VENGEANCE OF GODS
WREAKED VIOLATORS
HONOLULU, April 15—The gods
! of ancient Hawaii again wreaked their
vengeance upon the whites who made
merry upon the site of a formtr he^au,
or o'ul-tirne temple of worship, accord
ing to Hawaiian superstition, when
the famous clubhouse of the Order of
Elks on the beach at Waikiki was
damaged by fire to the extent of $65,
000.
' The flames, caused by defective wir
i ing, were the last of a series of un
told events, including murder, that oc
curred at the site of the heiau, which
nestles at the foot of Diamond Head.
According to Hawaiian medicine men.
i only evil will come to those who dese
crate the site of the ancient heiau.
The clubhouse was built many years
ago by the late James B. Castle, a de
cendant of the missionaries who came
from New England to the islands in
1820, as a residence for his family.
During the occupancy of the Castle
fami1y two Japanese were murdered
in the grounds and attention was call
ed at the time to the tradition of the
heiau.

| with them.
The only two living survivors of the
[battle are Andy Johnson of Dodge
