KENTUCKY BOARD
MAY BIB DISRUPTED
Distillers are After the Under
writer's Association.
VII, seek to Have Law Passed by
Next Legislature Similar to
Tennessee Statute.
THEY ALLEGE DISCRIMINATION

The fight of the distillers of Ken
lucky against the fire insurance rates
being charged by the insurance COM
panies of the state has taken another
turn with the announcement made by
several of the distillers that they will
endeavor to have passed at the next
legislature an "anti-combine" bill 81.
milar to that now in force in Tonnes
see. says the Courier Journal.
This question has been discussed
at some length by the distillers, and
clerks have been secured to compile
figures showing the amount of loss to
distillery property in Kentucky by
fire during the last ten years. This
table will be used in evidence by the
distillers in their effort to force the
passage of such bill.
The purpose of the bill. which is
now in process of construction, will
be to destroy the Kentucky Associa-
ton of Fire Underwriters, which Il is
claimed, makes tie rates on distillsry
property in Kentucky, and which is
charged with making and collecting
exorbitant and excessive rates for
fire protection. The distillers are con-
fident that they can secure the pas
sage of such a bill II they can secure
a sufficient amount of the necessary
evidence.
Formation of the plans to present
an "anti-combine" bill has resulted
practically in the abandonment of
the plans for a mutual insurance
company composed of the distillers.
According to the resent plans of
the distillers the proposed bill will
embrace about the same requirements
as are now in force in Tennessee. The
bill, which was only recently adopt
ed by the Tennessee legislature does
not permit the organization of
board of underwriters in the state
for the purpose of fixing the insur-
ance rates and makes any conjunc-
ton OF rates unlawful.
Believing that they can lower the
insurance rates by placing the insur-
ance companies in competition by
such a measure the distillers will
leave no stone unturnsd to secure the
passage of the bill 1t will be drawn
up in Louisville Offices and the pre-
liminary sketch is already in a stage
of preparation. No effort to secure
a legislator TO introduce it has yet
been made. but the distillers claim
that they will have no difficulty in
getting it before the body.
Agents for the insurance compa-
mics contend that distlllery property
is one of the greatest risks they have
to handle, and do not believe the
rates should be cut. They claim that
the present rates are in perfect ac-
cord with the fire losses, and say
that distillery property is subject 10
unusual damage. A small fire, which
would result in loss of only few
hundred dollars in an ordinary build
ing, is liable, they claim, to cause
damage amounting to thousands of
dollars resulting from explosions.

A GREAT PHYsI0LOGIS1
Once Said That the Way to Keep the
stomach Healthy Is to
Exercise IL.
HUT He Did Not Tell How 20 Mako
II Healthy.

The muscles of the body can be
developed by exercise until theiI
strength has increased manifold, and
proper amount of training each day
will accomplish this result, but 1t Is
somewhat doubtful whether you car
increase the digestive powers of the
stomach by eating indigestible food
in order to force II to work.
Nature has furnished us all with 9
perfect set of organs, and II they are
not abused they will attend to the
business required of them. They
need no abnormal strength.
There is limit to the weight 9
man can lift, and there is also a
limit to what the stomach can do.
The cause of dyspepsia, indiges-
ton and many similar diseases is
that the stomach has been exercised
too much and 1t is tired or worn out
Not exercise but rest is what II
needs.
To take something into the stom-
ach that will relieve 1t from its work
for a short time-something to d.
gest the food-will give 1t rest and
allow IL time to regain its strength.
The proper aid to the digestive Or
gans is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
which cure dyspepsia, indigestion.
gas on the stomach and bowels, heart
burn, palpitation of the heart, and
all stomach diseases.
Rest and invigoration is what the
stomach gets when you use Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, for one grain of
the active principle in them is suf-
ficient to digest 5000 grains of food.
The Tablets increase the flow of
gastric juice, and prevent fermenta-
ton, acidity and sour eructions.
Do not attempt to starve out dys-
pepsia. You need all your strength.
The common sense method is to
digest the food for the stomach and
give it rest.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
make the cure, but enable the organs
TO throw or unhealthy conditions.
Perfect digestion means perfect
health. for under these conditions on
ly do the different organs of the body
work right and receive the building
up material found in pure blood.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
natural remedy and are specific for
stomach troubles. The ablest physi-
clans prescribe them.
The Tablets are pleasant to the
taste, and are composed of fruit and
vegetable extracts, golden seal and
pepsin.

in VIII Also he Made.

