FOR SANITARY Building NEN Wizard OF Finance.
REGULATIONS TO APPLY IN THE
FUTURE.
All Structures Must be Approved by
Board of Notwithstanding Would
Ship Goods.

A very long and important meeting
of the Board of Health was held yes
terday afternoon.
The first business was consideration
of the report of the Merchants COM
mittee, requesting that numerous arti-
Giles of merchandise coming from clean
districts be allowed to go to the other
islands. 1t was remarked that there
would be no harm in shipping merchan-
disc from stores outside of quarantine.
The Board of Health called attention
to the fact that there was no unquar-
antined section of Honolulu; that the
whole city had been placed in quaran-
tine. The report was referred to the
Planters Association for its ideas.
The sanitary committee of the Board
submitted long report in regard to
the construction of buildings, the re-
concentrations embodied in which were
taken from the report of the sanitary
commission of two weeks ago. By the
adoption of this report all future build
ings put up must be on specially pre-
scrbed lines, in addition to those laid
down by the superintendent of Public
Works.
The question of providing for the peo-
pie released from quarantine came up
and was discussed independently Of
the proceedings in CABINET. In cOnnec-
ton with the matter came an offer
from John f. Colburn of a tract con-
tanning about forty acres, situated in
Kalihi. for one year without charge.
The land belongs to the Kapiolani Es-
tate.
A communication from H. p. Baldwin
was reported in which that gentleman
said that Maui did not want any mer-
chandise from Honolulu except such
articles as the island could not get
along without.
DR.. Davis was granted a license to
practice medicine in the Islands.

DULL STOCK MARKET PROVOKEs
DISCUSSION.
But the Discussion Tends to Show That
Stocks Are Suffering Only in Sympa-
thy with other Business.

"We'll have to replace b. F. Dill
ingham with Col. John H. Soper as the
Honolulu wizard of finance" said one
in the group of brokers who were alter
mating their observations of the stream
of would be Australia passengers going
to and from the Consul Generals office,
with discussions Of the stock market.
"Why?" asked the others in chorus
Because of his settlement of the
Waialua stock DEAL" replied the first
speaker Just look at the situation"
he continued DILLINGHAM; paid Soper
S65, 900 in cold cash and spent several
days or weeks of hard work and worry
carrying through the plan of an addi-
tional issue of $1,000000 of stock. Now
what is the situation? Waialua assess
able, 60 per cent paid is quoted so bid
and sly asked. At those figures he
could have gone on the market and
bought the million dollars of stock the
court required him to produce, for $515,
600, which he had sold at the par value
of the assessments, or better and so
have cleared up the difference, don't
you see, instead of being out the cool
S65, 900 he paid Soper.
ION the other hand, Soper took $685.
600 which is still at par, surrendering
claims to stock which fiuctuates and
which is now fuctuating the wrong
way. Therefore, am I not right gentle
men in declaring Soper and not Dilling-
ham the real wizard of fnance?"
you're right" said the oldest broker
in the crowd. You're as right as Col.
Sellers or any of these other fellows
who figure out colossal schemes on pa
per. But if you go to handling your
money on that basis you'll end up where
Joe Letter did. Not but what Col. Soper
showed good sense in settling the con-
troversy instead of letting the litigation
go on to the detriment of the planta-
| ton But if anyone undertook to buy a
million dollars worth of Waialua he'd
have to pay a good deal more than $685.
600 for it. Stocks have felt the general
effect of the plague on business. But if
! you'll notice even the market quota
lions don't show any great falling off
in dividend paying and what may be
called investment stock and bonds, and
good properties will recover as soon as
normal conditions return"

SENATOR MORGAN.
Gov. Johnson of Alabama Wants His
Senatorial Seat,


WASHINGTON, December 27-The
contest between Senator Morgan and
Gov. Joseph S. Johnson of Alabama,
who is seeking the seat of the former
in the senate, is becoming quite acute,
and has reached the stage where for
NAL letters demanding explanations are
in order. Mr.. Morgan made speech
the other day about trusts, and GOV,
Johnson, who belongs to a firm of iron
manufacturers at Birmingham, took Of
Tense at what he considered a personal
allusion The exact words were these:
1T is a monster monopoly that had to
leave Alabama and find home and
shelter in New Jersey, and large cor
poration in which the governor of Ala
bama has or had a large amount OF
stock leads the procession"
The governor of Alabama demands
that Senator Morgan retract the above
statement or withdraw from the shell
ter of the senate" and repeat it at some
place where he can get at him
Whatever the facts in question may
be it is perfectly safe to say
that although Senator Morgan is n
years old he will not permit even the
governor to play "horse" with him
There was a report about the capitol
today that Gen. Joe Wheeler had cap
tured Aguinaldo, and if it ever turns
out to be true, both Senator Morgan,
with all his learning and ability and the
profound confidence that is felt in him
by his colleagues of both parties, and
Gov Johnson, will have to look for other
Jobs Fighting Joe" will be the next
senator from Alabama.
