The Hawaiian who was reported dead
from plague last night was found in
a house on River street, just above
Beretunla. The history OF the case
shows that the young man had been
ailiug slightly for a day or two, and

groin. lie has been employed in one
OF the work gangs OF the Health De-
plrtment inside the quarantine district,
and worked until yesterday afternoon.
Or. Howard responded to the call, and
found a well-developed bubo in the
right groin. The body was removed to
the morgue The promises in which
the Hawaiian died were within the
district which the Board declared yes
terday was in an insanitary condition,
and condemned The property
owners were to have been notified TO
place the property in sanitary con-
lition. but the death of the Hawaiian
will change the situation and the en-
ire promises will undoubtedly be
wiped out by fire.
1t is stated that the infection in this
'ase can be traced directly to Ahi's
place on Nuuanu street Ahi moved

ly and most of his household goods
we're moved into the house in which
kapah died last night. Ali and his
'amily are now in one of the detention
amps. Therefore the logical conciu
sion has been reached that the infec-
ion was not picked up during the
mans work, but came from contact
with infected persons or goods from
Ahi's notorious filth-hole.
A death occurred on Monday after
noon. that of Chinese woman named
Wong She, aged 63 years, who was re-
ported suspicious case to the Board
of Health Sunday evening. She came
from King street, near River The
woman was too old and weak to be re-
moved to the pest hospital, and she
was therefore guarded in the house.
The death was recorded in the even
ing, but telephone Inquiries at the
Health Department from this office
elected a misleading response. At mid
night the physician who had attended
Mt the death of the woman, answered
the same telephone inquiry with the re-
Spouse that there had been no deaths
during the day, thus baking the Ad-
yertiser in the publication of an impor-
tant piece OF news The Board of
Health was in no wise to blame for the
which was due to one of the
staff physicians, who is said to be col

him more anon.
No suspicious cases have been report
ed to the Board since that of the Jap
anese woman at the Arlington Hotel
who is announced as being in the same
as when removed to the hos
pital.
