Girl Saves Father by Pulling Hair.

tiny fists when fire broke out, finally
got him up by pulling his hair.

Admiral Stirling informed us on
January 4 that another rape on white
woman had been committed, that the
Islands were atouseo. and that, although
a conference had been held by the
governor to establish corrective meas
ures, little had been done. Admiral
Stirling advised us that unless sweep
ing changes were inaugurated at once
by the civil authorities the feet should
not come to Honolulu He also in-
formed us that the islands were de-
sirous of entertaining the feet during
its proposed stay. On January 6
advised Admiral Stirling that until the
situation was cleaned up, Of which the
Ala Moana case was but one incident,
the entire feet schedule would be
changed, not only for the present but
also In the future, as no gain in busi-
ness to Honolulu could Offset the grave
dangers existing in Honolulu unless the
situation were drastically remedjed.

Foreign garrison commanders
are considering suggesting the

The port now is suggestive of
the World War days, lacking
only the camouflaged sides of

In addition to regularly flying
the flags of their own countries,
foreign ship masters have painted
great flags on the sides of their
ships to make sure their identity

Just before noon a japanese
two-seater bomber was brought
down 1000 yards northwest of
the American lines. The plane
was engaged in bombing a
Chinese artillery position on the
misunderstanding railroad, in full

both belligerents made conflicting
claims of victory.
China appeared today to have
brought fighting airplanes into
play, but the extent of air force
activity was cloaked in mystery.
Mayor WI Te-Chen, Of Shang-
hal, officially denied that Chinese
airplanes were participating in
the battle, but reports that eight
Chinese planes had arrived at
Hunjau airport just outside OF
Shanghai persisted.

Chinese Celebrate
This setback for the Japanese
caused the Chinese to stage a
riotous celebration, enormously
accrediting the victory to some
unnamed and entirely mythical
Chinese "2i:hthofen," and was
chiefly responsible for wide

were offering concerted aerial

FreehOlders To
Be On Ballot

Names of Is selected freeholders
from every part of Imperial county
will be printed on ballots for
July freeholder5 election to choose
a group of men to draw up a pro-
posed county charter.
This was assured yesterday after
noon as Edward H Law, county
clerk, and Clarence Hinderks, his
chief deputy, completed the task
of checking signatures on petitions
which had been filed Thursday af-
ternoon. The petitions bore a total
of 862 signatures, of which 510 were
found to meet all requirements.
Since 496 signatures are required,
the number which passed inspec-
ton was more than sufficient.
Following the check of sigma
lures, a conference between the
district attorney and county clerk
resulted in a decision by Law that
he will declare the time closed for
receiving petitions. Sample ballots
were ordered tooay. and plans for
the election were going ahead.
