DOPOLITICSBUT
NOT ON SALARY
Public Utilities Commission
Sends Cablegram Speeding
After Attorney

Senator James L. Coke. attorney for
the public utilities commission, may
go to St. Louis to the Democratic
national convention, but If he is active
there he will have to forego his salary
as the commissions counsel.
Coke left few days ago. The after.
noon before he left the commission
had a hurry-up meeting and gave him
leave of absence for two months at
1926 monthly-full salary.
While it was stated that he intended
to do some work in the commissions
interest in Washington, some of the
political observers knew that Coke
was likely TO visit st. Louis and do
some work there on behalf OF Gov
ernor Pinkham, to block the fight that
the McCandless faction is surely go
ing to put up on the governor.
Chairman Forbes of the commission
got to thinking the matter over and
decided that the idea of paying Jim
Coke while he was doing politics was
not right ~..s. IL.
So Forbes prepared the following
cablegram to Attorney Coke and after
getting the other commissioners to
ratify the action, he sent it speeding
after the travelling attorney:
"If you appear at ST. Louis as an
attorney for any political interest, IL
will be necessary for the Public Utili-
ties Commission to discontinue pay.
ment Of your salary for the period OF
your absence beginning June T."

EVERYBODY WITH
A CAR TRIED TO
Reach BIGFLOW
A. C. Wheeler Tells of Pilgrim
age of Visitors to Mauna
Loa Lava Streams

A. C. Wheeler of the public works
department, now stationed on Hawaii.
sent to Superintendent Forbes today a
letter with some interesting notes of
the big lava flows. He whites: -
las | approached the site of the
flow, the illumination became brighter,
bigger and more faring. 1t resembled
more the reflection of burning for
est or prairie, and in fact was flowing
through a forest and burning the
trees and brush as it proceeded. There
were a great many machines on the
read, and all headed in the same d.
rection and most of them travelling at
high rate of speed. ! opened my cut
out so as to be heard and took my
time One Ford car passed me whose
lights were so bad that the driver had
to race his engine to see the road. He
would speed up for a hundred feet,
throw out his clutch, race the motor
and then travel another hundred feet.
There. was a bad jam Of machines
at Kappa, and in fact all along the
road. Some cars had engine trouble
and there were plenty of punctures
and bloWouts. Gasoline and water and
oil could hardly be obtained at any
price. felt that should the flow accel-
crate a great many cars would
be caught in the wi I'd scramble to get
out, and that it would be better to
either push on risking the danger of
being caught between the two flows
or else turn back from the jam at Ka-
pua. ....":. 80
THE illumination was brilliant and
there was no telling just how soon
the lava could be expected. Estimates
were made all the way from one to
six hours. H.. r
81 finally decided to push on hav-
ing heard that the other two branches
of the flow were exhausted. / left and
had hardly gone five miles when l
noticed that all of the flow there was
lay behind me and that the road to
Hilo was clear. 49,. ....= ...>. ~.
1T was now about 1870 Tuesday
morning May %, and stopped and
watched what could see of the flow
for some time. All the way to Ka-
huku gate the columns of fire and
smoke from the burning forest could
be plainly seen. arrived at Waio-
hinu at 2:30 a. m. and at the Crater
Hotel at 5 a. m, having travelled 159
miles throughout. =:.....
"The Kona jam of automobiles was
bad enough and the crowd from Hilo
was no better. l saw cars with Ian
terms for lights, cars travelling on fiat
tires, cars turned over, cars off the
road and cars in collisions, Police
men were on duty everywhere and
gasoline and oil were at premium,
and in fact could very rarely be OBJ

SLOT MACHINE
HELD DEVICE
FORGAMBLING
Court Determines Hope o.
Extra Reward is Incentive
j.. .:..r For Play 49,.

