C. x. MATTHEWS EXPLAINS
The Recent Controversy with the
state Board of Health

The proceedings before the State Board
of Health on Thursday, involving the ques-
ton of stream pollution. have excited gen.
eral attention and led TO much comment.
Some interesting features connected with
the meeting escaped attention, and for the
purpose Of clearing them up the Journal
sought an interview with Mr. Charles Y.
Matthews, who figured prominently in the
proceedings. A personal difficulty occurred
during the noon adjournment between DR..
Hurry, of the State Board OF Health, and
Mr.. Matthews, the main points of which
were reported in the papers But there was
a sequel to this which involves a question
of some public interest. II was generally
understood that Mr.. Matthews apologized
TO DR. Hurry after the adjournment of the
board for what he said TO him during the
difficulty above mentioned. Mr.. Matthews
was seen by a Journal reporter last night
and asked for the particulars of this oc-
currence. In reply Mr.. Matthews said:
Il did not apologize TO DR.. Hurry after
the adjournment of the board in the after
noon. Dr. Hnrty approached me and eX-
tended his hand. j asked him why he made
such an attack upon me, and his reply was:
Because / was angry After several re-
marks between us L said: We'll, DR.. Hurry,
If YOU withdraw your offensive statements,
l also withdraw the offensive statements
which 1 addressed to you This ended that
incident but there is another feature which
ought to be understood 1 had applied to
the board in writing for permission 10 eX-
anime the Muncie pulp mill which had re-
fused me permission TO look through their
plant when ] made the tour a few weeks
ago investigating the pollution of White
river by the various factories. 1 asked DR..
Hurry what action the board had taken on
my request. His reply was that they had
granted it, provided l would allow him Dr.
Hurty) to go along with me- / leave the
public to decide what was intended by this
appointment OF a guardian TO attend a
newspaper reporter in search of stream
pollution by a pulp mill. The board claims
TO be opposed to stream pollution, and L
had supposed that they would welcome any
aid, through the newspapers or otherwise,
that would tend i'm this direction"

TALK OF A MODEL DAIRY.
Plans Outlined by the Topp HySicnic
MIX Company.

Charles c. Topp, of the Topp Hygienic
Milk Company. which filed articles of in
corporation with the secretary of state Il
few days ago, announces that prepare tiOns
are being made to install at the company s
place on Sherman drive, near the city
limits thoroughly modern sanitary dairy
plant. Mr.. Topp says that the plans and
specifications for this plant call for build
ings aud equipment that will constitute a
model hygienic dairy such as is conducted
by William Rockefeller at Tarrytown, n.
Y, and also by Levi T. Morton at his farm
IN New York. The cows from which the
company will obtain milk Will be driven at
each milking time into stables constructed
entirely of stone and cement. the latter be-
ing used particularly for the floor. The
object IN having a cement floor is that II
may be nOnabsOTbent of filth.
Ordinarily, it Is said, large milk depotS
in central places such as indianapolis
handle a great deal of milk that has been
shipped i'm from outside points, and this
milk is put through centrifugal process
IN order To remove particles or dirt IL may
contain. This milk Is as a rule, 1t Is as
serted, from twenty-four 10 fOrty-eight
hours old before il reaches the consumer.
The TOpp Company, however, proposes TO
handle only milk from its own cows and TO
take such precautions that no dirt shall
be allowed 10 get into the fluid in the first
place. For safety the milk will be run
through operators and over coolers before
being bottled for delivery. The milk that
will be delivered TO customers will be at
most only three four hours old.
The stables Will be kept at the same tenn
perature the year round. being artificially
cooled in summer and heated by steam in
the winter
The aerd of Jerseys now owned by the
FTopp Company, TO the number of over one
hundred, will shortly be augmented to more
than 40O by the addition OF several other
herds of the same valuable milk-producing
breed. The company expects TO be in q
position to supply 1900 families with alb
solutely pure milk when its new plant is
completed.

The agitation among grocers of this city
relative to the closing of stores on Sunday
has resulted, independently of the asso-
citation, in an agreement among South Side
grocers to close their stores Saturday night
and not open them again until Monday
morning. 1t is thought the action taken
will have a good effect upon the movement
started by the association TO secure the
closing of all the stores and meat markets.

