HEALTH BOARD MEETING

N y
of the Board of Health, nearly the
whole time was taken up with a con-
sideration of the Hotel stables and the
disposition of the same.
At the Saturday meeting President
Wood brought up the discussion of the
case Of All Sing who died at the Chi
nese hospital during the morning. His
case was decidedly suspicious. The
pneumonia form Of plague seemed to
have been developed. There was very
little doubt that All Sing died OF
plague. 1t had been found that All
Sing was at one time an employee at the
Club stables. The case was very much
like that of All Hung who was taken
from the Hotel stables Monday, In re-
gard to this latter case everything had
been done to find the whereabouts of
the fellow before he died.
l.. A. Thurston then furnished the
Board with information regarding the
case of All Sing. The fellow had been
living on the Insane Asylum road lie
was not moved to the Chinese hospital
until the morning of the day on which
he died. All Sing was a stable keeper
and until recently had been at the Club
stables. After that he went to the Ho-
tel stables. IL is believed that the
statement of sixteen days sickness is
false.
Another statement was to the effect
that he had been sick since the goth
inst This was probably correct.
The inspector of the district reported
that he had found four Cinnamon in
the Asylum road house when he began
his rounds but, since the 18TH, these
men had moved out. They were all
stable employees. Aliona admitted hav-
ing housed All Sing during his illness.
All Sing failed to go to work on Tues
day, February 20.
A cousin OF this Chinaman said he
had been in the habit of hanging
around the fishmarket great deal.
After further discussion on the mat
ter DR.. Emerson stated that the Board
now had sufficient justification to burn
the stables. DR.. Wood stated that the
matter had not been fully cleared up
and DR.. Emerson then said that pre-
cautionary measures should be taken.
DR.. Wood said this was SO already.
At the meeting Sunday afternoon
President Wood again brought up the
matter OF the death Of All Sing at the
Chinese hospital Saturday afternoon.
DR.. Hoffman nad examined slides and
found the case to be plague.
President Wood stated that he had
been about all morning trying to get
evidence In regard to All Sings case
He finally found John Andrade who
mad All Sop. one OF his stables China
men In his hack. This fellow was a
cousin of All Sing. From this fellow
DR.. Wood obtained the information
that All Sing had worked at the Club
stables wrich place he left about
month ago. ne then worked for the
Hotel stables about two weeks. He
had been living in Palama.
DIR. Wood stated further that he had
gone to the Hotel stables Friday night
FOR information but had not secured
much. From several other sources he
had found that All Sing had been an
empioye at the Hotel stables. He had
worked there week or two and Il
could be safely said that this was the
third case from the place. All Sing
certainly did contract the disease while
WORKING at the stables. He had first
"o'"N" 90 " s'dDit tlpn as a
harness cleaner.
Here followed quite long discus
sion on the matter of evidence against
the Hotel stables. DR. Wood stated
that the Board was In possession OF all
the information necessary to go ahead
with the consideration OF the disposi-
ton of the Hotel stables.
On motion of Mr.. Lowrey IL was una
nimously resolved that the Hotel sta
bles be declared infected with plague
and burned.
Mr.. Hatch asked for the opinion of
the medical members OF the Board in
regard to the Club stables. In the
light of recent evidence, the action of
THE Board might be reconsidered,
DR.. Wood stated that he was afraid
the Board was not yet finished with
Block 10. Mr.. Hatch moved that work
in the Club stables be suspended un-
TIL the next meeting of the Board.
This was seconded by DR.. Day and
unanimously carried.
After the regular meeting the whole
Board drove out to the late home of
All Sing on the Asylum road and re-
solved that 1t be burned, together with
all the other buildings in the enclosure.
