Senator Allison Is rather Indifferent. II
not actually opposed to the measure. and
this Is a source OF anxiety to several of
the leading senators on the Republican
side. II is significant to note In this
connection that Representative Hull. a
leading member OF the house delegation
least only lukewarm regarding the mer-
Its of ship subsidy measure.
Senator Aldrlch. who. with Allison ana
Platt, OF Connecticut, has come TO be rec
ognized as making up the strongest trio
of leaders In the senate. is not opposed
to the bill, although not as enthusiastic
In its favor as some others.
The plan OF a number OF the Republican
senators is to overcome the special order
for the Nicaragua canal bill by making
the shipping bill the unfinished business
before the day OF the special order ar
rives.
Representative Hull. chairman of the
house committee on military affairs. has
a similar plan regarding the army bill.
He hopes 10 report Il on Tuesday. or at
the latest on Wednesday. despite the pref
erence OF Representative Tawney. OF
Minnesota. and some others In favor OF
the oleomargarine bill.
'The oleomargarine hili." said Mr.. Hull

Army Bill VIII He vigorously
Advocated.

Special Dispatch 10 the Post-Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Se.According to
the present programme OF the leaders OF
congress. two os the most important mat
ters of legislation are expected to occupy
the attention OF the senate and house
Immediately upon assembling, next week.
The plan is TO force the ship subsidy bill
TO the front In the senate. and the army
reorganization bill in the house. After an
informal conference between three or
four OF the senate leaders. including mem
bers OF the steering committee. II was
said that In all probability as early as
"Wednesday a motion would be made in
the senate 10 take up the shipping bill.
Senator Platt, Of Connecticut, conServa-
tive in expressions OF opinion regarding
senate procedure, said tonight that there
could be no doubt that the ship subsidy
bill would be passed by the upper branch
Of congress. He believed that this would
be accomplished without a division on
strict party lines. He was confident that
several Democrats would vote for the bill.
He hoped that the measure would be dis
posed OF without much delay.

out of plague before checking it, but
TO eliminate the inducing factors. The
insanitary, filthy, disease-breeding
conditions in many of the localities are
practically unknown to you. There is
not a building at any of our ports
where immigrants could be isolated.
there are neither disinfecting chambers
or disinfectants; neither sterilizing ap-
planes or sterilizers. The whole ISL
and is practically without safeguard
IT defense of even the most primitive
nature, while public nuisances are ap-
parent on every hand.
The success that has so far crowned
he efforts of the committee in reduc-
ing the elements of danger, in anchor
ating and abating nuisances. in arous-
ing the public to the need of caution in
sanitary matters, all of which has
been successfully carried out without
legal authority, should give your
Board every confidence in the ability
of such a committee to carry out re-
suits more far reaching and success
full. If clothed with the legal authori-
ty, be the title under which they have
sought to establish themselves what 1t
may. Concerted action of some kind
is necessary, and If the name of Cit
liens Sanitary Committee for the ISL
and of Hawaii is more palatable to
your Board, l have no doubt the COM
mittee will serve the public as faith
fully under that name and style as
under any other.
1t is intimated in your reply that
any representative committee chosen
by the people of Hawaii, willing to
assist the Board in carrying out it's
regulations and other measures adopt
ed to prevent the spread of plague with
the greatest degree of certainty, and at
the same time with the least degree of
hardship and distress to the people,
will be recognized by the Board, and
commissions as agents of the Board of
Health will be forwarded them.
/ can see nothing in the proposition
submitted by you which in any way
conflicts with the stand taken by our
committee, though 1t is possible clash
in details may have occurred. and |
have every reason to believe that these
conditions will prove acceptable and
the danger of future friction elimi-
mated

OF this committee four are members
of the medical profession, and of the
remaining three two are well-known
business men of rare tact and judg-
ment. Further recognizing the fact
that the constitutional injunctions
would not permit the issuance of a
commission to the member from North
Hllo, ! urge in his stead the appoint
ment Of F. B. McStocker, we'll known
to you, and a man of great executive
ability. The issuance of commissions
to these gentlemen would be a fitting
recognition of their qualifications and
the confidence extended TO them by the
whole Island.
Your further prompt recognition of
the necessity of an emergency fund for
specific purposes, and your promise
that the Board will be glad to forward
the application to the Executive Coun-
Gil for presentation to the Council of
State will be received with gratifca-
ton by all citizens of the Island of Ha-
wall, and will go a great ways toward
bringing about better understanding
between them and your Board.

Dear Sir:-Your answer of this date
to my prior communication relative to
Health matters entrusted to me by the
Hawaii Committee is at hand. In reply
thereto l have again to urge that what
ever may be the title adopted by the
said committee, its objects and pur-
poses remain Identical with those
sought to be established by the Ma
tional Board. and are in no sense to be
regarded as an effort to either super
sede or usurp the functions legally in
vested in the National Board.

Reply to Health Boards
Call Down.
Argument of the HiloiteS as Stat.
ed by the Delegate From
Health Committee"

Under date of January 9th Mr.. Loe-
bernstein has made reply to President
Woods letter of the same date in which
the latter, representing the Board of
Health, refused to consider the propo-
sition or regulations urged by the Hilo
Board of Health"
1t is admitted by Mr.. Loebenstein
that many of the regulations passed by
with those of the general Board, but
this he condones by setting forth that
regulations enforced by the Board at
Honolulu, do not necessarily hold good
for the best interests of the Island of
Hawaii. The Hilo delegate lays par
ticular stress on the fact that the Hilo
regulations are entirely acceptable to
the residents Of that locality, and there
fore their enforcement should be
authorized by the Board of Health.
A portion OF the lengthy reply has
reference to the visit of Mr.. Cooper TO
Hilo and the proceedings in which he
took part upon the occasion of his
dramatic entry into the harbor, and
the delegate fears that Mr.. Cooper has
failed to make a correct representation
Of the occurrences which took place.
AS to the name of Board of Health
of Hawaii" the delegate says il was
mere matter of form, and their COM
mittee under any other name would
perform as earnest work in the future,
as it has done in the past. Mr.. Lee
bernstein intimates that the main point
desired by the Hiloites is the severance
Of all communication between Honolulu
and the island of Hawaii, except what
may be considered as absolutely essen
tial TO the physical needs of the people
In signing his name to his voluminous
letter, the Board of Health" has been
changed to Health Committee, Island
of Hawaii" The full text of Mr.. Loe-
benstein's reply is as follows:
