[JACK LONDON'S BUST
CANNOT BE LOCATED
HONOLULU. T. H.f Nov. The
mysterious disappearance of a bust
of the late Jack London is puzzling
Honolulu, and apprehensions are en
tertained that the valuable bit of sta
tuary may be Irretrievably lost.
The bust, fashioned by Frolich,
was the gift of Mrs. London to the
Pan-Paciflc club, the headquarters of
which are in Honolulu. Photographs
of it have been received here, but
the bust has not, although cable
advices were received some time ago
that the bust had been shipped to
I Honolulu.
The bust was to have been unveiled;
last week, and a banquet had been
arranged to celebrate the event. The
banquet was held, and speeches eulo
gizng the dead author, who was a
friend of Hawaii, were made. But the
bust was not unveiled, for the reason
'.hat it could not be fAund.
Several cable and wireless mes
sages to San Francisco have brought
only the Information that the bust
was shipped on a date which should
have brought it here more than a
week ago.

EPISCOPAL RECTORY AT
SEWARD NEARLY COMPLETED
The Episcopal church rectory at
Seward is now half completed and
Rev. Zinn will, cease work with tools
for a couple of weeks.
Seven weeks ago the excavation
was started for the basement of the
rectory. Gradually Rev. Zinn raised
funds and gradually the rectory took
shape until now it is one of the best
looking residences in Seward, all out
side work being finished and doors
and windows being In. The next step
will be the plumbing, then wiring,
latling and plastering and the inside
finishing.
Kev. Zinn, if he keeps up his same
record he has on the building so far,
will have the rectory ready for occu
pancy by spring.
The building was planned by Kev.
Zinn and the Interior arrangements
are those that, while not elaborate,
fulfill all requirements for years to
come. Built-in dressers, sideboards,
etc., clever arrangements of cahinets
of various kinds and the general de
tails are the work of a genius. Kev.
Zinn is to be congratulated on his
showing and should naturally feel
pleased with himself at his undertak
ing.
Bishop Rowe has instructed Kev.
Ziun to move to Seward upon comple
tion of the rectory, which will be next
summer. The new building will cost
14000.
