COMM SSION
WORK ON MUNICIPAL
BILLS

The Republican commission, appoint
ed to draft bills to provide for county
and city governments. got down to
work yesterday in earnest, The second
meeting Of the flye men comprising the
body was held in the Office of w. o.
Smith, and organization was effected
by the selection of Mr.. Smith as chair
man of the body. There was a full at
tendance, and in addition Joseph G..
Pratt was there at the invitation of the
members of the commission.
The discussion of the work before the
members proceeded on general lines.
The resolution under which they were
named provides that there shall be one
bill for the creation of counties and an
other under which such cities or towns
as by vote shall signify their desire to
erect municipalities shall have the
right so to do. 1t was the opinion of
the members that there should be the
most simple forms used and that the
bills primarily should be drawn in
skeleton form, so that there might be
filled in the various provisions which
will insure measures fitted to local
conditions.
Mr.. Pratt was then secured by the
commission to draft the two measures
and he viii get at the work immedi-
ately. He win be guided by the recent
Wyoming legislation based on that of
New York, and the program of the Ma
tional Municipal League. In every
sense the bills will be made as simple
as possible, so that they will form an
organic law upon which will be based
the full and complete structure of local
governments. The commission will
meet next when Mr.. Pratt has COM
pleted his draft of the county bill for
the consideration of the committee.

CONSUL AND MISSIONARY.
The American Representative at Ia
hlti Will Do Religious Work.

Los ANGELES, Sept 24.-The Los
Angeles Presbytery today ordained as
Minister of the Gospel, VIM. r. Doty,
the newly appointed United States Con-
sui to Tahiti. The situation is a unique
one. both in the religious and political
world, as the government usually holds
that such officials cannot fill two posi-
tions at one time, but while in It's en-
ploy must drop all other business,
spiritual as well as temporal.
When Rev. Doty came to present his
credentials to the State Department
however, strenuous objections were
made to the ministerial work which he
had in view. The applicant had his own
ideas of the amount of work which
would be required there, and made such
good exhibition of the light duties of
the place that Colonel J. J. McCook
finally surged that he be accepted and
allowed to do as he thought best in the
matter. Secretary Hay took this under
advisement and finally reported favor
ably. Tomorrow Rev. Doty sails from
San Francisco for his far-off island
home

ROOSEVELT FORCED
TO ABANDON TRIP

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 23.-Pfesident
Roosevelt was compelled this afternoon
to abandon his tour through the North
west ard submit to hurried operation
for a rapidly forming abscess in his
left leg, the result of the recent trolley
accident at Pittsfleld, Mass. He is now
being hurried to Washington on his
special train. In the Pittsfield acci-
dent the President received an injury
to his leg, of which he said nothing at
the time and which he has carefully
concealed from the public, fearing un-
due alarm on the part of his friends
and unrest on the stock exchange.
For days the President has been suf
fering great pain, but he has continued
to make speeches ard to follow out the
program of his tour. He showed his
calmness and nerve today in sacrificing
himself to save the stock market and
the Wall street operators, that their
securities might not be involved in a
disastrous financial crash. All day the
President, against the advice of his
physicians, insisted on continuing with
the days speeeh-making. Every move
ment was agony, but he made six
speeches and remained on his feet for
three hours and half to keep the news
of his illness from becoming generally
known until after the close of the New
York Stock Exchange. He had intend
ed to keep up the struggle until y. M,
but at 3:35 p. m. his suffering became
so severe that DR.. George A. Lung, who
is attending him, insisted on an immi-
diate operation. When he was assured
that the stock market had been closed
for fifteen minutes he submitted TO the

