was visited by one of the largest fires
of it's history this morning when the
large main building Of Clafin uni
versity, a negro college supported by
the Northern Methodist church, was
practically destroyed by fire. The
alarm was sent In about 1140 o'clock
this morning and when the fire de-
partment reached the scene, the roof
was mass of flames. The origin Of
the fire is mystery. When discover
ed, the fire was. roaring flame, ap-
pearing to have been burning some
time.
The main building was three
story brick structure and very large
building. In this building were To-
Gated class rooms, girls dormitory,
presidents office and other offices,
dining room, kitchen in annex, etc.
All of the students were gotten out
of the building in safety. A large
amount Of the students personal eff
fects were saved and some personal
property of the college, but the loss
OF personal property was great.
The large main building of the State
college for negroes, which is four
story building, was in close proximity
to the fire, but at no time was i'm
serious danger of destruction. About
two years ago Badham hall, girls
dormitory of the State college, was
destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of
about 100000.
There was a stiff wind during the
fire, but luckily the wind blew in the
most favorable direction to prevent
spread of fire to Observation-Disclosures
Although the firemen fought valiantly.
the wind famed the flames and the
building was reduced to ashes except
the kitchen annex, which was saved.
The fire was me of the largest oc-
curing in Orar geburg for lorg time
and the largest fire ever happening
here in which only one building was
destroyed
The building destroyed was valued
at between $4,000 and 100000. The
insurance carried upon the building
amounted to $4,000 and the amount
carried on the furniture amounted to
$4,000, making a total of $55 900 in
surance. DR.. l.. NJ. Dunton, presi-
dent of Claflin university, stated that
the school would run smoothly along
as plenty of room would be provided
in other buildings for class rooms and

MACHINE GUN
WORK ON OAHU
j.. -! - s.. -
HAS RESULTS
Organization May Be Changed
Owing to Problems Worked
Out Here Last Year

AS the direct result of firing prob
lens conducted in the Hawaiian de-
partment year ago, for war strength
machine gun companies, theresis like
ly to be a revolution in the organizes
tion of the machine gun rdetachments
Of infantry and cavalry regiments.
Lieutenant F. p. Jackson, 2fld Infan-
try, last year worked out some en-
tirely new problems, showing the ef-
ficiency of consolidated machine gun
platoons in action, and it was predict
ed at that time that a move would
probably be made to make larger Or
ganizations for each regiment. Now,
according to recent dispatches from
Washington, it is planned to make the
machine gun outfit separate COM
pany for each regiment, which will
undoubtedly mean, say army officers
here, an increase in strength as well.
With the platoons of the 1st and End
Infantry, and the 5tn Cavalry, COM
Dined, Lieutenant jackson last year
made some really wonderful records,
firing at silhouette targets in platoon
columns. and also guarding bridges
and other positions in night firing,
where the range had been previously
determined.
Lt-Col Harry C. Hale, United
States Army, acting chief of the d.
vision of militia affairs, has issued an
important bulletin touching on the
organization of machine gun platoons
IN regiments Of the organized militia,
and suggesting that the infantry regi-
ments of militia create a thirteenth
company, to be known as a machine
gun company, in anticipation of the
law governing such organizations in
the regular army being changed so
that the machine gun platoons of reg
ulor infantry regiments may be known
as a thirteenth company, and given
added strength.
1t is possible that the experiments
conducted at Schofield Barracks more
than IL months ago, may mean an ad-
dition to the national guard of Ha-
waii, in tine near future, as well as

The letter, in part. reads: The
smallpox epidemic still is ON the in

antined for a 14-day period and the
loss to business is estimated at 9150,-
600 a day. Vaccination is the order
of the day and every passenger land

rates are reported to be abnormally
high and the cost of living is said to
be more than so per cent higher than
before the outbreak of the epidemic.
"A number of persons are reported
TO have lost an arm as the result of
the use of poor vaccine or from the

$53, 900 Lawsuit

. Today's hearing of Captain Fred

against Father Emmanuel Rougier
was featured by an exchange Of the
short, ugly word between their legal
counsel. No blows we're struck, how
ever, a timely warning from the court
checking the possibility Of any phys

The clash arose between Attorney

Attorney Thompson representing

was due largely, Thompson asserts,
to the courtroom's poor acoustics
straining tempers already soreIy tried
by the tedium Of a lengthy trial.
Attorney Thompson, seeking to get
the correct statement of Father Rou,
gier, who was on the witness stand,
tmisquoted him and Attorney Thonp-
son in turn was corrected by the
court
: Il beg your pardon Thompson
AYERS he, remarked. to the court
Yes" retoFted Warren, "and you
knew in the first place what the wit

You're a har!" shouted Thomp-
son.
Gentlemen, gentlemen! No such
remarks" warned the court, and turn
ing to the witness, added: You will
please speak louder so that opposing
counsel can hear you plainly" While
Attorney Warren's retort to Thomp-
sons remark was obvious, no one 9TH
.er than himself knows whether he ae-
tually said it, but he at once resum-
ed direct examination of the witness
and the incident was closed.
S. NJ. Damon was called to the wit
ness stand for few moments today
by the defense to contradict Captain
Miller's statement that among those
with whom he had opened negotiations
for the sale Of Tanning and Washing
ton islands was Damon. The latter
testified that he had never been ap-
preached by the captain atsany. time
