the inspector system falls short Of the
mark in critical instances. This was
shown in the death of the Roth Chin
csc servant The man was living on
premises exemplary in every particu-
lar. 1t is foregone conclusion that he
sneaked out of his quarters contrary to
orders and mingled with friends who
had been exposed to the plague.
The only attention given the Citi-
zens' Committee regulations by the
average Asiatic seems to be a general
desire to defeat the purpose of the
rules and figure out method whereby
the regulations can be transgressed
without its being found out. This con-

ASIATIC SERVANTS.

The escapade Of Capt. Murray's ia
panese servant brings out one Of the
marked difficulties Of dealing with
Asiatics and apparently lax methods
OF sub-inspectors. In this instance the
shortcomings of the inspectors are
more apparent than real, while the at
titude Of the Asiatic is shown TO be
such as to warrant the Citizens Com
mittee declaring that Aslatics shall He-
main in their living quarters from
seven at night till five in the morning.
Although every house in the city is
visited twice each day by sub-inspec-
tors, Capt. Murrays servant was at
the house of friend" for twenty-four
hours without being located. He left
his quarters in direct opposition to the
orders Of his employer, and although
every inspector was on the watch. the
man was not located until he returned
next day. The statement Is made that
many inspectors In making their
rounds find strange Chinese and Jap
anese In the district. On being ques-
toned the stranger replies that he is
merely making call. The inspector
ia obliged to take the mans word for
it, which in the case of the average
Asiatic is worth nothing.
The practical result is that Aslatics
go and come about as they please, and

Mud at Wailuku.

Walluku, Feb. 9.-For muddy and
slippery sidewalks, Waikiki town
takes the cake. In some places mud is
nearly six inches deep, and as only
Main and Market streets are provided
with suitable sidewalks, the residents
Of the other side streets have to wade
in the mud ankle deep In order to
reach their respective places of bust
ness. While the general condition Of
the streets at the present time is
greatly deplored by everybody, especi-
ally at time when fever is prevalent
everywhere, the authorities are said to
be unable to meet the occasion for lack
Of money. On Market and Vineyard
streets it is difficult to reach the oppos-
lite side of these streets, and not Il lew
have been seen to fall in the mud while
making the attempt. The worst streets
in Honolulu during a rainy day are fine
promenades as compared with Wal
luku streets these days.

The sentiment of the committee, as
expressed by those present, practically
unanimously opposed action, be-
cause of the effect upon other nations

as to make quite certain that no afiir-

THE NEW HONOLULU.

Editor Evening Bulletln .-One Oh
the most potent factors in the creating
of the present unsanitary conditions in
Honolulu has been the large area COW
cred by our so-called blocks without
any dividing streets for the entrance
of air and sunlight. Take Block 49,
for instance: from Fort to Nuuanu and
from Hotel to Beretania it has been
crowded with business places and
cheap lodging houses and broken only
by Chaplain Lane.
With no opportunity to get into the
heart of the block to cart of accumu-
lations of refuse 1t is small wonder
that the place became pest hole and a
menace to the rest of the business
quarter
We have an opportunity now to
remedy some of the mistakes of the
past by opening up new streets through
the infected districts. Bethel street
should at once be opened from Hotel to
to the usual street width. This much
needed improvement would make
Block 10 one of the very best business
blocks in the city and ten, in large
blocks in the city and tend, in large
dition of Fort street traffic. What we
want is New Honolulu: smaller
blocks, plenty OF wide streets for air,
sunlight, drainage and traffic, and sani-
tary buildings on the new blocks thus
created.
II the authorities do not seIz1 the OPP
portunity now in their grasp to open
up these blocks it will be little short
Of criminal for in few years the en-
tire area will again be built over with
crowded stores and dwellings.
In the proposed extension of Bethel
street 1t should be remembered that
the contemplated street improvements
by the last Legislature included the
widening of Bethel street from Mer-
chant TO Hotel, thus removing a lot of
insanitary shacks from the business
center OF town and paving the way for
the erection of modern business cdifi-
ces.
II is safe 10 say that the bushes,
community is a unit in favor of the en-
tension of new streets through all of
the burnt or infected districts. The in
crease in taxable values alone would
shortly pay for al. damages resulting
from condemnation of land or i'm
provements made necessary by the
opening of new streets. There is an
object lesson to this effect in the fine
dwellings on new Vineyard street from
which the Government is deriving a
handsome revenue in water rates and
taxes, not to mention, what Is of great |
er value to any community, improved |
sanitary conditions.
Let our slogan be Small blocks, |
wide streets and sanitation" and we
can laugh at Black Death in the fu- !
ture.

curing his wife's release from Jail.

by filing a charge against her and VIII
liam Whitted, with whom she had left
her home at Momence, and paying her
fine on minor charge, took her to their
handsome home at Momenee last even
ing.
Whitted insists that the woman is his
wife and that the marriage with Lunt
a few months ago was a bigamous one.
Lunt says he intercepted letters from
Whitted in which the latter told Mrs.
Lunt to get rid of her husband by pois-
oning him. When the wife disappeared
a few days ago Lunt traced her to this
city. Whitted wanted to stand trial,
ard said that he could produce proof
that they were married in Robinson,
ILL.,, three years ago
Mrs. Lunt says that while she had
lived with Whitted for several years no
formal marriage ceremony was per-
formed. She says that Lunt was bet
ter able to provide for her than Whit
ted and she married him for that rea-
son.
