THE INDEPENDENT is very pleased
10 publish in this issue letter from
the port physician, DIR. Day, ia
which that gentleman endorses our
views in regard to the abandonment
of the present "iee" system aud the
making the position OF port physi-
clan a salaried office. The figures
in regard to the matter as we quot
ed them ara incorrect, according to
the doctors letter, During the
past month the port physician re-
ceived only $3.50 in fees for IL visits
to steamers arriving at this port.
This is at the rate of about S32 per
visit, very good figure indeed, and
one which should cause the LsRis-
lature to appropriate stipulated
salary for the position, and turn
the surplus into the Treasury. We
compliment DR.. Day on the manly
way in which he deals with the
matter, and in which he proves his
public spirit and unse'f.hness

the people Of Hawaii are ahund
antly able to attend to their own
business without any assistance
from us. | disavow and deprecate
the action OF the Uuited S ates Gov
ernment iu the overthrow OF the
duly constituted Government Of
Hawaii, and shall insist that as far
as possible, reparation be done.
Ii the genuine interests OF self
defense Of this nation depended up
on the acquisition OF Hawaii, |
should not hesitate to vote for an
nexation. But feel that under the
circumstances its acquisition, in.
stead Of being an element Of
strength, would be source Of
weakness to us. Our strength lies
in our consciousness Of right and
Justice, and not in armies, navies,
and coast defenses.
Being an advocate of popular gov
ernment, OF course | should depre
cate the restoration OF monarchy in
Hawaii. But even that does not
concern me, as the people in Ha-
waii are the parties in interest, and

ment which will be satisfactory to

CORRESPONDENCE
Endorses Our Views.
ED. The INDEPENDENT

Ed. The INDEPENDENT:-
The position taken by The INDE
PENDENT on most q iestious OF pun
lie policy is so good that it is hardly
necessary to emphasize it by mis-
representation OF facts.
In commenting on the position Of
P rt Physician in this evenings
paper you say, I'VE understand that
he receives no salary but only fee
o. $50 from each steamer that visits
this port. Last month about 10
steamers called here and were board
ed by the doctor who pocketed
$3.50"
BY regulation of the Board OF
Health the Port Physician is en-
titled to a fee OF 1926 from all steam
ers excepting those from Asiatic
ports having on board 100 or more
emigrauts, in which case he is en-
titled to $50.
AS matter OF fact IL steamers
entered this port from foreign ports
last month, only three of them com
ing under the $50 sch. dule. so that
the income of the Port Physician
for the month was $3.50 instead Of
$3.50 as stated
heartily agree with you, how
ever, that the Port Physician should
be salaried officer of the Govern
ment instead Of the recipient of
fees from the various steamship
companies. 1t certainly is greater
incongruity to have ono who is EN-
phatically a government official re.
ceiving fees from the ships than it
would be for the harbor master and
pilots to receive them from that
source. Yours truly,

BEATEN BY HER DAUGHTERS. Pitiful Story Told by Mrs. Nellie
 Berry of Chattanooga Street.

Mrs. Nellie Berry, 11S Chattanooga street, called at the Receiving Hospital yesterday morning and had two lacerated wounds in her scalp stitched and dressed by pr. Rinne. Amid sobs she told a pitt full story.
 She said that about o'clock she awak- ened her two daughters, Mollie 22 years of age. and Nellie 19. Mollie was angry, and rushing at her struck her on the head with the heel of her shoe inflicting the wounds. She begged her daughters to give her 10 cents so that she could take a car to the hospital to get her wounds attended to, but they refused and she was compelled to walk all the way.
 Her husband deserted her on June 13. after drawing 5000 out of the Hibernia Bank, which they had managed to save, and went to Honolulu. He was a brick layer. Since then her two daughters had been treating her cruelty and doing ev- erything to drive her out of the house so that they could have entire pos session. She had been compelled to live and sleep in the kitchen, while her daugh- ters occupied the rest of the house and lived sumptuously.
 On July they beat her so badly that she had to go to the City and County Hospital for treatment. They had also endeavored to have her arrested for in- sanity, but did not succeed. One of her daughters was employed in a millinery store on Market street, near Mason and the other kept house.

THE MERRY ORSSS ON THE SCANDALS LAUNCH
 BLOW FROM THE STEAMER

going full speed astern, and Chief En- gfneer Henry ChriStianSen was using every ounce of steam the boilers could carry, but without avail. The momen- tum on the dispatch boat was too great and as she swung while backing, her bow struck the launch on the star board quarter and turned her over on her side. The launch then ranged along the side of the McDowell until the lat ter'S engines were stopped, Mate Grimm fearing that some of the unfortunates who were struggling in the water might get caught in the screw.
 Half dozen whitehall boats were soon on the scene and all the unfortu- mates, save one, were picked up. Luck fly the launch had not been fitted with an awning. Had the covering been in place not a soul would have been saved. The awning would have closed over the men and women and they would have gone down with the launch.
 The only ones injured were Mrs. Cone and John Daly, the fireman. Mrs. Cone was rescued by Captain Hart. She went down twice before he could catch her and then he had a hard struggle to get her back to the launch. Once there the only thing for her to hold on to was hot steam pipe. It was a question of hanging on to 1t or drown ing and Mrs. Cone held on until her hands were blistered. In the meantime Captain Hart started out to rescue Mrs. Peterson, but she was picked up by w. Walford, the boatman. who was out in his whitehall. Daly was thrown against the boiler and was badly burned by the escaping steam.
 Mrs. Peterson had a narrow escape. She was going down for the last time when Quartermaster Lubrano, who was hanging on the overturned launch, held out his foot to her. Luckily she caught hold of 1t and kept afioat with Lubrano's assistance until help came. No one saw Mrs. Paxton after the Me- Dowell struck the launch and the sup position is that her dress was caught in the machinery and she was taken down with the boat.
 Boatman Wr'-ord picked up Mrs. Peterson, Nat T. Messer Jr., Third Of ficer Thompson and Quartermasters Jones and Lubrano.
 The State tug Governor Irwin picked up Fireman Daily and @ whitehall from Vallejo-street wharf saved Captain Hart, Engineer Hillman and Mrs. Cone. Both the ladies were very hysterical and could tell nothing about the 'acci- dent. They remembered being "horri- bly, frightened" when the Mcdowell came rushing down on them and then they were struggling in the water, after which all was a blank until they were safe in a rowboat. A hack was sent for and the two ladies taken to the Palace Hotel.
 After changing their clothes none of the men were anything the worse for their ducking. In ta.ning about the tragedy Captain Hart said: Mate Thompson was in charge of the launch
