BLAZE IN H|LO
lncendiarism Shown In Case Of
Attempt To Destroy Church
Building 81

According to the Hawaii Herald il
is now thought beyond all shadow Of
doubt that the Social Hall of the First
Foreign Church was deliberately set on
fire by some INSCRIPTIONS person. Thai
a rat started the blaze was the theory
first advanced, but Fire Chief Todd
who has made a thorough investigation
does not hold that view. In the course
of his search Todd looked under the
dashboard that runs along the floor of
the porticO and around the bottom of
the walls. The corner part of this had
been destroyed by fire, but the flames
had been extinguished before they had
reached very far. along the Dashboard.
It was here that the chief secured EVIL
dence to convince him that the build
ing had been deliberately set ON FIRE!
The boards in the vicinity smelt strong.
" of kerosene, and showed that they
must have been drenched with the oil
Deputy Sheriff Henry Martin who
was disinclined at first TO believe thai
the fire was the work of an incendiary
is now convinced that it was ease
of arson. This theory IN now being
acted on by the deputy sheriff and II
is believed he already has clue e
the whereabouts of the criminal.
Had it not been for the prompt ac
ton of the fire chief with his chemica
engine the church which adjoins thu
social hall would have been burned TO
certain, because the two buildings ar,
almost touching. Et.sE.

stantial changes have been made in
the draft of the Colombian Treaty, to
be submitted to the senate again for
ratification in the special session TO
convene next month. The terms as
outlined in the altered draft are much
more favorable to the United States
than those in the previous treaty, which
the Republicans in the senate demurred
over accepting. ....5
Under the revision, which has been
accepted, it is stated, by the Colon.

to receive for the twenty-five million
dollars to be given to Colombia, two
islands off the Panama coast, the isl

In addition, the United States is 10
be given the canal rights over tht

The state department is understood
TO have sought these concessions from
Colombia for the purpose Of satisfying
the Republican senators, who have
strenuously objected to the previous
treaties as being a submission to inter
national blackmail. The Republican,
have denied that President Roosevelt
acted illegally in the matter of the rec
ignition Of the Panama revolution, a
a result of which the United States Sc
cured from the new republic the Pan

w Plans for aggressive war
fare to be waged upon Germany,
to be launched as soon as congress
has formally declared the war that
already exists, are being rushed
by the administration. Yesterday
the President and his cabinet
members were in conference the
greater part of the time, the bur
reau chiefs submitting the Presi-
dent the various plans evolved as
soon as they have been put into
shape. *, ,.h&.
Everything is to be in readi-
ness for the desired congressional
approval as soon as the new con-
gress is organized and ready for
the grave business to be taken up.
A general military budget is being
planned, including many items
of expenditure that are regarded
as imperative.
NO DELAYS EXPECTED
The failure of the last congress
to pass the Army Appropriation
Bill is not proving any great
handicap on the present prepared
ness program. Contracts for
quartermaster supplies have been
placed already up to the limit Of
the money available, while con-
tilung contracts, based ontie ar-
preparations expected from con-
[gress arc Being all arranged for. so
that n,.tine need be lost once the
money is voted and becomes
available.
The country is in better posi-
ton today to secure adequate sup
plies for great army than at any
time in its history, thanks to the
munition plants and supply man
ufacturies erected to care for the
huge contracts placed in this
country by the Entente govern
ments. A supply Of rifles, small
arms ammunition and shell can b,
secured with small delay, reports
