The Japanese assistant to DR.. Koba
ydshi. who was removed early yester-
day morning to the pest hospital, had
been exposed to the disease on many
occasions while assisting the doctor,
and it is supposed that in handling
cases he became inoculated through a
small scratch on his thumb. as his ak
Hilary gland is enlarged.
DR.. Kobayashi had erected for some
time a tentlike shack in his yard IN
preparation for just such a trouble. and
upon the first sign of the disease the
man was removed there and carefully
watched. The shack was destroyed by
fire yesterday morning.
Armstrong Smith and G. Elvin will
take charge of the new pest hospital
at the rifle range today. The telephone

their new quarters this morning and
their old habitation will be destroyed
by fire soon after.

Greaves as assistant, will take charge
of all suspects at the Kakaako hospi-

A communication from the Planters
Association, embodying certain rec
concentrations in regard to the inter-
Island trade, was read to the meeting.
At a meeting held last Saturday a res
olution was passed that these sugges-
tions be laid before the Board for its
consideration.
1t was recommended that all steam
ers engaged in the inter-Island traffic
should be compelled to remove 10 a
distance of 100 feet from any wharf.
That as far as possible freight should
be taken direct from foreign vessels
in haTbOr and thus leave untouched the

Certain items Of freight were men
toned as requiring no fumigation, such
as ironwork, machinery. etc.
The several suggestions drawn up
bv the Planters Association were made
the basis Of considerable argument by
the Board.
Minister Cooper pointed out that the
