ened room. r. Judson Myers, a grad
uate of the Episcopal Academy and
now a sophomore at the University
of Pennsylvania, and crowd of other
boys, were present. Basset was told
to bow his head. He did so, and a
cold liquid was freely applied to his
hair, face, neck and shoulders.

The boys now declare that they
fully believed the bottle whose con-
tents they had poured on young Bas-
set contained witch hazel. But in
reality it contained alcohol 1t is de-
MED that ony one of them detected
the difference in the odor between
witch hazel and alcohol And the
boys further deny that they had any
notion of directly applying match.
Young Basset, standing in the dark
ness, replied laughingly to the sol

"All right. Go ahead; touch it off. -

A boy struck wooden match. 1t

end fell directly on young Basset's
head. In an instant flame shot up.
The boy stood completely enveloped
in fire. Young Myers tore a curtain
from the window and wrapped the lad
in it and beat out the flames. The
bandage on the youngsters eyes pre-
vented his being blinded. But the
pain of the burns was so shocking

that little Basset screamed in agony.
Frightened lads ran out of the place
seeking a physician. Basset was car
ried to a neighboring barber shop and
oil lotions applied until an ambulance
came that bore him to his home.
AS a result of the accident it was
declared that the head master of the
academy had issued an order peremp-
torily abolishing all fraternities, but
DR.. William H. Knapp, who holds that
office, said today that the matter was
in no way officially before him. "The
parents of the students must decide
on the advisability of their boys be-
longing to these secret societies." he
declared.

SUOCker.
Society is once more enthusiastic
over the production of "Pinafore"' by
local talent. The first rehearsal last
night was the most successful opening
of its kind ever held in Honolulu.
Thirty-seven ladies and fortythree
gentlemen were present and all were
full of enthusiasm. Many more people
have expressed a willingness to take
part who could not be present last
night, and next Tuesday evening all
will be present, so that the chorus
will be at its full strength.
On account of the production being
given out of doors and on the water
of Honolulu Harbor, it Is necessary to
have much stronger chorus than if it
were to be presented indoors. But
this production of "Pinafore," with the
people who are already practicing and
those who will be present next Tues
day, will outclass all previous at
tempts made in Honolulu.
The cast has been selected from the
best amateurs of the community, with
Mrs. Reilly Allen singing the role of
Josephine, supported by Mrs. Alice
Hayward as Buttercup and Mrs. Sallie
Douglass as Cousin Hebe. The female
characters of the opera are all well
chosen. David Anderson will take the
part of Sir Joseph Porter, K. c. b.,
Mr.. L. RAIDER of Captain Cochrane, and
Mr.. James Dougherty as Ralph Rack
stiam, Mr.. James Austin Wilder as
Dick Deadeye, and Mr.. NJ. Clarence
Waterman as the Boatswain, will
cover all the requirements of the mems
roles.
1t is safe to predict that "Pinafore"
in the hands of such a cast, all Of
whom have appeared before Honolulu
audiences before. with the pretty
catchy music of Sullivan's most popu-
lar opera, will give Honolulu a taste
of something better than anything
given here for some time
No amount of rehearsing, trouble,
time or expense will be spared 70
make it the success it should be.
Mr.. James Dougherty is stage mana
ger and Sonny Cunha is directing.

tim of an accident that occurred
while he was undergoing an initiation
into a fraternity connected with the
Episcopal Academy of which he is a
student, Henry Basset Jr, of wealthy
parents, was so frightfully burned
about the head, face and shoulders
that his physicians fear that he will
die
Basset, who is a STRIPPING in his
teens, was a member of the junior
class at the fashionable educational
institute. For a long time he had
begged his mothers consent to his
becoming member of the Alpha Phi
Epsilon frat" of tn school. For some
time she withheld it, thinking her
son too young to join a secret organi-
cation, but finally the consent was
forthcoming, and on Friday of last
week the youth duly appeared at the
fraternity rooms, 217 South Broad
Broad street, to undergo his initia-
ton.

The recent great development Of mo-

and draft of merchant and war vessels
the natural changes in the bars and
shoals, the newly discovered rocks, the
artificial improvement OF channels and
harbors of the coasts, the exacting de-
mands of modern navigation arising
from traffic expansion, and the safe
guarding OF human lives and property
are discussed in the report for the fs-
cal year ended June 30, 1911. which Supt.

detic Survey, has transmitted to Secre-
tary Nagel, Of the Department of Com
merce and Labor. for submission TO Con-
gress.
Supt. Tittmann reports good progress
in all branches OF the work, although
the force employed is not sufficient for
the most efficient and economical admin
istration. in view Of the increasing vol
ume OF work and the growing demand
for the practical results produced by the
survey. Increases made in the compen-
