-Four Houses Burned Yesterday.

A rather serious fire on the
east side Of the southern
Railways main line on Chest
nut Hill yesterday morning
completely destroyed four
cottages and barn. The fire
originated in the residence
occupied by a Mr. Keith and
owing to a high wind spread
quickly to the adjoining
houses on each side, one of
which was occupied by Mrs
John Trexler and the other
by Mrs Morris. The flames
then crossed a narrow street
and consumed a cottage oc-
cupi0d by Charlie Hartman
and also Destroyed a barn
near by All were burned
to the ground. The occu>
pants saved a part of their
household goods Other
nearby homes we're endanger-
ed by sparks famed along
and at great distance by the
high winds
The nearest hydrant was
on South Main street about
two blocks or more from the
scene of the fire. The loca>
ton of the fire was at a point
between the Yadkin railway
just where it leaves the main
line roadbed and the Good
man Lumber Company's plant
and first reports coming to
the city were that it was the
lumber plant burning aud a
great crowd hocked to the
scene. The barn destroyed
belonged to Mr. Link.

A negro woman was hailed

A negro woman was hailed
into court the other day and
taxed with the costs for per
uniting a little poodle dog to
run at large without a muz~
zle On. This is nothing short
Of the rankest injustice and
a specimen of littleness Of
which an enlightened people
ought to be ashamed. There
are hundreds of unmuzzled
dogs to be seen on cur streets
every day, large, vicious
dogs, belonging to people
who know the law and are
perfectly able to purchase
muzzles and. if the law is TO
be enforced, all should be
treated alike, or it should be
repealed. This thing of
dragging some Negro into
court and taxing her with
costs while the more able and
"diliberate guilty" are allow.
ed to go free is a blot on our
civilization We think very
lettle of an officer who will
shoT such unjust partiality.

 On our return to Honolulu we were not allowed to land, as the yellow flag was hoisted on our transoort, smallpox having broken cut on board, resulting in one death and burial at sea. From Honolulu we went to Astoria, Ore gon, and were quarantined aboard ship for ten days, all men, women and children being Taccinated. From there our transport sailed for Portland where the troops disem- parked for Vancouver barracks.

AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
HITTING WOMAN CLERKS
Board of Federal Employees Union
Takes Action on Question-For
Retirement System.

Disapproval of discrimination against
women in the government service in the
matter of appointment or promotion was
given last night by the board of repre-
sentatives of the Federal Employees
Union. at a meeting held in the Per-
petual Building Hall, 18th and E streets
northwest. The action was taken on
the report of the resolutions committee
recommending the adoption of resolu-
ton introduced at the last meeting by
Miss Florence Smith. 1t recited that
women should have equal pay for equal
work, and provided for the sending OF
copies of the resolution to the Presi-
dent. to the heads of departments and
the country and to labor organizations
in all parts of the country.
The board also adopted the report of
the retirement committee previously
outlined in The Star. The report was
presented by John S. Beach. chairman
of the committee, and it contained
draft of proposed bill for a contribu-
tory system. The bill will be introduced
in Congress. and the committee was
authorized to press for the passage of
the measure but was instructed to push
any other pension measure provided
they saw no chance of their own meas
ure getting through.
Some objection was made to the meas
ure because it is of the contributory
form. \ motion of S. D. Atkinson of
the post Office to strike out the pro-
vision in the proposed measure fixing
$500 as a maximum annuity and substi
tuting that amount as the minimum
was lost.
President H. NJ. McLarin of the union
told the board that matters looked
bright at the Capitol for an increase
in salary for the government clerks.
He expressed the belief that the and
10 per cent increases as originally con-
tanned in the legislative bill would be-
come law.
