Judge w. l.. Stanley has been act
lively assisting the committee since
its organization, having had charge of
the registering and assigning of in
spectors and general executive work
in the office. A resolution was adopt
ed by the committee yesterday, re-
questing the Board of Health to ap-
point Judge Stanley member of the
committee, in order that he might
have full authority to act when neces-
sary.
Numerous reports have come to the
committee from inspectors of the large
number of NANCY dogs encountered by
them on their tours. In several in
stances, also, the inspectors have been
interfered with in their duties by at
tacks from the brutes. In almost ev-
cry instance, too, the dogs have no
tags. The committee accordingly re-
quested the Marshal yesterday to en-
force the dog-tag law. 1t is to be hoped
the dog catcher will appear on the
scene forthwith both as a sanitary
measure and as a protection to the
shins of the sanitary inspectors.
Numerous requests have come 20 the
committee for permits to allow the
transfer of merchandise and baggage
from one part of the city to another.
The committee does not consider that

its authority relates to the changing
of the residents of persons and .heir
effects and not to merchandise. Sew
eral persons were referred yesterday
to the committee by authorities at the
Board of Health, and Colonel Fisher
was therefore appointed a committee
of one to arrive at an understanding
with the Board as to what the commit
tees powers were to be in this matter.
The committee having ascertained
that people, more particularly Chinese,
were going back and forth to the other
side of the Island over the difficult
pass at the head of Kalihi valley, post
ed guard there day before yesterday.
The results have shown that this was
done none too soon, as the guard have
already turned back two persons from
KoOlau and half dozen from the Ho-
nolulu side who were attempting to
cross the pass. A guard Is now main
tained at the head of the valley day
and night. They have been instructed
hereafter not to turn back anybody,
but to arrest any one attempting to
pass either way. The guards have
been armed with shotguns and in
structed to use them II necessary to
enforce their authority.
A particularly aggravated case of
extortion was brought to the attention
OF the committee yesterday. A man
in the Government employ who had
been acting as paid inspector in
Chinatown had made the round of
number of Chinese stores and levied
tribute in the way of hats, clothes,
cigars, etc. One of them finally COM
planned, and the matter was brought
home to the young man. Under fear
OF exposure and prosecution for ex-
tortion. he forthwith made payment
for all that he had taken. The COM
mittee felt, however. that further no
