FINDS THAT THERE WAS MOTH
ING IN IT.
He Visits Oahu and Honolulu Planta-
tions Suddenly and is Satisfied That
All is Well.

Rumor evaded Lieut.. Nortons Ha-
lava quarantine guard and knocking
at DR.. Woods door, gave the Pres.-
dent of the Board of Health to under
stand and be informed that plague had
broken out at Oahu plantation, AMI
that native at Aiea had suddenly
died and been buried, like Moses, no
one knew where.
DR.. Wood secured a special train on
the oahu Railway and left this morn
ing at o'clock unannounced, for those
two plantations. His arrival was a
surprise. DR.. Blake at Oahu told him
there had been one of the plantation
laborers sick but there was nothing in
his symptoms to arouse suspicion and
consequently he had not reported II,
feeling it unnecessary to burden the
Board of Health with cases that We're
not suspicious. Nevertheless, out Of
extreme caution, he had entirely iso-
lated the patient so that there could be
no possibility Of infection in any event.
Dr. Wood thoroughly investigated the
whole matter and satisfied himself
that there was no cause for suspicion.
He commended DIR. Blake for his care
in isolating the case even when there
were no suspicious symptoms.
At Aiea, DIR. Wood saw Manager
Low He found here that there had
burial at all All the natives living in
the region were looked up and account
ed for. But in order to make it abb
solutely certain that the rumor was
baseless, Mr.. Low detailed two Hawai-
ians to thoroughly investigate the mat
| ter.
DR.. Wood had conferences both with
! Manager Low and Manager Ahrens
| There are thoroughly alive to the stu
alton and in perfect harmony with the
| Board of Health. They permit none OF
the people of their plantations to come
! to Honolulu nor do they permit stran-
gers to come to the plantations MOI
! strange Japanese or Chinese laborers
| to consort with their own. To this enc
they have issued strict orders an6
maintain an active guard at their owl
expense to prevent strangers or strange
| laborers from coming, or their owl
people from wandering away.
Both managers are as anxious "a
anyone can be to prevent the plague
from getting among their employees
They told Dr. Wood that there should
be no corcealment on their part. I
any suspicious cases arose they woulC
report Immediately to the Board o
Health.
DR.. Wood expects as soon as oppor
tunity offers to make a tour of tn
ether plantations along the Oahu rail
way and expects to find the same ap
preciative helpfulness among the man
ayers of these.

WOOD CHATS A RUMOR FOR QUARANTINE WHARF
ONE ON SUMMERS REEF IS
PLANNED.
To Accommodate Clean Freight for
Other Islands-SO by 15O-Chamber Of
Commerce's Measure.

An important meeting of the Cham
Der Of Commerce was held at 10 o'clock
this morning to consider the matter of
erecting a quarantine wharf on Sum-
ner's reef on the makai side of Homo
lulu harbor The precise location is on
the tide land at the west side of the
light house at the base Of naval row.
After a great deal of discussion and
explanation it was decided to refer the
matter to a committee to report on the
questions of title and finances.
The matter was presented by John
Ena and w. NJ. Gffard, representing
the committee which had ad it in
charge Their statement of the neces-
sity of the moment was this:
People of the other islands are in need
of food supplies. There Is already dan
ger of suffering on the Island of Kauai,
and it is reported on excellent author
ity that Hilo, Hawaii, has not supplies
for two weeks more. 1t Is proposed to
erect a wharf and warehouse so by 150
on the tide land beyond the harbor for
the transshipment of freight for the ISL
ands from foreign vessels to local
steamers. Vessels arriving from San
Francisco or New York will go along
side this wharf and discharge all freight
for the other islands and then approach
the other wharves. Island steamers will
lie in the stream and take food stuffs
| and other necessary supplies from the
quarantine wharf
| Mr.. Cotton, the wharf contractor for
the United States government arrived
and presented plans for the purposed
new structure. He stated that it could
] be completed and in service in three
weeks.
The lease Of the land Iclongs to the
! Company. 1t was stated in the meeting
! that arrangements with them could
most likely be made. 1t was suggested
| that the money for the purpose be rails
ed by subscription among business men
| and that they be reimbursed later
! through wharf charges in the usual
! way.
The application of the Citizens Com
mittee for use of the Chamber for its
business was denied. 1t appeared that
the committee wanted the room for all
hours, day and night. DR.. Carmichael is
now using 1t In the forenoon for the eX-
animation of passengers for the coast
and several organizations have rent
ers rights in It. The Chamber win sug-
gest the use of the rooms in the old
Masonic building at the corner of Fort

