THE SIS. AMERICA MARQ,DEATH Of ROBERT REIE.C
SHE WAS IN QUARANTINE IN
YOKOHAMA.
Board of Health Meeting This After
noon to Decide What Shall be Done

The America Maru arrived from the
Orient this morning, but is still at an
chOr outside the harbor. She was quar-
antined at Yokohama and the Board of
Health is holding a special meeting this
afternoon to determine what shall be
done with her.
She has aboard about 500 souls for
Honolulu, most of them Chinese and
Japanese, but there are some cabin
passengers. There is no vessel here
large enough to be used for a quaran-
tine ship. The alternatives presented
are that she land her passengers at the
quarantine island and proceed to San
Francisco or that she lie in quarantine
herself or that she proceed to San
Francisco carrying her Honolulu pass
engers with her. 1t is probable one of
the former alternatives will be adopted.
1t is denied by the agents of the Board
of Health that the are rats at quar-
antine island.
The quarantine period will be about
four days making fourteen in all, since
the last supposed infection was aboard
her.
At the special meeting of the Board
of Health, DIR. Wood reported on the
condition of the vessel. Four persons
were landed at Yokohama on June 23
Two, Japanese and a Chinaman, had
genuine bubonic plague. The latter

the Japanese would recover. The other
two recovered and proved not to have
plague.
The steamer was put in quarantine
six days at Yokohama. DIR. Rokaku.
the Hawaiian Government physician
there, wrote that he considered the time
of quarantine insufficient. From Yoko-
hama there were no suspicious cases.
There were several cases of fever, but
none were of dangerous or unusual
character.
Among the cabin passengers is
George r. Carter, returning from
Japan.
1t is seventeen days since the case of
plague was taken ashore at Yokohama
DR.. Wood favored landing the pas
sengers-eabin and steerage. DR.. Car
michael thought there would be no
danger if the effects of passengers were
fumigated
On motion it was unanimously de-
cided to land all the passengers.
The matter of whether or not the
ship should be allowed to approach the
wharf and discharge her cargo into the
fumigation room was taken up and is
being discussed.

CASCADES OF FIERY LAVAA SUPPLEMENTARY BRIEF.
ANOTHER PHASE IN THE COOPER
DISBARMENT MATTER.
Attorneys for Relator Say That Res
pondent Tried to Cover up His Guilt,
When Convinced Of His Error.

Kinney, Ballou & McClanahan, attor-
neys for A. S. Humphreys, today filed a
supplementary brief for relator in the
dtsbarment proceedings against Attor-
ney-General Cooper. In this additional
submission attention is specially drawn
to the significance and consequences of
the attorney generals order to the mar
shall to suppress any inquiry into the
propriety or impropriety of his conduct
by taking the case away from Hum
phreys, should the latter raise the point
in court. Heretofore relator had dwelt
wholly on the action of respondent IN
controlling both sides of the case
1t is contended that respondents con-
duct was improper; that his attention
was called to it and that at one time he
admitted it; that he subsequently
changed his mind, persisted i'm his i'm
proper conduct and gave the order to
the marshal purely to keep the facts
from the light of day. In detail the
charges submitted are summed up as
follows:
"First-Respondent committed the
grave improperly of sending an assist
ant of his department to defend a Grim
inal case, thereby discouraging Grim
inal prosecutions which il is his duty
to prosecute with vigilance.
'Second-The' respondent persisted in
this improper conduct after it's improp-
n,
even though the result of the proceed
ings was to break his word with Mr.
Atkinson.
''Third-The respondent then assum-
ned control of both sides of the case in
order that the prosecution might not be
able to contest the proprety of his pro-
ceedings.
"Fourth-The respondent by his or
der to Marshal Brown used his official
position and the hand with which he
was controlling the prosecution to sup
press judicial inquiry at the proper time
and place of the alleged improperly of
the actions of that hand with which
he was controlling the defense"
