Up to the hour of going to press 80 per-
sons have died Of bubonic plague in Homo.
lulu. 1t is just month since the Board of
Health was officially notified that the plague
was here.
Punahou Mosquito: "Say, you're not in
it,"
Bubonic Bacillus "Why not?"
Punahou Mosquito: You only kill at one
shot, and l can worry the life out of man
through months of torture
As the war on cats, dogs vernin and mos
quitoes has been proclaimed the long suffer-
ing residents Of Punahou would be partcu-
larly grateful for an determination OF their
mosquitoes, which are larger and more
vicious than other breeds in Honolulu.
AS enthusiastic as the Board of Health
were in their treatment of bacterology they
had the wisdom to spare the Occidental
Hotel, which stands as most remarkable
specimen IF architecture that guides show to
tourists.
The big hole in the street in front Of the
Lincoln Block is not the mark of a nitro
glycerine explosion. 1t only denotes the
point where the rival trolley corporations
came to misunderstanding. When this
cruel plague is over some one in authority
will fill up the unsightly excavation.
There will soon be a call made for meet
ing of citizens to organize "Good Govern
ment Club such one as many California
cities have. This step will be taken as pre-
paratory measure for mucipal government,
which the passage of the Culom bill insures
to the residents of Honolulu. Sound
municipal organization will be ur-
gently advocated by those who have the for
nation of the club in hand and it will be to
the interests of all taxpayers to respond to
the call.

Scruggs, President, being in the
chair.
After the reading of the minutes
an agreement was read from the
retail grocers all having virtually
signed to close at p. m,
At the suggestion of Mr.. Leon
berger of the Traiumen, we we're
asked to appoint one ofour mem,
bers to serve on a general grievance
committee in conjunction with the
Switchmen, Trainmen, Carmen and
Labor Union as general arbitra-
tion committee to settle any conten-
tions that may arise in future in
their respective branches of or

Mr.. W. L. Wilson on this com
mittee.
The TeXarkana Clothing Co., and
Graham, Nelson & Co., having rep
resentatives present, they we're
given the privilege of the floor to
state their side of the controversy
now pending, regarding 7 o'clock
closing. After considerable Oargu-
ment Mr.. Stuart submitted a prop
osition that we change the closing
hour from Z to Sp. M. as this would
virtually do away with any good
that we may enjoy by early closing,
this motion was lost. Mr., Stuart
then offered that we submit the
question to a committee appointed
from the labor organizations of
Texarkana, we to have representa-
tive and he one to state our side of
the question. But in view of the
fact, that it is almost the unani-
nous wish of the retail firms of the
city that Z o'clock be the hour
agreed upon, and as we already had
the assurance and support of sew
eral of the labor unions already, and
the promise of all Others, who
though having not yet met officially,
still as members, expressed their in
terest and best wishes In this move
ment, the motion was therefore
lost, and its place was substituted

That it be the sense of this meet
ing, that the retail merchants of
Texarkaua be asked to close their
stores at Z p. M, Saturday excepted,
which motion was carried unani-

A motion of thanks be drafted to
each of the labor organizations who
had helped US in this movement.
A letter was received from the
"Woman's Federation of Labor"
giving us their support ald en-

A motion was carried to have
large conspicuous placards printed

attention was directed to it until the recent
agitation occurred.
Bristow said there were other papers re-
lating to Utah containing private and polit
cal matters, which It was desired to sub
NIT to the committee in executive session.
The committee agreed that such matters
should not go to the press and a sub
committee was appointed to 20 over the pa
pers in executive session.
p. A. Drury, chief of the section in the
Postofice department handling matters re-
lating to Utah. stated that he had no recol-
lection Of the petition and knew nothing
Of the polygamous charges until attention
had recently been directed to them He gave
the magnitude OF the letters received, about
II 600 daily. and said Il was physical i'm
possibility to read every paper throughout
although the literal instructions were that
it should be done. The petition was not
called to the attention of the postmaster
general or the president.
In answer to a question as to whether
any political prejudice could have entered
into the handling of the papers, Drury stated
that this could not be true, as he was
democrat. After discussing the scope OF
the investigation the committee decided to
have Chairman Loud ascertain whether in
dictments had been found against the ap-
pointees said to be polygamists on the
ground of their polygamy. This will take
some time and the inquiry will be resumed
at the call of the chairman.

crutches into the cozy dining room of his
private house at Letcombe Regis today
where a World reporter awaited him. The
room is strongly suggestive of New York

tigers, American bunting and fine steel
engraving of jefferson and Uttered with New
York papers. His sister, Mrs Warren. con-
voyed the boss to an easy chair, raised his
injured leg enveloped in bandages and set
in plaster of paris on chair. He was care
fully groomed, but his face was pale and
wan. The boss ia a somewhat pathetic
figure. His iron will is still dominant in
the firmly set mouth and strong self-reliant
eyes. He wore a plaid smoking jacket, golf
pants. woolen socks and slippers. When |
