YUAN Leaving
CAPITAL CITY
Government Officials Send
Families From Peking as
Rebels Approach
(Special Gable to Liberty News.)

Especial Cable to Liberty News.)
SHANGHAI, China, March 3.-Rela-
tives of Yuan, Shih-Kai have left Pc
king for Tsingtau, and hundreds of
government officials have sent their
families away from Peking, as the ap-
proach of the revolutionary army
which has occupied districts in Chile
threatens the safety of the govern
ment officials in the capital.
Some Of the relatives of the gov.
ernment officials who went to Using
tau have left that city and are now in
Shanghai Several of these families
arrived today. They state that the
Japanese we're not giving good pro-
lection to them while they were So
journing in Tsingtau. Yuan Shih-Kai
in a statement urged the officials to
remain in Peking, as he does not ex-
pect a direct attack on that city.
The Shantung division of Yuan's
between Mongolia and Chilli, and
troops from HaJeh have been rushed
to the Shansi border.
Near City on Three Sides.
Republican troops are now within
100 miles Of Peking on three sides,
and an army corps from the south has
been ordered by Yuan Shih-Kai to
make an attack on the revolutionary
position .-= H. I'd. Ill
The situation in Human since the
two divisions went over to the repub-
licans is cleared and the revolution
lists now have the upper hand, al
though Yuan has ordered another divi-
sion to make an attack on the present
position now held by the republican
troops. Chang Sha, the capital, Is
still in the hanos of the monarchists,
and Yuan is making an attempt to
strengthen the force in this city
The republican troops have centered
their attacks on Human and Chile, of
which Peking is the capital, and
the camlaign in SEE Chuen has not
been pushed, assthe entire province is
practically in the hands of the rebels.

Queen GAVE NO
AUTHORITY TO
PERRY-KlJH|O

That information has come to him
that Queen Liliuokalani denies she
authorized Judge Antonio Perry to ap-
pear for her in the cause, is one of
the allegations made by Delegate Ku-
hio in his answer to the writ Of pro-
hibition issued IN the supreme court
in connection with Kuhio's equity suit
against the trustees of the Liliuoka-
lani Trust.
The delegate goes on to allege that
the pleadings which suggested his dis
qualification in the matter were filed
only by w. o. Smith, S. M. Damon and
Curtis p. Iaukea, trustees Of the trust
in which the queens property now is
held.
Concluding his answer, Kuhio asks
that the writ of prohibition be set
aside and that the original equity suit
be allowed to proceed in court to trial
and judgment by the court. Argument
on the writ is scheduled for 10 o'clock
next Monday morning in the supreme
court.

FIRE DESTROYS
REAR PORTION
OF LUCAS Mill
Actual Loss About $4,000,
and Big Contracts Hampered;;
to Rebuild of Concrete

Fire which broke out in the Homo
lulu Planning Mil, 655 Fort street, at
about o'clock this morning. destroy
ed all of the back portion OF the mill
before it could be put out by the fire
department. The cause Of the fire Is
unknown.
John Lucas, president and manager
of the mill company, said this morn
ing that he will rebuild Immediately,
erecting a fireproof structure in place
of the former sheds. which were OF
wood and corrugated iron! He places
a rough estimate on the actual fire
damage at somewhere between $4,000
and $4,000, with an additional loss OF
$4,000 from contracts which he will
be unable to carry through as planned.
Insurance to the amount of $4,000 or
$4,000 was carried on the burned por-
ton, which Mr.. Lucas said today was
not insured as high as the front or
the. mill. The entire mill carries In
surance of $4,000. r.. .<Z = =
Productive Part Ruined. -, ...-r.
"The damage is to the most produc-
tive part of the mill, however" said
Mr.. Lucas, land it will be hard to es-
innate the resultant loss by being un-
able to fulfil certain Of our contracts.
Besides large amounts Of lumber
and the mill structure itself destroyed
there are many portions OF the ma
chinery, betting and shafting, band
saws, a sandpaper machine Of much
value, carpenter shop, store room and
TOOLS
Mr.. Lucas gave orders to keep NOV
ing when he arrived on the scene this
morning, and work started soon in the
front and unharmed portion, which
also contains much machinery. Mean
while workmen are clearing out the
blackened ruins. How the fire starte't
is a mystery. The alarm was turned
in by a marine from the naval stati1D,
who signaIed from Box "a at Fort and
Allen streets. He said that when he
saw the blaze first he thought it vas
a pile of rubbish, but realized soon
after that the mill was on fire.
Central station engines and hose
carts arrived on the scene first. FOL
lowed soon by the Palama station,
which answered to second alarm,
Makiki station coming down to re-
lieve Central. ::
Gone Before Alarm Came. ,:... f.. /
THE structure was practically gone
before the alarm reached us first,
said Fire Chief Thurston today, "and
as we left the station at Fort and
Beretania we could see the reflection
from the flames lighting up the sky.
1T was a real fire." declares the
chief, "one of the biggest We have
had in a long while. The new en-
gines worked beautifully in this first
big tryout, in fact they saved the day
and kept it from being worse"
The new building, which will be
fireproof and larger, with arrange
ments under the most modern fash
ion, will be made Of concrete, accord
ing to Mr.. Lucas The company has
been in it's present quarters since
1878. Three or four small fires have
occurred before, but with little dam

Alcohol and Pneumonia

The United States public health ser
vice brands strong drink as the most
efficient ally of pneumonia. II de-
clares that alcohol is the handmade
en- of the disease which produces ten
per cent of the deaths in the United
States. This is no exaggeration. We
have known for long time that in
diligence in alcoholic liquors lowers
the individual vitality, and that the
man who drinks is peculiarly suscep-
tible to pneumonia The United
States public health service is a con
servative body. 1t does not engage I'm
alarmist propaganda In following
out the line of it's official duties it has
brought forcefully to the general pub
lie fact which will bear endless rep
etition. The liberal and continuous
user OF alcoholic drinks will do well
to heed this warning. particularly at
this season of the year when the grue-
some death toll from pneumonia is be-
ing doubled.

habit OF going Republican is no sign
II will continue.
The Democrats this year are united
and harmonious. The Republican
party is torn by internal strife and
dissension which will fail to yield To
the usual get together at election
prediction.
Last year the Republican legisla-
ture passed a primary election law
that practically disfranchises the IT,
2S4 Socialists and the 5,Sl6 Prohibi-
tionists. This law kills their party.
Will 1t drive them into the Republican
party? Certainly not. The large ma
jority OF them will go to the Demo-
cratic party for this one time, any
way, because that party has always
stood for a free ballot and fair
count.
Four years ago Hatfield was elected
by 8,769. An average disaffection OF
less than so votes to the county will
wipe this out.
