Botany Bay convict who lived in q
lonely place on the side of the noun
tain. The next morning this man warn
ed him to be careful to avoid falling
into one of the numerous cattle pits In
the locality, which were dug by the
natives (and covered with branches,
grass and earth) for the purpose of cap
turing wild cattle.
Ostensibly to insure Mr.. Douglas
safety as far as possible. the man ac-
companied him for some distance on his
journey. The next day this man went
see IL any cattle had fallen into 1t and
discovered therein q wild bull and the
dead body of Mr.. Douglas, which the
bull had gored. 1t will never be known
which was in the pit first, Mr.. Douglas
or the bull, nor will 1t ever be known
positively whether his death was caus-
ed by the wounds inflicted by the bull
or whether he was murdered for the
sake of robbery and then thrown into
the pit.
There were at the time strong sus-
picions of foul play. In the first place.
Mr.. Douglas bundle was found at
considerable distance further along on
the road to Hilo indicating that he had
passed the pit safely and proceeded
thus far on his way when for some
unexplained reason he had either re-
turned or been taken back to the place
where his body was found. And 1t did
not seem at all likely that he would.
OF his own accord, have dropped his
bundle on the road and deliberately
gone back to this spot.
In the second place, Mr.. Douglas was
known to have carried quite sum In
gold on his person and when shortly
after his death 1t became apparent that
the previously mentioned escaped con-
Wet was well supplied with gold coins
(some versions say Spanish doubloons,,
which he took no pains to conceal, II
was surmised that this man had mur-
dered the traveller. robbed him ana
thrown his body into the cattle pit
where he afterwards pretended to have
found It, The deed may have been
committed when the convict escorted
Mr.. Douglas on the first part of the
trip after leaving his house, or he may
have waylaid him later and killed him
1t is possible also that the victim may
have been thrown into the pit alive for
the bull to kill, and in either case the
convict may not have taken the money
until after Mr. Douglas death. An old
resident of Waimea. now deceased, who
formerly believed In the guilt of this
man, used to say that he died crazy
from the effects of this wicked deed
preying on his mind.
Some of the people In Hamakua had
the body of Mr.. Douglas taken to Hilo,
from whence 1t was sent to Honolulu
and buried In the west corner of Ka-
waiahao churchyard Corner of Queen
and Punchbowl streets). There the re-
mains still lie In an unmarked grave.
but on the corner of the church there
is (or was) a tablet to his memory.
The Hawaiian Spectator" Vol. H.,
No. 2, for April. 1883. contains very
interesting description by Mr.. Douglas
of his ascent of Mauna Loa and the
summit crater of Mokuaweoweo. to-
gether with an extract from letter
to a lady friend. briefly mentioning
his ascent OF Mauna Kea.

course, replied in equally good French.
This had gone on for some time when,
by some accident, 1t was discovered
that the officer of the deck spoke as
good English as he did French and tho
French was Immediately dispensed with
amid roar of laughter all around. The
purpose of the visit was to invite the
surgeon OF the cruiser DIR. Vladimir
Zabotkin, to attend and take part in
the meetings of the Association and to
be present at the banquet tonight as
the guest of the President. The party
was most courteously received and
shown over the vessel, which they de-
clared to be a fine ship, fitted up more
like a passenger steamer than war
ship.
Prior to going aboard ship and after
the luncheon, the whole party went to
the county morgue, where an autopsy
was performed upon an Hawaiian man
who had died during the morning at
Moanalua unattended by a physician.
The autopsy. performed by DR.. ]. T..
Mcdonald, developed the fact that the
man had died of acute pneumonia.

