stroyed by fire. large amount of
grain also being consumed.
The wind was blowing from the

could be, done to check the fire.
It appears the fire started in the
driveway near the scale and it started
for the main elevator, driving the
flames up into the cunola and from
there worked downward. and being
tanned by the severe wind. the flames
whirled upwards.
AT tho time of the fire the elevator
contained about 5000 bushels Of
wheat. and most Of it was cleaned for
seed wheat: 1850 bushelssof flax; 900
bushels Of rye and $50 bushels of bar

 The police think that Nollrath is

 According to the statements of the steel plant officials, Vollrath is sup posed to have used some mysterious form of acid to doctor the steel manu- factured into ship plates so that it would not meet the government re- quirements. The arrested man has

HONOLULU, Nov. 12-Former Queen Lliuokalani died here yesterday after a long illness.
 WDth the death of Queen Liliuokalani has passed the last vestige of royah y in the Hawaiian Islands. The eighth and last monarch to hold sway over the entire insular group, she reigned for only two years and that brief flicker of sovereignty was extinGuish- cd more than twenty years ago in q revolution which led to the annexation of the islands to the United States. But notwithstanding her effacement from public affairs. Queen Liliuoka- lani never abandoned her regal pose nor lost the affection of her former subjects, and continued to her death q , most interesting personality.
 She was born September g. 1888 in Honolulu. Her name was Lydia Kam- akaeha. In her memoirs, "Hawaii's History by Hawaii's Queen" she traced her ancestry back to the foun-
