GOO KIM'S STATEMENT.
Who Imported the Chinese for Lihue
Plantation.

Lawyer \. G. NJ. Robertson was not
engaged by Messrs. Hackfeld and Co..
to look into matters at the Lihue plan
tation. The matter has been taken
up by the Chinese Commissioner, Mr..
Goo Kim. and his able assistant, Mr..
Wong Quai Mr.. Robertson therefore
represents the Chinese Government in
the matter. Mr.. Goo Kim further
states that the report that the laborers
at Lihue are the off-scourings of Hong
kong is not correct. They were inn
ported by the Lau Chong Company
and are claimed to be as good as any
others brought into this country. The
report from Lihue, which will be due
tomorrow, will throw good deal more
light upon the matter than is at hand
at present The affair at Lihue is a
serious one and demands careful in
vestigation from all sides, Chinese and
foreign.

THREE NEW CASES DEVELOPED
AT QUARANTINE STATION.
Patients All Among the Rejected I'm
migrants-President Dole to Deal
with the Kinai Maru.

Two new cases of smallpox devcl-
oped at the Quarantine station yester-
day afternoon and a third this morn
ing, making six in all since the Jap
anese immigrants from the Kinal
Maru were landed there, week ago
All of the japanese in the hospital arc
from those who were refused landing.
The Board of Health, while realizing
the seriousness of the situation. is not
particularly alarmed over the develop
ment of new cases. Where 81 many
immigrants have been crowded togeth-
er for month. it is not strange JhGt
there are so many eases; the wonder
is that there are not more.
Health Officer Reynolds, when seen
at noon. stated that there was 10 ear
of the disease spreading to the 'horc.
Very little communication was had
with the shore prior to the discovery
of the contagion, and every avenue by
which it might get out has been closed
up. The six patients under treatment
are getting on nicely. None of the
cases are severe, as the japanese were
all well vaccinated before leaving
Kobe. Prior to this time there has
been some complaint that the vaccina-
tion at Kobe was a mere sham, but
this lot of japanese were an eXcep-
ton, as is shown by the mild form in
which the disease has presented it.
self.
Superintendent McVeigh stated this
morning that everything at the sta
ton is in the best of order. The af-
fiicted Japanese are completely iso-
lated from their fellows, so that they
cannot possibly spread the contagion.
The others are inspected three times a
day with greatest care, so that the
slightest symptom of an approaching
attack may be noted at once. Every
thing is kept perfectly clean, and dis
infectants are used continually.
The infected steamer has been thor
oughly fumigated and cleansed, and
now lies at anchor in the stream
awaiting her return passengers. Peo-
pie ashore are anxious to see her de-
part, but there is no telling when she
will get away. The matter rests en-
tirely with the Minister of Foreign At
fairs. The vessel has not yet applied
to the custom house for her clearance
papers.
Minister Cooper, when interviewed
over the telephone, said that he had
handed in his report to President Dole
two days ago, and washed his hands
of the whole matter. The disposal OF
the steamship, then, seems to rest en-
tirely with the President. AS he sent
word to the Board of Health yesterday
that no action was to be taken unit
he had further communicated will
them, interesting developments in tn,
case are expected.

H|LO'S BUILDING BOOM
INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITH
DIR. II. II. WILLIAMS.
Hawaii's Metropolis as the Hub of the
Universe-Splendid Outlook for Cof-
fee on the Big Island.

DR.. Il. r. Williams, port physician
of Hilo, and one of the most popular
men on the island, is at the Arling-
ton. He came down on the Kinau yes
terday to look after some private bus
mess, and, incidentally, to quietly in
vestigate quarantine matters and the
smallpox scare. After the rather eN-
citing episode during the cholera scare
a few years ago. DR.. Williams deems it
best to keep the Hilo public informed
as to the progress of things here. He
has every confidence in the ability Of
| the quarantine officers here to prevent
the spread of contagious diseases.
Dr. Williams is a firm believer in
! of the universe, and that, sooner or
later. its greatness will make itself
! felt, ever in Honolulu. He is an enthu-
siastic coffee planter, too. This year
he will harvest his first crop from
fourteen acres of three-year-old trees,
and has put in fifty acres of young
trees.
''We are having a wonderful building
boom in Hilo,' said DR.. Williams last
night. "Of course you have heard of
the new hotel and IIackfeld's building.
Now Spreckels is talking of erecting
a number of new stores on the block
adjoining his new building there.
They are all to be handsome, two
story buildings, / believe, filling the
whole block. On the next street above
a number of old shanties have been
torn down. and the excavations have
already been made for some substau-
tial buildings. Many other new build
ngs have been talked of and will he
built sooner or later. There is no use
talking. IIlo is bound TO grow and 10
velop rapidly.
The outlook for coffee VAS never
better | have been careful student
of the coffee business for three years,
and am satisfied that it will rank with
the sugar industry, almost in another
decade. One of the best features of it
is that it requires capital at the out
set, as that means that only thrifty
and industrious persons will invest.
OF course the question of securing the
necessary number of pickerS at har-
vest time is bit dubious just now,
but | think by the time the area of
bearing coffee plantations is increased
we shall be able to secure the labo:.'
DR.. Williams is very anxious to meet
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald and 10
discuss labor matters with. him. He
expects to return to Hilo in time 10
entertain the commissioner there and
to give him some facts and figures
from his own store of information on
the labor question here, from the
standpoint of medical man who has
= studied the climatic conditions scien-
tifcally.

Caught Stealing Flowers.

There has been general complaint
among the growers of flowers in this

been stolen by the wholesale. Arhe work
seemed to have been done at night and
there seemed to be no way in which to
apprehend the plferers. Sunday morn
ing. when Mr.. c. A Hendrickson of
College avenue arose and went out to
visit his flower garden, and they have
fine one there, he found that the
roses and sweet peas had been taken
during the night. They were all gone
and the bushes terribly mutiated. Mr..
Hendrckson is a quiet kind of a man
ordinarily but this clean case of rob
berry made him mad all through Dur
ing the day he learned from a neigh
Dor, who had left his house at 4 o'clock
that morning that two young women
were at the bushes helping themselves.
The neighbor gave the names of the
young women and Mr.. Hendrickson
has sent word to them that he awaits a

There Will Be a Concert.

The Journal has it on the best au-
thority in the world that there is to be
band concert on Monument park, this
evening, at the usual hour. Prof Hall
says that this time it is sure go. and
he suggests that the band stand be
moved to the center Of the park. that
more of the people in the vicinity may
be able to hear the music to better adj
vantage and incidentally to know that
the band did really play. There seems
to be a popular demand for the re-
moval of the band stand to a point in
the park where the music may be plain
ly heard by those who are unable, from
one cause or another. to be present AS
it is now the high walls of the institute
and the church break the sound and
the music cannot be heard at a very
great distance. 1t would not cost any
more to set the band stand just west
of the monument and that would fill
the bill.