NEW SUBSIDY BILL
BEING PREPARED

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-A new
ship subsidy bill will be introduced in
the Senate early in the next session of
Congress. 1t will differ from the meas
ure which Senators Frye and Hanna
made such n strenuous effort to have
passed last winter. What the modi-
tications will be are to be- determined
between this time and December, but
it is intended they shall not alter the
old bin in any radical manner. Some
efforts will be made. however, to make
the new measure acceptable to those
who opposed the old one
Advocates of ship subsidy purpose
beginning early in bringing the issue
to the front AT the coming session. A
conference is scheduled to be held In
Boston tomorrow or on Wednesday, at
which II draft of the new bill will be
considered. There will be present Sen
ators Hanna and Frye, Representative
Littleficld of Maine, President GrisCom
of the International Navigation Com
pany, and a few others who are in
terested in building up the measure.
Senator Hanna was due to arrive in
Boston today. He has been at Bath,
Me- where the United States cruiser
Cleveland and II large ocean sailing
vessel named in honor of Senator
Frye have been launched,
one OF the most important questions
pertaining to the new bill which will
come before this conference centers
around the proposition TO pay subsidies
to foreign built ships now owned who'll
~ or in major part by Americans.
II will be recalled that II was against
this provision Of the old bin that the
greatest hostility was shown at the
last session Of Congress, and IL is un-
derstood the aim Of the conference at
Boston will be to so frame this clause
as not to excite the same dangerous
opposition. To accomplish this pur-
pose and at the same time to carry
out the idea embodied in the foreign
tonnage feature of the bill will be a
difficult matter, especially in view OF
the fact that since the adjournment
of Congress last March j. Pierpont
Morgan and the transportation COM
panics with which he is allied have
purchased foreign ships having com
bined capacity OF 2I5 900 tons.
The question Of shortening the period
of operation of the subsidy law from
twenty years, as was proposed in the
old bill, to about twelve or fifteen
years will also b" considered. Another
matter that vii! come up before the
conference, il is understood, will be to
fix uniform rate of subsidy OF ! per
cent per gross ton for each one hun
dred nautical miles covered by ships
enjoying "a government bounty.
In the old bill it was proposed to
pay IL cents for each one hundred
miles, not exceeding fifteen hundred
miles, and ! per cent per ton for each
additional hundred miles sailed.
An effort will be made also to sim
plify all the provisions in the new
measure 80 az TO render il more intel
ligible TO members of Congress and
the general public.

FORESTER hAUGhS
MAKES REPORTS

Forester David Haughs made his report
to Syray Taylor yesterday of the investi-
cation he made nearly month ago of
the forests In the district of Makowao,
Maui. He is of the opinion that the gov
eminent forest adjoining the lands of the
Huelo Sugar Company should be fenced
in, and that new trees be planted, If the
water supply Is to be insured.
He also says:
From Polipoli spring, We passed
through the lands of Kamaole, Keokea.

stretch of territory where there is evil

EXTENSION, b. c.. Oct. Curtain
Extension No. 2 mine caught fire from "A
pit lamp yesterday. The fire extended
to the woodwork, and was caught by
an indraft and carried through the
mines.
The fire broke out at the bottom of
the level and was communicated across
the stope by of the curtains and
in half an hour the whole stope was on
fire. Rescue parties entered the mine and
reached the place where the miners had
been at work, but the men had gone
running with the fresh air, instead of
against 1t, in an attempt to get out by
the accustomed route, thus meeting
death half way.
While the restuers were at work the
mine exploded. blocking them and the
explosions continued all afternoon and
evening. When 1t was realized that the
men could not be saved strong force
started to choke the mine, but their
work was undone by a terrific explosion
which blew down the barricade. At 3
O'Clock the fan house burned,
Seventeen men are known to have been

FEARS THE RUIN OF HAWAII.
Louis T. Grant Says the Official
Treasury Has 90 Cents.

At last accounts the official treasury
of the Territory OF Hawaii contained %
cents. Drafts were being issued by
the government in payment of salaries,
and these drafts We're being discounted
by the Territorial bank When this
years taxes are collected the bank
may get its money back, but conditions
in the Islands are growing from bad
to worse.
Rotten politics may prove the ISL
ands ruin" said Louis 7. Grant, OF
Honolulu, who is responsible for the
foregoing statements. Mr.. Grant Is at
the Auditorium Annex.
THE bill for an educational qualifi-
cation for voters, as it passed the
American Congress-" he continued, lis
largely the cause. The law now Is that
any resident who Is able to read and
write either English or Hawaiian may
vote. This gives suffrage to a large
class of voters entirely ignorant of re-
publican institutions.
Politicians cultivate the native vote
by spreading among the people the
idea that IL they vote for the Independ
ent Home Rule party the Islands may
be wrested away from American con-
troll. Wilcox, the representative in
Congress. Is the leader Of that party.
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani has no political
influence.
The white business men of the Ter
ritory are getting discouraged and
many of them may emigrate. "--Chica-
