In the past FIVE years the Pennsyl-
vania railroad has enlarged it's own
fire lighting system and has so
improved its methods of inspection
that company employees now extin-
gulsh many fires which formerly
would have gained much headway and
caused consequent losses. In 1907,
company employees extingushed 1875
fires, in 1908 this number grew 20 pa.
and in 1909 to 321, while 1910 and 1911
showed equal increases in the eff

ped with special apparatus for use
in case of fire. We're instrumental in
extinguishing 43 fires last year.
A circular was issued today by the
Insurance department giving the cau-

Expect Serious Car shortage.

Officials of the Hooking valley and
Toledo a. Ohio Central railroads eN-
pect serious car shortage to develop
In the Hooking coal district this week,
and operators believe that they will
not be able to operate mines TO any
great extent because of It,.
1t Is no fault Of the local railroads,
but OF their connections The block
AIDES on connecting lines which be-
came serious some days ago is still
existing and the railroads appear to
be unable TO get their yards cleared.
Toledo adyices are that over 1000
loaded cars are now in the yards
there. and that 5000 of these are
loaded with coal. The Michigan
roads appear to be unable to move
this coal and it is said that Detroit
and other Michigan and northwestern
cities are on the eve of serious fuel
famine. In addition to the cars at
Toledo, there are other loaded cars
stored on sidetracks the entire dis
tance between Columbus and Toledo.
1t is this which Is causing the
trouble with the local coal roads.
They have been unable to get return
of their coal cars ana have about
come to the end of their string. I'm
less the cars now in transit are de-
livered unloaded and returned the
Hooking district will be practically
without cars. This is in the face OF
the fact that the railroads have all
ready begun to stock coal in antici-
patton of shortage. The lPennsyl-
vania Is now storing thousands OF
tons of coal at Coshocton, and the
Big Four and other roads are also
holding many cars for this purpose

1T WAS TO HAVE
HAPPENED LAST NIGHT

BELFAST, January 81 Several
regiments of cavalry and infantry have
been ordered to held themselves in
readiness to come to Belfast at short
notice because of the campaign between
nationalists and unionists over Home
Rule. The maneuver of the Unionists
in threatening to blockade Ulster Hall,
where the Home Rule demonstration is
to take place, has incensed the Liberals
and Nationalist, and trouble is threat
ened.
The Corporation of the City has
agreed to let Ulster Hall to the Union
lists for the demonstration on February
z, the day preceding the meeting at
which Winston Spencer Churchill, first
lord of the admiralty, and John 70.
Redmond, leader of Irish Nationalist
in the house of commons, are announced
to speak there in favor of Home Rule.
The Unionist meeting is believed to
be scheme by which that party will
retain possession of the hall and thus
keep the Nationalist from holding
their meeting on the next day.
Brigadier General Count A. z. w.
Gletchen, the commanding officer of the
district, is returning from Switzerland,
where he has been on vacation. The
merchants of the city are arranging
to barricade and board up their stores
in the vicinity of Ulster Hall.

A STATEMENT

The editor of The Advertiser
did not say that Col. Charles }.
Mccarthy of the board of har-
Dor commissioners had been
bought in connection with the
recent agreement between the
commission and the IIilo Railroad
Company, nor does he believe or
have the least reason to suspect
that Colonel Mccarthy or any
other member of the board was
bribed. Consequently, the ire
mendous showing of virtuous in
dignation on the part of Messrs.
Mccarthy, Berndt and Wakefield
at yesterday IS meeting of the
board was entirely superhuous,
except for what political effect
it was supposed to have.
The basis for Colonel McCar-
thy's indignation at the present
time appears to be a statement
made to him by Il. p. Irwin, edi-
tor of local weekly, WIN had
been discharged from this paper
for general unreliability and too
frequent intoxication. On We'd
nesday night, Irwin called up The
Advertiser by telephone and be-
gan to urge the support Of Nc
Carthy politically, apparently
doing his best to carry out
one Of McCarthy's errands. The
impression gathered by the editor
of The Advertiser was that Irwin
had been drinking and the con
yersation, so far as the editor of
this paper is concerned, was end
ed as soon as possible.
Within five minutes after Irwin
had rung off, Colonel Mccarthy,
very mad, called up and announc.
ed that he "would make it hot"
for The Advertiser editor and
dared this paper to publish "what
you told Irwin about me. +" After
other threats on the part of
Colonel Mccarthy, he explained
what he was talking about. The
editor Of this paper did not care
to explain over the telephone to
a mad man that what a drunken
man had told him was not the
truth, and Mccarthy was told to
go as far as be liked. Yesterday
morning, Mr. Henshall, Of The
Advertiser staff, was asked to see
Mr.. Mccarthy and assure him
that his Indignation was based :
upon mistake. This Mr.. Hen
shall did, but Mccarthy had too
good an opportunity to publicly
announce his virtue and fight his
straw man, adding a few misrep.
resentations Of his own to those
supplied him by his henchman,
Irwin.
As for the motion that the at,
torney general investigate "the
charges" against the harbor
board, that is nonsense, thrown
in to make a good measure for
the public.

