night, whom only sixty-nine hundredths
Of an inch fell.
From the first Of january, this
year, TO date said Mr.. Hamri,k last
night, Eve had total Of 1904 inches
of rain. The great amount of rain we
have had in such a short period Of tim
can be easily appreciated when il is
known that the average rainfall rec.
orJed at this station during the last

Record Rainfall Since Christmas
sfSince Hast Christmas Eve to dat,
this station has recorded a total of
1858 inches, OF 2.S3 inches more fol
a month than the average for each of

up gradually. The wind is moderating
greatly and during the twelve hours
from midnight Tuesday to noon today
the average wind velocity is about
twenty miles an hour. During the af.
sernoon the wind has been very mod

Damage Done Tuesday Night
Tuesday night 3 late downpour was
general over the CENTRAL portion of Ho-
nolulu, but out Kaimuki-way it was
very light and the roads were not rag
ing streams as were the streets IN the
main city. The concrete forms just
finished by city laborers for the work
of repairing the Maikiki flume wer,
swept away and conditions there re.
turned to what they had been previous,
ly, when the storm of last week brokt
and demolished the fume. 49,.
As the result of Tuesday night Is
heavy rains more than anything else
probably, the driIl tower which rose To
height of sixty-fve feet, fell in the
rear Of the central fire station. 1t had
already been condemned as useless ano
dangerous, but was left standing, how
ever. In its fall it escaped hitting any
thing but the length of the alley way
which il chose for a temporary resting
place. No damage was done to any
thing but the very rotten timber of thu
tower itself. ..

RAILROAD MEN OF NATION MAY
 GO ON STRIKE

NEW YORK. January %. - The greatest apprehension of railroad of icials were dlscernable this afternoon when a report reached the head office of the Employees Association that there was soon to be called a general strike on all railroads in the coun' try
 It has been known for some weeks that a referendum vote was being ta- ken among the organized employees of the railroads of the United States. It was definitely stated this afternoon by labor uuion leaders that the vote would certainly be for general strike. The men have been agitat- ing the proposition for months.
 The railroad officials view the out look with concern. There is not a railroad in the East at the present time that is not crowded with freight. The great movement of freight is the largest in the history of the country. Freight from the West is being con tested and if a strike should result, it would be a disastrous blow Co the en- tire country.

 BLAMED

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio. Jan. 25. - From the secret chamber of the grand jury room where the East Youngstown riots, during which four persons were killed, more than 100 injured and property to the value of
 S1.5OO,OO destroyed. are being in- vestlgated. comes word that an inves- tigation is in progress which may be of international importance.
 Prosecutor A. NJ. Henderson and Henry s. Ballard, of Columbus, First Assistant Attorney General. refuse to disclose what the investigation has revealed specifically, but they admit that indications point to the fact that foreign influences caused the reign of anarchy
 What the foreign Influences were Is known in general way to the inyes. tigators. It has been learned that in- dications point to an international scheme. Foreign governments, who would benefit by the crippling of American concerns engaged in the of war munitions, had a hand in what at first appeared to be a dlsorganized riot, it Is said.
 It also is reported the grand jury is Investigating the charge that consid- erable money was used in investigate ing the riots. Prosecutor Henderson admitted that the recent report of the grand jury. in which 70 Indictments involving 26 defendants were return ed. is merely a scra,ch on the surface.
 After working day and night for a week most of the riot cases against county prisoners from East Youngs- town have been disposed of by Squire p. NJ. Faust. X total of 1sO defend ants have been arraigned and most of them fined or held to a grand jury.

England Is Now Prepared To Strike Blow
VILLA IS NOT
 IN THE GRIP
 OF CARRANZA

FL PASO. Jan. 25.- The reports, which have been purely circumstan. tial, that Villa has been captured, lacks all confirmation. Late this af- ternoon 1t was reported here that the Mexican chief had been taken by Car ranza forces at a ranch near Chihau- hau. This was the same place 1t was rumored several days ago Villa had been captured. A dispatch was re- ceived from Chihauhau this afternoon from General Luis Herrera, who, as he did a week ago, again denies that Villa has been taken, and he in fact says Villas present whereabouts are unknown to him. Gen. Herrera is in supreme command at Chihauhau and his statement is taken as authentic.

 Regarding the PSogressives coming back in the c. O. P. fold Mir. Hilles simply shrugged his shoulders. Then. he turned square on the newspaper men and qaid: You can say that the field for the approaching race be- tween candidates for the various par ties Is open. If the Progressives do not get nasty about anything, they are welcomed to return. If they get nasty. the Progresslves will find that the Republican party is today strong CT than 1t was when the great unne cessary split occurred"
 Mir. Hilles indicated that the Demo crats were certainly to be reckoned with. He even went further and stated that President Wilson would be Q mighty hard man to beat by any combination.
