In fatal cases are noticed blueness

DIR. Herbert, G.. w. Smith and J.
McCandless, as Committee of in
vestigation recommended that all
deaths from cholera be buried
twenty miles at sea, instead of
az Makiki.
President Smith mentioned loca-
tons near Diamond Head and
Maunalua hill. This did not meet
with approval. Cremation was
suggested, but that was horrifying
to the Hawaiians.
Those who had charge of the
burial Of bodies reported that the
ground back of Punchbowl was
very hard to dig, it taking some
time before one hole was finished.
Mr.. McCandless was in fear that
the burial OF cholera bodies at Ma
kiki would contaminate TIE Makiki
water system, as the burial place
was only fifty feet from the place
where Makiki water is supplied.
Minister Damon suggested that
trains be utilized TO take bodies to
Moanalua, and at some distance
from the track they can be buried.
He did not favor burial at sea.
Geo. Carter asked if the first body
could not be exhumed and the
safety of burying as proposed
known.
The first body had been buried
on August 70. President favored
the exhuming Of the bodies.
DR.. Herbert said there would
be cause Tor being very careful. If
one germ was to escape the result
would be disastrous.
Andrew Brown was in favor OF
cremation.
President Dole did not like the
idea Of burying at sea. 1t would
be the means OF causing natives to
hide their sick people.
1t was finally decided that a
cholera burial ground b. staked
out at a suitable location nf-Moana.
lua, away from the track, aid Min
lister Damon, c.. w. Smith and J.
A. McCandless were nominated 10
to go down and select a plot.
President Smith announced that
the Citizens Guard had volunteered
their services to the Board for house
to house inspection.
Makiki recervoir had been quar-
antined.
President Smith said tie valleys
should be quarantined and mem
beers of the Citizens Guard be put
on duty.
II. Davis favored people who un-
derstood Hawaiian standing guard
in the valleys.
Minister Damon desired that
Moanalua be quarantined also. He
could furnish residents there with
provisions.
The motion that persons who
travel from one district to another
for a necessity only, carried.
President Smith said he had
received a protest from saloon
keepers relative to the closing OF
saloons at 6 o'clock. They were
paying a very high license. Crowds
only collected at saloons on Satur-
day evenings. The saloon keepers
felt that they could attend to this
to the satisfaction Of the Board.
Mention was made of the drinks
sold at fountains. They are liable
to work more injury than liquors.
The President said the tabu was
put on on account Of the crowded
condition Of the saloons on two
nights last week.
A communication from Bishop
Willis, protesting against police
interference at meeting in St.
Andrews Cathedral on "Wednesday
evening was read. Mr.. Willis also
objected to the word crowds, u
being used in the regulation against
church assemblies.
President Smith said the Catholic
Cathedral had asked permission tC
leave its doors open. The BoarC
had refused.
Bishop Willis thought closing o
churches would tend to demoraliz
alton.
President Smith said there wa
,, no desire to stop worship. Fam
I : lilies could gather in their home
,, and have services, or ministers cal
: visit the homes OF members Of thei
churches. The Hawaiians must b
looked after in spite Of themselves
l.. A. Thurston moved that tn
action of the Board in regard /
saloons and churches be approved
Carried.