The meeting OF fiscal court about
December 20 will be very important
one, as the county will then settle
with the sheriff, treasurer and sink
ing fund commissioner. The question
of building a new Jail will also come
up, and some sort of a settlement is
expected of Il.
II is generally conceded that the
county Is in need of a new Jail, be-
cause of the large cost OF repairs ev-
cry year, II for no other reason. In
addition, however, the Jail is too
small, and is entirely out of date and
very unsanitary. 1t is believed that II
any feasible plan for building a new
Jail is presented, fiscal court will con-
cur in 1t.
Nothing has ever been done about

The meeting this month of fiscal
court is a special one, the only regu-

GlEE SINGERS
DELIGHT AUDIENCE

Music lovers spent a delightful even
ing with the Westminster Glee and
Concert Party last night. It is a long
time since such a unique and attrac-
tive program has been submitted. A
crowded house gave the performers a
most hearty welcome. The singers at
once struck the taste of the audience.
All were charmed with the fresh, clear
voices of the youthful choristers, the
excellent part songs, and the cultured
singing of the adult performers. 1t is
the novelty of the concert which forms
it's most striking feature. The public
is not often afforded an opportunity
of hearing such a company of artists.
The old English music which has SO
prominent a place in their program
is dear to the heart of everyone who
cherisheS the traditions of the Home
land. Hence the rapt interest with
which each item is followed and the
enthusiasm that is aroused by the sing
ers. Last evening, so we'll had the au-
dience been entertained that few items
escaped an encore, and a program of
fifteen selections was almost doubled
before the curtain was finally rung
down. The audience comprised all sec
tons of the community, not alone the
customary theater-go Clergymen
and prominent church people listened
with as much enjoyment as did those
to whom the theater is more familiar,
proving that in their choice of music
and its artistic Interpretation the
Westminster Party appealed to all
tastes

Mr.. L. E. Pinkham, President of the
Board of Health, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Sir: In reply to your letter of the
9th ultimo, which has only just come
to hand, I would have you understand
that when 1 need your advice in the
performance of my official duties 1
shall not hesitate to inform you of the
fact. In the meantime, if someone has
to be advised, it might not be amiss
to call to the attention of the Board of

PINkHAM
REBUKED
Matthewman Calls Him
Down Sharply by
Letter.

| President Pinkham of the Board of
Health has been sharply called down
by Judge Matthewman of the Third
Circuit Court
| 1t will be seen by the correspondence
below that Mr.. Pinkham, in his Off
ciaI capacity, presumed to direct The
judge regarding his judicial duties in
Kona.
| The particular matters in question
were first ventilated through newspaper
correspondence from the district and
| afterward through the presidents YER
sion of the occurrences given to the
Board of Health. In the first case a.
deputy sheriff was represented as i'm
peding instead of enforcing the segre-
CATION law, and in the second certain
professional men, unnamed were ac-
cused of interfering with the district
| physician as agent of the Board of
Health.
According to the facts coming to the
Advertiser it would appear that the
early newspaper accounts We're fairly
correct. but there is nothing thus far
to show that Mr.. Pinkham's attack on
professional men, whom he made de-
fenseless by not naming them, had
ether basis than somebody's magma :.
ton.
1t would appear that the release of
a detained suspect on habeas corpus
probably the incident that melted Mr..
Pinkham's rash letter of Instructions to
Judge Matthewman-was entirely due
to the agents overlooking the first
legal essential in procuring the sub
ject's arrest, namely, a warrant.
DR.. Goodhue had discovered a num-
Der of leper suspects. He permitted
most of them to remain at their homes
until the departure of the Noeau, they
having assured him that they would
embark without any trouble. One
Chinaman, however. who was living a
a restaurant, was taken and confined
in the leper shanty located out on The
lava near Keauhou.
This man applied for a writ of habeas
corpus, which Judge Matthewman
granted on the ground that the peti-
toner was held in custody without au
thority of law. The doctor had
negie led to se:'1re the warran5 pro-
vided for by Section 1922 of the Re-
vised Laws.
Afterward when the doctor, at the
Judges suggestion, mad secured a war
rant for the detention of the same
man, All Kau, a second petition for a
writ of habeas corpus was denied. DR..
Goodhue also obtained warrants for all
the others, it is said, but was able
to send away only two because of the
action, or non-action, of the police.
All Kau went to Honolulu by way
of Kawaihae, and was declared by the
Boards physicians here not to be
leper. This last fact was little or no
concern of Judge Matthewman, as his
function simply lay in ascertaining
whether or not the man was restrained
of his liberty according to law.
Herewith are printed President Pink
hams letter to Judge Matthewman and
the reply thereto.
