WHITE MAN, BELIEVED TO HAVE
HAD CONSUMPTION.
Unsuccessful Search for a Child with
Fever-Bids for Wallng the Old Ke-
walo Ditch.

Fourth day-Plague deaths, 0; plague
cases, O.; suspicious cases, 0.
At the morgue this afternoon is the
body Of f. Hansen, aged As, a sailor
from a merchantmen, who died at the
Sailors Home last night without medi-
cal attention. Consumption is believed
to have been the cause of death. The
autopsy is being conducted by DR..
Hoffman.
DIR. Jobe went out this morning to see
small native child in the Kapahulu
district, but failed to find the house.
1t is learned that the child has a fever,
probably malaria, and that the family
was recently released from quarantine
at Kalihi Another effort to find the
place will be made this afternoon c.
r. Collins reported the case.
At the Interior Office at noon bids
were opened for walling the Kewalo
ditch. While the figures were wide
apart and all did not follow specifica-
tions it was plain that the cost of the
/ improvement would be at least $25, 900,
which is above the estimate of Superin-
| tendent Rowell. The plans will be re-
ferred back to Engineer Edwards with
| view to getting a modification that
/ may prove cheaper.
The Board of Health found it could
not handle Man Sing, the fellow who
tried to ship goods falsely over the Ca

remembered that he emptied a case of
tin salmon after same had been approx
ed and stuffed the box full of clothing
to be sent to his friend in the country
In no way could the case be brought
in court and the only thing the Boart
can do is to be more particular with
Mr.. Man Sings goods in the future.
Minister Young began this morning
on the work of providing two sanitary
closets for the waterfront, one to &C

MARITIME COURT MEETS

Her Brittanic Majesty's maritime
court to hear and determine causes
under the provisions of the Merchant
Shipping Act of 1894 convened this
morning at the British Consulate. The
court was composed of Hon. WIi.iam
Robert Hoare. II. B. MS Consul pre-
sident; Thomas Bisley Jones, master of
the ship Champion of Liverpool; Fran
els w. Chapman, master of the ship
IancinF of London; and Captain Evans
Of the bark Conway Castle of London.
The court was organized and conveu-
ed to try Michael Swanton and eleven
others, sailors on the Inverness shire,
on a charge of continuous neglect of
! duty" The acts constituting the
i offense alleged are those of the sailors
! beginning at the time the Inverness
shire drifted from her anchorage Feb
ruary 10, until she was brought back,
February 20.
The charge against the sailors is in
writing. The sailors are being defend
ed by George A. Davis. The prosecu-
ton is being conducted by A. S. Hum
| phreys. The witnesses examined at the
forenoon session were Captain Peattie,
master of the Inverness -shire. Captain
Kenny of the stevedore firm which fur
nished the crew that went out to the
drifting vessel, ana Captain Saunders,
the pilot.
Captain Peattie's testimony was
practically the same account of the
matter as he had already given to the
newspapers. The ships was worked by
the crew he took out to her and not by
the men on trial. He insisted that these
men refused to work He admitted on
cross examination that he had put the
sail maker in irons and kept him there
for three hours after the vessel arrived
back in port
Captain Kenny testified to what he
saw on board, relating a number OF in
cidents that happened during his eX-
perience on the vessel.
Captain Saunders testified that wher
he went on board, one of the defend
ants came to him and said that he re-
presented the others of the crew and
that they were all willing to work to
bring the ship back to a safe anchorage
but that they would not work for any
other purpose; that they had griev-
ances against the master which they
wanted settled.
"You did not attach any Importance
to that statement. did you?" asked one
, of the members of the court
"Yes, I attached a great deal of I'm
portance to 1t, and reported it at once
to Captain Peattie," replied Captain
Saunders.
It is stated by Attorney George A
Davis that the extreme penalty whicl
can be imposed by the court in case o
, conviction under the law under whicl
, the prosecution is brought, is twelv
/, weeks imprisonment and a fine.
Tn hearing Of the case is going oil
this afternoon.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Meeting Yesterday Considers School
Opening and Budget.

At the meeting of the Commissioners
of Education held yesterday the matter
of reopening the schools was again
threshed out. 1t was the consensus Of
opinion that there should be no COM
pulsion in the matter of attending the
schools and that there might be a slight
risk at best in allowing the children
from parts of the city to assemble to-
gether in the room. 1t was finally de-
cided to allow such classes of the High
School as have pupils above the school
age to begin work. 1t was also deter
mined to open the Normal School, al
lowing such pupils as wish to attend.
The committee on lands and buildings
presented it's report but it was deferred
for future action. The estimates for the
coming period are two or three times
as great as last. One item is $50, 900
for new Royal School and there is
another large item for normal school.
1t is recommended that 100000 be ap
propriated for repairs to school houses
in place of $4,000 last time.

