Hundreds Of women suffer from head

their head. another for their stomach,
Il third for their nerves and yet all the

OFFICERS Sci LITTLE
OF HONOLULU LIFE

According to a story given to the
San Francisco Call by General Moore,
the army officers stationed at Camp
Mckinley do not greatly like their jobs,
mainly as it appears for the reason
that while they are at Honolulu, the
duties Of the station are so combining
as to prevent them getting into Homo
lulu as often as they would like.
General Francis Moore" says the
Call of January 25th, resumed the
duties of his post as commander or
the Department of California yesterday.
He was pleased with his visit to the
Hawaiian Islands He was not favor
ably impressed with the location of
Camp Mckinley, and thinks some Of
the other Government reservations
there would better serve for a perma-
nent camp. The only troops there now
are the Twenty-eighth Company Coast
Artillery in command Of Lieutenant w.
w. K. Hamilton. and the Ninety-second
Company Coast Artillery in command
of Captain Henry B. Farrar. The post
is in command of Lieutenant Colonel
John Mcclellan. AS these are the
only three officers at that post. they
are forced to do double duty, and only
occasionally get an opportunity to go
into Honolulu. For this reason they
are not well pleased with the station.
This trip to Honolulu ends the in
spections of the posts belonging to this
department. with the exception Of posts
at Benicia. Monterey and San Diego.
These will be inspected by General
Moore in the near future. General
Moore viii retire from the army on
April ) and viii make his home in Cali
fornia. His aid, Lieutenant Greed +.
Cox. will then resume his duties with
the Eleventh Cavalry. now stationed
at Dee Moines.
Mrs. Francis Moore and her daugh-
ter. Miss Jessie Moore. are still in
Honolulu, and will return here on the
transport Logan about February Is"

One of the causes instigating the

public opinion to manipulations that

REFORM Of ME- HODS
BY STOCK EXCHANGE
Restriction on Outside Transactions---Ase gents oil
Members at the Board---Report of
SPECIAL Committee tomorrow.

Important changes are on the eve OF
being made in methods by the Honolulu
Stock and Bond Exchange. They are
intended to be of reformatory effect
the main purpose being to put the Ex-
change on a footing of enhanced good
faith with the public.
One of the immediate means proposed
to this end is the restriction, so far
as possible, of transactions by men,
bers to the board meetings. Sales or
stocks and bonds between boards" are
to be discouraged. Another proposal
is to admit non-members to seats at
the board as substitutes for members
who may find it inconvenient to attend.
This is not intended as a relaxing of
the internal confidence subsisting at
the board, but as an auxiliary 10 the
attempted restriction on outside deals.
At present there are agents of men,
bers working on the street, whose oper-
atoms swell the list of sales between
boards" and possibly, if not proba bly,,
often go unreported. By having these
agents attend at the board, it is be
lieved that their doings will be under
control.
In each case where the privilege is
to be granted, the principal will be held
responsible for the acts of his agent.
Jas. F. Morgan, R. w. Single and
Willard E. Brown, as a special COM
mittee on these matters, are under
stood to have agreed on their report
and will present it, probably, to the
Exchange tomorrow.
The rule against outside transactions
will not be altogether inflexible. Cases
in which a departure from it would be
justifable are likely to occur frequent

departure of the steamship ManchuFia
for Japan, whittier he is going under
instructions from Washington as spe-
cia1 observer for the Navy Department.
Although he declined to discuss his
mission last night, it was learned that
Surgeon Braisted will watch the opera
tions Of the Japanese naval forces, to
which he expects to be assigned, and
will make careful inspection of the
hospitals and note the success of all
modern appliances used by the Japa-
nese in rendering their hospitals sani-
tary
The officer will go direct to Toxic
and will there begin his visit to the
larger hospitals. Later he expects to
be assigned to some of the war vessels
and hospital ships for the purpose OF
permitting him to look into the trans
portation of wounded at sea, study
which few surgeons have had an OPP
portunity to enjoy in the present war
and which, as matter of fact, is some
thing new to the world
Eventually the officer expects to get
near the Japanese firing line to exam
inc men who have been wounded by
the modern guns, and will follow the
wounded to the rear with a view to
comparing the methods of the Japa-
nese hospital corps with those Of this
The result of his observations
will be incorporated in a report to the
surgeon general of the navy. Com
mander BREASTED is an experienced
naval surgeon. He was formerly at

some time go was assigned TO duty on
this coast to supervise the fitting out
of the Relief. He has since been at
