The discussion Of the Sunday
ball question has not been in vain,
even If next Sundays game comes
off as scheduled. There has,
through the recent agitation, been
aroused healthy public senti-
ment against sabbath desecration
in general. There are many
other forms of sabbath breaking
beside ball playing and it is now
definitely known that there are
many good people in Vlnita who
are annoyed by the reckless disre-
gard Of the Lords day exemplitied
throughout our city and country.
There are many excellent people
who unthoughtedly lend their en-
couragement to sabbath desecra-
ton, but since the discussion these
people cannot fail to realize that
they are trampling upon the feel
ings and setting at naught the
wishes Of many Of their best

PLAGUE APPEARS ON MAUI CABINET 70 THE RESCUE.
WILL TRY TO PROVIDE FOR THE
HOMELESS.
Council of State to be Asked Tomor-
row for $1O,OOO-Camp on Vineyard
Beyond the Bridge.

The Cabinet has decided to take the
bull by the horns in the matter of af-
tordtng relief to the homeless japanese
and Chinese. At the meeting this morn
ing it was discussed in it's various
phases.
Opinion was finally centered upon the
choice of the location on the extension
of Vineyard street beyond the river.
There is ample ground in this locality,
1t is higher and healthier than Ka-
kaako and suits the convenience of the
people themselves better, so it is under
stood.
1t was decided to call the Council OF
State together and ask it for the fur
ther sum of $4,000 for the completion
and maintenance of the camp. The
intention was that the meeting should
be held this afternoon, but Mr.. Bolte
and some other members could not be
gotten, so that a postpcnement to some
hour tomorrow was necessary.
President Dole stated that the OBJ
ject of the camp was to furnish shell
ter for the homeless until they could be
provided for in some other way or be
able to shift for themselves. He
thinks the Council of State has the
power to make the appropriation.

NO REST FOR All MAN.

EDITOR starr should be glad to
allow Ah Mans movements to rest in
peace If they did not apparently fur
nish preteXt for some busy-body to
try to pick flaws in the work of the
sub inspectors, men who are doing their
best, at considerable personal sacri-
fce, to keep up their arduous work.
L did not think it necessary to ex-
plain why All Man was not seen by a
sub-inspector at the Mclean premises,
because / did not think that any one
with the Ignorance of TX. Y. H." on
the subject would rush into the pup
lie prints to inquire The reason is
that the Mclean premises are on Nuu-
anu street and within the quarantined
district, which until January 9th was
within the exclusive Jurisdiction of the
Board of Health and not inspected by
the Citizens Sanitary Committee at all
1t was only after DR.. Wood had salts
fled himself that All Man had been con-
cealed in the Mclean premises for
three days that the Citizens Sanitary
Committee was requested to undertake
the inspection of the quarantined dis
trict.
The criticism of the men of the Pan.
theon saloon shows equal ignorance OF
the facts in the case. All Man was
taken sick on Monday night and his
employers instead of "hustling him of
the place" promptly sent for DR.. Hoff
man, and did not allow All Man to leav,
until DR.. Hoffman had examined hin
and pronounced positively that he die
not have the plague.

PALANA PUMPING PLANT.
THE BIDS OPEN BUT ARE NOT
SATISFACTORY.
Figures Entirely too High-Nearly
Three Times Cost of Beretania sta
tion-Hoffman's Conditions

Minister Young opened bids at noon
for the pumping station in Kalihi and
Immediately thereafter the matter got
a serious set back. When the tenders
were all opened Superintendent Rowell
stated that he was disappointed in the
figures as they were far beyond the
appropriation. The station on Bere-
tania street had cost $4,000, whereas
the lowest tender submitted today was
over $4,000, or nearly three times as
much. 1t was the superintendent s
oponion that the houses should have
cost about the same money.
In submitting his bid Victor Hoffman
wanted it understood that the money
was in sight and that the appropria-
tion would not lapse before the job was
finished. A smile went round at this
but Mr. Hoffman now has a contract
on his hand--the Beretania school
house-tied up in just that way which
makes it a rather serious outlook. Mr..
Young observed, in relation to this mat
ter, that the money would really run
out March 81 and provision for finishing
the contract would have to be made
by the legislature. The bids were as
follows:
Barry and Mcclellan, $44,9S9, $41. .444
and $42, $780, Henry Burrows, S34, ,099,
$34,949 and 34,131; L. d. Davis & Co.,
| S39, S65, S39 900, and $3.50; ]. F. Bow
Ter, $43,675, SAG, 1886 and $4O,74 all of
Kaimuki stone; with Palama stone
about $4,000 cheaper. Fred Harrison
S74,3OO, on first specification only; Lucas
| Bros, $40, ,526, $4717 and $45, ,2S3: Victor
Hoffman, 3,799, $44, 1873 and Al, ,199. The
terms in regard to stone are the same
as Bowler's bid.

