TOLL OF FLOOD
REACHES FORTY;
DAMAGE immense

ASSOCIATED Press by Federal Wireless)
ATLANTA, Ga, July 19.-The toll
of death by storm was largely in
creased today when it became known
that II persons were drowned In, the
villages of Bat Cave and Chimney
Rock, Rutherford County, North Caro-
lima.
The flood has now killed 40 persons
and perhaps a number more. Six are
missing and fears for their safety are
entertained. The waters in South
Carolina are still rising, but elsewhere
the floods are going down.
The damage done to property can
only be estimated from the scanty. re-
ports that have been received in the
central cities, but it certainly has
passed the staggering total OF SIS 5,0O0,'
900, and may go to $4,000, ,OG0 when
the last accounts are in.
The little mountain town OF CHM
ney Rock has been wiped out by the
floods that have swept down from
the mountains to the north. Chimney

HOPEFOR FIVE
. SOLDIERS GIVEN
UP BYOFF|CERS
Search For Men Who Left in
Launch Saturday Proves
of No Avail

The five Fort Shafter soldiers who
were last seen Saturday morning
when they took boat at Puuiki for
Pearl Harbor as told yesterday in the
Star-BuIletin are still missing and
military authorities have given UP
hope for their recovery although they
are still making every conceivable ef'
fort to find them.
Every Japanese newspaper today
bears advertisements inserted by
Deputy Sheriff Asch asking all fish
ermen to watch for boat like the one
thought. to be lost and every fishing
company that operates boats near
Honolulu has been notified by the
deputy to watch for the soldiers or
their craft and report at once any dis
coyery. ~ 49,.
Last night the naval tug Navajo
and the lighthouse tender Columbine
searched the waters about Kaena
Point with searchlights and sent
landing parties into the coves with
no success. The men not only have
disappeared but they have covered
their trail completely. Today the
searching parties have continued their
work farther out from land in the
waters southwest of Kaena Point.
Not even surmise of the soldiers
fate can be obtained from the Fort
Shafter officers. They only believe
the men are gone forever which i'm
plies drowning. The deputy sheriff
thinks that If the men are lost they
were swamped and went down in the
heavy surf that ran off Kaena Point
Sunday. ...1.-
Officers declare the four privates
and the corporal were all responsible
men and were bringing the boat in
under orders from Puuiki where they
had been stationed as a part of the
surveying crew of 2S. Cpl William
0'Reilly and Pvts. Michael Clark and
Thomas w. Murphy have all been in
Company. I, Engineers Corps, for
some time. The other two, Pvts.
Silas P. Birdsall and Raymond w.
Rinkler, Joined the army here just
this year.
II is thought there was rations IL
the boat for two days and there is a
bare possibility that the men might
have tried for one of the other ISL
ands. Although officers say the boat
could make the trip in an ordinary
sea they scout the idea. Even if they
had gained another island they surely
would have wirelessed where they
were, the officers say.
None of the men has any known
relatives in Honolulu.

Il might have said the same things

McCandless, who has been mention
ed both as Democratic candidate for
mayor of Honolulu and as candidate
for the delegateship, has assumed a
definite attitude with regard to the
letter sent to the president by Cir
cult Judge T. B. Stuart, the full text
of which swas published in the Star
Bullet Tuesday
YhiIe McCandless opinion on the
Stuart com nunication, as given the

sonal, it is thought likely they will car
ry weight in any definite stand which
may be taken by that faction OF the
local Bourbon party of which McCand'
less is the undisputed leader.
McCandleSs' personal opinions as
to the Stuart letter, which are self
explanatory, follow:
Responsibility Is Disclaimed
Anything which Judge Stuart may
have done was the result of his own
ideas. We had nothing to do with
the letter which he wrote to the presi-
dent and / knew nothing of the ma
ture of its contents until | read the
letter in the newspaper. AS far as we
know, the letter was his own idea.

COAST REPORT IS
100000 Hotel 0
FOR HONOLULU
San Francisco Paper Tells OF
. Project for Building to
Have 1000 Rooms

That the project Of building and
conducting great tourist hotel in or
near Honolulu is taking on more def
mite form is indicated from further
mainland reports. In its edition OF
July 8 the San Francisco Bulletin
un6er the head lines of 100000
Hotel for Honolulu" publishes the fol-
lowing:
THE continued absence of Temple
ton Crocker in Honolulu developed
the fact today that tentative plans
exist to build through a Hawaiian
and San Francisco syndicate a new
tourist hotel in. or near, Honolulu
with a thousand rooms, at a cost Of
100000.
Capt. William Matson of this city
and Louis w. Hill of st. Paul. both
of whom are greatly interested in
the islands because of the many pas
sengers their steamers carry be-
tween this port and Honolulu, are to
be in the hotel pool, or syndicate.
Hill Now Considering
j. C. Gilman of Portland, Ore,
Hills railroad and steamship presi-
dent on the Pacific coast. has the mat
ter before Mr.. Hill now.
"Templeton Crocker, his mother-in-
law, Mrs. w. G. Irwin. and his sister,
Mrs. Jennie Whitman. are also to
join the syndicate, as well as Robert
Shingle and several others of the
sugar milliOnaires of the islands.
EWhen the Hill steamers, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, were
carrying crowds of Fasteners all
last winter to the islands, the neces-
sity for a 1000-room modern hosteIry
was seen.
Under ST. Francis Management
The promise of Hill and Gilman to
have a regular winter service gave
the proposition added impetus, and
now Templeton Crocker and his rela-
tives have become interested in it,
especially in view Of the fact that
the members of the pool wish the
new hotel to be under the direction
of the st. Francis hotel management
of this city.
1T is definitely known the owners
of the st. Francis are only to be part
owners of the new Honolulu hotel.
presumably holding one of six differ
ent syndicate stock holdings"
