CHAIL Punahou become a college
- institution This Is the question
which the president and trustees
of the famous Island institution of
learning put to the alumni Of Punahou
last evening. The alumni was called to
attend a quarterly meeting but few re-
sponded TO the invitation.
The chief interest Of the meeting lay
In an address by President Arthur
Maxson Smith upon the present con-
ditions Of the school and its future.
TIe has made n study OF the future OF
the school and has become thoroughly
lmbued with the idea Of transforming
Punahou into a college for the study OF
the highest branches OF learning and
a worthy competitor OF many OF the
famous colleges In the states.
The climate. the record OF the insti-
tuition In the past decades, its hold
irRs of property and above all the
artistic grouping OF appropriate build
ings are all conducive To the establish
ment OF n college In the Hawaiian Is
lands which the president firmly De-
lleves will have among its students
vounr men and women from all parts
OF the United states, even. as he says
many Of the colleges In the Southern
states are In reality supported by the
students who come from the North.

without being compelled to. l do not
blame the Federal quarantine officials
for Pratt's entry. But it is a fact that
he escaped their vision. We should
hold Pratt and send him back as soon
as possible if he will go willingly.

Treasury Department in Washington

board, asked if the doctor on the China
had discovered Pratt's condition on

and said he saw the man on the trip
but did not notice anything out of the
ordinary with him except that he was
a cripple.
DR.. Carmichael said that he was will
ing to have the man detained at the
quarantine station at the boards pleas
ure.
After some discussion as to the best
way to proceed it was agreed to re-
move Pratt at once to the Kalihi sta
ton and there have him examined
this morning by the board appointed
for that purpose, consisting of five ply
sicians and also to have Bacteriologist
Hoffman, make a microscopic examin-
alton.
DR.. Carmichael said he would be will
ing to take the boards findings in the
matter and if Pratt was declared
leper to send him to San Francisco

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

Mr.. Judd then introduced President
Smith, who began his address by
touching upon the esprit de corps
which had manifested itself to him up
on his arrival. He spoke in part as
follows:
II have been requested to speak par
ticularly with reference to the plans
outlined by the trustees for the future.
Before doing that / would like to say
something of the inner workings os

uncomplimentary to the students but

the school opened last September there

insincerity among the students. Prob

of the situation, l think, perhaps. the
spirit of insincerity may have taken

Smith replied that the Board of

he could never get away. He advised
him to return at once to San Francis

ally at Smiths direction went to the
office of Executive officer Pratt of the
Board of Health. Smith telephoned to
Sheriff Brown the leper's call.
To DR.. Pratt, Leper Pratt said about
what he did to Smith. When the man

pose. The members of the Board of

President Smith was somewhat mod

Visitor To China
FiShed From
HarbOr.

AS the steamship China was getting
away from the Pacific Mail wharf for
Yokohama about 10:30 o'clock last
night a man made a jump from the
forward port. which was just being
closed, and fell into the water. There
was the usual excitement occasioned
by the steamers departure and the ac-
cident was at first not taken any no.
tice of. Not until a couple Of natives
on the wharf called out that there was
man drowning did anybody realize
what had happened.
Without waiting for the lowering Of
a boat or any other action on the part
of the people on the China, one of-the
native men who had witnessed the at
fair jumped into the water after the.
| individual, who had just disappeared
beneath the surface. A little crowd
collected on the edge of the wharf and
watched developments with lively in
terest. The native man dived and
swan around for a few moments and
then went under the wharf, shortly
afterward crying out that he had found
the man who was supposed to have
been drowned. since he was not seen to
come to the surface again after he had
/ fallen from the ship. With the help Of
other natives on the wharf the fright
ened and shivering man was fished out
of the water and landed on the wharf,
where he Immediately made grab for
| bag, which had tumbled on the
wharf when he made his reckless jump
from the vessel. He rushed through
the little crowd Of natives which had
gathered around and into hack which
happened to be waiting outside the
main gate and was hurried away up
town, without so much as stopping to
thank the native who had rescued him
or even to give his name to the many
curious people who were wondering
what it was all about.
INQUIRIES were made by an Advertis-
er reporter of the native who rescued
1.-THE man, and also Of others who were
lon the wharf when this incident oc-
lcurred. 1t seems that the man was
aboard the China just before she sail
ed. calling on some friends on the ves-
sel. He did not know that the boat
was about to get away, and when at
last he went on deck to go ashore by
1.-THE gangway, he found that the gang
way had been taken ashore. and that
lbe was likely to have to wait and go
lashore in the pilot boat. Somebody
must have told him that there was a
lchance of getting ashore from the port
(which was still open. At any rate he
appeared at the open port a moment
later. and the next minute he had

Pratt's hands and feet are fearfully
mutilated by the amputation of several
of his fingers and most of his toes but
the wounds are all healed and he is
robust and strong. DR.. Emerson who
examined Pratt, said he noted an alb
sorption of several bones of the fingers
ard a brown patch on the left arm.
The nose was also affected and several
other portions of the body were marked
suspiciously
When the Board of Health met DR..
Carmichael and DR.. Amesse, Federal
were present besides Members Dole,
Smith, Winston and Cooper.
Chairman Smith at the outset ex-
pialned now the matter came to his
attention through Pratt's visit.
superintendent Reynolds of the Leper
Settlement said that Pratt had in
formed him that he started for Hawaii
with the appreciation of the San Fran
cisco Board of Health.
Attorney General Dole, a member OF
the board, remarked that while he was
not prepared to state the Territorial
law in the case, he believed it the duty
of the Territory to oppose in every way
the mans remaining here.

from my conversation with the mar