FEED THE RATS.

Will E. Fisher, Inspector of the Ke-
walo district has made a suggestion to
the Sanitary Committee, which it ap-
proves, relative to rats.
He states that professional rat
catchers always place food for several
days on the spots where they intend
to place poison. On the third or fourth
night, having gained the confidence of
the rats, poison is placed where the
food has previously been and gets In
it's deadly work without frightening the
others away whereas if poison is placed
at the beginning and a rat dies from its
effects, all the other rats will give the
poison a wide berth Mr.. Fisher has
gone in the rat feeding business and
other inspectors and citizens generally
are urged to do the same

Armstrong SMITH SICK
POSSIBLE THAT HE HAS THE
PLAGUE.
Fever Developed Yesterday-Being
Treated With serum-Patlent is Man
ager of Pest Hospital.

Local plague interest is today center
ed in Armstrong Smith who was taken
i'll yesterday at the pest hospital in Ka-
kaako.
This afternoon it is believed that Mr..
Smiths case is a suspicious one and
may develop into plague, although the
patient is apparently better and bright
er than last night. At midnight his
temperature was 100 and pulse 9S.
Early this morning treatment with
the plague serum began. Thus the dis
was caught in the bud, if it be plague,
and it is thought that recovery will be
certain and rapid.
Mr.. Smith is manager of the pest
hospital He went into it soon after
the transfer of patients to the shooting
booths and has handled every person
admitted to the place since. Certainly
it was a most exposed position to occu-
py and it is not remarkable If the case
should develop into mild plague.
K. Kamii, Japanese, aged "a, was TAX
en- from Wilson's camp at $3.50 last
night to the pest house, with symp-
toms of plague. He is still regarded
today as suspicious. The man was
working with Wilson on the sea end
of the sewerage system.
ONE PLAGUE CASE.
DIR. Davis this morning reported to
| the Board of Health that in his opinion
the Chinese boy, All Choy, Queen street
| beyond South aged 18 months was
afflicted with plague. During the night
the swelling in the glands had greatly
| increased and become sensitive. Tenn
perature had also risen. "I do not
know what kept the child alive during
the night" added DR.. Davis, "for the
| swelling alone was enough to kill it."
| This case has been watched since
| yesterday morning. The femoral gland
was distended when first examination
and there was some fever AS the pre-.
misses have been thoroughly quaran-
! tined from the first the patient was
not removed to the pest house.
An autopsy was held Saturday after.
noon on the badly of Aluli, native aget
35, brought from Kalihi. This case wa,
reported by G. Hagen. When the doc
tor arrived at the house the man wa.
dead. There were suspicious circum
stances and the usual precautions havt
been taken, pending ARCHAEOLOGICAL de
termination of the cause of death. TIL,
body has been cremated at Mauliola.
Matsuge Hirano, Japanese female
aged one month, died at the relief cam
on Punchbowl street Saturday after
noon Dr. Mori returned a verdict O
meningitis as the cause of death.
Post mortem was held on the body o
A. G. Silva, who died in Miller stree
during the dav. Arterio Scherosis wa

SUNDAY LAWS.

Wing 10y and c. Ying Lang, Chinese
merchants were before the district
court this morning charged with Vio-
lating the Sunday laws by keeping
open their stores and selling goods
yesterday. Judge Wilcox said that in
view of the conditions existing here
when so much necessary work in CON
rection with detention and relief camps
had been going on, and the usual habits
of personal and household purchases
had been upset, he did not think IT
right to deal too harshly with these
or other individual cases. He there
fore fined Wing 10y, who pleaded guilty
81. Deputy Marshal Chillingworth said
he agreed with the court and nolle
pressed the case of c. Ying Lang.
