About Oriental Goods.

Minister Cooper referred to importa-
lions of Oriental goods, especially of
eggs packed in soil, or charcoal dust.
The Surgeon General of the United
States Marine Hospital Service had
given orders to the surgeons of that
service to destroy such goods wherev-
er they found them. President Dole
said he was satisfied that if those food
stuffS were shut off from importation,
the Chinese and Japanese could put
them up here just as well, and it would
in fact be the commencement of new
industry.
Mr.. Smith showed the Board an in
voice from a shipping firm of Yokoha-
ma to Alexander & Baldwin of this
city for 1924 packages of goods which
were on the steamer Strathgyle. This
vessel left Yokohama for San Diego
! via Honolulu ON January 30th, and Is
expected by the consignees any day.
Messrs. Alexander & Baldwin asked
that the Board prevent the landing OF
the goods in Honolulu, and also to
order the ship to proceed Immediately
to San Diego. The consignees stated
| they had cabled the shippers via San
Francisco not to send the freight on
but they replied that they had already
contracted to send it and therefore
could not comply with the cancella-
ton.
Mr.. Hatch moved that the subject OF
importations from infected countries
be referred to a special committee OF
the Board. Carried.

very handy for them. A fence could
be erected so as to completely segre-
gate them from others now using the
drilished grounds. A report upon this
suggestion>will be made by Minister
Cooper today.
Mr.. Lowrey and Mr.. Smith reported
they had made an inspection of the
fence around Block 10, but did not ap-
prove of the manner in which the cor
rugated iron strips had been nailed to
the inside of the board fence. In their
opinion it was possible for rat to
make its way over the top of it. There
were also five buildings near Fowler's
yard which had been condemned some
time ago by the Board to be destroyed
by fire, but as yet no instructions had
been given the Fire Department to
burn them. They suggested an order
be given to that effect.

CASINO AUDIENCE SAW CURTAIN BURN

RESUMED AFTER THE BIG CAN

PERFORMANCE RESUMED AFTER THE BIG CAN
VAS DROP HAD BEEN DESTROYED.
The audience at the Casino Theatre last night
witnessed a scene that was not the pro-
gramme. 1t was the burning Of the immense
stage curtain and strange to say. not more
than dozen persons left the theatre. The 9TH
ers remained in their seats and calmly watched
the flames from the BURNING curtain fly into the
air.
1t was in the last act OF THE Belle Of New
York" that the fire occurred. Suddenly the au-
dience and players were startled by the appear
ance OF Acting Stage Manager Lawrence on the
stage He called to the stage hands to drop the
curtain. and at the same time said that 1t
was on fire. La Daisy dancing girl who was
doing her act. jumped into one Of the nearby
boxes just as the curtain reached the stage.
The audience jumped to their feet. but Just as
quickly sat down again. They remained seated
and calmly watched the curtain being destroyed
by fire.
With the exception Of two players. the
chestra members remained in their seats and
watched the fire. not showing the least bit Of
excitement.
After the flames had died away the perform
ance was resumed. At it's conclusion Manager
Lederer said that the GOODNESS Of the audience
was the most remarkable performance he had
ever witnessed and was to be wondered at He
said he often wondered how audience so
large would conduct itself If a fire ever broke
out in the theatre.
Mr. Coventry the stage manager, who had
charge of the play when II in London, was
loud in his praises Of the way the audience con-
Quoted itself. and ventured the opinion that If
the same thing had occurred in one Of England's
playhouses. several hundred people would have
been killed
Manager Lederer said the damage would prob
ably amount to $3.50
