RADIO RAGE
IN HONOLULU
GOING STRONG

Honolulu, T. H., June 27.-All
Hawaii has gone radio crazy"
The craze for radiophones which
is sweeping the mainland of the
United States has now cached the
islands, 1000 miles out in the Pa
cific. Companies handling the new
apparatus report that they are I'M
able to satisfy the demand for out
fits. or even to keep within %reasona-
BILE distance of their orders, which
are now piled so high hat at least
six months will be required to fill
all of them without allowing for
new orders which will come in
meanwhile.
In Honolulu and Hiio, the two
leading cities of the Territory, "a
dio clubs have been organized, with
large memberships. Smaller clubs
or branches of the two main organi-
cations are being formed in every
town and village. Talks and lectures
by expert operators feature the
weekly meetings of these clubs,
which are largely attended and most
enthusiastic.
In the daily papers of the various
island cities columns of space are
devoted to radio instructions and
news of the latest innovations, as
wcll as to answering questions
asked by amateur operators.
A remarkable feature of the craze
as it affects Hawaii is the fact that
it has hit net alone the white races
but the Hawaiians and Orientals as
well, many of the most enthusiastic
operators of radiophones being of
the last-named races. What the re-
suit may be on future aerial con
versation is difficult to determine,
as the languages involved are num-
erous and divergent.

lin, storekeeper at Huffman, Is
miles northeast of here, in Missis-
sippi county, early yesterday morn
ing killed one burglar and serious
ly wounded another while the pair
were attempting to rob his store.
The robbers had effected entrance
by boring through and removing
the night latch.
a passing negro observed the open
door a short time before daybreak
and notified Mr.. Loflin, who lives
a short distance away. The pro-
p:ietor, accompanied by his son,
jim, and a neighbor, secured guns
and hurried to the scene of the
robbery. Upon arrival at the store,
Mr.. Loflin and his companions saw
4 confederate of the robber, who
was acting as lookout. AS soon as
the confederate saw the little posse,
he opened fire, and they promptly
returned the fusillade. The robber
inside the store rushed out, pistol
in hand, shooting as he ame Mr..
Loflin's party turned its attention
the new assailant and delivered
a charge of buckshot into his left
breast. Running up the road a short
distance, the burglar fell dead.

During the fight the confederate.
although wounded, managed to es-
cape.
The dead burglar is a young
white man, perhaps 80 years old ana
was rather poorly dressed. No marks
or papers of Identification were
fond on ais person, and no one was
able to identify him. He was
armed with a 1920 automatic pistol
and had about SIS in his pockets.
Not a scrap of paper, however, could
be found by which he might be
identified. His body was brought
to a local undertaking parlor and
prepared for burial. Hundreds view
ed the body yesterday, but none
knew the man. The undertaken will
keep it for a few days so that iden-
LITIGATION may be made if possible.
A gold front tooth and a mass of
black oily hair with dark complexion
and oily yellow skin are the only
distinguishing features.

Khan Offers a Reward.
The Jonesboro Tribune, in its
edition of Thursday, publishes a
statement %purporting to have come
from the Khan in which a reward
of $4,000 was offered for the ap-
prehension of the persons guilty of
mailing the alleged notes of warn
ing. Here's the item that appears
in The Tribune:
Many rumors have been afloat
the past few days about letters and
notes of warning that are supposed
to have been sent to local people. In
one or two instances the rumors have
been traced and found to be without
foundation. Yesterday, however, two
boys, who work in a local institution
stated that they had received letters
of warning from some one who sign
ed the letters X. *. X. These let
ters are said to have come through
the United States mail, which is a
o~ffense, and they have been turned
over to p~ostoffice authorities to in
vestigate.
THE Ku Klux Khan in a state
ment received by special delivery
letter at the Tribune office, and
which is published below, %denounces
the act and offers a reward of two
hundred dollars for conviction of the
guilty party or parties. Every indi-
cation points to the fact that it was
the act of some boy who did it as
a joke, or some enemy of the khan
organization with the hope of dis
crediting the khan. The statement
of the khan follows:
"Jonesboro, Ark, June 20, 1922.
