.A CHASE AFTER A COFFIN
A JAPANESE WHO TRIED TO HIDE
A BODY.
He and Companions Used the Coffin as
a Card Table by the Side of De-
ceased Countryman.

A Japanese with n coffin on his back
and running as fast as his legs would
carry him was seen on Monday night
in the quarantined district by Inspec-
tor Harry Juen. The Jap sped in the
darkness as though his life depended
on getting out of the way. This was
just what the inspector was looking
for and he followed the man up. He
says that the result of his efforts were
a fair sample of the sort of thing Board
of Health men have to go up against
in Chinatown.
The Jap was lost to view almost be-
fore the inspector could get up steam
to follow Juen inquired of passers by,
but they all mo sabe" till he found one
woman who thought she had seen the
fleeing Jap enter a building with his
grewsome burden. Juen entered. He
asked a Japanese about the coffin and
the supposed dead man in the build
ing.
whats the matter you? You want
dead man, you look see," was the an
swer. Going up stairs Juen found a
room in which the coffin lay On bed
a few feet away was the body of a man
with a cloth over the face. Around the
coffin were several Japanese playing
cards. They were using the coffin as a
table. They were so close, in the small
room, to the dead man, that those in
front of him could not lean back in
their seats without touching him.
"Is that man dead?' asked the health
inspector, though there did not seem 10
be much doubt about it. He was told
that the man was indeed dead and a
japanese wanted to know what was
wanted. Juen asked for a death certi-
ficate. The Japanese had one, properly
made out, by DR.. Mitumura, in whom
the Board of Health have confidence.
The dead man had succumbed to
pneumonia. There was no need of con-
cealment and the Japanese with the
coffin might just as well have walked
at funereal pace as have raced along
the street as though he dreaded inter
ception. Juen telephoned to the Boaro
as a precaution and then left the Japs
to continue the card game on the coffin

ALL SUSPECT HOUSES WILL Be
GUARANTEED.
Guards will go with Physician at Time
of tigation-Armstrong Smith in
Charge of Force.

The Board of Health has established
new department as a precau-
tionary measure and a further safe
guard to the community.
In. future when suspicious cases are
reported the suspect premises will be
Immediately quarantned. If such case
should turn out not to be plague or
other contagious disease the guard will
be withdrawn as soon as the diagnosis
is complete. In case of plague the Board
will be on the safe -side and the pubic
will be protected.
The purpose of this department is to
prevent the people of a suspect house
from leaving such premises. In the
past a suspicious case was the signal
for everybody to pack up and leave
before the diagnosis had been COM
pleted. This has been so in Chinatown
and out of it.
Armstrong Smith has been placed IN
charge of the new department and will
devote his entire time to it. He took
charge this morning A force of guards
is kept "on tap" all the time and they
go along with the call doctor when he
starts to make the investigation. When
the doctor enters the house the guard
will be placed.

CABINET TREATS FINANCE.
MEANS FOR CARRYING ON WORK
OF DEPARTMENTS
Provision in Last Appropriation Bill
For Expenditures at Same Rate Until
Another Appropriation is Made.

Most important action was taken at
the Cabinet meeting this morning. 1t
grew out of and was designed to meet
the situation which is now at hand.
The biennial period for which appro-
priations were, made by the last leg
islature has expired. The uncertainty
as to Hawaiian legislation by Congress
and when there will be another legisla
ture to make appropriations for the
period upon which the country is now
entering seemed to the cabinet to make
some consideration of the question of
money to carry on current affairs nee
| essary. After full discussion, the con-
clusion was reached that the appro-
priation bill making special appropria-
tions for the departmental use of the
government during the two years which
twill end with the 31st day of December
in the year 1899" contained ample pro-
vision to meet the conditions. This is
! Act 5S of the Session Laws of 1898,
! known as the current receipts appro-
priation bill Section provides: "It
| shall be lawful for the Minister of FL
nance to continue to make payments in
accordance with the appropriations au-
thorized by this act until the 91st day
of March, A. d. 1900, and thereafter at
the same rate until new appropria-
! tions are made"
This act appropriates for salaries and
| also for public improvements and the
| general expenditures of the depart
ments. In considering this provision it
was thought that there might be some
difference between what might be call
| ed continuing appropriations, such for
instance as appropriations for keeping
roads and bridges in repair, and such
! for instance as an appropriation for
buying a stone crusher still the Ian
| guage of the act included both, and
+. that therefore if the stone crusher for
the purchase of which an appropriation
had been made had not been purchas-
ed during the biennial period, it could
be purchased afterwards, and indeed
! that, another stone crusher could be
purchased after the period, If it were
needed. A case in point to which this
construction could be applied with pub
I lie advantage, is the Pail road. An ap-
preparation of 100000 for this was made
and has all been spent but the work
has not yet been completed 1t was
therefore decided that the work could
be continued as If there were a new
appropriation of 100000 for the purpose
In other words it was held as the opin-
ion of the Cabinet that this provision
of the appropriation bill from current
receipts was in effect a new approDria-
tion of the same amounts for the bien-
nial period now entered uDop, until
changed by another act of the legisla-
ture.
Under this construction current re-
pairs and such public improvements as
were provided for by the last legisla'
ture and are now needed may be cos.
tinued And the work on the Pail rOaC
will be continued.

