''TURN 'EM LOOSE.
Lieut.. Col Little's Command, Given
When His Battalion Reaches
Honolulu

The following is from a letter receiv-
ed by Bruce Wilson from his son, Will
bur Wilson, who is with the Twentieth
Kansas volunteers. The letter is da-
ted Honolulu, November 1S.
THE Newport arrived safe in harbor
November H. but we did not go ashore
until noon of the next day. When we
arrived in the harbOr it was dark so we
anchored and waited for daylight but
when it came we had to wait until the
transport Pennsylvania steamed out so
We could get up to the wharf. We were
entertained by a crowd of native boys
from to Is years old who dove into
the water after coins that were tossed
overheard by the soldiers. They never
failed to bring them up.
The Newport touched the pier at IL
o'clock The boys were so anxious to
get on land once more that they climb
ed over the sides of the vessel without
e, command. The guards stopped them.''
6 Turn them loose commanded Lieu
tenant Colonel Little, and in less than
board except hospital inmates, guards
and prisoners.
''I was among the first to get off and
went at once to the house of Dan H.
Case. I took lunch there and he went
into the garden and picked banana
'papaias,' a fruit similar to muskmelon
but grows on a tree. We also had some
of the famous Hawaiian poi
Honolulu is a modern city in. every
respect. It is the most beautiful city
have ever visited. The people demand
the best of everything. The houses are
mostly of the Gothic style Some are
large and handsome palaces with beau
tiful lawns. Others are small cottages
with a yard of tropical plants and
trees.
THE palace once occupied by Queen
LilioukaIani has been converted into an
executive building. The two courts are
across the street. The soldiers make
excursions into the country and see
such sights as oxen drawing ploughs.
We had a nice voyage across the
Pacific and with the exception of the
last three days the water was very
calm. We sail tomorrow morning (19)
for Manila"

WATCH THE BACK DOORS
OF Houses That are Quarantined for
Diphtheria-

Police Matron Thorpe in speaking Of
diphtheria cases which have come to
her notice said: 1T would be more con-
sistent to leave the front door unguard-
ed than the back door of the houses
where diphtheria, patient are quaran-
tined.
1.-The patient is usually far removed
from the front door but germs of con-
tagion must necessarily be carried out
of the back door in clothing and articles
from the sick room and the moving
about of attendants.
Many milk men and grOcers go to
the back doors from the alley Innocent
of the quarantine they go on from
house to house, possibly scattering the
disease. This may account for the ap-
pearance of disease in widely separated
places.
"A lady entered an uptown Office this
week exclaiming: I have had such
fright We deliver milk to the -
family. This morning 1 was coming to
town SO I brought it myself. I went
in the back gate as usual, went into
the kitchen to warm myself and noticed
a nurse there who asked me to bring
some fresh eggs for a sick child
found that the child was very sick
with diphtheria. I have three little ones
and may carry the disease to them
This is one of many such cases. The
back doors should be closely looked az

Through the Council.
MASS MEETINGS HELD
BY Members of All Political Or
ganizatiOns.
People Back Up the Mayor Re-
gardless of Party.
He is Confident and COunsels
Moderation.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-Democrats, Repub-
Hcans and citizens, irrespective ofparty,
assembled in mass meetings in various
wards Of the city last night and de-
clared themselves unalterably opposed
to any street railway legislation under
the Allen law. Acting under this law,
it is proposed in the city council to ex-
tend the street railway franchises fifty
years.
Prominent speakers were in attend
ance at all of the meetings. The war
machinery of the Democratic party took
up the cause just as the executive com
mittee of the Republican party had a
few days previous.
Chicago has never witnessed such a
spectacle before, and it is doubtful If
any other city has.
Mayor Harrison called for votes to
help him win the fight against the fifty
year franchise ordinance on the PROPOSE
ton:
mo franchise extension ordinance of
any kind until the Allen law Is re-
pealed.''
He wrote his name to the following:
Every political, social, religious or
other organization which takes action
against the proposed traction ordinances
is requested to send a delegate to the
independent anti-bood1e league, room
323 Ashland block. Such delegate shall
act as a member of the leagues execu-
tive committee and shall report the
necessity of public action, should such
necessity arise, to the organization
sending him. It is necessary that a per-
manent and watchful force should fol-
low the peoples fight to the end.
(Signed), GARTER HARRISON.'
In addition to political speakers the
1eagde has at it's disposal lawyers,
judges, ministers, professors, business
men and workingmen who have offered
their services.
Mayor Harrison today put the brakes
on some hot-headed citizens who talked
"rOpes," by telling them that in the
first place there would be no necessity
for any overt acts, because the gang
could not muster enough votes to pass

has filed his bill against the state for
the trip, in the state auditors office.

been paid as yet. Auditor Morris is
holding it up, pending the opinion of the
