TO HAMAKUA
NOEAU TAKING SHIPMENT TO
HONOKAA.
Thirteen Bridges Gone Between Homo
kaa and Laupahoehoe-Muc Lumber
Ordered From Hilo

A big shipment of lumber is being
sent away on the steamer NOeau this
afternoon to HOnOkaa, to be used i'm
replacing and repairing the various
bridges along the Hamakua coast,
which were either washed away en-
tirely, or damaged in the recent fresh
cts.
About $4,000 feet of lumber We're sent
on the vessel. This included some
braces and portions of bridge work,
which had already been put together
here.
In spite of the fact that efforts were
made to repair the damage immediate
ly, and open up direct road commune
cation between Hamakua and Hilo,
vehicles cannot be driven from Hama
kua into Hilo. The trip can be at
tempted only on horseback, under much
difficulty and by cirCuitous routes. No
less than thirteen bridges were washed
out between HOnOkaa and LaupahOe-
hoe. The lumber on the Noeau is to be
discharged at Honokaa landing, and is
intended for Neinei gulch.
About 100000 feet of lumber was to
have been sent from the Hilo mills to
be used in the repairs along Hamakua,
but whether this supply has been de-
liVered, can not be stated.
Captain Sam Mana took the schoon-
eT KauikeaOuH to Laval gulch, Kauai
today, with a load of lumber. The lum-
Der is to be used in making repairs
it is said, at various points in that
vicinity of the island. All of the out
going steamers to Hamakua and Kauai
have been taking more or less lumber
so that the damaged bridges can be
repaired.

many TALES HEARD
BOARD OF HEALTH COURT AT
KALAUPAPA
over 100 Pages of Testimony Taken
Regarding the Death of Pilipo-Over
Twenty Witnesses Examined.

The Board of Health special COM
mittee held court yesterday at the
leper settlement for seven hours, in
vestigating the death of the leper Pill
pO, whose case was brought to the at
tention of the board by Ambrose
Hutchinson. The session began at
eight in the morning and closed at
three i'm the afternoon. Attorney Cen
eral Dole, DR.. Pratt and DR.. Moore
comprised the committee, with Judge
Wilcox as Interpreter and d. H. Case
as stenOgrapher.
The sessions at MolOkai were open,
and were attended by many people. The
investigation was very thorough and
the transcript of testimony will be
lengthy. Case and another stenOgra-
pher are now working on it, but it will
not be ready for the meeting of the
Board of Health this afternoon. The
committee will probably report at the
meeting next week.
All those having any knowledge of
the charges brought by Hutchinson,
which are regarded as intended to be
against Superintendent Reynolds, We're
given a hearing, and told what they
knew of the Imprisonment and death
of PilipO. The members of the COM
mittee all took part in the questioning
and general invitation to anyone who
knew anything of the case was extend
ed, to come forward and testify
Hutchinson, DR.. Oliver, the police, the
companion of the dead man, who was
imprisoned with him and Superintend-
ent Reynolds were the principal wit
nesses. The occasion was quite an in
teresting one for the lepers, who found
a days diversion in watching and lis
tening to the proceedings of the
court"
The Lehua left here at o'clock Mon
day afternoon, and arrived off Kalau-
papa, shortly after o'clock yesterday
morning. The committee went ashore
and conducted the inquiry, and left for
Honolulu about 4 p. m. Tuesday.

NO MORE FUMIGATING
DIR. COFERs SATISFACTORY OR
DER.
Baggage of Passengers win Not be
Required to be Fumigated-Ord
Went Into Effect Yesterday.

