There IA positively no connection be-
tween the woman who died and the
native woman around town known az
Sweet Emily" as has been reported
Mrs. Blsling was a woman OF ~ years
and has two grown children. while
Sweet Emily Is probably not more
than thirty years old
The suspect case is that OF a Hawaii
an boy, 10 years old. named Hoomana
Wanul. first reported and attended by
see the boy yesterday evening and took
the boys temperature. which regis
tered 1919 AS the boy had been
i'll only since morning. Or. Garvin re-
ported the case at the Board of Health
office as suspicious. Up To Thurs
day the boy had been work
ing at the Kalihi detention
camp. and complained that day OF not
feeling well. The symptoms so far de-
veloped are pulmonic. He still re-
mains at his home. and will he re-
moved today If the case is certainly
diagnosed as one of plague.
Board of Health Meeting.
Every member OF the Board of
Health was present al yesterdays SEES
sion, President Wood occupying the
chair The members present were, At
torney-General Cooper, Drs. Day and
Emerson. George w. Smith, +. NJ.
Hatch and +. w. Lowrey.
The President read communication
from John Grace, chairman of the Hilo
Health Committee. which referred to
the doings of that committee and the
appointment of a special representa-
tive to confer with the Honolulu Board
of Health. The letter and its request
were somewhat ambiguous to the Board
and the same was laid over until com
munication could be had with Mr..
Loebenstein, who arrived yesterday by
the kilauea Hou, and who is to act for
the Hiloites. The only apparent mo-
tive for Mr.. Loebenstein' visit to Ho-
nolulu was that there was probably
a shortage of provisions at some point
on Hawaii and shipments from this
port We're absolutely necessary
Mr.. Hatch called up further reading
of the Sanitary Regulations, and made
some important changes, one of which
is that the depth of cesspools has been
changed from nine feet as formerly
printed, to eighteen feet.
1t was moved by Mr.. Hatch and sec
onded by Mr.. Smith. that the regula-
tons be adopted by the Board of
Health. Carried.
Complaints OF Chinese.
Complaints of some of the merchants
OF the Chinatown district untouched
by the late fire were discussed. Some
everything in their power to bring
their places OF business and have the
streets re-opened, namely, Nuuanu,
Hotel and King streets. 1t was de-
c.ded that if the merchants removed
the structures in the rear of their
stores, which were mostly lean-tos,
and have their stores thoroughly fumi
gated under the supervision of the
spectral agent of the Board, such a |
course might be adopted
AT present these streets are not be- |
ing strictly quarantined because it has |
not been considered necessary to do |
that. The center of the infection has |
evidently been destroyed in that dis
trict and the Board does not now feel
that 1t can run a dividing line through |
Nuuanu street and say that one side is
clean and the other side unclean. The
Board Is now seriously considering the
plan to employ Sanitary Engineer, as
proposed sometime ago, to make an /
original report upon the places in ques-
Ton and recommend the changes that |
are considered necessary to make the
section clean from infection.
1t was moved that the fence contract,
around the burnt district, be awarded |
to Mr.. Russell, he being the lowest |
bidder, namely 80 cents per lineal foot. |
Motion carried.
Mr.. Hatch moved that the first por-
ton of the fence to be constructed, |
be built entirely round blocks and 5, |
which would completely shut in the |
burned portion below King street and
leave that thoroughfare open for traf-
fic. Carried.
Moved that the stores on Nuuanu.
King and Hotel streets, be allowed to
open for business, after they have re-
moved the structures in the rear. and
nut their premises in sanitary condi-
ton. Carried. This motion excepted
the Wing Wo Tai store. the Holt block
and Mclean block, the latter just in
fected.
The Shipment of Rice.
Urgent requests to allow rice to- be
shipped away to other island ports
have been received at the health office.
Reports have come in that the Kama
10 plantation laborers have little to eat