KAHULU| DETENTION CAMP
RACE TRACK ABANDONED AS IT
WAS UNSUITABLE.
New Camp on Higher Ground-seven
Buildings ompleted-Scarcity of
Blankets-Water Supply-Hay Wode-

Special Correspondence of The Star.
KAHULUI, February 20.-The new
detention camp was finished last night
and as it was imperative that the people
be gotten away from the race track
camp as soon as possible they were
moved Immediately. The new camp
Will be a model one. Even in the old
camp with 260 people there was only
one down with malaria.
There has been one case of plague
since the 10th, Chinaman taken from
Chinatown. He had been isolated since
the 18th. He died the 18th.
The race track camp was in a terri
BILE state when 1 arrived with DR..
Wood. The ground is very low and a
big storm on the 18th made matters
| very much worse. Everybody got wet
through. There are no blankets on the
Island and one pair had to do for about
three men. We got few bales of su-
gar bags and distributed them freely
and they were a great help. The 10th
some clothing was sent in from outside
| districts and they are a great help to
keep the people warm.
| There are a lot of blankets on the
| Centennial in the harbor and we are
] anxiously waiting for them to be land
ed. The vessels in the harbor very
kindly turned over all their spare
blankets to us. 1t Is hard job to get
supplies too, but we have to make the
! best of a bad job and are getting alone
fairly well. Some things we can't ge
at all and other things are plentiful
The race track camp was in such
bad state that it was decided to builC
another new camp just south of Ka
huiui upon the highest land we cOuIt
find. We got all the carpenters a
work we could find, and have sever
buildings finished. The plan of tn,
camp is square near the railroad
tracks. One side of the square is oc
cupied by the office, store rooms anC
kitchen. The rest of the square is oc
cupied by two rows of three houses
each facing on a central street. Tn,
houses each contain four rooms, IA b,

FOOD ON MALL

PAIA, February 19.-Chinese store
keepers in Kula seem to have an idea
that foodstuffs are or will be scarce on
the Island, by their prices. They are
asking SO a bag for -four and more
than double the usual price for kero-
sene. One storekeeper there has two
bags of rice on hand, and refused to
sell at less than 500 a bag In conse-
quence the residents of Kula, club to-
gether and send carts to Paia and Ha-
makuapoko, where they get flour at
$780, and other things at the usual
price. The stores have plenty of pro-
visions on hand, though there is a tenn
porary kerosene oil famine. A big sup
ply is on board the Centennial, which is
unloading as fast as possible. AS the
Kahului r. r. Co. is obliged to get out
side labor to handle their fright, and
there is a dearth of that, the unloading
of vessels is a slow matter.

MYSTERY" OF THE WHALE.
Captain Mosher in Bluff Sailor Fashion
Explains 1t.

Captain F. Mosher of the steamer Ke
Au Hou, writes, apropos of a statement
in contemporary wherein it is pro-
pounded as a mystery how Captain
Mosher could see a stranded whale at
Makaweli when he was fifty miles away
Captain Mosher explains the "mys-
terry" in the bluff, straightforward way
that sea captain would be expected to.
He says: ''The Ke Au Hou was at Ma
kaweli from the afternoon of January
2S till noon of January 20. The whale
was stranded at Makaweli on the morn
ing of January 20. The Ke Au Hou
was at the most not more than 1000
yards away from the nameless fish and
in full view of 1t. watched the pro-
cess of cutting 1t up, and the sum
reahzed by the Japs by selling the meat
was less than $500. Your contemporary
says it does not attempt to explain the
mystery" ! am not an X-ray machine
and can't look through the Island of
Kauai and Bee a 45-foot whale on th7
other side. But there is no mystery
about seeing a stranded whale at as
close quarters as / was"

.ONE BODY IN THE NORGUEBACK FROM THE OCEAN
STALE EGGS AND ORANGES ON
THE BEACH.
The Board of Health Sends Them to
Sea, Waves Return Them and Natives
Gather Them Up.

While the steamer Kaena is making
trips all day long to the open sea tug
ging loads of rubbish to be dumped in
deep water, the tides are steadily bring
the refuse back, to be picked up along
the shores by natives and Chinese. The
stuff that drifts back ashore is the
worst class of rubbish carried out. The
corrugated iron roofing, which has been
through fire and has no plague germs
or germs of any other kind, settles
down on the bottom of the ocean. The
other stuff-the rotten fruit from Japan
the oriental eggs that belonged to a
former generation of the chicken fami-
ly,-rises to stay on the surface of the
waves, acquiring new powers under the
influence of the hot sun as it slowly
finds it way back to the island of Oahu.
Residents of Waikiki have made many
complaints of the lining of the beach
with this sort of stuff and of the prac-
| tice of natives of going out with baskets
and filling them with stale fruit and
eggs. The Board of Health recently
condemned a large quantity of the eggs
and oranges, the oranges being the
large japanese variety and the eggs
| those which come here from the orient,
packed in boxes of damp earth. With
consignees in quarantine, lot of this
sort of freight remained uncalled for on
| the Pacific Mail wharf until il began to
speak for itself. Then it was ordered
! destroyed. Instead of being delivered to
a hot fire it is taken out and dumped in
| the sea. Natives are gathering 1t on
| the beach, in spite of the compile mis- OF
! inspectors. The Kaena is working
! steadily on the pile of rubbish near the
| old fiShmarSet wharf, but has not yet
made much of an impression. There is
still enough rubbish there to keep her
busy for a long time, unless she gets a
| bigger scow than the one she is now
using. The dumping of rubbish in the
open sea promises to be one of the most
expensive features of the fight against
