merchandise.

a cripple.
DR. Carmichael said that he was will

There should be an expert appointed

artistic arrangement of collegiate

them flexible enough to be added to for
the next half century. 1 would say
build first in the campus between
Rocky Hill and Manoa Road and
make plans for a college or university
that will be adhered to in the future.
For artistic effect the grounds should
be studied with care. To put UP a
stone building here, brick one there,
and again wooden one for immediate
needs, would be false economy
Il do not wish to say anything about
Pauahi Hall, which will be thought to
reflect on anyone. 1t is a beautiful
building, but inadequate for collegiate
needs. There is too much hall space

HIS DEATH is a
DARK MYSTERY
Skeleton of Chinese Found
off Nuuanu Road
Yesterday.
(From Wednesdays Daily)

a ghastly discovery by school children
yesterday in the hau bushes near Forester
Moore'S residence in Nuuanu Valley has
developed Il mystery which the police are
investigating. The skeleton of a male
Chinese was seen by several children who
reported the fact at once to Ellen Moore,
who telephoned to Captain Pratt of the
WaterworkS Department. The Attorney
General was communicated with and he in
turn addressed a letter to the High
Sheriff. After the story had gone its Of
fetal rounds, High Sheriff Brown impan-
elled the following coroner's jury: C. H.
w Norton, William Holt, W. Savidge,
Chas. Phillips, William Blasdell and H.
Crabbe, and drove them in a wagonette
to the place indicated in the Attorney
Generals letter.
The High Sheriff and the jury were di-
rected to a portion of the road above Res
ervoir No. and above the Pail saloon,
to bend in the road where a little water
fall descended almost into the road.
The party was led directly back of the
waterfall for a distance of about 100 yards.
Underneath the hau bushes a fearful
sight met the gaze of the party. There
lay figure wrapped in rotting clothes
a cursory examination disclosed the fact
that no flesh adhered to the bones The
skull was exposed directly to the air and
was discolored somewhat The jaw bone
had fallen away. The man had been
dressed in neat black sack coat.
hat of Hawaiian manufacture made of
cocoanut leaves and covered with
pugaree was found lying about two feet
away from the body almost as If before
death the hat had been removed from the
head and laid upon the ground. The
trousers We're of a dark color. The shoes
were well made and had elastic sides
~ measurement of the trousers at the
waist showed thirty inches, indicating
that the man was small Near by the
head was found a mass of black hair
about II inches long, to which was attach
ed cloth braid such as is used by Chi
nese. This was conclusive evidence that
the man was a Chinese. In one of the
pockets was found a hair braiding string
The skeleton was entirely dearticulated.
The remains were brought to town and
the skull now reposes in the Deputy
Sheriff's office. No marks of violence
could be found and the skull had not been
fractured. The jury searched diligently
about the skeleton to discover vials tin
or paper boxes, or weapons, but none was
found.
Police surgeon stated that the man had
In his opinion died some eight or nine
months ago. The question has arisen
from this whether the man was murdered
or whether he died of plague. There Is
belief that he may have been n refugee
from one of the quarantine camps and
made his way toward the Pail slckened on
the way and crawlcd into the bushes to es-
'ape surveillance by the guards who

the casual observer
The news OF Pratts having come
here was first made known to anyone
In Honolulu when he called on George
w smith member OF the Board OF
Health, yesterday.
After going from Smiths store to
the Board Of Health and back again,
Pratt was taken into custody by the
High Sheriff and Is now at the Kalihi
leper receiving station under the care
of the Board OF Health awaiting eX-
animation today
Pratt says that he was advised to
come here by the Board of Health of
San Francisco; that he informed that
body he was n leper and that DR.,
O'Brien, executive officer, and the other
doctors told him this was Just the place
for him.
The Board OF Health Of Hawaii met
yesterday afternoon to consider the
case and after discussion with Federal
Physician Carmichael determined to
have Pratt carefully examined this
morning.
If declared a leper still he will be
confined until the China returns from
the Orient, when he will be sent back
to California.
George w. Smith of the drug firm
of Benson e Smith was in his office
yesterday afternoon when Pratt saun-
tered in after depositing his baggage
on the sidewalk and asked If Smith
was the health officer. Smith said he
was a member of the Board of Health.
"Well that's just as good" said Pratt.
I'm a leper and I've come from San
Francisco to help the lepers at Molo-
kai. My disease is not contagious and

Pratt's hands and feet are fearfully
mutilated by the amputation of several
OF his fingers and most of his toes but
the wounds are all healed and he is
robust and strong. DR.. Emerson, who
examined Pratt, said he noted an alb
sorption of several bones of the fingers
and "A brown patch on the left arm.

other portions of the body were marked
suspiciously.
