LOSES LIFE IN
FALL FROM TRUSS
Gus Anderson, Armory Subcon-
tractor, Victim of Fatal
Accident.

Gus Anderson, sub.contractor en-.
gagged in erecting the steel girders and
trusscs of the National Guard of la.
waii armory, met death yesterday morn.
ing at rine O'Clock in a fall from the
top of truss.
Anderson and his partner, H. John
son, both of whomsare sub.contractors
under the Honolulu Planning Min, which
holds the contract for the building,
were working on the top of the truss
which was being set in place in one
of the uprights, The truss had been
settled, apparently, and the men were
raising the steel pearlings that run
from truss to truss, when suddenly the
truss started to go over. Anderson
fell to the basement, while johnson
held on. The distance was sixty-two
feet. Anderson struck steel girder
lying on the ground and was manged.
He was still living when the ambulance
started with him for the hospital but
soon expired.
|
lulu Planning Mill, and L. H. Bigelow
constructing engineer, state that no
ropes were broken at all. The truss
itself gave way in an inexplicabie
manner.
at was one of those accidents
which just happen in steel construc-
tion,' said Mr.. Bigelow last evening
"Johnson told me that it was an ac-
cident which was unavoidable and that
no blame is attached to any one lie as.
sured me that no ropes were broken.
"Anderson and johnson, being sub
contractors, had entire control of their
work, subject to our supervision.
The junior member Of the architect
firm of Ripley & Davis, who designed
the armory building, states that there
were no structural defects in the steel
Mr.. Lucas states that Mr. Bigelow
mt the expense of the Honolulu Plan
ing Mill, had bolted large timbers to
the uprights in order to make the up
right steel posts sarer. They did moi
have to 10 this, but took this extra pre-
caution.
Anderson was about thirty.one year,
of age, and weighed about 200 pounds
lie was an expert steel worker, having
been used to the work for ten years

jobs at Pearl !larbor naval station anC

(By Federal Wireless Telegraph
NEW YORK, July 24.-(Speeial to
The Advertiser)- Today's early stock
market presented curious contradic-
tion Of conditions, most of the poten-
tial issues showing heavy tendency,
while various specialties made mate
rial gains. A prominent feature was
New Haven, which declined to new
low record, but soon recovered to a
fraction above Yesterdays close.
Baltimore 4 Ohio, which declined
one and one'half points, also made par
tial recovery. Smelling, Cotton, Oil
and Colorado Fuel displayed some
heaviness. Peoples gas was strong
est of the specialties, its rise approx
mating four points. Biscuit, Beet
Sugar American Tobacco and South
ern Pacific gained from one and three
quarters to over two points. Trading
was dull and professional.
In government bonds, threes and
fours fell to low records in prices.
Fairly large buying orders gave the list
an aspect of activity and strength at
midday. Scarcity of stocks on the pre-
yious decline also disclosed strong
technical position which facilitated the
brisk upturn.
Steel, Union Pacific, Reading, Cana.
dian Pacific and the Coppers rose from
one to one and one.half points above
yesterdays close, before leaving small
profits to check the movement The

Although when he appeared before

MISSING BARON

Baron Won Woellwarth is be

the city, and close watch is being
feld on a downtown house where he is
alleged to have hired lodgings four
days ago.
Chief McDuffie visited the house,
which is not far from the Catholic
Cathedral, yesterday morning and the
evening previous. The evasive report
made by the landlady, who recently ar.
rived from Manila, did not satisfy the
chief, and he is now of the opinion
that the "baron' did not leave the
city on the Honolulan.

PROTESTS BY CABLE co To WASHINGTON AND DETAILS
WILL Be MAILED To SENATORS BY FIRST STEAMER

While L. T.. Pinkham has been nom
mated for Governor of Hawaii, he has
not been confirmed by the senate yet,
and as this confirmation is necessary
before the man who claims residence in
Honolulu, Hongkong and Manila ~
takes his office, only the flip-fop fra
ternity in the local Democratic party
has given any vent to enthusiasm.
On the streets and in the business
houses, there, was much surprise ex-
PRESSED at the appointment of Pink
ham, but no noticeable pleasure, and
il is supposed his friends here, taking
cOgnizance of the old adage about the
slip between the cup and the lip, have
decided to wait.
But the announcement that President
Wilson has nominated the aged Re-
publican warhorse for Governor has had
the somewhat unexpected effect of stir
ring mp strong and organized opposition,
which, while it may have been born
late IN the day, will, it is said, deprive
the senators of any excuse in the future
that they were not thoroughly acquaint-
ed with Pinkham S record.
Protests Cabled.
Republicans and Democrats alike, it
is said, have joined to make bitter
fight in the senate against the confirma.
ton of Pinkham, and several cable
messages We're dispatched yesterday
which should have the effect of holding
mp confirmation until mass of data
to be forwarded on the Sierra tomor.
row can reach Washington and be
placed before the Senate.
One of the points to be raised, in
addition to the charges which are t.
be filed, is that Pinkham is not a resi-
dent of Hawaii and has not been sine,

President Wilson ignored the provision

Oxford Sports and Rhodes Scholars.

Oxford has imposed certain restrictions on the
participation of Rhodes scholars in her sports which
have called forth considerable criticism in this coun
try We recommend therefore, the perusa Of
letter from an oxford alumnus, printed in another
of his alma mater against those who have seen in
her new rules what has been called the traditional
English attitude toward American athletic rivalry.
Few will quarrel with him, think, over the
fairness of the provision excluding Rhodes scholars
from the oxford freshman sports, since Americans
must have reached the junior grade in one or an
other of our colleges universities before becoming
eligible for the scholarships and manifesty no
longer freshmen in athletics, whatever their mental
attainments 1t is more particularly the provision
forbiddng men over twenty-four years OF age 10
compete in the annual varsity sports that has
aroused suspicion on this side. IN this relation our
correspondent points out that the average age OF
the Rhodes scholar upon entering is less than
twenty years and that, as the residence at oxford
is only for three years, the bulk Of the Rhodes
scholars will not be affected by the rules enforce
ment.
But however fair to all concerned these restric-
tons may prove it is unfortunate that their IMPOSE
ton should have followed closely upon the heels
of the agitation carried In the English press for
change in tennis rules to debar such a service
McLoughlins, which in turn succeeded the move
ment to have England withdraw from the Olympic
Games. Under the circumstances Englishmen have
only themselves to thank for what may have been
a too hasty judgment in the present case

acts of hostility. No armed Intervention Will take

Murphy does 60 he will feel the full force OF that
moral suasion" under which the Mexican usurper
has sat uncomfortably these many months. The
administration will frown at Murphy as hard and as
steadily as 1t is frowning at Huerta.
For our part, we expect more from moral suasion
in politics than we do from moral suasion In diplo
macy Murphy will fall an easier victim before a
rebuking glance than his fellow tyrant on our South
ern border The Tammany ruler totters vsibly
And failure to recognize is graver thing In politics
than in diplomacy With moral suasion applied to
the Tammany boss will go pacific blockade
which is an admitted impossibity in the affairs OF
nations We do not look for war. If President
Wilson could have cut off the supply of offices south
of the Rio Grande as he cut it off south of the
Harlem the Mexican boss would have fallen long
ago.
