Hart N. Cook, owes an explanation of
his business methods to the voters Of the
Fourth ward, whom he aspires to repre-
sent in the common council as a member
Of the board of aldermen. The Fourth
ward comprises one of the most impor-
tant business districts of the city of ST.
Paul, and the voters will demand that a
straight business man represent their in
terests in the city's legislative Depart
ment.
Mr.. Cook owes the residents Of the
Fourth ward, and the citizens at largo
for that matter, an explanation of his
neglect to pay a loan from the Widows
and Orphans fund maintained by the
members of the fire department The
Widows and Orphans fund is maintain
ed by the active members of the fire de-
partment by q system of monthly dues
From it are paid accident and death bene-
fits to injured firemen or the families of
deceased members of the department.
In March 1896, Hart N Cook, then as
sistant chief of the department borrowed
$317 from the Widows and Orpans' fund,
giving as security his personal note.
When the note was due Cook refused to
pay it. He was sued and judgment Sc
cured. Later he was brought up in sup
Elementary proceedings and several I'M
satisfied executions have been returned.
In February, 1902, Cook received from
the city $2,250 in settlement of his claim
for back salary accrued under the sweep
ing reduction of fremen's salaries put
in force by a former board. Since that
date the sheriff has returned another I'M
satisfied execution. BY virtue of his pro-
motion to the head of the fire department
by former Mayor Doran's command and
grace of Mayor Doran's board of fire COM
missioners, Cook became a member of
the board Of trustees that manages the
fund and occupied that position, pro-
tected by the commission while the fire
men vainly sued to get the money they
had contributed for the support of help
less women and children from a debtor
who as assistant chief drew salary of
$13S per month, and later as chief 800
per year.

DIR. w j. GOODHUE A CAPABLE
MICROSCOPIST.
The New Doctor at the Leper Settle
ment Is An Enthusiast In Original
Research Into Leprosy.

DR.. W. ]. Goodhue. who has just been
appointed government physician in
charge at the Leper Settlement, is u
Canadian by birth, and is about thirty
four years OF age. HE came Co th. ISL
anis in 1900, having been preceded here
by his brother Or. h. 5. GoOIhue OF
koloa, Kauai
The new Settlement physician is -
graduate of Rush Medical Couuge, Chi
cagO, which ranks very high among
American medical institutions He is
said to be microscopist of ability and
ever since he has been practicins in the
Islands has devoted a good deal of at
tention to leprosy, being an enthusiast
in original research into its causes and
character.
Dr. GOodhue was licensed to practice
by the Board of Health December z.
1900, and has been at Eleele as plan
tation physician for McBryde planta-
ton and in private practice there ever
since. 1t is said that in accepting the
position at the settlement ne sacrifices
quite as large an income or larger, than
he will receive as salary in the new
position. but takes it as an opportunity
for original research and to make a
name for himself in his profession.

THE REIGN OF LAW
TWENTY-ONE IN JAIL AT THE
SETTLEMENT.
Fines Are Not Imposed Now to Make
Heroes of Omenders-Tnstead Jail
Sentences and Road Work.

The leper settlement on Molokai now
has a penal rOadgang A reign of law
and order has been inaugurated There
are at present twenty-five prisoners
serving jail sentences of from five to
sixty days, and like other prisoners
throughout the territory they are en-
ployed on government works. For the
most part they are occupied i'm clear
ing the roads and other used public
grounds from lantana. Their offences
range from drunkenness to assault and
battery.
The new regime was inaugurated in
the district court of the Settlement by
imposing Jail sentences instead of
fines. 1t was found that fines were
really no punishment to the offenders,
or at least not a deterrent. THE man
who was fined" said superintendent
McVeigh, was really not punished at
all, because he didn't pay the fine; his
whole circle of friends were called on
TO chip in two bits apiece to pay the
fine, and the offender himself some
times didn't even chip i'm that much.
Instead of being punished the offender
sometimes even posed as a sort of hero
for a certain circle When / first went
to the settlement I tried to improve
matters by admonishing offenders, and
urging them to respect the law and
the rights of others. l even went so far
dts 70 tell lutlll ludl IL lueN Ndnleu TO
drink swipes | didn't care if they would
go off to the kula and drink their
swipes and have their Kilkenny fights
there, where they would not disturb
anybody else, and particularly where
they would not disturb those who were
peaceably inclined. But they wouldn't t
do that, and matters seemed to grow
worse until on Saturdays and Sundays
the peace and order of the settlement
were disturbed in every way. l told
them then that there was only one
thing to be done, order must be main
tained and the police department and
the district court have been doing the
rest. There was some kick at first,
but the better elements at the settlement
are now asserting themselves and are
supporting the efforts being made.
"At present prisoners are employed
mostly in clearing lantana along the
roads and the peace and order of the
community are very much improved.
THE order of the Board of Health di-
recting that new arrivals, except those
going to some one of the institutions
shall be concentrated at Kalaupapa in
stead of being distributed between the
two villages, is entirely satisfactory to
the people there.
I'VE are now trying to create a COM
plete set of records for the Settlement,
records that will be complete and OF
value both for administrative and me-
dical purposes. The records kept there
in the past are not complete in many
particulars, and indeed it is a difficult
matter to keep correct statistical re-
cords with all the other duties required
in the administration of the place. Blu:
We are trying to improve in this parti-
cular, as in others, and hope to sue
Ceed."

She may be reported before midnight
and, may in fact, get here in the al

good time as this, but once since she
has been on the Oriental run.
She will bring eight days later mail
and news. She will have the first de-
tailed account of the Jeffries- Fitzsim-
mons prize fight and her arrival is,
therefore, being awaited with more
than usual interest. She win probably
sail tomorrow afternoon for the Orient
Captain Pillsbury her regular master
may not come with the boat this trip
as it was reported he would take a
vacation on the present trip.
The S. s. Alameda, Captain HERMAN
is due tomorrow afternoon from San
Francisco. She will have one days
later news than that brought by the
Peru, as she left the day following
which was August 2
The S. S. Nevadan will leave Homo
lulu some time Saturday evening for
San Francisco. She will probably carry
mail. There is a question however as
to whether she will get into San Fran
cisco ahead of the S, $. City of Pekiug
the regular mail liner. The Peking is
due to sail from Honolulu next Monday
August II for San Francisco, about As
hours later than the Nevadan. The
Nevadan will take about 9la days in
which to make the trip to San Fran
cisco, which the Peking will take but
Z days This will mean that the Peking
will get into san Francisco either a
day ahead or on the same day with the
Nevadan. The Peking may sail late
however and in such an event the
NeVadan will get To the Coast first.
