OF all The people VIII doubtless be
Interested in watching the effect OF tho
serum on US; If We come out all right
then most everybody will be willing
to submit to the treatment"
Cooper; Couldn't We allow all per-
sons from clean districts to travel?"
Or. Wood: THE only clean district
in Honolulu Is Chinatown"
Hatch II think that we should by
all means keep up the stringent meas
ures that we have been following all
along in the fight against the plague.
Now that We are apparently at the
| end of the epidemic, we should be
| doubly vigilant and do all in our pow
er to make our campaign success. We
must run no risks whatever of the
plague getting the better of us now.
am heartily in favor of not modifying
our methods in any way"
Cooper: mo person who has gone
from Honolulu has been the cause of
other cases anywhere else. No one
has become new center after leaving
here"
DR.. Wood: I'VE cannot be too sure
of that. Take Kahului, for example.
Plague broke out in Kahului, nobody
knows how. 1t may have been through
rats being carried from Honolulu in
ships holds or it may have been that
somebody from Honolulu with plague
went there and died unrecognized as a
plague victim; that he infected the
soil; that the rats there contracted it
from the soil, and that in that manner
the disease spread in that town. One
point that Mr.. Hatch brought up leads
me to say that we are not fighting the
plague in Honolulu for temporary
victory; We don't want any recurrence
of the epidemic here in after years;
we want to suppress it once and for
all"
Emerson: IF we have faith in the
serum | think that people should be
permitted to travel after incubation"
G. w. Smith seconded DR.. Days mo-
ton in regard to incubation, the mo-
ton was put to vote and unanimously
carried. 1t was decided afterwards to
make it requirement that travellers
after incubation remain in town seven
days, to be allowed to go at the end of
that period If in good health, after
proper disinfection of baggage.
Minister Cooper made mention of the
many objections people made whenever
one individual was allowed to leave the
city on business.
DR.. Wood: You are not the only
one they made fuss about, Mr.. Coop
er, SO you needn't worry"
Smith: You and | are even now,
Cooper they are after me on the poi
son proposition, and now there is
cry raised on your recent business
trip"
The Board then held a brief execu-
tive session.
Following the secret session the
members of the Board drove out TO
Iwilei and viewed the premises from
MI n Ia MI
taken. 1t was decided that the Chinese
stable premises where All Jan lived
should be given to the flames. These
are the Gee Fow stables.
The Prison road stables, across the
road from the condemned structures,
were also visited by the Board. Action
in the latter case was deferred until
today's meeting. Officer Fox has re-
moved all of the people who lived in
these places to battery camp.
Delirium Tremens Reports.
In the case of Kuaole, delirium tre-
mems, reported on Sunday, DR.. lobe
made the following report; From Ma

ture normal, a good, big drunk" DIR.
