today all the lower section Of Broome

rage mingled with the grief murmurs
The hand of death rested upon the
factory but Is minutes. In that short
time the fire had crumbled supposed

dust and twisted iron and snuffed out
between sixty and seventy-five lives,
That fire should dart suddenly beneath

along the ceiling and in less than five
minutes have the entire building in its
blighting grasp, is more than the police
and firemen can fathom. There is but
one answer-incendiarism But this

INORDICA WOULD MEET THE QUEEN
~ ZOE gos
IPRIMA DONNA WILL LIVE HERE
AMERICAS FAV0RITE
SINGER is IN LOVE
WITH THE ISLANDS

When Madame Lillian Nordica left
her apartments in the Moana Hotel
at noon today, dressed in a simple
afternoon gown of blue, she sighed
that she had at last found her para
disc and wcufd never wish TO leave.
She stood on the lanai Of her hosiery,
overlooking the sea, and declared that
when the time came for her TO select
a home within which to spend the
rest OF her days, she would make her
way back to, Honolulu.
Last night she listened from her
apartments to the Hawaiian singers as
they sang in the ballroom of the hotel,
and the singular beauty of their
voices will never be forgotten by her,
she says. When she was told that
Green Liliuokalani had composed
many of the native songs, including
Aloha De, Americas favorite singer
expressed her deep desire to meet
the former ruler of the islands.
Today was the first time Madame
Nordica left her apartments for any
time since her arrival yesterday.
Tired from her trying tpnr oyer the
continent, she remained in her cabin
during the voyage from San Fran
cisco, and it was. not until this morn
ing that she pronounced herself
rested, ready for her concerts and
to see the sights Of the islands.
AS she sat in the arbor OF the
Sloana, leaning back in comfortable
steamer chair, she declared that
mutiny might overcome her when the
time arrived for her departure for
Australia.
1T is so wonderful here am
afraid | will never be able to leave
| feel that I am in a little paradise
in which dwell a few chosen people
and | am longing to be one of them
This, of course, is my first visit to
He nolulu, but it shall not be my
last.

meet all the good people. Especially
do wish to meet Queen Liliuokalanl
whom l have heard so much of, and
for whom already feel a deer

Of all this" she made a semi-circle

HlGEIFrING THE CLOUD

The Buffalo Courier editorially sees as "a
Cloud on the Horizon" the Japanese question as
it involves Hawaii's position on the Pacific.
Says the Courier:
"In view of the anti-Japanese agitation in
California it is peculiarly significant that in Ho-
nolulu the missionaries and church leaders are
circulating petition among American residents
urging President Wilson to advocate the abOli-
ton of all racial discrimination in dealing with
naturalization. 1t is. argued that the adoption
of such policy would aid in solving the Japan
csc problem in the Hawaiian islands
among the japanese on those islands there
is menacing unrest owing to the enactment of
the discriminating antialen land law in Cali
fornia. There is a grim, ominous propaganda
that .Japan's honor is at stake"
There is some truth and some inaccuracy in
the editorial above. Military preparations in
these islands have been going forward for num-
Der of years and long before the California con-
tr9yersy arose, the war and navy departments
had given hurry-up orders on the movement of
troops and equipment here and the completion
of the Pearl Harbor naval station 1t is quite
true of course that there is some uneasiness felt
over the possible result of Californias action,
even though in some quarters that action is APP
plauded. 1t is not true, though, that s'among the
Japanese in those islands there is menacing
unrest" Japanese and Americans alike will
bear witness that the California controversy
hardly evoked a ripple among the Nipponese res
idents of Hawaii. The Japanese are disturbed
ten times as much over the prospect of sugar dis
aster here over the vague possibility of strain
ed relations between the two countries.
