Police CONTINUE
TO INVESTIGATE
EXPLOSION

1t was learned yesterday afternoon
that three suspicious characters had
been lowering about the big sugar
warehouses at the upper end of the
barbor and at the scene of the terrific
explosion which occurred there early
Wednesday evening, causing material
damage to one heavily laden freight
car, spreading the rails over which a
train was passing, and endangering
the lives of six persons connected with
the train crew, all of which was first
told in the Star-Bulletin yesterday.
Police investigation today has de-
veloped beyond a doubt that the ex-
rlosiye used in partial wrecking Of
equipment belonging to the Oahu Raiit
way and Land Company was removed
fIom the Matson Navigation steamer
Hilonian. This vessel is reported TO
have sailed from San Francisco and
Sound ports with large quantity OF
giant and black powder, as well as
dynamite.
Railway officials are disinclined to
believe that revenge was the motive
for the explosion which sent columns
of debris flying in the congested ware
house district on the waterfront.

Up out of the jungle wastes of
Africa came DR.. Fillippi Silvestri this
morning. There was an expression
of triumph on his face sas he walked
down the gang plank of the Sonoma
to greet entomotogists OF this city,
who received word two months ago
that DR.. Silvestri had discovered a
parasite to destroy the Mediterran-
can fly, which is responsible for a
ban having been put on the shipment
Of many Hawaiian fruits.
In his eyes there was the flash OF
genius, and his step was that OF con-
fidence. In Two years the pest will
no longer be unmanageable and the
ban on fruits and produce will be a
thing of the past. 1t was this assur-
ance he brought this morning as he
left the ship which carried him on
the last lap of his long trip.
The hardships, experienced in the
remote places of Africa, the defeat
only to be overcome by persever.
ance and genius, the struggle to keep
the parasites alive when caught
these things were forgotten this
morning by Italy's eminent entomol-
ogist, as he squared himself to new
battle, to overcome new obstacles,
and to smile on a new triumph-the
determination of the Mediterranean
fly on the islands of Hawaii.
DR.. Silvestri is both confident and
modest. He says he has been de-
feated before and may be defeated
again, and the toll and hardships of a
year brought unsuccessfully to an
end But in the next breath he tells
you he is certain of success and only
the worst of ill-fortunes can rob him
of it. Those who met him at the
Oceanic wharf listened to his laconic
account of his work in Africa and the
tedious trip to this city, his assur-
ance that the parasites were alive
and would live and propagate, at the
end of which he found himself con-
graduated on all sides.
He was taken in an automobile to
the station of the Board of Agricul.
ture and Forestry by E. NJ. Ehrhorn.
entomologist at the station. There
lis first thought was for his para
sites. which are contained in a score
of little bottles. Temporary arrange
ments were made for the keeping of
the insects Later the doctor will
prepare a little house for them and
