WAILUKU, August 16. - Doctor
Bruins, European scientist, whose in
vestigations Of volcanoes have brought
him worldwide renown, returned yester-
day from a brief sojourn in the crater
of Haleakala He makes the very inter
esting statement that Haleakala is not
an extinct volcano-indeed, he is quite
sure that it has at least one more good
eruption left in it.
Doctor Bruins, who is wealthy man.
has published several works which show
the result of his research. He halls
from Geneva, Switzerland. Besides
being a famous scientist, he is an
Alpine climber Of much note.
He arrived in the Islands in July
coming direct from Geneva, his object
i've point being kilauea. His particu,
lar motive was the analysis of volcanic
gases found in the crater, where he
spent two weeks.
According to Doctor Bruins, the whole
crater of Kilauea is very hot, the TEN,
perature ranging from 80 deg. cent?
grade at the Volcano House to melting
point at the pit of Halemaumau, which
is 100 deg. centigrade. Temperatures

sulphur banks, 96 deg. centigrade
kilauea Xxi, 80 deg. to so deg. cent?
grade; Volcano House, 80 deg. cent?
grade. Fifty degrees centigrade is 10
deg. Farenheit.
Asked as to whether the crater OF
kilauea was getting hotter or cooler

HOWARD DEBATERS WIN.
Local University Takes Honors From
Visiting DisputantS,

Howard University carried OFF the hon.
ors last night in the annual debate with
Fisk University upon the question of
whether or not the United States should
have an income tax. The local debatcrs
DISCUSSED the affirmative side of the ques-
ton. and succeeded in putting forth such
a substantial argument that the result
was almost a foregone conclusion before
the judges announced their decision. The
debate took place in the Howard Univer-
sity chapel
ably, their arguments being outlined
with good effect. The trio of the local
institution, however, seemed to have
taken more care In preparing for the
contest. The audience, which taxed the
capacity OF the chapel. was one of the
largest ever in attendance at debate
held at the Howard University.
c. d. Washington, j. III. Morris and
William A. Love represented Howard
University. j. +. Allison, James F..
Stamps and Charles Payne were the
members of the Fisk team. Judge W. 7.
Norris, E. T. E. Nesbt and Charles
Payne were the judges.
A similar debate was held in Atlanta

A telegram was received at the Howard
University late last night, stating that
the other debating team of the university
had defeated the Atlanta University al
Atlanta, Ga. The team at Atlanta spoke
for the negative on the same subject
