AT TER REPORT
Kalihi Camp a Bone of
Contention.
L. b. Wilson and Thomas G. Clark
Say Superintendent Mcveigh
Painted False Conditions.
Honolulu, April % 1900

Honolulu, April 20, 1900.
Editor Advertiser: Will you kindly
allow me space to publish the enclosed
letter written by Thos. G. Clark. who
was a trusted subordinate during the
plague trouble at Kalihi detention
camp. | ask you the use of your space
for this purpose because you have seen
mt to publish in your issue of the 21st
inst. an alleged report of Mr.. ]. ID.
McVeigh. who for reasons unknown TO
me has made accusations against me
which he cannot substantiate and
places me in very false light before
the public.
l think Mr.. McVeigh must have TAX
en- his course in a moment when his
nerves and generally common good
sense were not under his control.
when he publicly and in an official
document makes assertions which are
uncalled for and can be stamped as
venomous perversions of truth and ma
licious presentations of facts. AZ the
publishing of a review of the full re-
port in detail would demand more
space than | can ask you for, / think
that the publication of Mr.. Clark's let
ter will answer some of the principal
points of Mr.. McVeigh's report, to
which i, at future date, will give
some further attention, as | consider
that his report Is an insult, not alone
to the camp physician and myself. but
to the members of the Citizens SAM
tary Committee as well as to the Min
lister of the Interior, who accepted the
site and plans of the camp.
c. b. WILSON,
Ex-Supt. and Constructor. Kalihi De-
tention Camp.
The following is the letter referred
to:
Honolulu, II. l., April q, 1900
Mr.. c. Il. Wilson.
Dear Sir: / beg to call your atten-
ton to the report of Mr.. j. ID. Me-
Weigh on Kalihi detention camp. as
published in today's Pacific CONNER
cial Advertiser.
| consider the entire report a tissue
o. falsehood and an aspersion of every
man who had any connection in any
capacity with the construction of said
camp.
In this report he uses your pame
freely, and boldly states that your eff
forts were useless; that you were de-
void of ability, executive, constructive
or otherwise.
The Minister OF the Interior, Mr.
Young, also Messrs. Thurston, Ken
nedy, Ripley, McCandless and a num-
Der of gentlemen who visited the
camp, can vouch for the fact that work
was pushed; in fact rushed with the
utmost vigor from start to finish, Sun
days and weekdays alike. The sound
of the hammer and the saw never
ceased, men were driven and watched
and bounded like slaves, money was
poured out like water. Yet it was
found impossible to convert a wilder
ness into a modern city with sewerage,
water, light and other sanitary conve-
niences in the short space of fourteen
days. Mr.. McVeigh claims to have
been appointed superintendent on the
10Th day of January. Work commenc-
ed on the morning of the 5th of Janu-
airy in a wild forest. On the morning
of the 10Th there were eighteen houses
with the roofs on, but in no single in
stance finished. Some lacked bat
tens, others windows and still others

GEAR HAS HIS SAY.
Tells San Francisco Reporters About
Hawaiian Affairs.

George d. Gear, one of Honolulu's
leading lawyers, is at the Palace, says
the Call. He says the people of Ho-
Eolulu have become exceedingly impa-
tient and angry over the Health
Boards prolonged continuance OF the
much of the 100000 used in one way
and another by the Board since the
appearance of the plague has been
squandered.
The quarantining of young Levy,
whose father is Rabbi Levy of this
city continued Mr.. Gear, lis general
ly considered an outrage. He had
pneumonia instead of bubonic plague.
and he was improving when / left
there. about ten days ago. Some of
the doctors admitted they could not
distinguish the difference between
pneumonia and the plague. The truth
of the matter is that there has been
no competent expert at Honolulu to
direct the quarantine. Owners OF the
S1.OOO,OO of property destroyed by the
Board as a quarantine measure will in
my opinion never get reimbursed.
Dole requested President Mckinney to
authorize the appointment of a Court
of Claims TO pass upon the value OF the
destroyed property. The members of
the Court have been appointed. As far
as 1 am able to see, the Court has no
legal standing.
What about politics in the Islands?
The Americans down there want the
franchise given to the natives. Dole
and his set do not want the natives to
vote. With the natives voting with
the American element, those in power
now would soon be relegated to pri-
yate life. The opinion prevails that
Harold NJ. Sewall. who is McKinley's
special agent at Honolulu, is to be the
first Governor of Hawaii. 1t would be
a strong and popular appointment"

were no sanitary arrangements COM
pleted on above date, January 18TH,
1900, but these conditions existed not
from neglect and wilful ignorance, as
set forth in this report of Mr.. j. ID. Nc
Weigh, but through the utter inaoillty
TO do in fourteen days what would re-
quire under normal conditions SIX
months time. My connection with the
camp being purely in a constructive
capacity, | have no comment to make
on his other remarks pertaining TO the
Japs running the camp, and OF his
finding no discipline therein. But | do
have a comment to make as TO his
sanitary police" Mr.. McVeigh says
he found Kalihi camp in an insanitary
condition January 18th, and he left Ii
in a worse condition April 10th, 1900,
from a sanitary standpoint, than he
found 1t January 18th, 1900.
II Mr.. J. ID. McVeigh were given
900 sanitary police" and one years
time he could not produce the condi-
lions he claims to have brought about
by a paltry handful of sanitary po-
lice" in few days.
The only way it could be made sani-
tary would be to remove the present
houses (burn them), start at the foun-
dalton, put in underground sewers.
connecting all closets and wash houses
with proper traps, etc. However, sani-
tation has nothing to do with his de-
liberate, intentional vilifying of men
who spent their time and their money
in a commendable effort to house the
plague and fire-stricken people of Chi
natown.
Very truly. THOS. G. CLARK.

ESQUIRE" CARL LEAVES COUNTY
Old Resident Of Biakesburs to Live in
the West

Old Resident of Biakesburg to Live in
the West.
Daniel Carl, of Blakesburg, one of
Wapello county's oldest and most
highly respected citizens, departed
this morning for Denver, Colorado,
where he will in the future make his
home. Squire" Carl, as he is known
to every man, woman and child in
Blakesburg, and to many others thru
out the county, has been a resident of
Adams township for the past fifty-six
years, and turnout his long career he
has always been one of the most pro-
minent men there, as well as one of
the most highly respected ones.
He was for thirty-five years justice
of the peace and during all that time
he did his duty as an officer of the
law with justice and impartiality.
Probably no other man in Wapello
county has better record for homes
ty and justice than he. The number
of his friends is limited only by the
number of his acquaintance, and it
was with feeling Of deep regret that
his fellow townsmen parted with him
when he started on his trip to his new
home.
AS a testimonial of the high regard
his friends in Adams township have
for Squire Carl, a number of them yes
terday presented him with beautiful
gold cane, on which are en-
graved his initials, and he left Blakes-
burg with the hearty good wishes of
his many friends. In order that he
should be safely started on his journ-
ey Frank Hardy, of Blakesburg, came
to Ottumwa with the old gentleman
and accompanied him to the train.
Mr.. Carl will reside in the future
with his daughter, Mrs. Lucia Hull, at
Barnum, a suburb of Denver.
