottering walls. Some
of the walls had to come down before
the work of recovering the bodies
could be safely attempted.
The first warning of the impending
disaster passed almost unnoticed.
There was slight cracking; then a
little more, somewhat more pro-
nounced, but it was not until the cell
ing plaster began to fall that rush
for the stairway began. Before any
one reached it there occurred final
deafening crash and then chaos. Some
survivors tell of falling one and two
floors before the awful crash died
away and then they found themselves
able to crawl through the dense dust
to a place of safety. The majority
sought safety by rushing to the front
of the building. Fortunately ali the
floors held, about thirty feet from
the front wall, and to this is due the
fact that the death list did not run
into the hundreds, for there were
nearly 800 people in the building at
the time.
Girl Displays Great Heroism.
One ladder was hoisted, reaching to
the fourth floor, on which the bindery
was located. It came between two
windows. From one of these a little
girl crept along the coping until she
could reach the ladder. Grasping a
rung with one hand and placing a foot
on another, she lent a helping hand
to eight or ten girls twice her size.
When all the girls had reached the
ladder and had been brought down to
safety she came down alone.
A dozen injured people we're brought
from the ruins by the firemen, many
OF them with broken limbs. s---. 49,
The fire started from the stereotyp-
ing department, the red hot Goals from
the furnace evidently being distribut-
ed on the different floors through
which the pots passed on their way to
the basement, for the fire appeared to
start almost simultaneously On all the
lower floors.
The building was valued at $15O,00O
and was owned by the Herald COM
pany, while the valuation of the plant
is placed at 100000. About half the
linotype battery remained in position
and it is believed that the two news
paper presses, located in the base
ment, were not seriously damaged.
The insurance on the building and
plant totals $177,000.

CLOUDBURsT IN GERMANY
Late Estimates Place Dead at One
Hundred and Fifty.

Cologne, Germany, June 14.-Great
loss of life has occurred in the Abr
valley of the Eifel region as the re-
suit of cloudburst which swept the
district Sunday night. Late estimates
place the total number of dead at $50.
The greatest loss of life occurred
where two barracks containing Italian
and Creation laborers employed on
the railway were swept away. The
inmates were surprised in their sleep
and generally unable to help them
selves.
The flood subsidized as suddenly as
it came and the danger is now past.
Many peasants, however, have lost
everything and are dependent on
charity.

The so called "Paladshotellet" at
Copenhagen, which was to have been
completed and ready for occupancy
May 16, has not yet been completed.
The carpenters are the ones who are
causing the delay. They refuse to
finish their job unless they get their
pay and it appears that the company
which is erecting the hotel is tr1t1e
embarrassed for funds. It is a gigan-
tic undertaking and when completed
it will cost not less than 5,OOO,OOO
crowns. There have already been
spent something like 100000 crowns
in masonry and carpenter work.
Fire broke out recently in the Dan
ish Rigshospital and for time it
looked as though the entire building
was doomed. The fire department was
early on the scene, however, and after
fighting the flames for two hours they
finally got them under control. For
tunately no lives were lost, although
the affair proved distressing to the
helpless patients.
When Dowager Queen Alexandra
will come to pay her first visit to her
