ISLAND STEAMER MEN SUGGEST
A NEW RULE.
They Have Been in Quarantine Nearly
Two Months and Would Like to Land
on Other Islands.

The men on board the island steam
ers are complaining a great deal about
the rule that forbids them to go ashore
at other ports than Honolulu. They
have been in quarantine on the vessels
now for about six weeks, some of them
more, and have never set foot in Ho-
nolulu. For this reason they want to
be considered free from danger of in
fection and to be given the privilege
of going ashore on Kauai, Maui, Ha-
wall and other islands. 1t is stated that
the crew of one island vessel went
ashore on Kauai last week and were
welcomed by their friends.
The island steamers are now carry
ing freight that is loaded from vessels
in the harbor, and some machinery
from the wharves, to other island ports.
The rules of the Board of Health allow
them to put the freight ashore but not
to step off the vessels themselves. The
men think that they are not more dan
gerous than the freight they handle.
At many places the people are quite
willing to have the steamer men come
ashore. The officers and crew of the
| Iwalani were invited ashore at Laha.
| ina on their last trip, but would moi
| leave the vessel. On Kauai and Kons
and Kau the general opinion seems tC
! be that there is no danger from the
quarantined men. Permission to gC
ashore at the island ports they visi
would greatly lessen the hardship Of
the long quarantine for the officers anC
crews of the vessels, but so far the
| Board of Health has held that 1t 1!
dangerous for them to leave the yes

PAIHEN FIRE TOMORROW A REINSURANCE PUZZLE
GAMBLERS LOSE ON THE BARK
HOLLYWOOD.
Ten Per Cent Paid Though She was
Hardly Overdue-A Game Open to
All Corners.

Why was the British bark Hollywood
reinsured in San Francisco? This Is a
question that is puzzlng Captain Nc
Cauley, as well as others on the water
front. The bark had fairly good trip
and was spoken on this side of the
Atlantic. But for some rough weather
encountered at the Horn and a severe
whirlwind before she reached the Horn.
the Hollywood had an uneventful trip.
but Captain McCauley arrived here to
find that ten per cent was being paid
on his vessel in San Francisco. 1t was
another gamble with the Ito arrive"
end winning.
The marine reinsurance business has
been very active lately in San Francis
co, with the men who play the vessels
to go down as losers. The Charles T..
Moody was the heaviest recent gamble.
| Because she turned from a calm on her
| way to the Horn and headed for Homo
lulu by way of the Cape of Good Hope,
| from Norfolk, Virginia, the reinsureFs
! had her among the missing. Reinsur-
ance went as high as forty per cent and
then the Moody, safe and sound, sailed
| into Honolulu harbor and those who
| had paid the rates lost about half her
| value. The Moody was nearly two
hundred days out from Norfolk and had
never been spoken on the way.
| The Hollywood left Antwerp on July
over 160 days. She was spoken off
| Staten Island and made the Horn in 112
| days. Eight days were spent in sight
! Of the Horn, battling with the heavy
weather there. From the Horn p the
bark had sixty days of easy sailing.
The whirlwind came on the 9th Of
August 1t only struck the gaif top
sail and this was torn to shreds in a
few moments.
! The reinsurance is no loss to the cap
tain or owners of the vessel, unless the
latter want to play the game Captains
do not like to be posted as missing how
ever, when there is no cause for it. The
business is general throughout the
world 1t is about the same as placing
bets on whether a vessel will arrive or
not Captain McCauley recalls an in
stance in which a vessel came in after
! 95 per cent had been paid on her. The
game Is open to all outsiders who want
, to play it, and frequently results in
= some big hauls.

NANTLEAE TO@ASHORENO LOOKING FOR WORK
GRAFTERs IN THE NEW RELIEF
CAMP.
Those Who Refuse Positions at Rea-
sonable Pay Will Be Turned out to
Look After Themselves.

Life in the relief camp on Punchbowl
street is better than work, in the M nds
of most of the several hundred Chinese,
Japanese and natives who are being
supported there, and if there is any
chance to decline job and stay in the
camp, they will hold their comfortable
berths. The relief camp is a model of
convenience and cleanliness and the ir
mates are well fed. But the labor
bureau that is being conducted in con-
nection with the camp has adopted
rules that mean expulsion to all who
refuse to work. Anyone who is offered
a position and refuses it is promptey
told that he must get out and look after
himself. So far about hundred people
from detention camps have been pro-
vided with places, and several have
been turned out because they didn't
want places
The people in the relief camp are
| given freedom to go out of the camp
as they wish, presentation of their
tickets at the gate being required be-
fore they can return, so that imposters
may be kept out They live in rooms
that are lit by electricity, in six large
buildings that have a total capacity
of about 700. To one person in each
room a ticket is given that enables him
or her to draw on the commissary de-
partment twice a day for all in the
room. 1t is through the commissary
that those in charge of the camp are
able to reach the would-be grafters.
Last night a young Japanese who had
been offered a place as yard boy re-
turned and said that he couldn't take
the place 1t was his second experience
of the kind. The lady who had sent for
him was willing to employ him. His
commissary supplies were shut off anC
ticket of admission to the camp was
taken away, and now he is outsid,
looking for a place on his own hook
A cook who was offered place yester
day and refused to take it because tht
prospective employer would not begin
without trying him, at $500 a weel
with board and room, was about tC
meet with a similar experience, but this
morning lady engaged him at $55t
and he decided to 60