BANKERS BUY BONDS OF
THE H|LO HALLWAY
COMPANY

Before leaving in the Sierra Tues
day the representatives of Rollins &
Company, bankers, completed a deal
whereby they showed their faith in
Hawaiian securities Beside purchases
of Olaa stock personally by each mem
Der of the company who was here. Vice
President Bachelor of the banking
house bought S12s,OOo of the bonds of
the Hilo Railroad Company
This is probably only the first install
ment of purchases of the same security,
but it was of sufficient amount to show
their faith in the property, and was
made after the most searching investi-
cation into the road and its surround
ings. The bonds were purchased at a
good price which Is not given out, and
will go into the hands of the customers
of the house both in San Francisco and
the East. The purchases were made
of the B. F. Dillingham; Company, as
all the bonds of the road have been
placed by the company.
1t is understood that the investiga-
tions of the bankers viii bear fruit in
the near future in other investments
here, and that they left with the great
est confidence in the islands and the
industries.

Board Of Health Is
Considering
Action.
SAID TO MENACE
PUBLIC HEALTH
City Sanitary Officer Tracy Makes
Report on Burial Grounds
Within City.

The Board of Health is considering
the advisability of closing city ceme-
teries which are menace to the pub
lie health. Acting upon the suggestion
made at former meeting City Sani-
tary Officer Tracy presented a report
yesterday upon the conditions and sur
roundings of each cemetery, with a
view to guiding the board in it's action
The report says that there are 1--WE
cemeteries inside the mile limit, name
iy: Kawaiahao, Catholic. Pauoa
Church, Hook Chu Co.. and Yee King
Tong.
Outside the mile limit. but inside the
city limits. are: Makiki, Nuuanu, Ka-
laepohaku. Also there are the Chinese
cemetery, in Manoa valley. the Manoe.
Church cemetery, the Diamond Head
cemetery and the Waikiki Church GEM
etery; also the Kalihi Church cemetery.
the Kalihi-waena (Catholic) cemetery,
Pueo and Kaumakapili.
Kawaiahao cemetery is said to be the
oldest in the city. and though there are
but 575 graves In sight, over FIVE times
that number of people are buried there.
There is no drainage to any source of
gested portion of the city and for this
reason the sanitary officer thinks it
should be closed.
The Catholic cemetery on King street
is also crowded and the Mission has
practically ceased burying in this place.
Bodies are often buried in the same
grave, one on top of another, and at a
less depth than six feet. A portion at
least is said to be unfit for use. because
the water from it drains into ponds,
where natives fish.
Pauoa Church cemetery on Pauoa
road is very old and the Hook Chu Co.
cemetery also adjoins the Pauoa
church. Both adioin the school prem
ises and should be closed.
Makiki cemetery on Pensacoia street
and Wilder avenue has about 2.5s2
burials and the cemetery slopes toward
Pensacola street, the neighborhood be-
ing well settled.
Nuuanu cemetery on Judd street is
not more than half filed and the resi-
dences in the neighborhood are few in
number, and have large grounds. The
Yee King Tong Association cemetery
on Punchbowl slope is just above the
Portuguese settlement. 1t has been in
use for twenty years, and there are few
graves owing to the Chinese custom of
sending the bones OF deceased relatives
to China.
The Manoa cemetery (Chinese) is
only about half fun but the city sani-
tary officer recommends that no burials
be permitted within fifty feet of wa
ter ditch that runs through the land.
He adds, "A thrifty Chinaman is cul
tivating part of the cemetery and
raising pineapples between the graves"
Kalaepohaku cemetery. above the in
sane asylum. has but one Objectionable
feature-severaI springs at its base
may be polluted by seepage.
Pueo cemetery at Palama Is reported
to be practically isolated. while Kau-
mapili Church cemetery is in thickly
populated section.
Kalihi-waena Catholic cemetery and
MISUNDERSTANDING cemetery do not
drain toward any stream or pond.
There were 725 burials at all the GEM
eterles during the year which closed
October 1st. The report was referred
to the cemetery committee,

Terms With the Cable Men Likely to Be
Satisfactory---The Henderson Case

understanding of the situation.
THE PACIFIC. CABLE.
The Department Of Justice has no
further information about the accept
ance of its terms for the laying of a
Pacific cable from San Francisco to
Honolulu and Manila. It is expected
that the cable company will either ac-
cept the terms prescribed for the land
ing of the cable or secure some modi-
fications before the work is undertake

