PLAN TO INCREASE
UNCLE SANS ARMY
Proposal to Have a Minimum
Strength Of Fifty
Thousand.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Accord!ng TO
the Tribune. virtual agreement upon
the essential features of proposed legis-
lation for the army was reached last
night by War Department officials
with the Presidents approval and that
of the Congressional leaders. 1t pro-
vides for n permanent standing army
organization with minimum strength
of sc, 1000 men, to be increased as occa-
sion demands by doubling the size Of
companies in the discretion of the Pres
ident az commander-in-ch and sub
ject to the Limitation of annual appro-
priations. The new line organization
will provide sufficient officers, about
900 in excess of those at present in
the regular establishments. to meet the
requirements of companies OF seventy
men each. These companies may be in
creased to 40 men each without addi-
tional officers. Permanent allowances
will be made for $4,000 artillerymen in
egimental organization. who are need
d to care for the coast defenses.
The trainers OF the adopted plan ia
vor empowering the President to enlist
natives in the Philippines not to exceed
Ii, 900 men, as needed. to be organized
in regiments with American officers
after the English manner of fighting
rebellious natives with their people
Gen. Macarthur has urged this step
and gives assurances that he can cas-
lily select experienced officers from the
volunteers in his division and will have
no difficulty in getting desirable enlist
ments for an efficient and loyal native
contingent similar to the Macabebe
cavalry, now 500 strong.
The new permanent organization, So
900 strong, Is confidently believed to be
insured. not doubt being expressed
by War Department officials and Con-
gressional leaders that the House and
Senate are prepared to agree promptly
to the new military basis AS to the
elastic features involving the discre-
tionary power of the President to in
crease the size of companies to not
more than double their strength there

Waiohinu. Kau. November

Waiohnu. Kau. November 20.
Editor Advertiser: / have read the
article. mo Lepers for Hawaii" ty Mr..
w. o. Smith, and published in your Is
sue of November 15
/ fully agree with Mr.. Smith in his
opinions contained in the said article
and sincerely hope that all who are in
terested in the welfare of these Islands
Will take a firm stand against the in
PRODUCTION of lepers from the Mainland
to Hawaii.
In my opinion II seems preposterous
that such an idea should ever have en-
tered the minds OF enlightened people
throughout the United States.
Why should those poor unfortunates
who may be suspected of having con-
tracted this dreadful disease be- ieport-
ed from their own homes to n strange
land, where, far from their dearest
friends and relatives, they are left to
pass their remaining years in what, to
them. might be called a miserable ex-
istence? Would those who might be
sent here willingly obey ana submit to
the rules and regulations laid down for
them? Is 1t not natural to suppose that
after living in a country where every
enjoyment and everything necessary
could be procured to make life a source
of pleasure that their minds would re-
volt against the idea OF being isolated
strange to them?
The language. society and other in
fiuences would certainly make life dis
tasteful to them, and perhaps be
source OF creating to some degree diff
culties which might prove detrimental
o the Government of these Islands, md
the welfare OF the public In general.
Let us hope that the Federal Govern
ment will seriously reflect before TAX
ing such an unwise step.
AS Mr.. Smith suggests. why does not
each State throughout the Union pro-
vide proper places for Its lepers, where
the localities to some extent may be
made attractive to them and where
particularly they may have the pleas
ure of seeing from time to time those
most dear to them, and whose presence
would certainly have that consoling eff
feet from which. II sent TO these ISL
ands they would be forever debarred.

ALFRED HALDER BURIED.
Died From the Injuries Received in
a Fall on Molekai,

The funeral of Alfred Halder who
died at the Queens Hospital Monday
evening. was held yesterday afternoon
at o'clock. The deceased was badly
mangled by the fall of n derrick pole at
Kaunakakai, Molokai, on Friday while
he was engaged in loosening guy rope
at the top. He was brought to Homo
lulu on the steamer Noeau and attend
ed by DR.. Walter Hoffman.
He was a German by birth. but a
natura1ized American citizen, and aged
about 81 years. He leaves u widow.
He came to Honolulu about the time
the plague broke out and secured en-
ployment as guard. His ability. how
ever. was such that he was sent to the
mitigating station next Kaumakapili
church by Alfred w. Carter, who was
then in charge of the guards. He was
put to work in the fumigating depart
ment and proved capable worker
1t was due to his sharp lookout that
much of the property stored in and
about the church was not stolen. After
his services were through with as an
employee of the Board OF Health he Sc
cured employment with the Wilder
Steamship Company on the steamer
Helene where he had n billet as mate.
His wife came here in June. He was
then employed by Cation & Neill.
The McBryde Plantation Company
employed the deceased lately to unrig
the mill at the American Sugar planta-
ton. now defunct. In his fall from the
topmast of the sixty-foot pole his skull
was fractured, both legs broken and
his collar bone fractured. His wife was
in constant attendance on him until the

ELECTION INSPECTORS.
They Have Tried the Patience Of
Government Officials,


At the next election the Government
officials are in hopes that the election
inspectors will understand their bust
ness more thoroughly. especially where
it relates to the sending of the official
returns direct to the secretary of the
Territory, instead Of sealing them up
with the ballots. Such a procedure
on the part Of quite a number of in
spectors who evidently wanted to save
postage, has caused no end of trouble
for Governor Dole and Secretary Coop
err and Bob" Wilcox. The delegate
elect was on pins and needles for
nearly two weeks, fearing that he
would have to leave for Washington
without carrying his credentials with
him.
The latest freak in this direction
came to the attention of Secretary
Cooper yesterday, when he received a
letter from an inspector on Hawaii
saying that his election expenses had
been sealed up in the same package
with the ballots. He was getting anX-
ious about the expenses, and asked the
secretary to do something about it.
The only plan to be pursued under
the circumstances Is to take the bun
die containing the ballots for the in
spector's election district, before one
of the Supreme Court justices and
have 1t opened in his presence. The
expense account can then be removed
and the ballots again sealed up before
the eyes of the court.
The inspectors are learning, but the
patience of the Government officials
has been sorely tried.

