VIII Honolulu be confronted with n
terrible holocaust, through fire or
panic mt one Of its crowded moving
picture theatres, snufiing or crushing
out hundreds of lives of women and
children. likened to the Chicago Thea
ire horror OF years ago, before the
proper officials of the city and county
awaken to their duty? .
This was the gist Of n note of warn.
ing sounded In no mistaken manner
by Supervisor Eben Low, at a gain.
ering of municipal lawmakers and
citizens last evening, when in the
course of stirring appeal. he pointed
finger OF scorn at his colleague,
Supervisor Murray. chairman of the
police committee and inquired:
where were the city police on Mon.
day evening. when thousands Of PEG.
pie struggled and fought their way
out OF the Bijou' theatre, through pas
sage ways which were congested with
humanity"
Had fire or a panic occurred at
the Biiou theatre on Monday night.
hundreds Of people, men. women and
children would have lost their lives, .
so insisted Low In the scathing de.
nuciation of the woeful lack of polio
ing of this place of amusement.
Low further charged that the exist.
ing city ordinances were being viola,
ed in the handling OF the crowd. lie
also contended that the lack of sys-
TEN prevailed In taking care of the
people who attend the performances
Before Low finished the sounding
of his direful prediction, he again
called upoh Murray as chairman OF
the police committee to take the mat
ter up with Sheriff jarrett with a view
of correction of what he declared
was violation Of the laws.
Murray attempted to come back AT
his superyisorial antagonist by stat
ing that whenever he believed It ne
cessary to correct the police depart
ment or offer suggestions for the bet
terment of the service, he failed to Sc
cure the support of the majority OF
the board.
