Building Active.

Building operations on Oahu, and
especially in the suburbs of Honolulu,
have never been prosecuted to such
an extent as at the present time.
There are fully forty buildings under
construction in that part of the city
lying cast Of Moiliili. II is fact that
the new buildings are so thick in that
growing district that the odor from
the new lumber makes one think that
they are in the region of saw mill.
The new McInerny block. which is
proposed for the corner of King and
Bishop streets, is being held up await
ing developments in the new Federal
building site. II is proposed to wait
and see what the business needs of
that section will be before erecting n
building that is to cost in the neigh
borhood of 100000 Such being the
fact it will probably be some time be-
fore the new building graces the cor

The success that attends the man
agemcnt of the Honolulu Iron Works
when It goes abroad in search of bus
mess has been further demonstrated
by the return Of Manager Hedemann
from Japan, where he secured a con-
tract for the construction of an en-
tire new sugar factory for the Mciji
Sugar Company of Formosa
It is stated that the new factory
will be about the size Of the Oahu and
Waialua mills and will also be equip
ped for the manufacture of white
graduated sugar for the markets of
Formosa and Japan.
It is noteworthy fact that the con-
tract was secured by the local corpor-
alton from three competitors. two
European and one from the mainland.

To Investigate High Cost OF
Living

The increased cost Of living was the
subject Of a concurrent resolution offer
ed by Representative Hull Of Tennessee.
1t provides for joint committee Of
seven members Of the House and five
members Of the Senate TO investigate
conditions and report upon then and as to
what remedies may be effected through
legislation.
The resolution sets forth that during
the last l2months there has been an adj
vance in the prices Of commodities of
from II to 80 per cent. and during the
last 1s years of more than Sc per cent.
which is entirely disproportionate to the
increase in wages, making it difficult for
millions of people to procure food, cloth
ing and shelter consistent with their
needs.
The resolution charges the Payne tar
if bill with being large factor in the
rise Of prices Of necessities through
permitting trusts to monopolize pro-
ducts and raise prices. By the terms
of the resolution the committee is au-
thorized to sit anywhere and administer
oaths to witnesses.

Ex-POSTMASTER
ROBS A SAFE
Thomas n. COnnOWay Is Caught
Rif|ing the Safe In Store
Of (. S. FurbuSh.

The town of Berlin is in a state Of
excitement over the discovery that for
mer Postmaster, Thomas N. Connoway
has turned safe robber.
Connoway has been for some time
employed by Postmaster, Z. S. Furbush
as an assistant in the postofiice. and he
was very efficient employee, having
been postmaster himself, and also as
sistant to his father, who was post
master of the town for several terms
before his death.
The general store OF Mr.. Furbush
is in the same building as the postoffice.
Mr.. Furbush had been missing money
from the safe in his store for long
while, and he was sure that it was be-
ing rifed by some one who was well
acquainted with the store and its sur
roundings. He caused watch to be
kept on the store, but no one was dis
covered entering the building and he
never once suspected Connoway,
although many people wondered how
Connoway could spend so much money
on a salary Of $4,000. Finally one Of
the employees saw Connoway, on
Christmas night, go to the safe in the
store. They told Mr.. Furbush about it
and he laid his plans to catch the man
who had been taking his money. Last
Tuesday night he secreted himself in
the store, and after remaining there
until late he had about given up catch
ing the man when he heard the click of
the lock to the back door. He saw Con-
noway enter the store from the post
Office room and go straight to the
safe, manipulate the combination lock
and proceed to tax such money there
from as he wanted. Mr. Furbush
made known his presence and asked
Connoway what he had to say for him
self. He broke down and confessed
that he had been robbing the safe for
some time, and had forged Mr.. Fur
bush's name to checks as well. Hoping
to regain some of his money Mr.. Fur
bush kept quiet for a few days, but
the whole affair leaked ont Wednes-
day morning when it became known
that Conaoway had left for parts I'M
known. 1t is estimated that Mr.. Fur
bush has been robbed OF several thousand
dollars.
On Wednesday In telephone inter
Thursday morning, Mr.. Furbush said
the postofiice had not been tempered
it'll byConnowaywho was smart enoughw
to know that he soon would be caught
if he attempted any dishonesty around
the postoffice.
Mr.. Furbush says that Connoway did
not take any money belonging to the
postoffice. He says the safe in his store
was at one time the property of the late
H. C. Connoway, father Of Thomas n.
Connoway. and that accounts for Toms
knowing the combination.

Of Crisfeld, was seriously burned at
the home Of her sister, Mrs. Newman
Richardson, near here. While standing
close to the stove, her dress caught fire.
She managed to extinguish nearly all
of the flames, but her sister who was
badly frightened, pushed her out of the
house. thinking thus to put out the fire.
In an instant the wind caused the
flames 20 envelop the young woman,
who was terribly burned on the body
and face before assistance could reach
her. She was hurried to the Somerset