TO SEPARATE OFFICES.
The Board of Health and the Attorney
Generalship.


The large amount of work imposed
on the Attorney General as an eX-officio
member of the Board of Health by the
plague, brought before the Cabinet this
morning the subject of the advisabllity
of having the two offices separate. Even
in ordinary times there is a great deal
of work devolving on the Board OF
Health, and especially upon the presl-
dent of the board. When the Attorney
General is president of the board as it
has been customary for him to be, this
work in times like the present leaves
him little time or strength for the work
of the Attorney Generals office. These
sentiments entertained by the members
of the Cabinet led them to believe in
the advisability of separating the two
offices. This will require legislation,
and in the form in which the territor-
ial bill was introduced in Congress will
require legislation at Washington No
formulated action was taken on the
subject as Attorney General Cooper
was unable to be present at the meet
ing. However If 1t meets his approval
it is quite likely that President Dole
as a member of the Hawaiian Commits
sion will forward to Washington an
amendment embodying this change and
making the office of President of the
Board of Health a salaried one.

ANOTHER FIRE TOMORROW
HOUSES ON KEKAULIKE STREET
TO BE BURNED.
Will be the Biggest Blaze Yet-Chinese
Died in the Block Last Sunday-The
People Removed.

There will be another big conhagra
ttOn in Chinatown tomorrow morning.
The district to be burned is the Eva
half of the block bounded by King,
Kekaulike, Queen and Maunakea
streets. An alley runs through the CEN
ter of the block from King to Queen
and that will be the terminus of the
fire on the town side.
The reason for the burning is the
appearance of a case of plague there
last Sunday. The case was in the green
house next door to the Hop Hing
laundry on Kekaulike street.
On the KelJaulike street side there is
about $50 feet of solid buildings, all
two stories high. They are occupied
by stores, , wash houses, etc, down
stairs and lodging establishments up
stairs. The district to be burned ex-
tends about $50 feet on King street as
we'll. Houses on that side are occupied
by small stores downstairs and lodg-
ing rooms on the second floor.
The goods from the stores were NOV
ed this morning to the c. r. Collins
warehouses near Nuuanu where they
will be fumigated tomorrow. This aft
ernoon personal effects are being re-
moved from some of the rooms on the
second llOOrs to be fumigated. Moth
ing viii be taken from the infested
house aud some goods IN the other
buildings will not be removed.
The district to be burned is the larg-
est yet set ON fire. AS alley-ways sep
arate it there is no special danger of
the fire spreading. A section of the
half block ON the makai side is occu-
pied by rpW structure, still building
which will not be burned. Occupants
oS the district have already been NOV
ed to the detention station at Kakaako

LAUNDRY THIEVES.

A widespread series of thefts OF
laundry from the Honolulu Steam
Laundry Company has been discovered
by the police, and it is believed two at
least of the gang engaged in 1t have
ben captured. The method of the gang
was to take bundles of laundry which
were delivered by the company. Very
often in making delivery owners of
laundry bundles are not at home and
the bundles have to be left in exposed
places. The operations Of the gang
consisted in following up the delivery
wagons and taking bundles thus left.
A large quantity of stolen bundles
has been recovered by David Kaapa and
Is now at the police station.