The quarantine restrictions which
nave had TO be maintained at this port
FOR months past are now pau. This
order went into effect yesterday. 1t
was not an April fool joke, but a real
bona tide order from DR.. Cofer, the
head of the Federal quarantine service
and Will be the cause for universal re-
jOicing.
The health condition of the port has
steadily been improving, and matters
reached such a favorable point, that
Or. COfer decided the latter part of
last month, that If everything was
healthy and there was nothing in the
general health to prevent his giving
clean bills of health without the neces-
sary fumigating, he would discontinue
the strict regulations. Matters con-
tinued as he anticipated, and the re-
suit was that the order was given yes
terday, that in future no more fumi-
eating would have to be conducted.
This means that outgoing passengers
VIII not be required to apply to the
Office Of the quarantine officer to re-
ceive health orders permitting them to
depart from Honolulu, nor will their
baggage have to be disinfected, as for
merly.
The order also extends to sailing ves-
sells. Vessels which arrived here prior
to April l. will be required to be fumi-
gated, but those which made port yes
terday and thereafter will not have to
undergo that annoying treatment
There are twelve vessels now in port
which arrived before April 1, and they
will be required to be fumigated.

CREDITORS meeting
AFFAIRS OF OREGON BUILDING
DISCUSSED.
Several Liens Against the Building
Some of Which Are Involved With Old
Accounts.

A meeting of creditors who have liens
on the newly finished Oregon building
on Hotel street, next to the Elite buliu-
ing and opposite the blank portion of
the property on which the Young build
ing stands. was held last night in the
rooms of the Master Builders AssOcia-
ton at five thirty lasting until nearly
seven o'clock. There were about fifteen
creditors and others present among
them j. LandO. l.. A. Rostin, V. HOff-
mann and j. F. Riley owners and con-
tractors for the building and E. L.
Spalding of Claus SpreckelsNand Com
pany; Hugh McKechnie W. Larsen, w.
w. Harris and others representing Gre
ditors and mortgage holders.
The Oregon building was promoted by
LandO, Rostin, Riley and Hoffman, and
a lease secured of the land on which it
stands. The lease runs for twenty-five
years, carries a rent of $40O a month
the building at the end reyerting to the
owner. j. j. sullivan. The building
was erected by Hoffman, and Riley
part owners, who acted as contractors.
The Claus Spreckels bank holds a
mortgage for the sum of $4,000 and
there is said to be some $4,000 outstand-
ing indebtedness. w. Larsen is a Gre
ditOT to the extent of some $500 for haul
ing and other matters and the McKech-
ME Paint and Wall paper Company
have a lien against the building An
amount was paid to McKeChnie for the
Oregon building by Hoffman, and Riley
but there was a previous account and
MCKeChnie credited the money received
to that still leaving the lien on the
building. There are other amounts oW-
ing for contracts big and small.
The meeting last night was somewhat
prOtracted. 1t was resolved to call in
where possible, itemized accounts Oh ,Ae
creditors or contract price as the case
might be- 1t is said that some of the
contracts and bills have been paid With
out discrimination. A further meeting
of the creditors will be called this week
possibly tonight, it being stated last
night that the matter would probably
be settled in four or five days.
The exact status of the partners i'm
the enterprise towards each other and
the creditors of Hoffman, and Riley as
contractors for the Oregon building
and for other contracts is somewhat
involved. w. w. Harris of Levers and
Cooke will act as the representative of
Hoffman, and Riley's creditors at the
next meeting. The proposition of the
building is said to be a good one. The
rentals bring in some 5000 a month, and
allow a liberal rate of interest on the
invested capital.
The creditors are said to be willing
to exercise due lenience in the affair
and will go as far as they can without
losing their own protection I'm the mat

DOCK COMPANY ADVANCES THE
MONEY.
win BE a Hundred Feet Wide and
Eight Hundred Feet Long -Enlarging
The Kinau Wharf.