Knox as well as of President Roose-
Welt from Washington has prevented
the continuance of negotiations. Mr..
Knox is expected back here from Paris
in few days and President Roosevelt
wilt return to Washington for the sea-
son in about two weeks. or by October
7. ~ lille there is no definite informa-
tion about it there is a feeling that the

BRINGS HIS FAMILY
McDonald's Guards, Vassals and
Retainers All Come to Court.
HE WANTS EN- TALK TO THE G. j.
AIcDonald's Friends Say There's q
Conspirncy-The Other
Sides story.

Workhouse guards, cooks, farmers and
other attaches were at the courthouse this
morning to testify before the grand jury.
Many had not been served with subpoe-
mas. Superintendent Mcdonald had given
the jury a copy Of his monthly payroll
and asked that all be summoned The
jury did not deem it proper to withdraw
everyone except the prisoners, so McDon-
aid brought them all down himself, or at
least all who had not previously testified.
It's just as we'll that they are here, :
remarked the superintendent. You cant
tell how far the jury may want to go into
this matter. They may want to hear all
sides and its just as we'll to have the
witnesses handy
It is possible that the members OF the
grand jury have been appraised Of the
fact that Quartermaster Hoben Is not
thoroughly en- rapport with his chief. 1t
will be the task of the jury to ascertain
whether this is the fault of Mcdonald
or Hoben.
There is said to be total lack of dis
cipline at the institution. Friends of the
superintendent cannot believe that he Is
at fault. They say he has been fore
man at the Milwaukee railway shops for
a general ton and has had control of a
great many persons without friction. So
it is contended by McDonald's friends that
there is conspiracy. to get him out OF
office in order that the position may be
open for some one else. It is added that
if Mcdonald were permitted to select his
own assistants there would be no trouble
On the other hand, 1t is said that Nc
Donald is incompetent on account of his
inexperience and lack OF adaptability. He
is accused Of being erratic and careless
to such an extent that everything is at
odds and ends, and that many abuses and
irregularities not conducive to good dis
cipline and a business administration
have sprung I'D. J....Z

GALL TO DR.. BURTON
An Eastern Institution Reported to
Be Reaching for Him.
not KNOWN THAT HE'LL ACCEPT
His Work at the State University
Has Met With Wide
Success.

1t was reported yesterday that DR.. Rich
ard Burton, the popular professor OF Eng
lish literature lat the university OF Min
nesota had received a fattering offer
from prominent eastern educational in
stitution. The report seems we'll au-
thenticated.
The news that the offer would be &C
cepted, would be received with regret by
the faculty and students with whom DR..
Burton is very popular, as well as by his
many friends in Minneapolis, st. Paul
and the northwest.
DR.. Richard Burton delivered course
Of lectures at the university in the spring
Of 1898 and during the summer of that
year was called to the chair of litera ture.
From the first his popularity has been
unbounded. His enthusiasm and devotion
to the highest and best in literature has
awakened an interest never before known
at the university. His classes, large
at first, have increased in size until no
lecture room at the university was large
enough to seat all the students and 1t
was only recently by the union of two
large class rooms that all students could
be accommodated. DR.. Burton's courses
have all been live ones treating litter
ature in its broadcast sense. !. Among them
have been courses in fiction, American
literature, Bible as literature. modern
poets, and he is now giving new course
in modern prose. In his seminar and
graduate courses, DR.. Burton has offered
for the first time in the institution a
course in journalism which has proved OF
great value
DR.. Burton has also brought popularity
to. himself and to the university by the
excellent courses Of lectures that he has
given in Minneapolis and the larger cities
of the northwest.

COASTED INTO A WAGON
SMALL BOYS BADLY INJURED
The Life of One Was Dispalred

Recover. ...- -....

