FIERCE FIGHT WITH TRAMPS.
Beloit Police Have Desperate En-
counter With Twenty Hoboes.

Beloit, Wis, Sept 19.-Chief Apple
by and Officers Scheable, Chamberlain
and Whipple had desperate fight
early Monday morning with gang Of
twenty hoboes who were stationed in a
boxcar in the Northwestern railroad
yards, near the state line. The disor-
derby conduct and rioting of the men
brought complaints 30 the police and
they attempted to dislodge them, with
the result that a bitter fight ensued.
The four officers used their heavy clubs
to advantage and at one time twelve
of the buns were knocked out. The
remaining eight beat a hasty retreat
across the state line and the others
followed as they were able. The men
are still lurking about The Willows.

POLICE AND TIE SOLDIERS
GUARD LAST NIGHT CAUSED A
CLASH.
Private Hunt, Company II, Bayoneted
a Jap and Was Arrested by Police.
Police Withdrawn.

There was a bit of clash between
police and military authority yesterday
afternoon, as result of which the men
with clubs were Withdrawn at noon to-
day from Chinatown and the infected
district is now in the hands of the N.
G. III. alone. Police may enter the dis
trlct only when sent there by the de-
partment, with q pass from the Board
of Health, signed by Coils nel Jones.
AT 5:3O yesterday afternoon Private
Hunt, Company II, native Hawaiian.
while on duty on Beretania near Smith
streets, tabhed his bayonet into the leg
or japanese. The weapon entered
the skin at the rear of the right thigh.
After some inquiry from onlookers two
native policemen arrested Hunt and
took him to the station house Deputy
Marshal Chillingworth ordered the SOL
dler back to his beat, and instituted AN
investigation.
Hunts story is that the Japanese had
repeatedly tried to escape from quaran-
tine. He applied numerous times fuY
permission to go out and finally became
very Insulting. At last he attempted
to run by the guard and was given the
bayonet. Hunt says he submitted to
arrest by the police because the status
or the military in the district had not
been clearly defined.
The police have another story. They
say that the Japanese did not attempt
to run the guard, but that Hunt was
having little sport with him. They
say that the Jap turned back when or
dered, said something and Hunt ran
after him, toward the infected district
prodding after him several times. The
wound is certainly in the back of the
mans leg Names of a number of witt
nesses who corroborate this story have
been taken and the matter will most
probably be aired in police court after
the quarantine is raised
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth's opin-
ion after the affair last night was this:
There is no martial law. The police
and military are acting together in carl
rying out the quarantine. At the same
time the police are carrying out the
civil laws in the district. An infraction
of the civil law by a soldier lays such
soldier liable to arrest. Either the mi
litary or police have authority to use
force to the extreme to prevent anyone
escaping from quarantine; but neither
the military nor police have authority
to commit assaults in that district or
any other.
This opinion was given to Major
Ziegler, who had officially asked for
'an explanation"
The position of the military is that It
is in active service and can not be in
terfered with. If Hunt was wrong he
should be handled by the military au-
thorities alone, the policeman, if they
saw any part of the affair. being wiz
nesses at the courts martial 1t is held
that the military are in entire control.
Be the controversy as ii may the
military will now have absolute control.
Complaints will go to the military
commander. This ruling is important
as it defines the relative position of the
military and police when the former is
in active service with no martial law.

IS THE PLAGUE ON MAUI? ?
REPORTS OF MANY DEATHS
FROM THERE.
Much Oriental Merchandise has been
Sent there Lately from Here-Dead
Wagon Busy at Kihei.

The Kinau is expected to return to-
morrow with news from Maui that will
settle the question of whether the
plague has reached there. Reports
from natives and others that have
been there lately tell of an alarm
ing number of deaths and it is
feared that the disease which has
caused so much trouble here may have
gotten a footing on Maui. Much of the
Chinese and Japanese freight that is
supposed to be dangerous here has been
sent to the other islands and the germs
may therefore heve been carried there
From kihei comes report that the
dead wagon has been very busy during
recent days. AT the plantations there
are not very good facilities for finding
out by microscopic examination what
is the nature of disease, and it might
be possible for an outbreak of plague
to occur without it being known to
certainty what the trouble was. The
quarantine possibilities and other faci-
lities for fighting the disease are also
inferior.

SHORTAGE OF PROVISIONS
A RISE OF TWO CENTS IN THE
PRICE OF BEEF.
Plague Causes a Boom in the Grocery
Business But Makes Other Lines
Dull.

A rise of two cents pound has taken
place in the price of beef and there is a
general advance in the prices of sta
Piles of all kinds at the grocery stores,
some of them being almost altogether
out of stock. The plague has not had
much to do with these conditions. The
main cause is the arrangement in ship
ping which has prevented supplies from
gettirs frre. Dealers say that one of
the principal difficulties is getting goods
across the continent to San Francisco,
railroads in the States not being able
TO handle all the business.
Potatoes are out of stock altogether
There are stores in quarantine which
nave some, but they cannot be got at
Lewis and company refuse to sell more
than small bagful to any one GUS
toner and have refused all orders from
vessels, retaining the few sacks they
have for their private customers. The
ktnau may bring some, If she was al
lowed to enter Hawaii ports.
The rise i'm beef does not effect the
best meat. 1t applies only to the cheap
beef, which is used priclpally by ves-
sells, in large orders. The reason for
the rise, which is likely to be permanent
is the decrease in the island product
Lands that were once used for large
stock ranches are being turned into
sugar plantations and the island beef
supply threatens to come to an end.
The other staples that are higher and
scarce, such as table fruits, canned
meats, barreled salmon, etc. are nearly
all in the harbor on various vessels
and the shortage will very soon be rel
ieved.
The effect of the plague upon the
grocery business has been to create
great demand. Many people antici-
pated serious outbreak and at once
placed orders for large quantities of
goods, in the expectation that all stores
might be closed. In other lines. such as
dry goods, the business has been duh.

come down town as much since the

MEETING OF INSPECTORS.
Heads of Cleaning Gangs Make First
Reports.

There was a meeting at o'clock yes
terday afternoon of sanitary inspectors
with President Cooper, of the Board of
Health, to make reports on the condi-
tions in the various districts. Each in
spector gave details as he found them
and a campaign of continuing the work
of cleaning with more vigor was in
augurated.
1t was a notable fact that the in
spectors recommended the burning of
several rows of houses in Chinatown
as a sanitary measure. One of these
blocks is on the mauka side of Pauahi
from Nuuanu to Smith. Numerous out
houses have already been burned. In
many cases mattresses and other bed
ding has been piled into the streets and
cremated.
The work will not stop. Sub-inspec-
tors have been appointed for each dis
trict so that head may be on duty at
all times A complete census of each
district is being made.
