The widespread destruction on Maui
caused by the storm is emphasized in
stories brought to Honolulu today by
local residents who were in Wailuku
or Lahaina when the storm was at its
height.
The worst of the storm was late
Tuesday night and early Tuesday
morning. 1t was then that lao valley
was deluged and the water rose SO
high that deaths came with appalling
rapidity.
News is brought Of the narrow es.
cape of John Ferreira, deputy sheriff
from his inundated home in upper lao
valley. The house had only recently
been finished. At o'clock Tuesday
morning Ferreira was awakened to
find the water deep on the floor of his
bedroom. He succeeded in getting HIS
wife and one of their children from
the house and carried them through
the rushing waters to the higher road
way, so yards distant He then re-
turned for the two other children BY
this time the water was up to his
neck and 1t was barely possible for
him to keen his footing. BY tremen-
dous exertion he got into the house.
reached the other two children and
got them to the road, half-swimming
and half-walking.
This experience Is illustrative Of
the great rapidity with which the wa
ter rose after the cloudburst. At
many points in the valley the water
went up four feet in less than five
minutes.
Debris damned az Wailuku Eriduc
At Wailuku Market street bridge

luku. In this vicinity at least 20 small
stores and dwellings went under wa
ter or were smashed IN by the force
OF the torrent and the boulders
brought down from above. A new
store near the bridge, Just completed
at a cost of $4,000, was completely
wrecked and its contents destroyed.
At Waihee the damage was consid-

site the mill connecting with Waihee
was carried away. Waihee was under
water yesterday and no communities

age to cane is in this neighborhood,

"The Lahaina road is all washed

Charlie" well known to railroad men
throughout southern Arizona, has been
committed to the state asylum for the
insane here. Twenty years ago
Charlie" was an engineer for the
Southern Pacific. One day at the end
of his run, he received word that his
wife and daughter had been killed in a
train wreck near Bowie, the wreck hav-
ing been caused by broken rail Re-
signing his position, Charlie" began
walking the tracks looking for broken
rails, an occupation that he kept up
year after year. Carrying a blanket
and frying pan, he walked from Yuma
to Ell Paso and return time after time,
always refusing to ride, and reporting
any defects in the track TO the nearest
section house. OF late years Charlie
has become much more feeble, and his
mind, which was unbalanced years ago
| by news Of the wreck that broke ur
his home, showed symptoms Of growing
worse. He was adjudged insane in the
superior court of Cochise county, and
brought to the state asylum here to
pass his remaining days.

MANY CHANGES
ARE COMING IN
THE CAb|NET 7

WASHINGTON, Dec. Especial
orrespondence.)-A favorite sport in
Washington just now is the remaking
of the presidents cabinet 1t seems to
be taken for granted that there will be
several changes in the personnel of
Mr.. Wilson's official family after the
fourth of March and speculation has
already marked Messrs. McAdoo. Greg
ory and Houston as certain to retire
from office.
Mr. McAdoo is said to contemplate
entering banking in New York, which
city, also, is reported to have enticed
Mr. Gregory with a chance to associ-
ate himself with a big law firm. Mr..
Houston is said to be going back to his
place in st. Louis as chancellor OF
Washington University, where vice.
chancellor has been holding down the
job as against his chiefs return. Mr..
Redfield, too, is thought to have out
nved his usefulness as Secretary of
Commerce, though his future is unde-
cided by any gossip now afloat here;
while Josephus Daniels retention as
head of the Navy Department is the
dark secret of life at the capital.
The new cabinet is expected to show
wider geographic distribution than
the present one, wherein the South and
New York occupy dominating positions.
Mr.. Wilson was the first president in
many years who did not have New
England man at his council table, and
it is expected that this section will
now receive recognition. Senator Hollis
Of New Hampshire, has been suggested
in this connection, and the fact that
his state went for Wilson gives some
force to the idea. But, inasmuch as
New Hampshire has a republican gov
ernor who would name republican
successor to Mr.. Hollis in the case of
his translation to the cabinet, 1T is un-
likely that the Granite State will have
such an honor, even though the senate
still has democratic majority OF
twelve. President Harry Garfield OF
Williams College is looked upon here
as much more likely to be struck by
cabinet lightning if a Yankee is to be
taken. Mr.. Garfield, though nominal
republican. supported Mr. Wilson,
whose son in law, Francis B. Sayfe, is
Mr.. Garfield's assistant and might De
in line for promotion to the presidency
of the college in case his superior
should get a portfolio. This consid-
Grafton may not deter the president
from lecting Mr. Gargield.
Senator Walsh of Montana is thought
The Arizona copper camp., 1916-12-02

to be probable cabinet member as a
representative of the West, and in his
case there is no situation such as mill
tates against Senator Hollis. Senator
Walsh was in charge of the Chicago
headquarters of the democracy in the
campaign and, like others of the faith
full he doubtless feels that he should
have reward. Henry Morgenthau,
also, is in the class of deserving demo-
Gratis who labored in the vineyard dur
ing the recent period of harvesting
democratic votes. Mr.. Morgenthau is
believed to have some kind of promise
outstanding from the president follow
ing his resignation of the CONSTANT
nople embassy to take up campaign
work, and the wise ones look for him
to relaize on his expectations

turning by way, of Ray and Superior,
the party will go to Prescott, Jerome

Last summer l made up my mind
to give a great deal Of attention to
Arizona copper investments in the fu-
ture and to bring a large party OF my
clients and friends to Arizona at the
first opportunity, said Mr. Deer. when
interviewed this week at Tucson. We
will most likely become more heavily
interested in Arizona and the chances
are that aoout the first of the year
l shal bring a large party of clients
and friends several of whom are
members of tine New York Stock Elk
change on tour of the Arizona cop
per camps.
From Ajo we will go to Phoenix
and take in the Salt River valley and
motor via the Roosevelt dam to Globe
to look over the Inspiration and Miami
mines. We anticipate having our cars
shifted to Ray in order to look over
the Ray Consolidated, in which sew
eral of our party are substantially In
terested. This visit will also include
Ray Hercules, of the stock of which
company we have handled many thou
sand shares with much profit to our
clients.
After visiting the southern Ari.pna
copper camps Prescott will be visited,
and from there we will take in the
Consolidated Smelling company prop
critics, Crown King and other points of
interest around Prescott making a
special trip to the Jerome district, as
we are very much interested in look
ing over the Verde coppers. especially
United Verde Extension, Jerome Victor
and Green Monster, in which we are
also heavily interested.
"Our trip in Arizona will be con-
cluded by visit to the Grand canyon,
from where we will return via the
Santa Fe. When 1 come to Arizona
again in January expect to bring at
least 200 of my associates. friends and
clients and anticipate making a
months stay among the copper camps
Of the state.
