n CSTNESS men of Honolulu in gen.
eral are becoming interested in
rat-kiIiing crusade, plans for
which were discussed at the special
meeting at the Board of Health office
on Monday night. The Chamber Of
Commerce will take up the discussion
at its regular meeting at $3.50 this at
ternoon, with the intention OF cooper
ating with other organizations in car
rying out the suggestions of the board,
OF DR.. Golfer, of the quarantine depart
ment. and Of Assistant superintendent
Campbell, offhe Public Works Depart
ment, if deemed advisable.
In response to the call for :. meeting
yesterday morning of the shipping men
of Honolulu to devise ways and means
for the raising of $4,000 for the i'm
provement of the entire wharfage sys-
TEN on the waterfront as a method
of Kidding the city of rats, and there
by reducing the chances OF plague be-
ing introduced here again, u number
of representatives of the largest local
commercial houses met at the office Of
Castle & Cooke at 10 a. IN. Owing to
week on account of the departure of
several of the Island steamers the dis
cussion was brief, and no definite plan
of action was undertaken. Another
meeting will be held on Friday, by
which time the incoming and outgoing
mails Will have been digested and an
swered. and the business men will be
in better shape to deliberate on the
situation
There was a general consensus of
opinion. however. that the sum of
money mentioned should be raised at
an early date. and it was agreed also
there would be little difficulty in hav-
ing the amount subscribed by the firms
in the protection of the COM
merce of the Islands. From what was
said at the meeting all agreed that it
was time for action in fighting the
rats which iufest the wharves. as
they are believed to be the principal
mediums through which plague can be
introduced here. 1t was the belief
that heroic measures should be adopt
ed, such as OF ned at the special

viii be taken in charge by the
= United States if the recommends
ton of the Secretary of the Treasury
holds good. During The visit of Secre-
tary Cooper to Washington he met the
Isrec:al meeting being held during his
presence in the city, and the matter of
! the taking over of the establishment
here was discussed. From every indi-
cation this will be done and the next
step will be an inspection of the system
/ by Col. Charles L. L. B. Davis, who is
now here as member of the Fortifica-
| tions Board.
Col. Davis has been so busy during
his present tour of duty that he has
had no time for the consideration of
the matter of lights. He has secured
only some data which shows the num-
Der of the lights. bat not their power
and other characteristics. The depart
ment of Public Works Will be asked to
furnish Col. Davis with copies of the
'
OF the report OF Acting Governor Coop
er, SO that he may familiarize himself
with The situation before his return TO
take up tie complete survey OF the
lighting situation.
Col Davis said yesterday that he
might recommend that there be placed
at the mouth OF the harboT two flash
ing lights, one white and one req. so as
to furnish range for ships coming in
in the night, but If this should be done
IL would be a matter of an informal re-
port rather than one which would have
the weight of an official communica-
ton, so that he could not say whether
or not it would be followed in the max
ing. OF estimates for the Light House
Boards work for the coming year. In
fact he said he was of opinion that
the Board would permit the entire
problem~~to lie over until he had been
ordered here for a report which would
embrace the whole system and which
would make it clear what should be
done and how it might best be per-
formed.
should the recommendation of the
Treasury Department be followed it is
likely that Col. DAVIS will be sent back
here very soon TO get his report IN IN
time for submission with recommenda-
lions for appropriations by the Light
House Board. which appropriations VIII

HOldups in Butte.

. Butte, Mont, Jan. 1.-Two more
highway robberies occurred In this city
Sunday. One that happened may re.
suit in murder.
George Mohard, collector for the
Trades and Labor Assembly, left his
home in South Butte with $500 to turn
over to the treasurer. When a short
distance from his home he was accost-
ed by two masked men, who ordered
him to throw up his hands. Instead of
complying Mohard struck one of the
robbers in the face with his knuckles
and the other robber fired a shot which
pierced Mohard's left lung. AS he fell
to the ground the men relieved him of
his money. The injured man was able
to get up and walk to saloon across
the street, when the police were noti-
fed, but they have not caught the men.
Mohard was in an unconscious condi-
ton at late hour.
Early Sunday morning two masked
men entered saloon in Centerville,
ordered the bartender to throw up his
hands, but he ran out the back way for
help. Several shots were exchanged
but nobody was hit and the thieves
tapped the till for $31.