Next to cows fresh milk, he recon-
mends condensed milk. Taroena he
also favors.
DR.. Wood showed some dry milk
patented by Harold MottSmith in
Paris.
DR.. Sinclair strongly opposed using
condensed milk. DR.. Moore claimed
the condensed milk is sterilized while
you can't always say as much of fresh
cows milk. He had never heard Of
a case of illness due to condensed milk.
DR.. Emerson claimed the case varied
with different cows.
DIR. Humphris also supported con-
densed milk as superior to fresh milk.
Unless there was trained nurse to
see that the fresh milk was properly
protected he preferred condensed milk.
DR.. L. e. Cofer related several in
teresting incidents connected with the
milk exposures in San Francisco. A
fake cream made of SKINNED milk,
some coloring matter and few drugs
was found among other things.
DR.. Wayson announced that the trip
to Waialua was off.

Queens Hospital, read highly tech

most marked, perhaps, being that of the
twin cities of Hamburg and Altoona
during cholera epidemic in 1892. One
had filtration plant and the other had
none. The cholera seemed to absolute
ly stop right on the boundary line.
although the water supplied to the
city with the filtration plant was foul
ed by the sewage of the city where
the cholera was most prevalent.
Statistics for Honolulu for the past
ten years showed terrible increase
during the careless boom times, a sud-
den fall after the Chinatown fires in
age system, but a steadily increasing
rate since then, showing the immedi-
ate necessity of action in the matter.
The Doctor has prepared some very
instructive charts on the matter by
way of illustration which were hung
up in the meeting room. Both the
charts and the paper in full will be
found in the Advertiser of tomorrow.
DR.. Wood called attention to the
danger from the camp alongside the
Nuuanu water supply ditch. He said
he had already taken the matter up
with the Governor, who promised inn
mediate attention.
DR.. Humphris suggested a committee
to discuss the matter with the gov
ernment officials. DIR. Day was ap-
pointed chairman of the committee,
the remainder to be appointed later.
DR.. A. N. Sinclair, physician in

Consumptives, presented a technical
paper ron'Tuberculosis Pulmonalis-Ref-
erential to Classification" which held
the closest attention of the medical
men present. He recommended for
consumptives plenty of fresh air, not
necessarily hot sunshine, but the pure
air of a veranda. Leahi Home he con-
siders well located for consumptive
hospital.
DR.. Humphris and DIR. Wood urged
that some Hawaiian millionaire should
endow the Leahi Home so that a hos
pital could be equipped for the treat
ment of possible durable cases.
Drs. Hodgins and Day suggested a
sanitarium for treatment of such cases.
President Pinkham of the Board of
Health said IS per cent of the deaths

losis.

THREE SAILORS CAPTURED.

The British ship Withersfield which
will probably leave Kaanapali today
will carry three sailors bound in irons.
John Sheridan, a Canadian, and
August Melander are two of the three
unfortunate men and their crime is
running away from ship on which
they claim they received the most
brutal treatment. After getting away
from the ship they stayed for several
days in the cane fields and lived prin-
cipally on sugar cane. Fearing dis
covery one of them went to Lahaina
where he was arrested. The other two
came to Waihee and were arrested on
Monday OF this week by police officers
Valdimar Rogers and John Paikaka
and on Tuesday were taken back to
Lahaina and from there TO Kaanapali.

TRAGIC TALE

Editor Advertiser: Enclosed in n
letter recently received from a friend
on Hawaii was the accompanying clip
ping relative to Mr.. David Douglas, the
scientific traveller and explorer who met
his death on the side of Mauna Kea
about eight miles above Laupahoehoe,
many years ago:
"A tree whose name is at once the
memorial both of a man and tragedy
is the Douglas pine, famous for its
magnificent cones. Now, David Doug
las was originally a Scotch lad who
came under the notice of Sir William
Hooker, the well-known botanist. and
through his influence was appointed
collector of rare Splants to the Horti-
cultural Society. He Travelled for the
society in all parts of the world and
was extraordinarily successful in his
finds. 1t was he who discovered lu-
pins, escholtzias and godetias as well
as many magnificent varieties of pine
trees, including the one bearing his
name. But when quite young man
he met tragic fate while plant hunt
ing. He was in the Sandwich isles, and
there the natives dig deep pits to catch
wild animals, covering them, over with
branches and grass to conceal their
openings. On to one Of these treacher-
Gus pits Douglas walked one day when
alone and was at once precipitated to
the bottom. No help was at hand"
The writer of the letter suggested
that IL I could add what is remember
ed of his tragic death 1t might make
an interesting newspaper article. The
story as nearly as I can recall 1t was
as follows:

