four residences by fire.
Gross was engaged in repairs on
an automobile and had been using IL
fire in forge. After finishing his
work and before closing up his shop
he proceeded To put out the fire by
throwing on it what he supposed
was a can of water, but by mistake
picked up ii can OF gasoline and threw
it upon the A ,me. Ths resulting ex
plosion threw the unfortunate man
through an adjoining 70 )m and out
side the building. Ready hands were
soon ut the scene and removed his
burning clothing, but it was soon
apparent that in the enveloping
flames every inch OF the mans body
was scared and cooked except his
feet, which were protected by his
shoes. He lived but couple of
hours and remained concious almo>

EDITOR

But that was when president W llS0n was at the
height of his popularity and power. Later on,
when the administration began to fall into dis.
repute, Senator Poindexter began to break
away from his w-found political friends and
allies, and after the election of last November,
which indicated clearly that the Democrats
were losing ground and demonstrated that the
third party, as a unity, was rapidly dwindling,
Senator Poindexter apparently began to devote
much thought to his own political future. The
record shows that he wavered. 1t was clear as
daylight that Poindexter's career in the Senate
must end with his present term unless he could
get back into his old party and reinstate him
self in the graees of its members. His return,
therefore, caused little surprise to those who
had been watching his course during the last
six months, and least of all to those who were
familiar with the ease with which he adapted
his political opinions to the exigencies of job
holding
The Washington Post observes that the
numerous reasons assigned by Poindexter for
his switch are of no consequence. The fact
that there is no longer Progressive party is
sufficient reason for his return to the Repub-
lican fold, says this paper. 1.-The statement
in which he gives his reasons for deciding to
seek reelection as Republican is very long,
but It can be sifted down to the fact that the
voters who followed the Bull Moose in 1912
are now back in the Republican party.
And the Washington Star aptly says that
Senator Poindexter realizes now that the fight
both in his own state and in the nation is be-
tween the two old parties. Ellis Bull Moosery
did not impair his belief in Republican funda-
msntaIs. Strong language about old differences
does not possess healing properties. It is never
recommended as substitute for balm''

CRITICISM OF THE BRITISH NAVY.

The opinion was expressed in these columns
yesterday that the loss Of thu. Lusitania and
subsequent criticism of the British navy had
something TO do with the retirement Of Winston
Churchill and Baron Fisher. 1t is interesting
TO find the following from the pen of q. noted
correspondent from Washington to the Chicago
Daily News, just 70 hand; - : d. ,s.. ].
In official circles here there is disposition,
in view of the Lusitania and other Incidents to
inquire: What of the British navy So far
as official information goes il appears that the
Lusitapia was proceeding without convoy.
Why! While official judgment on the whole
incident viii be withheld until all the facts are
known, these are questions to which answers
are desired here The first impression is that
the Britishnayy will not escape criticism"

Senator Poindexter of Washington did not
come to Hawaii with the congressional party,
though originally he was booked to do SO. Per-
haps he changed his mind about this as, the

During the first year of the Wilson admin

of the Democrats, and when trouble arose in
the Democratic ranks in the senate over. parti-

to offset the loss of one insurgent Democratic
vote. Repeatedly Ire made good in this respect
