the finest ship OF her kind in the
world.
The trip from Nagasaki to this port
has been anything but a pleasant one.

DETERMINED SUICIDE.
Young Japanese at Kalihi Camp
strangles Himself.

The first suicide in a detention
camp took place yesterday morning in
the hospital of the Kalihi camp. A
young japanese strangled himself to
death by placing a slip-noose about his
neck and throwing the end OF the rope
over a nail which projected from one
Of the rafters. When discovered by
his nurse, the Japanese was dead.
In order to clear his body from the
floor the determined man had to draw
his feet up, and even then his knees
almost rested on the boards. He was
quite dead when the nurse entered the
room, and nothing could be done to
resuscitate him. The patient occupied
a room by himself and no one was near
at the time of his suicide.

Against a Steam Laundry.

The proposal to build a steam laun-
dry on lot OF John Ena's at Waikiki
has aroused some of the owners Of res
idence property there, and they have
circulated a petition against it. They
show that the laundry would be a
nuisance and as such would depreciate
the value of surrounding estates. 1t
is understood the matter will come be-
fore the Board Of Health today.

When The Cars May Run.

The matter of the Hawaiian Tram
ways Company was brought up by a
request of the manager OF that COM
pany that he be furnished with a copy
Of the order which directs the company
to place its cars in a sanitary condi-
ton; also copy of Mr. Lydeckers S re-
port on their condition.
Upon motion of Mr. Hatch the Board
adopted the following resolution:
THAT all street cars, 'busses and pub
lie conveyances shall be thoroughly
washed and disinfected daily.. and the
same to be thoroughly busted out at
the end of each trip" The resolution
was ordered published.
Also the Board adopted the motion,
That all street cars and buses be al
lowed to resume trafic upon It being
shown that the same have been render
eu ciean and sanitary"
Mr.. Pain will also be notified that as
soon as his street cars are put in a sani-
tary condition they will be allowed 20
be placed on their regular runs again.
About Garbage.
DR.. Emerson brought up the matter
OF the disposition OF garbage at present
being towed out to sea ne said that
upon returning from a steamer lately,
he noticed the steamer kaena just out
side the harbor taking out the usual
load OF rubbish which was towed bare
ly one-third of a mile beyond the har-
Dor entrance, a condition which he con-
sidered highly reprehensible. The
Board he said had a special agent
aboard the steamer whose duty II was
TO see that the scOws were towed out
10 a great distance from the entrance
OF the harbOr. on account OF so much
Of 1t floating back into the harbor
lately.
President Wood said he had been
told the garbage scows were towed al
most out OF sight of the harbor by the
steamer. His instructions were that
the scows should be towed beyond Wal
anae. IL it should prove necessary in or
der TO prevent the refuse from drifting
back. The President made himself a
special committee to look into the
matter.
Minister Mott-Smith introduced some

The Driilshed INN ates.

Nr. Cooper brought up the question
of the inmates of the drillshed camp
and asked what disposition was. to be
made of them, whether they were to
be allowed to serve out their full if
teen days quarantine at the drillshed
or go TO Kalihi and there begin a new
fifteen days quarantine?
President Wood replied that if the
spirit of the quarantine regulation was
to he carried out. the Japanese under
Mr.. CoOpeT's care should be sent TO
Kalihi, go through a fumigation, leave
their old clothes behind them, put on
new ones, and then commence the new
quarantine.
Mr.. Cooper said he understood that
the drillshed was a special detention
camp. and felt that it would be a
hardship upon the people to add fifteen
days to the ten days which they had
already undergone in quarantine.
The President stated he had been
a>sA iting accommodations at Kalihi
4, these japanese. and had not con-
s.fered for a moment that they were
ina regular quarantine at the drill
shed. but had merely been segregated
for the time being. Quarantine. as
President Wood understands it, COM
mences when all the clothing and eff
fects of the owners are left behind,
and entirely new raiment put on. after
the necessary fumigating processes
have been carried out
IL was finally agreed that a seven
days quarantine would be added after
the japanese were removed to the Ka-
lihi camp, which will take place in two
or three days.
Application for the use of the fences
now being erected around the burned
district as a means of advertising was
made by Mr.. r. l.. Scott. The applica-
ton was refused.
Application for the painting contract
of the Kawaiahao Church interior was

advisable.

Religious FaDatiCjsm.

A dispatch from Apaldoorn, Hol-

tragedy arising out Of religious fam
atheism. There exists in the neighbor-
hood peculiar sect. and its members
decided to offer up a sacrifice to God
preceded by a service Of praise. In
which two young girls led the singing,
While the service was proceeding, one
OF the congre gation, peasant farmer,
seized his woman servant and killed
her. following this up by numbering
the two girls and his wife The wor-
shippers made no attempt whatever to
interfere with the flendish work and
even gazed calmly on while the muir
derer washed his hands in the blood OF
his victims. He has since been ar
rested by the police.

chief Items was some twentyyear-old
brandy that cost Mr. Broadwater q
fabulous price and regarding which he
spoke with much enthusiasm. At the
wind-up Of the feast coffee and Rogue
fort cheese were brought in. though the
latter was not commonly down on
Montana menus at that period. Sit
ting near the host was one Of his spe-
cial friends, who, after cycling the
Roouefort a trine suspiciously, tasted
It, made a wry face and showed his
plate to one side. You don't seem to