The gum slot machine business
declined this morning when Judge J.
NJ Monsarrat found A. W. Beeson
guilty of conducting a gambling con-
trivance and assessed a S25 fine. The
case was appealed.
Machines will probably not run,
however, so long as the test case is
in the courts Detective Capt Nc
Duffie says every machine will be
turned to the wall The defendant de-
clares he will not attempt TO operate
the gum machines unless given per-
mission by the city and county attor-
ney, pending decision of higher courts
in the matter.
The case was started in Judge Mon
sarrat's court Yesterday with Judge
j. T. De Bolt and Judge A. D. Larnach
appearing for. the defense and County
Attorney A. NJ. Brown and his assist
ant, A. NJ. Cristy, in charge of the
prosecution. :.
Concluding its case this morning the
defense asserted that the whole mat
ter was question of fact, not of law !;
that the machine was simply me-
chanical vendor for the American Gum
Company and that Beeson was the
agent; that there WAS absolutely no
element of chance any more than in
a stamp-selling machine, and finally
the whole purpose was as an adver-
tisement to stimulate trade in stores
which operated one.
Cristy, on the other hand. summed
up the holdings of the prosecution by
saying the machine was not vendor
of gum but of trade checks He de-
monstrated this to the court by show
ing that checks when paid became
accessible automatically but that the
gum must be taken after each play
by the player else it remained in the
machine. .a.. g.. Z.
Comparison with a stamp-selling
machine was not identical, according
to Mr.. Cristy, because one always
knows just what he will receive from
the stamp machine no matter how
long ne may operate it while there
are promises OF higher rewards, says
Cristy, in the gum machine if the

road at Honomalina, and IL is now
tearing its way through forests OF
guaya trees and over rocks that have
stood there for centuries.
The fourth flow has been seen by
many people and they say that the
fact that il is making its way towards
Papa accounts for the stopping of the
Honomalina flow. The new discharge
or lava will probably cover up lot OF
low-lying ground that is located near
Papa.
No Lives Lost.
So far as can be ascertained there
has been no loss of life through the
volcanic outbreak. Cattle may have
perished in some isoIated place, but
there is no telling of what might have
happened if men of nerve had not
gone ahead and cut the wire fences
Of the different ranch paddocks and
allowed the cattle to escape.
Forests Wiped Out.
Koa forests have been wiped out
and vegetation of all kinds has been
destroyed in the track of the lava
That far more damage was not done
is the wonder of everybody. Luther
Aungst, manager of the Kona-Kau
telephone branch, did great work in
getting authentic news of the out
break to Hilo. He patrolled the road
at Honomalina and carried a portable
telephone with him. He climbed the
poles every hour or so and took OBJ.
servations which he relayed to VIII.
liam Mckay of Hilo, who then gave
the news to the Herald. 1t was
Aungst who told of the flow nearing
the government road at Honomalina
and it was he who, later on, reported
the fact that the flow had ceased at
that point. -~ ...
Accidents Are Few.
Although there were at least 200
Hilo automobiles out on the Kau and
Kona road last Monday night there
were only three accidents that
amounted to anything very much. In
the first Mrs. Jarrett Lewis sustained
cut knee and was confined to her
home through the injury and shock
for a couple of days. The accident
happened when the Japanese chauf.
feur, who had had no sleep for about
as hours, dozed off and allowed his
car to charge into a tree on the side
Of the road. ...... 49,.
The second accident happened when
a car in which w. s. Terry, Mrs. Ter
ny, Miss Porter and another person
were riding in also left the road and
plunged into hole seven feet deep.
The car turned over on its side and
the passengers were spilled out. That
nobody was killed is looked upon as a
miracle. The chauffeur had gone to
sleep and the car mad followed its
own sweet will in leaving the beaten
road and piling up in the ditch.
Another accident that happened
during the excitemen: that was Gre
ated during Monday and Tuesday last
through the lava flows, was that in
which Mr.. and MRS. T. TobIer had a
very narrow escape from instant death
when their automobile plunged down
a 50-foot cliff beyond Waiohinu last
Tuesday night. Neither of the occu-
pants of the car received worse than
a few scratches and bruises. Mr.. and
Mrs. Tolber are touring the island in
the interest of a tobacco firm.