superintendent of Public Works J. H.
Boyd has plans ready for the building
of the new wharf at HilO and improve
ment of the Kinau wharf now there
The new wharf is to be a large one,
well constructed though it is being
built by private capital, il viii eventual
ly become the property Of the govern
ment.
The Hno Dock Company has agreed
to put up the money for the cOnstruC-
ton of the wharf About $50, 900 will be
needed. The wharf is to be close to the
Kinau wharf and on government land.
1t will be 100 feet wide and 800 feet long
and viii be a first class wharf in every
respect, enabling large steamers and
sailing vessels to discharge directly at
Hilo, instead of using lighters. The es-
tablishment of the steamship line giving
Hilo direct communication with the
coast made such a wharf a necessity,
and as the government had no money
rather than do without a wharf, a num-
Der of enterprising Hilo men decided to
put up the cash themselves 1t is un-
derstoOd that when the government
does get the money, it may take the
wharf. In the meantime, the construc-
tion is to be under the supervision of
the department of Public Works and
the wharf will be under government
control.
The Kinau wharf at Hilo has been
found to be in serious condition, Ow-
ing to the rOtting of piles. HilO divers
reported Is of them gone. Boyd sent
two divers with apparatus from Homo
lulu and the number of piles gone was
found to be 80. These will be replaced
at once. and the wharf will be extended
80 feet longer. This will make it pos
sible for the Kinau to lay on the lee side
and discharge in all kinds of weather
AS it is now, the steamer cannot stay at
the wharf if there is a bit of wind or
even a heavy swell, as the open sea
sends her humping into the wharf with
every wave. The extension of the
wharf will give the Kinau a berth on
the other side and Obviate the necessity
of putting out to anchorage whenever
the sea gets a tritle rough.

WANTS INJUNCTION
ABLEs' SUIT AGAINST
FALK.
Judge Gear Asked to Stop the Sale of
Falk's Seat in The Honolulu Stock
Exchange.

The suit of l.. c.. Ables against c. j.
Falk, in which an injunction is asked to
restrain Falk from selling his stock
Exchange seat for the benefit of his
creditors, was heard by Judge Gear
this morning, and submitted. The only
testimony taken was that Of Abes who
! described the deal with Falk by which
he claims to have acquired lien upon
the seat.
Ables said that he ordered 30 shares
of Waialua stock from Falk, in Sep
| tember 1900, at $12O a share, $50 paid up.
He gave Falk the money to buy it, and
| but only got 80 shares Falk promising
to get the stock later. Finally Falk
gave the memorandum, pledging his
seat i'm the Stock Exchange as security.
The memorandum was introduced in
evidence
was the stock worth $12O?" asked
Judge Gear.
II suppose it was then" said Ables.
81 thought it was anyhow or else /
wouldn't have paid that price"
There was a long argument between
George A. Davis and Wilder and Bige-
low over the question of values. 1t was
claimed that the stock had gone down
now. and Ables doesn't want to accept
20 shares Of Waialua. At the rate at
which he proposed to buy them they
were worth $1,000 and he wants $1,000
now or $4,000 worth of stock. Bigelow
and Wilder contended that all Ables
was entitled to in any event if he had
a good hold on the Stock Exchange
seat, was 20 shares of Waialua. The
question was left to the court.
The sale Of Falks seat, for the benefit
of creditors has been advertised and
AbIes is seeking to enforce prior claim
on it,

Ever since yesterday afternoon about
8 o'clock, the police have had their
hands full, trying to prevent an insane
Chinese from taking his life. The fell
low, whose name is See LeOng Sung,
was tished out of the water yeIteTday
by Brewers wharf. He made two at
tempts to drown himself but on each
occasion, natives saw his danger and
saved his life After the second at
tempt at suicide, they gave him up as a
hard proposition, and sent for the pa
troll wagon.
At the police station, the Chinese
dashed himself against the walls of the
cell and tried in every way, to end his
existence. DR.. Emerson, the physician
of the receiving hospital attended the
man but the patient Immediately be-
came worse. So violent did the Chinese
become that it was found necessary to
place him under restraint and a police
officer had to be detailed to keep a
close watch over him. TWice this
morning did the Chinese try to hang
himself Finally handouts We're placed
on the crazy man, and his ankles We're
also manacled.
When questioned by Deputy High
Sheriff Chiuingworth, who, is quite
| a Chinese linguist, the sick man
stated that he had worked i'm Ma
noa valley and his name was See Leong
Sung. He said he was 81 years of age.
No more information concerning his
| life and habits, could be secured. The
police were very anxious to secure the
attendance of Dr. Emerson, i'm order
to have the insane man committed to
the asylum.
