Public Told of Accident to Dry
dock Before Mass Had
Ceased Moving

The news of the disaster that over
whelmed the drydock was first given
to the public yesterday afternoon by
the StarBulletin in an extra edition
issued within twenty minutes from
the time that the story OF the accident
reached the city,
The Star Bulletins extra selling on
the streets by the hundreds was the
first intimation that most of the
people of the city had of the trouble
at Pearl Harbor. The extra edition
was sold in all parts of the city and
suburbs and by five o'clock the news
had been widely distributed. Even at
Watcrtown, a, short distance from
Pearl Harbor, many residents learned
OF the accident from reading the
paper
The earlier editions of the Star-Bul-
lctin carried the news that the pump
ilg-out process was almost complete
and that the navy engineers and con-
tractors were sanguine OF the success
OF the undertaking. Even as people
were reading of the probable success
of the drydock, the stunning Disaster
took place The news was telephoned
to Honolulu and less than twenty min
utes later was on the streets in the
headlines and story of the Star
Bulletin.

give his opinion as to the effect of the
disaster on Hawaii. The direct eff

come up. 1t will be remembered that,

The entire appropriation available
for furniture already has been used

The three divisions OF the circuit

heavily attended by the public taking
the second floor.

nearly fire-proof as it can be made.