Two little boys, Seeman Kaplan, living
at 2436 Pierce street NE, and Willie San
ders, whose home is at 1902 Fillmore
street NE, were seriously hurt in coast
ing accident at Twenty-ffth avenue NE
and Taylor street. There is long hill
there extending from Johnson street to
Polk, a distance of seven or eight blocks,
where the boys coast. Yesterday after
noon some eight or ten boys were coming
down the hill at terrific speed on big
bob sled owned by Roy Young. AS they
neared Taylor street they saw horse
and wagon coming. The driver, Jim
Sheppard, did not turn out In time and
the flying bob collided with the rig head
on. the sled going under the horses feet
and beneath the wagon
The boys in front, strange to say, were
unhurt, but two little fellows near the
rear of the bob were terribly cut up. See
man Kaplan, who is only T. had his front
teeth broken and was badly cut about the
mouth and face. The Sanders boy, who is
g, was more seriously injured and fears
were entertained for his recovery last
night, but he is out of danger this morn
ing. He was struck on the head by the
horses heels and had his jaw broken, be-
sides being severely bruised about the

BACK FROM FIGHT
John Crosby Returns From Trip in
Interests Of Flour Shippers.
THOSE LONDON DOCK CHARGES
Given a Full and Fair
Hearing.

John Crosby returned yesterday from
a two weeks trip to Washington, where he
appeared before the Interstate and foreign
commerce committee of the house and tn.
commerce committee of the senate in be-
half Of the Minneapolis four exporting in
terests in connection with the London
dockage case.
Flour, wheat, lumber and other large
exporters of the country have Joined in
a movement to secure legislation prohibit
ing the insertion of the so-called London
clause in bills of lading of all exports
consigned to London from North Atlantic
ports. This clause carries an excess
charge above the regular cost of transpor-
tat1on OF 31a cents per barrel on flour and
on other goods in proportion. 1t is a pure
~ arbitrary charge made by the steamship
companies since 1883 and Is equivalent to
just so much extra profit for them. The
tribute that the flour interests Of the
country alone have paid in the years that
the London clause has been in effect is
estimated at about $S,0O00OO. The charge
has no warrant or authority in the Eng
fish law, and the parties interested in
having it wiped out say congress has the
legal right to interfere under its au-
thority to regulate commerce.
Mr.. Crosby says the Minnesota repre-
sentetives In congress took hold of the
matter with interest and are doing all
in their power to+give the relief desired.
Senator Nelson has introduced the senate
bill and Mr.. Tawney is father of the house
bill providing for an amendment to the
I!arter act that will eliminate the London
clause from bills Of lading. The repre-
sentatives of the various interests max
ing the fight were given every chance to
state their case, Mr.. Crosby says, and the
hearings were full and fair The ship
owners were on hand in force and made an
elaborate, defense Of their system of dock
charges.

TRAINING WILD ANIMALS
Animals Bred in Captivity Harder to

81 suppose we shall have to rid our
selves of the notion that looking at lion
in the eye will break his proud spirit
and send him sinking into corner en-
barrassed to death. I have tried to stare
lions out of CONTAMINATION this side
of the bars, of course-and they stood II
for as much as five minutes before they
turned away with supercilious express
sion that seemd to say: Well, hope
you'll know me next time you see me-
The idea Of that whiffet trying to make
mash on mel I am convinced that IN
those five minutes, If had been inside the
cage, I should have been completely un-
fitted for business.
Another notion Is that wild animals
are unreasonably afraid of fire. They are
not more afraid of fire than of any other
strange thing, and when they learn how 1t
can hurt-well even we will move over
the least little bit to avoid red-hot
poker.
There have been great improvements
in the art of training wild animals with
in the last few years. Merely to go into
the cage and hold its occupants at bay
for a few minutes while attendants with
sizzling hot bars stood ready to thrust
them in and quell an outbreak was con-
sidered the top notch Of achievement not
so very long ago. But nowadays they
build big cages in which there is room for
lions and tigers to do all sorts OF trieksc
