ooLoRED VACCINE PHYSICIAN
Mayor Wilson Will Probably Return the
Ordinance to Council This Evening.

The ordinance providing for an ad-
ditional city vaccine physician. which
was passed by City Council last Thursday
night, will, in all probability, be returned
to Council this evening by Mayor Wilson.
The white Republican members Of
Council, at the meeting last Thursday
night. opposed the ordinance and voted
against il, giving as q reason that an
additional vaccine physician is not neces-
sary. and TO pass the ordinance would
entail useless expense upon the city.
Councilman Postles, the colored member,
who offered the ordinance. favored It on
the ground that it was proposed TO ap-
point a colorod physician which was nee
essary.
Mayor Wilson has not given an inti-
nation as to whether he will approve the
ordinance or return it without his ap-
pruval.

Fraud Is
Found Out

The Federal authorities are at pres.

violate the immigration laws of the
United States, which is of no little in.

part OF some Chinese TO smuggle one
OF their number TO the mainland. Il

went TO his friend, Wong Hung to have
him help him out of his troubles. Wong
Hung rose nobly to the occasion. He
had in his possession a certificate of
Hawaiian birth issued for third Chi.
naman which Wong Hung had In some
manner procured from the original
owner. who Is probably dead or has
returned to end his days In China, in
either OF which cases he would have
no further use for his certificate. A
very plausible theory Is that he de-
parted and previously sold his certif.
cate to Wong Hung.
Wong Hung sold the certificate to
Wong Kock Hee for the tidy sum of
$3.50. Armed with the precious docu.
ment, Wong Kock Hee proceeded to
the immigration station, where he rep.
resented himself as the man whose
name was on the certificate. He also
had with him some Chinese friends
who cheerfully swore that Wong Kock
Hee was that very man, and that he
had been born here.
The certificate was one of the old
kind which J. w. Girvin used to issue
in legio at the rat OF 81 apiece. They
are not very highly thought of by the
immigration officials. Inspector Bech.

There Is no doubt but that the cru.

Wall produced maps which were

thus shown by comparing the map
made by Frank s. Dodge, with the as
sistance Of Mr.. Wall. in 1892, and tho
latest map of the crater, made by z.
ID. Baldwin, In August, 1902, that in
that period the crater has moved about
1900 feet.
