There are many Who believe that
the experience Of last year shows that
many measures adopted then we're
worse than useless. There are some
Who believe that the changed condi-
aons Of government win render some
OF last years measures impossible of
repetition. inasmuch as there is now
United States court in the Territory
TO which appeal can be made. IL the
rights Of American citizens are invad-
ed San Francisco appealed to the
United States court for relief from
certain measures Of quarantine propos
ed by the Board Of Health OF that city.
and with success And yet no one
supposes that the United States or
any court will interfere with rational
measures TO prevent or stamp out cpl
demic"
Thus says the Star in discussing the
meeting of the Board of Health held
Sunday afternoon
"hy, The Republican would like to
ask. are there any better facilities for
appeal to the courts now, in case of
a plague scare, than there were one
year ago? Were the Courts of Hawaii
not in existence then the same rs
now?
Why was there no opportunity for
appeal to the courts during the plague
scare Of one year ago. Was It because
the courts at that time were venal. or
because they were under the subjee-
ton of the Board Of Health and the
sinister influences which controlled
that body at that time?
Undoubtedly no court now in Hawaii
would interfere with rational meas
ures to prevent or stamp out plague.
And on the other hand there is un-
doubtedly no court in this Territory
presided over by men who would per.
NIT themselves to be made the tools
Of a political Machiavel as members
of Citizens Sanitary Committee.

Needs More Than Clipping.
From the Independent.

From the Independent
The Independent has frequently salt
in its columns that the wings of the
Board of Health should be clipped
After yesterdays proceedings at q
meeting Of that august body We claim
that the Board should be wiped out
and that Senator Russel's bill relating
TO reconstruction Of the Board does
not go far enough.
With the tact and courtesy for
which the honorable gentlemen 4
the Board have always been known
the editors of the leading local dailies
proprietors Of newspapers and mem
bers Of the Legislature were invited
yes, requested, to attend a meeting OF
the Board Of Health at p. m. on a
Sunday to be insulted and roasted y
II such an occurrence had happened
in France it would have meant pistols
for two and coffee for one. II it hap
pened in England there would have
been a row, and in Germany it would
simply have caused the editors and
legislators to take their hats and leave
the office Of a subordinate bureau at
tempting to muzzle the press and bull
doze the lawmakers.
The editor of this paper is the off,
cial correspondent of two great daily
Eastern papers. The editor had moth
ing to say at the meeting because he
considered the action of the Board too
impudent to deserve the notice of gen.
tlemen. Had he spoken, he would have
asked the Board to explain who the
man was who let out the news in re-
gard to the suspected case OF plague.
Was it the attending doctor or was
1t member of the Board? Rumors
start somewhere and in this instance
il must have emanated from someone
very much in touch with the Board.
Let us have an explanation where the
Advertiser got its 'rumor" from and
then we will discuss the propriety of
the Board of Health signing a state
ment which must and will be tele-
graphed to every paper in the United
States, statement which will in
few hours be construed that the
plague is raging in Honolulu. Hun

FATAL STREET CAR COLLISION
NEAR ALBANY, NEW YORK

Albany, \. y. May 2T.-Electric cars
racing for n switch while running in
opposite directions. at the rate of forty
miles an hour, cost five lives yesterday
afternoon by n terrific collision, in
which over forty prominent people
We're injured. some fatally and others
seriously.
The lobby of the local postoffice filed
with dead and wounded, hysterical
women and children looking for rela-
tives and friends, surgeons admins
tering temporary relief and ambu-
lances racing through the city, taking
the wounded 10 hospitals. We're the
early int!mations of the accident.
The scene of the accident was AT
point about two miles out of Green's
bush. on the line of the Albany &
Hudson railway. The point where the
ears met on the single track was at n
sharp curve. and so fast We're both
running and so sudden was the COLI

With both motormen killed 1t was
hard to get at the real cause Of the ac-

the north bound car at the first siding.
The cars weigh fifteen tons each and
are the largest electric cars built, and
so frightful was the crash that both
cars were torn almost to splinters.

BOTH SOUTH CAROLINA
SENATORS RESIGN

Columbus, S. c., May 27.-As the
outcome of spirited debate between
United States Senators B. f. Tillman
and John L. McLaurin at Gaffney.
Saturday, both of them have put their
designations in the hands of Governor
McSweeney, to take effect Nov. 10.
They have resigned with the under
standing that they are to go before
the people of the state in n joint can
vass, and that the sentiment of the
people is to be expressed in the vote
in the Democratic primary to be held
in November.
Tillman was last summer reelected
to the United States senate for six
years. and McLaurin has yet two
years to serve. Should Tillman lie
sustained. McLaurin's seat will be VA
cant. If McLaurin is successful, lie
will succeed TO Tillman's long term.
A1cLaurin had been invited to Gafr.
Iey and friends of Tillman asked him
to come. too. McLaurin accused Till
man of attacking him. The latter de-
clared that he would resign and meet
McLaurin on the stump. McIaurln
agreed to the proposition.
Senator Tillman, when asked about
his resignation, said:

DENVER SALOONS ARE
NOW OPEN TO WOMEN

Denver, May 2I.-The close season
on the midnight and Sunday restau-
rant-Saloon in Denver has been official
ly declared of by Judge Palmer in the
district court and by the fire and police
board in obedience TO the action of the
court. Judge Palmer also decided that
women were entitled TO the same privi-
lege rs men to purchase liquors. This
decision was the result of n petition
for an Injunction filed by j. j. Cronin,
who conducts the saloon and wine
room at Eighteenth and Champa
streets.
The opening of the saloons after mid
night and on Sunday was the result of
an application for an injunction made
by |. Il. Stauer of the Chesapeake Oys-
ter e Fish Company against the fire
and police board of the city restr'ain-
ing the board from Interfering with
him in the selling of liquors with
meals.
Judge Palmer issued the injunction
without hesitation. The application of
the plaintiff recites that the board and
chief of police are acting in violation
of the statute in interfering with the
sale of liquors at meals.
The arguments used in the case of
Ntic tllil
have the same rights as men in this
state and these rights extend to the
purchase of liquors nj the public bars.
If the suit is decided in favor of Gro
min it will have the effect of intro
ducing an Anglican feature into our
civilization.

authorities in the matter. President

injunction is dissolved. however, they

Excise Commissioner Griffith was in
favor Of bringing the matter to 4 hear

Proposed colorado-Arizona Line.

Denver, May 2I.-People of Duran
go. Colorado, and Clifton, Arizona, and
intermediate territory. are urging the
construction of n railroad 800 miles
long from Clifton, via Gallup, New

mayor of Durango and president of

n short and direct route from Durango

would have appreciated a bit of British
legislation which the premier seems to
view with sardonic amusement. In
an act of Parliament" says Lord
Salisbury. which authorizes us to
press forward technical instruction, it
is distinctly said that technical in
struction does not mean instruction in
any art, or craft. or livelihood. OF
course it is rather difficult under those
circumstances to know what it does
mean, but if you will go forward in the
act of Parliament you will find that it
means the cultivation of foreign lam
guages." This is diverting indeed. but
the humor OF the thing does not limit
its significance. Probably the British
legislator did not know exactly what
he did want Assuredly he is not the
first man who has found it hard to
draw q clear distinction betwixt you
