Certificates Of Death TO Order at short
Notice.

Certificates of Death to Order at short
Notice.
There are some Chinese doctors
Of good reputation in Honolulu.
Others there are who hold licenses
that were given them twelve years
ago simply to enable them to sign
permits for buying opium. An in
cident has just come to light which
may lead to the holding of a
house cleaning day by the Board
of Health among the household of
Chinese physicians.
An application was made at the
Board of Health on Saturday for
burial certificate for "a. P. Moe
hopua," Hawaiian male aged AZ,
alleged to have died of consump-
ton at Auwaiolimu. Mr.. Reynolds
told the applicant that certificate
of death from the attending physi-
clan, if there was one, should &C
company the application. In an.
swer to question the applicant
gave name of DIR. Miner as that of
the attending physician, and Mr..
Reynolds told him to get certif-
cate of death from DIR. Miner. As
he could not get back to the
Health office before the closing
hour, he was told he could get the
burial certificate at Mr.. Reynolds
house.
When he came to the house the
physicians certificate he brought
was Of the death of "Kaulumu"
aged 40, and signed by DR.. Leong
Pung Tong. 1t was for the same
dead man, however, the applicant
explaining that he had to change
the name to get the certificate.
There has been no physician in
attendance, the truth is, but the
Chinese doctor was accommodate
ing.
1t is probable that proceedings
will be taken against the physi-
clan for issuing a fraudulent certi-
ficste OF death.

HELPS THE TRUST
Glucose Combine Given a Practical
MonOpolv

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The glucose trust
will be strengthened by the opinion of
Judges Jenkins and Showalter in the
United States circuit court of appeals to-
day sustaining its patents. The effect
of the decision, If accepted in other dis
tricts, will give the glucose trust mon
opoly of the manufacture of glucose
syrups. At least, the decision being a
law In the circuit composed of the states
of Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, will
drive out much competition. Heavy
damages are alleged in the bill fled and
upon which the patent Is now sustained,
$1,000,000 being the amount asked for.
The suit was brought by the Chicago
Sugar Refining company, against the
Charles Pope Glucose company. The
decision of the court of appeals is a re-
versal of the decision of Judge Grosscup
a year ago. Judge Grosscup held that
there was no novelty in the patent. It
was simply the adaptation of an old pro-
cess to new purposes, and as such is not
patentable. For this reason, Judge
Grosscup refused to grant a perpetual
injunction in the case. Judges Jenkins
and Showalter now hold that there was
an infringement of the process patent as
they believe the one used prior to that
time was entirely different from the one
used by the complainants. The process
covered by the decision Is said to be the
only one by which glucose can be ex-
tracted from corn.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-When the
cable as to the prospective quarantine OF
American horses was shown to Chalr-
man Hit of the house foreign afa1rs
committee he said this move was clearly
q mart of the general movement toward
exclusion shown by the recent action
against American fruit. His colleague
on the foreign affairs committee, Mr..
Adams of Pennsylvania, SAID the dis
patch suggested that it was time 10 ois-

would he desirable also to determine as
70 the sanitary character of the process
of making German sugar sent TO the
United States.
Mr.. Cousins Of Iowa, another member
of the foreign affairs committee, SAID:
"Our state department should give dis
tinct notice that if there is any desire to
stop trade with us this should be done
in a straightforward way, and not by
indirectly attacking our products on
sanitary grounds"
Chairman Dingley of the ways and
means committee said this was IN line
| with the German action on American
fruit. Quarantine was not an absolute

| he seen whether a quarantine so Vlgor-
ous as to be a prohibition would be put IN
force.
The officials of the agricultural depart
ment emphatically discredit the proba-
hility of American horses carrying the
influenza into Germany, and say that II
thew do develop 1t after importation, IT is
contracted from animals in that country.
The statements of the German minister
of agriculture Secretary Wilson says,