MIR. BROWN TALKS.
a Man Much in China Has a Few
Words About the Plague.

J. w. Brown, who returned by the
Doric from China, has not a symptom
of "cold feet on account of the plague
in Honolulu. In fact he is one man who
feels absolutely no personal concern in
regard to the disease.
"I have been in cities of China where
Cinnamon were dropping down on the
main streets with plague" says Mr..
Brown. "In Canton I have walked
around dead bodies on the sidewalk to
get to my destination. In that city es-
pecially have known the disease num-
erous times to be epidemic. People
would die off by the dozens and scores
And, really, through it all, did not
notice one hundredth part of the alarm
that is daily manifest on the streets Of
Honolulu. White people in China do not
fear the plague. They know by years of
experience that they will not contract
it unless they come directly in contact
with it under circumstances immensely
favorable to the disease.
Everybody truly says that plague
is distinctly a filth disease, and yet
they will not live up to their own max
i'm. They keep clean, surely, but after
that they fret themselves into a fever
of fear The thing to do is to observe
ordinary sanitary rules, keep away
from infected houses and attend to the
ordinary routine of life in the ordinary
way"

TRAMwAYs MATTER.

Marshal Brown has informed Mana

Company, that the holes left in the
street opposite the California Fruit
Market must be filled and the roadway
put in usual good condition at once.
Yesterday Mr.. Neumann stated that he
would connect the new track with the
old at the point opposite the Gulick
premises. The reply was, simply, there
will be trouble if you try it,"

POSSIBLE 1NFANTIcIDE.

The body Of a Chinese or japanese
infant about three weeks old was found
floating i'm a pond at Waikiki near
IIobron's place. The body bears no
marks Of violence. When the matter
was reported to the police, Lieut.. Boil
mann was sent out to take charge of
It and investigate. Another officer in
addition has been detailed on the case
today. 1t is the theory of the police,
either that It is a case of infanticidc,
or that possibly it was a child who died
among the japanese on board the XII
nau when she returned last Saturday,
and the japanese fearing quarantine If
the death was discovered threw the
body overheard and it washed to where
it was found. The body was in an old
ships bag.

REPORTED TO BE BETTER THAN
YESTERDAY.
one Plague Death at the Pest House,
Block g. in Chinatown, Being Burned
This Afternoon.

TIE plague situation up to early this
afternoon was quite satisfactory, no
suspicious cases having been reported.
Mrs. Boardman, Sundays suspect pa
uent, has steadily improved She Is
now considered out Of Immediate dan
ger and there is hardly a probability of
relapse.
The Chinese woman, Wong Shee
aged 60, taken from a house on King
street near KekaulilIe, died last night
at hte pest hospital The body was
Cremated at Mauliola. During today
the japanese woman from the Arling-
ton has been no worse.
e. w. Jordan wishes it stated that
Mrs. Boardman positively did not
touch the rat found dead i'm the store
on Fort street.
TODAY'S FIRE.
Another big sanitary fire is taking
place today. Block 9, just below Kau-
makapili church is being burned. This
block is bounded by Beretania Smith,
Pauahi and Maunakea streets. Most of
the houses are two stories, although all
are in a rat-nest condition. on the
Pauahi street side is a continuation Of
shacks.
The department began on the river
side of the block and burned against
the wind. Work was slow, but very
satisfactory. The blaze was at all
times under complete control of the
department AS in the case of Block
10 houses were jammed one against the
ether all through, being separated at
/ intervals by small alley ways just
wide enough for one person.