his way from Walmea to Hilo stopped

Notwithstanding 1t was Sunday, the
Medical Association put in rather
strenuous day yesterday. At nine
o'clock in the morning there was
clinic at the Queens Hospital which
was largely attended. The operation
was for appendicitis. DR.. ]. r. Judd
performed the operation. assisted by
DIR. Carl Ramus of the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service, the anes-
thetic being administered by DIR. West
of the hospital staff. The operation
was of unusual interest to the medical
men and was closely watched.
During the operation and afterward,
DR.. F. r. Day, who is an amateur
photographer of no mean ability, made
several snapshots of the members pres
ent. After the operation, the next thing
on the docket was clinical lecture and
exhibition of interesting cases by DIR.
Walter Hoffman,, also of the hospitSa
STAFF, which was greatly enjoyed from
a medical standpoint.
After the program at the hospital
was over. there was an impromptu
party formed for luncheon at the
Young cafe at one o'clock. The Young
did itself proud. The party was then
prepared for a visit to the Russian
auxiliary cruiser Lena, which was
reached from the Oceanic dock in the
p. II. & NJ. II. s. launch, previously
ordered to be in readiness by DR.. Cofer
surgeon in charge at this port.
On the way ont. the party discussed
who could talk French sufficiently well
to make themselves understood and 1t
was finally decided that DIR. Armitage
OF Wailuku, who is perfect in his
French, should be spokesman. The
Maui physician consequently unlimber-

Different PLANS OF
PARTY ORGANIZATION

Secretary Murray of the Republican
Territorial Central Committee has
compiled figures showing the compare
tive size of the delegations to the va
rious conventions under the present
and under the proposed Waterhouse-
Hughes plan. The present basis Of
representation is one delegate for ev-
cry fifty votes, as to the Territorial
convention, and one for every twenty
five votes to the district and county
conventions. Waterhouse proposes to
combine county, district and senator
ial conventions into one and increase
the size Of the combined convention
by reducing the basis of representa-
ton to one delegate for every fifteen
votes or major fraction thereof. There
is no proposition to change the Terri
torial convention at all. In order to
increase the number to be elected dele
gates to some kind of convention,
some one has suggested ~ as a basis.

SECRETARY WILSON STANDS PAT
Not Afraid of Libel Suits as Result of
Recent Statements.

Washington, July 11.-That Secre-
tary Wilson intends to take no step
backward In his report on the cotton
leak investigation was evidenced by
his statement that he was not afraid
OF any libel suit which might be filed
against him by Mr.. Price or others
mentioned in the report. In fact, he
said, he would welcome such action
because it might be the means of de-
veloping some facts not already un-
covered and which 1T was desirable to
know. He said he would not commu-
nicate with Mr.. Price or his attorney.

FOR WORK ON THE CANAL
COMMISSION DECIDES TO IMPORT
ITALIANS, CHINESE AND
JAPANESE.

Washington, July 11.-To test the
capacity for work of Italians, Chinese
and Japanese and also the contract
method of securing and handling la
borers the Panama canal commission
has decided to import 1000 men of
each nationality for 5O0-day con-
tract, subject to renewal Proposals
for furnishing these laborers soon will
be issued. 1t is the object of the COM
mission to reduce the amount of this
sort of labor as much as possible by
the introduction of modern machinery,
but it will be necessary to secure sew
eral thousand additional workmen.
The number of 1000 was chosen be-
cause of being the approximate capac-
ity of one ship at a time. The labor
ers will be furnished by contractors
and will have to be delivered before
Dec next The government will fur
nish free hospital and medical attend
ance, unfinished quarters, fuel for
cooking and water. Under a recent
decision of the attorney general labor
ers will work eight hours day.