Napoopoo, on the Island of Hawaii,
is apparently Paradise for nonogenari-
ans and centenarians. This was brought
out the other day when County Clerk
Kai, of Hilo, and his assistant David
Ewaliko, made canvass of the precinct
and discovered Ella X. Pa, just los
years old, hale and hearty and deter
mined to vote whenever he has the
opportunity.
The whole district seems full of aged
men and women. There are nonogenari-
ans and octogenarians and men of
seventy and sixty years. Any one nm
der sixty indeed seems to be regarded
as such an infant that it is hardly
right he should be allowed to vote.
These ancients of days seem to bear
the burden of their years on their bent
shoulders without any great difficulty.
Many of them are still able to write
and are full of life and vim.
Kai and Ewaliko were so thorough
in their canvass they say, that there
will be no need for making another.
One of the results of their registration
trip is to be seen in the following table
which compares the present registration
with that of last year.

Watching Developments
Closely.

PEklNG, February S.-ofiicial dis.
patches the this city from various
points in Manchuria announce that the
situation there is growing graver
steadily. One of the dispatches states
that n party of Chinese set upon and
killed an officer of the Russian army
after hard fight. Several of the as
sailants were arrested and are now
awaiting trial and punishment.
Still another dispatch reports the
clashing of band of Chinese with n
company of Russian soldiers escorting
a party of Mongols. The Chinese in
this instance did not begin the fighting,
but were attacked by the Mongols.
They replied with a volley and several
of the Russian troops we're slain as well
as number of Mongols. Troops were
sent after the Chinese band, but no
word has come from them.
The outbreak of rioting in Manchuria
has further complicated the situation
here and even the most optimistic
among the foreign diplomats in this
city are alarmed. All foreign repre-
sentatives are watching developments
in Manchuria carefully.

WILL DEVELOP
VALUABLE ACRES
Superintendent Smith to Guilt
vate Rich Soil of LunaIiIo
Home.

The agricultural possibilities of the
Lunalilo Home which has thirty acres
of rich hillside lands in Makiki, are to
be developed under the rule of A. II.
Smith, who has been selected super
intendent of the Home to succeed Mrs.
Ellen Weaver, who retires May l.
Trustees w. o. Smith, L. A. Mott
Smith and Mrs. Parker made their
selection Tuesday.
The trustees have had under con.
sideration about dozen names, but
having decided that a married couple
would serve the interests of the Home
better, many of the applicants were
eliminated. The new superintendent is
a brother of w. o. Smith, but the mat
ter of his appointment was taken out
of his hands and the other two de-
cided. Mr.. Smith, they believe is quail
fed to take hold of the affairs of the
Home, as he has, for some time past,
been engaged in investigating the
claims of many applicants for admis-
sion to the Home. This has been a
task which required considerable di-
plomacy. Many Hawaiians have APP
Piled for admission, and after being
admitted relatives objected. 1t was to
Offset just such situations that Mr..
Smith was employed to make an in
vestigation in each case so that rela-
tives and friends could be consulted
before final action was taken on appli-
cations.
Under Mr.. Smith the trustees expect
to develop the thirty acres and Guilt
vate vegetables and many other prod
ucts which will be of use to the insti-
tuition. The dairy and poultry divisions
will also be made larger so that the in.
mates may have larger supply of milk
and eggs.
Lunalilo Home has capacity of
about seventy Hawaiian inmates. The
list averages up to this number, and
there is generally waiting list.
