JAP PANESE DOCTORS
BOARD OF HEALTH DOES NOT
WANT THEM.
Government Physician on Kauai Want
ed To Employ One TO Assist In His
Work.

The Board of Health yesterday after
noon sat down on the proposition Of
employing a Japanese physician to as
sist in government work. DR.. w. r.
Waughop, government physician at
Hanalei, petitiOned to be allowed to
employ a Jap to help him, as he could
not always handle all the work, but the
request was refused.
DR.. WaughOp reported that at times
he could not cover all his district and
that even with the assistance of his
father, who Is also a physician, he
sometimes needed more help. He
thought that if he could employ a Jap
anese physician he could get along all
right. The doctor offered to pay the
Jap out of his own pocket, but the
Board didn't want any. Jap doing gov
ernment work as a physician.
Dr. WaughOp is the government ply
sician at Hanalei and Kealia, Kauai,
and has his office and home in Kealia.
He wanted to have the Jap help him
in Hanalei. The Board of Health was
unanimous in refusing the request, and
the doctor will have to get other help,
or do the work himself.

TO FACILITATE VOTING.
MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO SUB
DIVIDE PRECINCTS.
Fourth and Fifth Districts Will Prob
ably Adopt the Idea-Casting and
Counting Ballots will be simplifeG.

A movement Is on foot to subdivide
the various voting precincts of the
fourth and fifth districts, into which the
island of oahu is divided, with a view
to facilitate both the casting and
counting of ballots In the fall election.
Some days ago J. H. Fisher, Secretary
of the Central Committee wrote to
George r. Carter, chairman of the Fif-
tn District Committee asking him TO
take up and cooperate in the matter.
There are seven precincts In the Fourth
District which practically means the
half og the island Waikiki of a line
drawn up Nuuanu street and across the
island. In several Of these the cOndi-
tions are crowded and it is thought that
subdivision will greatly facilitate mat
ters.
The second precinct of the fourth for
example covering Punahou to Alapai
streets from the muntain to the sea,
holds some twelve hundred voters, nine
hundred of which voted at the last
election. This is j. H. Fishers own
precinct ana will in his estimation be
badly cOngested this election besides
materially delaying the returns unless
a subdivision of some sort Is arranged.
The subdivision, which would be
made by order of the Secretary of the
Territory is perfectly legal in view OF
there being yet plenty of time in which
to give the necessary notice of such
action. Chairman of the Fifth District
Committee, George r. Carter has re-
piled to Colonel Fisher stating that ne
will endeaVOr to secure the cooperation
of his district in the matter and las
also written to prominent men in the
various precincts, of which there are
ten in the fifth district, consulting them
as to their opinions on the advisability
and feasibility of such a proposition.
The most urgent need for change is ap-
parently in the second precinct Of the
Fourth but 1t has been considered wise
to carry out the matter thoroughly
while attending it. Opinions on need
ed changes will be considered and ac-
tive measures taken within few days
to make such alterations as will great
ly lessen the trouble of casting ballots
and the time usually taken up on MAX
/ ing returns to headquarters. This lat
ter amendment appears likely to prove
popular not only to those who object to
| waiting lengthy turn at the polling
| booths but also desire to know what the
returns for the island are concerning
their candidate without staying up be-
yOnd their usual bedtime.
With the wireless telegraphy working
between the islands the gathering OF
the returns at the capitol city will be
! a much simplified affair this year, the
averaging of results consuming only a
few hours after closing the polls instead
Of waiting the week end to hear from
| the other districts.

HEALANI'S new SHELL
BOAT ARRIVES SAFELY FROM
ENGLAND.
Oarsmen Delighted With Their New
House To Pay For Same.

The new Healani racing shell arriv-
ed on the Sierra in first Ciass condition
after It's long journey from England.
1t was carefully unpacked under the
supervision of coaches A. l.. &. Atkin-

take away the accumulated dust and
dirt of the long voyage.
The oxford builders demonstrated
their ability as packers, not a rib hav-
ing started or an inch of the sheatng
bumped or dented. The Myrtles were
much less fortunate with their shell
coming from America, which arrived
here in bad condition, necessitating re-
pairs by the local boat builder. The
Myrtle shell will never be as good as
when it left the yard.
The English model is built by Ruff
of ChrisLchurch. oxford, and differs
somewhat from the American. Thole
pins take the place of OarlOCks and the
seats are not in perfect alignment, thus
giving more freCbOard. The whole boat
is stiffer than the American shells and
is capable of good work and excellent
results for at least three years. The

not sent on for particularly light or
fast boat, stability being desired in
conjunction with a good model.
The English oars of spruce are thick
er in the grip and fined in the blade
than the American, a difference which
gives better handling to the crew. The
officers of the club are delighted with
ther new acquisition which now gives
the club two good shells with no pros
pect of fresh outlay in that direction
for a year or so. The crew will be
shipped in the new shell tonight at
practice
The freight on the shell from Eng
land was an expensive item, adding
something like $3.50 to the original cost.
The total bill to be footed by the club
should be about $780, an amount which
it is hoped will be covered by the pro-
fits of the Healani entertainment at the
Opera House on Saturday evening,

Governor Dole will give out in the

generally setting forth just what Is

CORLISS BILL KILLED. .DREAD OF KITCHENER
BUREAUCRATs DON'T WANT HIM
IN LONDON.
Shipping Him Off To India Under The
Guise OF Promotion An Expedient To
Keep Him Away.

LONDON, June I'm all the hurrah
over Lord Kitchener, who is the man
of the hour throughout the British em-
pire, there is an element of dread Of the
infleXibility of purpose controlling him
in military matters. This is especially
noticeable at the War Office. 1t Is we'll
known there that his opinion of the
army organization is not flattering, and
he has often expressed himself regard
ing the average army officer in terms
of undisguised commiseration.
This dread of him felt by the military
organization is due to the refusal Of
Lord Kitchener to allow any political
or partisan consideration to affect him
in any military problem he may have
to solve. Men of this type are not ac-
ceptable to the governing class in Brit
ain. Chamberlain in the civilian and
Lord Kitchener in the military arena
are most conspicuous Illustrations.
Both reach their ends by methods quite
alarming to the bureaucracy and red
tape regime.
Lord Kitchener is as truly needed to
turn the British army organization in
side out as is Chamberlain to revolu-
tionize the old Tory tactics. For this
very reason, however, it is likely that
some years must elapse before the hero
of the Soudan and South Africa will be
allowed to get much nearer London for
administrative purposes than he is
now
The plan to ship him off to India,
under the guise of promotion, is really
a device of those who fear his iron
hand at home. No one pretends for a
moment that Lord Roberts can do any
thing worth doing in the way of army
reform. He is a failure in that respect.
BrOdrick's excellent intentions have
not yet been effectual. Kitchener, the
man for the work, is the one man
whom the governing class will not al"
low to do If
