HEALTH BOARD MEETING

At meeting OF the Board of Health
yesterday afternoon there were pres
ent the following: President Wood.
DR.. Day, r. NJ. Hatch. Geo. w. Smith.
Minister Cooper. +. J. Lowrey and DR..
Emerson.
1t was voted that DR.. Grace of Hilo
be paid at the rate of $3.50 month and
passage money, from the time he left
Hilo until his return.
President Wood read the following
report from DR.. Hoffman:
THE post mortem examination of
the woman, Mary Kaaihue, who died
in house in the rear of the coal sheds,
showed very large bubo in the left
axillary gland and very small bubo
in the right femoral region. Besides
these bubonic indications pronounced
symptoms of bronchial pneumonia
were evident.
I'm the case of All Chong, the Chi
naman who died in house adjoining
a Chinese general store on King street,
near the Waikiki turn, found q most
pronounced bubo on the right side of
the neck. Small bubos were evident
gions and also in the left aXillary
glands.
In the case of All Hung. Hotel
| stables victim. ! found a pronounced
bubo on the left side of the neck and
small bubos in the inguinal glands.
Pronounced bronchial pneumonia was
also indicated"
President Wood gave IL as his opin-
ion that the Hawaiian Chinese woman
had taken the disease by means of her
hands or fingers. The two Cinnamon
had very likely contracted the disease
| by means of something they had eaten.
All Hung was in the habit of going
about barefooted and may have become
infected in that way.
President Wood told of his visit to
the All Hung premises. The whole To-
cality of the Chinese houses on the
makai street was in filthy condition.
Gambling was carried on at the place
and an opium smoking den was found
back of the first building. From thirty
| five to forty Cinnamon were in the
habit of collecting there and either
sleeping on the place or remaining I'M
til late hour. 1t was DR.. Woods idea
| that the inspectors of the district had
not done all that was necessary In the
work of inspecting. The rooms of such
places should be looked into.
President Wood next took up the
case of All Hung, the Hotel stables
man, and stated the particulars as CIV
en- In yesterdays Bulletin. The Hotel

OF the eight young men charged with
placing dynamite on the steps Of st.
Paul's Methodist Church, and as q re-
suit Albert Kubn has been held to the

Charles Mettie has been arrested in a

of the eight men and the developments
following their arrest, the police came
to the conclusion that Albert Kuba
knew something in regard to the at
tempt to blow up the home of Attorney
Cron, and it was on that line that they
directed their every effort. They Sc
cured partial confession from Kuba.
They did not give the matter out, how
ever, until they received a message
from Michigan sheriff stating that
Mettie was under arrest. They then
arraigned Kuba and held him ito the
grand jury in bonds of $4,000, which
he will not be able to furnish. 4

Details OF the sudden eruption from
the central crater of Mount Etna, last
July, are gradually coming to light
through scientific reports. One of the
most striking phenomena of the out
break was the formation of an "erup-
tive pine" or 'cloud-tree" directly
above the crater. A famous example
of these volcanic smoke-trees is that
which was seen standing over Vesu-
vius during the destruction OF Pom
peii. But Etna is a far mightier and
loftier volcano than Vesuvius. The
verge Of its great crater is nearly H.
600 feet above sea level, and the
"eruptive pine" last July rose more
than 10000 feet above the crater. 1t
was finally blown off by the wind, hid
ing the sun as it drifted away In an
elongated black cloud.
