President Pinkham of the Board of
Health, Also has had this grievance
on his mind for some time. In talk
ing about the matter the other day he
complained that the asylum was being
used virtually as Federal pauper in
stitution at Territorial expense.
Some local people, too, of feeble mind
but not dangerous subjects had to
be sent there simply because there was
no other refuge for them. This was
but part Of the burden of INDECENT sick
generally, which is constantly being
cast upon the Board of Health.
People that none of the hospitals
will take in are carried, often in low
condition, to the Health Office for the
president of the Board to dispose of
as best he can. There are no funds
provided for taking care of such cases,
yet Mr.. Pinkham is constrained by
his humanity to find some place of
shelter for them.

of action being urged by agitators for
enlargement Of the scope of county

F|FTEEN-YEAR OLD GIRL
PREPARED FOR SUICIDE

De Olinda Cavalho, a fifteen year old
girl, who lives on Kinau street, had
preparations well under way to COM
nit suicide yesterday morning, her eff
forts being frustrated by the police.
Olinda, it appears, according to the
statements made at the police station,
had heen wilful and hayward and had
defied her mother to interfere with
her. The mother had therefore entered
complaint against her yesterday
morning, expressing the desire that the
girl be committed to the reform school.
Acting on the complaint special po-
lice officer was sent cut to look into
the case.
In the meantime Olinda, having learn
ed of her mothers intentions, visited
a local drugstore and procured a bottle
of carbohc acid, which she hid under
tho house ready for any emergency.
Fortunately she limited broadly of her
intentions and the contemplated sui
eide was reported to the special officer
on the case. A search for the poison
resulted in its being found under the
house.
The whole case is still under investi-