ONCE WIFE OF
SENIOR CANAVARRO
Is Now q Buddhist Nun Known
as Sister Sangha-
militia.
A LEPER DEPoRTED.

The Chronicle of November 2Sth
contains the following of local inter-
est:
When the Nippon Maru came into
port yesterday she brought among
her first-class passengers the Budd-
hist nun, Sister Sanghamitta, who is
none other than the Countess de Ca
navarro, wife of the one-time Minis
ter from Portugal to the Hawaiian
Islands, formerly the wife Of the late
Samuel G. Bates of this city. Before
that she was Miss Miranda McElroy,
daughter of the late Major McElroy
She was born in Texas, but reared in
Mexico and California.
With some ceremony and wide
spread talk the countess entered the
sisterhood in New York in Septem-
ber 1897, Dharmapala, the Buddhist
priest, officiating. At the time her
Theosophical friends regretted her
course, as they felt that in joining any
religious order she was narrowing her
views. They further claimed that in
leaving her husband and thirteen
year-old son she was acting contrary
to the Theosophical teaching which
holds that no man or woman should
renounce early obligations for life
OF asceticism.
The countess, who is brilliant
woman of striking appearance, was
obdurate and renowned the world,
taking first the two-year vows, and
last year she pledged all her life to
Buddhist missionary work. About a
year ago she wrote to friends in this
country for money, and 1t was suppos-
ed that she was not happy and would
return home. On the contrary, she
had come to this country for a year
in the interest of the Maha Bodhi So
ciety, which aims to give out the true
teachings of Buddha. In speaking of
her life Sister Sanghamitta said:
II became nun because / wanted
to give up the material interests of
this life, and felt sure that l could
serve humanity in no better way than
by working for the betterment of con-
ditions among the women OF the ORR
ent and by translating the philosophy
of Buddha. Since | have been in Cey-
Ion ] have organized some converts
and translated the Abhidhamma,
which Is really the psychology OF the
teachings of Buddha, shall lecture
during my year in this country, and
on my return will go to Bud Gaya,
where the Oldest Buddhist temple
stands. During the two hours we
stopped at Honolulu l had my son
with me and / was delighted to see
him. He Is now nearly 16 years OF
age and preparing for college. His
father is not at all in sympathy with
my views and ! did not know wheth-
er or not he would let my son come to

SENT BY

Queer Story About the
Leper Pratt,
WAS TO CURE A SUSPECT
Brought Medicines to Try on
Thirty-thrd Degree Mason
Now in Kalihi.

The Chronicle of November % has the
following statement relative to George
Pratt. the leper who came by the steam
er China and is now under surveillance
at Quarantine Island in the care of the
Federal quarantine officials.
A LEPER DEPORTED.
George Pepolow. "a lcper who has been
an inmate of the leper hospital on
Twenty sixth street. has been deported
by the Board of Health to the Hawaii
an Islands. AS the steamship compa-
mics will not ship any lepers from the
islands. Pepolow will be sent to the
leper colony at Molokai. He was sent
away at his own request, certain per-
sons contributing the necessary funds.
That Pratt was sent away from San
Francisco at his own request seems
plausible enough when the facts of his
coming to Honolulu are told.
1t Is stated on excellent authority
that Pratt came to Honolulu at the in
stigation of the Masonic Grand Lodge
OF Washington, d. c.. for the specific
purpose Of attempting the cure of an
alleged leper who was supposed to be
on Molokai. The patient whom Pratt
was to get into communication with
and who knew of his coming, is a Ma
judged by the examining board as be-
ing leper there were extenuating cir
cumstances in his case which at best
were such as to cause others to believe
that 1t was merely suspicious The man
is not at Molokai. but at the Kalihi Re-
ceiving Station. Pratt, however, did
not know this. and therefore made a
very bad break upon landing by an
nouncing that he was leper and want
ed to go to Molokai. Had he kept his
mouth closed, 1t is thought that a por-
ton of his mission would have been
successful.
Correspondence is said to have been
passing between the friends of the al
legged Mason leper and the Grand Lodge
at Washington. The result was that
the Grand Lodge had settled upon the
Sc nding of DIR. Mitchell to Honolulu.
DR.. Mitchell, however, was unable 10
shape his business interests at the time,
and Pratt, the leper, who claimed he
had arrested his own disease. was de-
cided upon as the one to undertake the
cure Of the local Mason by the use of
the medicine in the possession of Frat.
Pratt has met the Mason he came to
cure. He met him at Kalihi. He ad-
mitted to the Mason that he made
bad break here and that his chances
for assisting the brother Mason would
be slim indeed.