FRUIT EXCLUSION
Official Agricultural Reports Furnish
the Desired Excuse

RERLIN, Feb. 4.-The Refchszanzei-
ger this afternoon published the follow
ing:
The American agricultural depart
ment's report on the San Jose shleld
louise led to an official inquiry here as to
the circumstances under which Amerl-
can fruits are imported. Professor
Frank. on January 29th, found on Cali
fornia pears arriving at Hamburg, num-
erous living. breeding shield lice, alb
solutely identical with the San Jose
shield louise. He consequently eX-
pressed the opinion that the home fruit
cultivation was exposed to grave ma
terial danger thereby. A conference or
the specialists and the report of the i'm
neriaI office of health confirmed this view
in every particular. Thus the neces-
sity for prompt measures for protection
was fully demonstrated.
The reichzanzeiger then describes the
extraordinary harmfulness of the San
Jose louse according to publications of
the Washington agricultural DEPART
ment, and the measures taken In
America, notably oregon and British
Columbia, and continues:
"It Is thus the unavoidable duty of the
government to give efficacious protec-
ton to the home fruit industry from the
danger of disease here"
The Reichszanzeiger then gives the
regulations adopted, and concludes with
pointing out phylloxera as an example
of the danger of not adopting immediate
protective measures, while the Colorado
bug. 1T is added, has been kept out by
timely precautions.

IN THE HOUSE
Private Pension Bills Slow to Receive
Attention

ACCenClOn
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-This was
private bill day in the house, but on ac-
count Of systematic filibustering the pri-
vate calendar containing the bills re-
ported by the committee on claims was
not reached, the whole day being con-
sumed in passing eighteen of the twenty
four private pension bills favorably
acted upon by the house at the session
last Friday night. During the consid-
Grafton of one Of the bills an interesting
discussion of the approaching sale of
the Kansas Pacific, set for February
18th, was precipitated by Mr.. Fleming
of Georgia, Democrat, who. with his
Democratic colleagues desired legisla-
ton to require the. president to bid the
full amount, debt, principal and interest.
Mr.. Powers, chairman of the Pacific
railroad commission, contended that
the real purpose of the opposition was
to compel the government to take the
road and operate it. He said he thought
the administrat tion, which had secured
every dollar owing from the Union Pa
cific could be safely trusted to protect
the governments interest at the sale of
the Kansas Pacific.
A bill was passed today to amend
the act of January 81. 1895, granting
rights of way through the public domain
for tramways. canals and reservoirs, so
as to grant those rights for cities and
private corporations, At present the
rights of way are given only for mining
and irrigation purposes
Mr.. Fleming (Dem.) Of Georgia asked
unanimous consent to set aside nex-

mission, to grant additional powers tc

of the Kansas Pacific road. The sale

1t cannot be abridged by the action of

tempt by certain members of that body
to abridge it is the assertion of right

islature. 1 am a Senator from Ken

"In questions local to Kentucky I am

to be acted upon, they are to be consid-
cred from the standpoint of the broad
est patriotism, and this I propose to
do, no matter who may condemn my
action or who may approve it. There
are occasions when considerations of
local favor and party discipline must
for the time give way, and if a Senator
who acts upon that principle is to be
driven from his place by his State Leg
islature whenever he may contravene
local sentiment or temporary passion
the dignity of the Senate will soon be
thing of the past.

Of powers between the State and Federal

that l shall surrender my commission,

Barber Wins.

At Davenport Police Magistrate
Hubbell Wednesday discharged from
custody Sebastian Hurd, the Kimball
house barber who refused to take an
examination for license under the
new city ordinance. The police mag
istrate decided that the law couldn' t
touch him if, after being in the busi-
ness there for % years, he declined to
take an examination to test his COM
potency to continue his work in the
future. On Mr.. Hurd's behalf his
counsel, Charles +. Cooper, argued
that the ordinance was an abridgment
of his constitutional rights, and that
it was an illegal exercise of a power
which the city did not derive under
the state laws. He made point of
the fact that the ordinance gives a
barber no right to appeal, but leaves
the final decision as to whether or not
he may ply his trade in the city with
the board of examiners which the
council appoints.
