There was a plague scare yesterday
morning, but it was only scare and
nothing in the line OF plague was' de-
veloped; the day passed with a clean
record. the fifth clean day since the
last case of the disease.
An Hawaiian woman, Hooapi Hoo
ipu by name, aged so, died suddenly in
Kalia near Waikiki. DR.. Sinclair visit
ed her, but when he arrived il was too
late to administer treatment. DIR. Sim
clair gave il as his opinion that the
cause Of death was typhoid pneumonia;
but nevertheless considered it neces-
sary to report the case as one requiring
an autopsy, as cases Of typhoid fever
and pneumonia are open TO more or less
suspicion at the present time. Drs.
Hoffman, and lobe went out and the
body was taken to the morgue. A
post-mortem was held which determin-
ed pneumonia as the cause of death
with a general degeneration of the
liver, kidneys and lungs. The doctors
were surprised that the woman should
have lived as long as she did
What for the time being also proved
to be somewhat of a scare was the
death early yesterday morning OF lit
tie two-months old Japanese boy, Mo-
richi Morita. Morichi had been sick
for two or three days and was first at
| tended by DR.. Kobayashi. Dr. Katsuki
was also called in by the child's par
ents and he decided the case TO be one
of bronchial-pneumoni and reported
| il as such. The case was one which
required an autopsy and the body was
! removed TO the morgue. The father Of
the infant apparently failed 70 under
stand the. necessity OF a post-mortem,
| for he sought out DR.. Wood while he
was engaged at meeting Of the Board,
| and said that he wanted the body of
| his baby. DR.. Wood with the help Of
/ DR.. Katsuki explained TO the parent
/ that the body would be returned TO
him after the autopsy, providing of
| course that the case did not prove to be
one of plague. Morita refused to I'M
derstand. however, and went away in
! consolable. Later in the day DIR. Hoff-
mann examined the child's body and
decided that death had been caused by
enteritis. The body has been returned
to the parents.
II. NJ. Levy, the Hawaiian hotel
clerk, who was taken to the pest house
on March 2, is no worse and keeps up
his excellent spirits, getting along as
we'll as can be expected
4 dead rat was discovered in PauOa
valley, near the bridge, yesterday
morning. People we're at first afraid
to go near it, making sure that plague
baci Ii lurked Whereabouts; some Of the
more sensible at length built q fire
around the body and burned II,

that the Board would go into executive
