FOR DISINFECT|NG PLANT
ONE FOR THE CLEANSING OF THE
SHIPS.
Board of Health Committee Appointed
to Look Into the Matter-Freight and
Hotel Stables.

A large part of the time of the Board
of Health yesterday afternoon was
taken up with discussion of the sub
ject of shipping to the other lands. An
application of H. Hackfeld & Company
to ship clean European anu American
goods in original packages brought up
the subject. The firm agreed to fumi-
gate the packages in such manner as
might be prescribed.
Dr. Wood said it was probably nee
essary to take up the freight matter
again. When the first rules were
adopted it was hoped that the plague
could be stamped out in a few weeks.
At that time actual suffering on the
other islands on account of the restric-
tions was not thought Of If appeared,
however that this had become or was
about to become the case.
Mr.. Cooper reported a remark of deal
ers that fumigation spoiled canned
goods, as it ruined the labels and the
consumers would not buy.
Mr. Hatch thought this did not indi-
cate starvation, for If the people on the
other islands were really in need of
food they would not be so particular
about having pretty, fresh labels on the
tins.
Mr.. Hatch urged the need of a plant
for disinfecting ships from the Orient
and any other infected localities.
and had now probably gained a foot

ly menaced and the appliances at hand
were not effective. A motion to APP
point a committee to look into the mat

Smith were appointed on this commit
tee
The letter from the Citizens Sanitary
Committee in regard to the Hotel sta
bles was taken up for discussion Dr.
Wood explained that before action is
taken the movements of All Hung
should be known and the source of in
lection established. In this matter the
Citizens Sanitary Committee should be
of great service and he hoped it would
find the houses in Kakaako or Pauoa
occupied by the man.
Mr.. Cooper's opinion was that if it
was not clear that the stables were
infected it would be wrong to burn
them.
With regard to future shipments from
the Orient the following resolution was
passed:
Whereas, in the opinion of the Board
that by reason of the existence Of
plague in Asiatic ports, there is serl-
Gus and continuing danger of the in
PRODUCTION of the same into the Hawai-
ian Islands, and that Notwithstanding
the quarantine defense, this danger is
so increased by the Introduction of GER
tain foodstuffs from such countries
that a suspension of the right to intro
duce the Same is demanded, in the in
terests of public health;
Resolved, That the President of the
Republic be requested, in pursuance of
the power vested in him by law. to
prohibit the introduction into the Ha-
waiian Islands of foodstuffs named in
the schedule below written. from Asia
! tic ports, so lone as plague exists in
| any of such ports.

MRS PALMER FOR PARIS.
Nominated as a Commissioner to the
Exposition.

WASHINGTON February 5.-There
is no truth i'm the published story that
the French government has objected to
the appointment of Mrs. Potter palmer
as an honorary commissioner to the
Paris exposition. On the contrary, VI.
Cambon, the French ambassador, gal
lantly says that his government would
be delighted to have so beautiful and
charming a woman represent the Uni
ted States at the exposition. There is,
however, a decided objection on the
part of the French government to hav-
ing a board of women appointed from
the United States on the ground that
there is no womans department in the
exposition. The achievements of women
are not distinguished from the achieve
ments of men, and have no separate
classification. 1t was proposed to have
a purely woman's department similar
to that at Chicago, devoted to women's
work and controlled by women com.
missioners. To this the French govern
ment objected, not from prejudice
against the sex, but because it was MT
included in the classification.
Mrs. Palmer's nomination, together
with those of the commissioners, will
be sent to the Senate as soon as the
emergency bill now in conference COM
mittee has become a law.

DIR. WOOD EXPLAINS.
Answers Sanitary Committee in Re-
gard to Hotel Stables.


Yesterday afternoon Dr. Wood adj
dressed a letter to the Citizens SAM
tary Committee in reply to its commu-
nication regarding the Hotel stables, a
of which says:
I'm reply, allow me to state that the
Board has in no instance ordered the
destruction of property without first
making a careful survey of the prem
Uses and weighing all the evidence
which could be obtained as ID infec"
ton. In a great majority of the cases
the evidence has shown that at least
one person has been sick upon the
premises for several days; that he
slept upon the premises; that floors,
furnishing, clothing, soil and cesspoCls
had become soiled through discharges,
In many cases the person was fourd
dead or dying upon the premises. Many
of the cases occurred in a general dis
trict known to be infected. Where adj
joining premises were included in the
condemnation proceedings it was not
alone because of proximity to an in
fected place, but also because of init
mate connection through floorings, par
ty walls, continuous roofs, back yards,
piles of rubbish and old lumber, adj
joining cesspools, common conditions
of filth and intimate association Of
inmates"
From this point the President of the
Board proceeds to analyze each case
mentioned by the Citizens Sanitary
Committee.
1.-THE Board has not departed from
the radical policy heretofore inaugur-
ated in condemning and destroying
premises found, upon reasonable evil
dence, after investigation, to be infect
ed by plague. In the instance under
discussion the only announcement yet
made that the Hotel stables is not to
be burned occurred in the headlines
of the morning paper, and for this the
Board respectfully declines responsi-
bility."
