In October General Wood drew up an
elaborate plan to be followed when tho
anticipated return of the fever IN Cpl
demic form occurred. 1t was now that
his training as q physician proved invs4u-
able.
He understood the disease IN all tn
phases and he knew just what precau-
tions were rational and efficient. There
were three principal points as outlined.
These were first, the immediate break
ing up of the various regiments into
small squads and their being kept oon-
stantly on the move from camp to camp
outside the city; second, the absolute
maintenance Of sobriety among all Anaert-
cans; third the establishment Of rigid
quarantine.
''I look upon rum or any alcoholic bev-
erage as the greatest factor in the oon-
traction Of yellow fever" he said in ex-
planning his plan. Heating the blood
with bad whisky Is simply creating hot
bed for the propagation Of the germs.
A man cannot drink and face the fever
unscathed."
1t is this rule that General Wood is
now enforcing so strictly in Santiago. His
action in closing the saloons and sum-
marily arresting any American found un-
der the influence of liquor is simply part
of his carefully arranged plan OF cam
paign against yellow jack.

In preparing for a summer season OF
yellow fever in Santiago the possible value
of using immune troops was taken into
careful consideration. A decision in the
negative was reached, the immunity Of
soldiers previously exposed to contagious
fevers being very much open to doubt.

For years the press of the United
States has been printing letters that pur-
ported to describe things as they were on
these islands, but I have found that much
of the matter has emanated from the
pens of subsidized correspondents or from
writer's who relied too much upon their
imagination for their facts.
That Hawaii is beautiful no one can
deny. That these islands are among the
choicest of our new possessions there can
be no question, but that they constitute
an earthly paradise for a man out of
Job is q statement that is not true to
fact. For some time the opinion has pre-
vailed that all one had to do was to go
to Hawaii and that wealth would follow
as a necessity. On the contrary, Hawaii
IS the very last Of all our colonial posses
sions to which l should advise a man to
go unless he has sufficient capital to make
him Independent of circumstances for
long time, as well as enough surplus to
allow him to take advantage of his op-
portunity when it presents itself.
First, It must be remembered that Ha-
wall IS not a new country. Honolulu was

TRACING A HORSE THIEF
Clever Piece of Detective Work
Accomplished by Sheriff.
THINKS HE HAS CULPRIT
Many Changes OF Ownership Have &C ms
to a Blooded Horse Stolen
Two Years Ago From
Missoule.

When Deputy Sheriff Joe DAILY landed
Jack Kingstown in Jail yesterday there
was completed rapid and clever piece
of detective work on the part of the
sherffs office.
Two years ago there was stolen in
Missoula a handsome blooded driving
horse belonging to John NJ Evans, for
merly register of the land office 1t
bore the brand of the Evans estate, a
H. on the left shoulder. This brand was
sold by the Evans estate prior to that
time, but this particular horse was not
included in the sale.
Several days ago the horse was seen
in Deer Lodge by people who knew the
brand and the horse. Mr.. Evans was
consulted by telephone and gave a per-
rect and accurate description of the
animal. On this Deputy Sheriff Robin
son last Monday arrested Jack Welsh,
the man who had the horse, and
brought him to Jail in Anaconda,
charged with the theft.
Welsh strenuously denied his guilt
and alleged he had purchased the horse
from one Marshall, living at Chestnut,
near Bozeman. He had subpoenas is
sued for Marshall and one McTaggart,
also living at Chestnut and for Jack
hlngstoWn, a wood chopper, a married
man, living at Pony.
Sheriff Conley served the subpoenas
nrst upon Marshall and McTaggert.
From them he learned Marshall had
bought the horse from Kingstown.
Making further Investigations he learn
ed facts concerning Kingstowns char
acter and movements that made him
believe Kingstown was the thief. Fur
Their Investigations confirmed him in
this belief. The sheriff returned to
Anaconda and consulted with County
Attorney Duffy. AS a result warrant
was issued for Kingstown on the charge
of stealing the horse. Deputy Sheriff
DAILY went to Pony Friday and made
the arrest without trouble. Kingstown
denies all knowledge of the horse and
protests his innocence. The charge
against Welsh has been dismissed, but
he is held as a witness

from behind the Florence hotel while
the ice man was away. They ran out

and tried to turn on to Front street,