, This afternoon there were in the cam
available for employers 40 japanese
rs Chinese and 1S natives. The tote
population of the camp was about 3S:
about a hundred and eighty bcirg q

or men who are trying to start thei
own business again.

WORK FOR THE REFUGEES
PLAN TO PROVIDE FOR THE
HOMELESS.
A Public Work to be Accomplished in
Return for provision Made for Those
Out of Quarantine.

The plan of putting to work those
whose quarantine in the detention
camps has expired and who have no
homes or means of livelihood, seems
about to be put in operation.
Some days ago A. L. G. Atkinson
presented plan to President Wood for
a. continuation of the ditch which car
ries the rainfall from the slopes or
Punchbowl through the grounds of the
North Pacific Institute and Kawaiahao
seminary, so as to carry the water out
through Kewalo to the sea. On the
authority of President Wood he put a
large number of men from the Kero-
sene camp to work on section of this
to see what could be accomplished.
This morning the Board of Health IN
a body went out to inspect it. The
members were so impressed with It's
feasibility and utility, that it is likely
the whole plan will be carried out.
It is claimed that there is fall enough
to carry the water all out to sea at low
tide and that it will prove surprisingly
effective drainage for H large part of
the low lying section through which 1t
runs as we'll as carrying away quickly
the flood waters from Punchbowl which
now, for want of an outlet spread out
below King street making that region
wet and muddy. 1t is proposed that
where the ditch is cut through rubbish
out to sea.
About 800 people from the Kerosene
warehouse completed their term OF
quarantine yesterday and today. Sc
many of these are homeless that this
morning the Board of Health authoriz
ed Superintendent Atkinson to continue
to provide for all who needed such pro
vision until they could find means o
maintenance elsewhere.
1t is proposed to put all of these VIII,
are able to do the work, at work dig
ging this ditch in return for the pro
vision until they could find means o
maintenance elsewhere.
1t is proposed to put all of these VIII
are able to do the work, at work dig
ging this ditch in return for the pro
vision that is made for them 1t is no
intended that they shall work tn
whole time for their board and lodging
but that some work shall be require
as a consideration for the provisio
made for them. In this way a publ
work will be accomplished, and tn
homeless will be provided for in a wa
that will not encourage pauperism.

.TODAYS PLAGUE RECORD
NO DEATHS AND NO NEW CASES
REPORTED.
Hartman, the American Patient of
Last Night, is Apparently Improving
other Cases of Yesterday.

Tuesday-Plague deaths, O; plague
cases, 0; suspicious cases, 0.
There have been no alarming develop
ments in Board of Health circles to-
day. DR.. Jobe had call this morning
TO see a case of pneumonia in Palama,
but nothing came of it. DR.. Peterson
and DR.. Garvin have had few calls and
none of them were suspicious.
Mr.. Hartman the watchman from the
Pantheon stables, is better. He ap-
pears to be improving under the Pas
teur treatment and the Board is very
hopeful that he will recover.
The Japanese at South street and
Kawaiahao lane is still under surveil-
lance, though no positive evidences of
plague have developed. This man work
ed at the Pantheon stables, which is
the principal reason for his being
watched.
]. H. Hartman, American, aged 35,
developed plague at an early hour last
night and was removed from his lodg-
ings, 13 Punchbowl street, to the pest
hospital in Kakaako. He was night
watchman at the Pantheon stables and
had been ailing since Saturday. DR..
Wayson was his physician. Late yes
terday DR.. Wayson called in DR.. WOOD
and DR.. Taylor for consultation. The
case was adjudged plague and the pa
tient removed.
Soon after two doses of the plague
serum were injected into the mans
right thigh, the first dose about 10
O'Clock and the second two hours later
Mr.. Hartman displayed unusual nerve
and GOODNESS, and impressed the physi-
clans with the fact that he would be
able to combat the disease successfully
Hartman is a comparatively new mar
in the country. He has been a horse
man for many years. His employment
here as night watchman gave him gen.
eral supervision of animals, rigs and
harness for twelve hours and brought
him directly in contact with the infec
ted premises. He is said to have visited
the neighborhood of the hay loft fire
quently.

There is no escape for the early barren
