PLANS FOR The
NEW PLAY GROUND
Mckinley Memorial Park Com
m,ttee Decides to Push
Its work.

The first step to be taken by the COM
mittee in charge of the Mckinley Me-
mortal Park will be to secure plans along
which there may be developed the ideas
which have given rise to the plans for
the playground.
At the meeting of the committee. held
at the Bank of Hawaii yesterday, it
was decided that the Rev John osborne
should be asked to suggest a plan.
After that stage has been passed the
contracts for filling and planting win
be let and work will go on at once.
The report of the treasurer shows
subscriptions and donations to have
come in amounting to something close
to $1,000, and the lowest bid for filing
is $5,20O The local committe will be
called together at once and the eollec-
ton of money subscribed pushed for

COIN FOR
TREASURY
ARRIVES

The territorial treasury was enriched
yesterday by the addition of $40, 900 in
shining gold pieces The money was
received from the First National bank,
the draft upon the United States treas
ury for the amount due for interest
upon bonds having been paid in San
Francisco. The bank learned by the
Alameda's mail that the money had
been paid, and Treasurer Cooper was
notified that the gold was ready to be
turned over to the territory.
The money will be used in the pay
ment of fire. claims, though it has not
been decided yet as to when this pro-
rata will be made. There is some ques-
ton as to the legality of payment while
the insurance claims are pending in
court, and it may be decided to wait
until the Supreme Court has given a
decision upon the question, the cases
having been argued last week.
Treasurer Cooper stated yesterday
that he had the matter under consider
alton, but that no action had as yet
been decided upon. The $4,000 will
permit of 10 per cent payment upon
the total amount of the fire awards.

-FOUR SUGAR PLANTATIONS
ARE TO BE CONSOLIDATED
CURE FOR
L.EPROSY
DISCOVERED

VICTORIA B, C9, October 4-Robert
McWade, u. S. Consul at Canton, arrived
here from Canton bound to Washington,
full particulars of a discovery which will
be of the greatest interest to the world
DR.. Razlag, Vienna medical man, who
was for some time connected with the U.
S. Army Medical Corps in the Philippines
has discovered cure for leprosy, and ex-
periments conducted by the doctor at Can
ton have proved the efficacy of his discov-
cry as a cure for the malignant disease,
whose ravages are so serious. Heretofore
the disease has been regarded as incur
able, and the unfortunates who contracted
leprosy have been housed apart from their
fellows, living as people already dead, un-
til the inroads of the disease brought
death.
'.Dr. Razlag" says Mr.. McWade, who
has been conducting experiments in the
Philippines and at Canton, more recently,
has succeeded in discovering a cure for
leprosy. This is authentic, in fact I have
with me, consigned to Washington, full
particulars describing the discovery and
the results. Fourteen cases were treat
ed with success by DR.. Razlag at Can
friend, had some new houses, a hospital
as it were, specially built for DR.. Razlag,
and the people upon whom the doctor
operated were there segregated from their
fellows and no communication allowed
with them. DR.. Razlag was given no help
cines and clothes from his own pocket,
for none of the friends of the lepers ever
offer any assistance after the disease
breaks out, the Chinese leper being an
outcast. His people, relatives and friends
cast him out, and DIR. Razlag in order to
continue his experiments was able to get
a number of typical cases where the dis
ease had been well advanced, and with
fourteen patients under treatment he de-
veloped his discovery, which makes an
other mark in the wonders of this CEN
tury''
Mr.. McWade says he is carrying to
Washington a report covering all details
! of the subject. The method of treatment
was covered by DR.. Razlag in the report
The method of treatment lies chiefly in
massage and frequent baths in fresh and
salt water and medicated baths with in
ternal medicines. DIR. Razlag; who was
formerly a prominent physician of Wen
ma, went to the Philippines as an officer
of the United States Medical Corps so that
he might be enabled to continue his ex-
periments on which he has been working
for years. in the treatment of leprosy, and
he resigned from the United States corps
in order to complete his work at Canton.

The Hawaiian Securities Company
Incorporated Under New
Jersey Laws.
Majority of Stock of Brewer & Co. Estates Will
Be Placed in Control of Corporation
Listed on New York Exchange.

The Hawaiian Securities Company,
owning the controlling interest in four
representative Hawaiian plantations,
organized under the laws of New Jer-
sey with capital of S12, 900, 900, will be
the next corporation which will appeal
to the investors of the United States,
and from the outlook for the corpora
ton it will have a standing second to
none and will be listed at once upon the
New York exchange. Steps in fact
have already been taken looking to
that end.
The plan is one which has been en-
gaging the best thought of the direc-
tors of Messrs. c. Brewer & Company
for some time, and having controlling
interest with friends in four plahta-
tions which embrace all the features
necessary to a successful consolidation,
the plan for the new security company
was thought out. AS the matter stands
at present the company will hold con-
'trol of the stock though perhaps not all,
and these stocks are to constitute the
capital of the new company, somewhat
as the Makaweli company holds stocks
of the Hawaiian Sugar Company.
The corporation will be organized in
Jersey City, with capital of S12, ,O0O, 600,
of par value of $100 a share, the stock
being divided into $4,000 shares Of pre-
ferred, stock to carry non-cumulative
dividends of per cent per annum, and
$4,000 shares of common stock, to par
tieipate in all earnings above the
amount necessary to pay the dividend
on the preferred stock. According to

& Company, all the fgurfng which has
been done upon the placing of the
stocks of the four plantations in this
pool, the preferred stock has been fig
ured at par, and the common stock at
$780, This latter is purely a speculative
value, but there is excellent backing for
the arguments which have had to do
with the decision leading up to the
plan.

Honomu Sugar Company of Hilo dis
trict are the four plantations which will

by the improvements now going on,
such as the new railroad from the mill
