BATHING HABIT
DECLARES THAT
WASHING CAUSES COLDS, PNEU-
MONA AND OTHER ILLS.

CHICAGO, December 10.-"When
people leave off bathing there win be
little or nothing for the doctors to do
Pneumonia, colds and a hundred other
ills result from the foolish habit Of
washing the body To battle is to be
dirty, for you thereby make a sewer
of the skin. Blood, attracted by the
skin. gives up products that should be
left to seek a natural outlet, and soils

The foregoing declarations, made by
Professor John Dill Robertson at the
annual meeting of the Chicago Ec-
lectic and Surgical Society at the Au-
ditorium, has aroused the interest of
the members.
Professor Robertson asserted that
the theory that the closing of the pores
of the skin would result in death is
false. He said that all physiologies
which made such an assertion were
wrong. The habit of taking dry
baths was also denounced The rub
bling of a rough towel over the skin,
according to DR.. Robertson, removes
the natural scales OF the skin, of the
false skin" This, he said, cOnduced
to the growth of bacteria upon the skin.
The doctor concluded with an Incl
dent of a poor Eskimo brought from
Greenland to Boston, who had never
been i'll in his life. He was given a

THE BIFURICATED LADY.
Neill Company Present Amusing
Farce Tonight

An exchange announces concerning
the Lottery of Love, that the spectacle
of Lillian Andrews as a mother-in-
law, with bffurcated garments, dancing
the sailors hornpipe would evoke
visibility from the off horse Of a NOV
ing coach.
Not that Miss Andrews is the only
funmaker at the opera house tonight
She has a good part and makes the
most of II, that is all. There are many
others, James Neill himself, Edythe
Chapman, John Burton, Bowles
Bloomquest, Miss Keller and still
others who have mirth manufacturing
roles.
The comedy is very clever one, the
situations many and amusing ana not
too unnaturally evolved, the whole
combination of actors and author pro-
ducing an opportunity for spectators to
laugh at for two hours.
The reduced fleet" prices will pre-
vail and the play has been especially
selected as likely to suit the members
of the Asiatic squadron who have not
seen the inside of a legitimate theater
for many moons.

CARTER ASKED
TO CONFIRM
a NEW YORK NEWSPAPER'S
CABLE ABOUT THE MACARTHUR
STATEMENT.

A cable from Washington last night
stated that the Macarthur investiga-
ton had been concluded and that Sec
rotary of War Root had received full
explanations from Honolulu and had
decided that no action in the matter
was required. The explanations are
said to have been cabied by the General
after his alleged remarks concerning
Germany were cabled from here. The
General is given credit for the manly
attitude he assumed from the start,
showing a readiness to assume what
ever responsibility was his, without
the denials and retractions which are
often INDUCED in in similar cases.
Governor Carter received a cable
from New York newspaper a week
ago, stating that it was reported that
Macarthur had told Carter that there
would be war with Germany within a
year and asking the governor to con-
firm or deny the story. Carter cabled
an emphatic denial.
It is supposed that the matter is now
closed. 1t was brought up in Cabinet
at Washington and the cabinet decided
that explanations were wanted. AS the
case has now been disposed of, the ex-
in question must have been
cabled from here.

SUNDAY BASEBALL

Tomorrows proposed baseball games
appear to be in much doubt. The ar
rangements are more or less in the
air, owing to reported opposition to
them, but it is probable that the teams
will get together The football con-
test will come off according to pro-
gramme The following communica-
tiOn has been received:
EDITOR STAR: Dear Sir, In today's
Advertiser unde rthe caption mo sun
day Baseball" | notice that the two
projected games, between teams from
the U. S. vessels and local players,
are not to be played tomorrow, the
Trustees Of the baseball park deciding
that they had no authority to allow
these games to be played.
Now Mr.. Editor, is 1t not high time
that all such Puritanlcal notions be re-
iegated 10 the background? Is an in
telligent community to be treated like
a Kindergarten class? Is II not a fact
that in almost every city on the main
land baseball is played on Sunday, in

DEATH OF BISHOP
RESEARCHES UNCLE
THOMAS EBENEZER WEBB A
LEADER OF THE IRISH BAR
AND a WRITER OF EMINENCE.

Bishop Restarick has received news
of the death near Dublin, of his mater
nal uncle, the Hon. Thomas Ebenezer
Webb for many years judge of the
County Court of County Donegal. The
deceased was about 81 years of age at
his death He was a barrister who
had attained eminence in his profess
sion, and besides had made a very res
petcable mark in the world of letters.
He was one of the leading counsel in
the celebrated Phoenix Park murder
cases, and his cross examination of the
infOrmers in that case is said to be a
classic in that branch Of the practice
of the law.
In literature, one of his principal
works is entitled The Mystery of Will
liam Shakespeare" published by the
Longmans, which is considered one of
the most important contributions to
the BasoniTn side of the Bacon
Shakespeare controversy. In addition
he wrote and published a number of
works on purely literary subjects, be-
sides making many contributions to
current literature, many of them of a
controversial character.
The Dublin Express of November II,
devotes nearly a column to review Of
his life, principally of his literary ac-
tiVity.

MIGHT ENTER
PEARL HARBOR
BUOYS ALL PLACED AND THE
FLEET COULD ENTER WITH
SAFETY.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 49,.

The last of the Pearl Harbor buoys
was placed this morning and the har-
Dor is now ready for navigation. Next
week some time a formal proclamation
viii be made, opening the harbor to
navigation. The tug Eleu placed the
last of the buoys.
Though the big harbor has had
deep enough channel to enable large
vessels to enter for some time, the only
vessls to go in have been tugs. Buoys
We're highly necessary for the guidance
of vessels inside the channel and har-
Dor, and they have now been placed.
The harbor is big enough and deep
enough to accommodate all of Admiral
Evans fleet and with the buoys placed
as they are, the big vessels might enter
and be the first real deep water vessels
to stir the waters of the --arbor.

ARRIVED IN PORT
AFTER LONG TRIP
SCHOONER KAILUA, "A DAYS
FROM NEWCASTLE, ARRIVED
THIS MORNING.

The first of the overdue coal fleet ar
rived in port this morning. The schoon-
er Kailua, "A days from Newcastle, was
towed in by the tug Fearless and went
to the coal wharf Captain Laas re-
ports having experienced a very dis
agreeable and eXasperating trip. From
his statements there seems to be no
occasion to worry over the remainder
of the fleet Gains and light winds
have been prevailing since the fleet left
Newcastle and as the experience of the
kailua is lilIly to be the same with 9TH
er members of the fleet, none of them
are thought to have experienced rough
weather or storms.
The ,Kailua passed the ship General
Fairchild on the thirtI-third day after
leaving Newcastle. That was the only
member of the Newcastle fleet bound
