HAWAII RED CROSS ORGANIZED

j 50, leaving an unexpended balance,
which with interest since received,
amounts now to $42e.6S. This was
left in my hands and Mrs. f. w. Mac
farlane's to use in whatever way APP
pealed to our judgment. At the time
of the San Francisco disaster we
! thought of applying it to the needs
of any Hawaiians that might be suf-
ferers by that disaster. But means
for that purpose came from other
sources and this money was not used.
We have decided that it can not be
more appropriately used than by turn
ing it over to the present Red Cross
There was applause when Mrs. Jones
made this announcement.
Mrs. L. L. Dunbar, President of the
| Children's Hospital in San Francisco,
and member of the Executive Com
| mittee and Chairman of the Nurses
Committee of the San francisco branch
of the Red Cross Society was next
presented by Judge Dole. Mrs. Dun
bar and her husband, DR.. Dunbar, are
visitors in Honolulu, where they have
made many friends, and both are en-
thusiastic in Red Cross work.
Mrs. Dunbar began by saying that she
was glad to see so much interest taken
in the movement and SO large an at
tendance at this meeting. She felt
that the American National Red Cross
Society ought to be the greatest Ma
tional organization of the society in
the world.
Gin San Francisco she said, Sc the
need of such an organization was first
felt in 1898 at the time of the Span
ism War. But there was no such or
ganization there at the time, though
one was speedily organized, and in
spite of the haste of its organiza-
ton, its inexperience, and the burdens
put upon it, it met the situation at
least to very large extent, and re-
ceived the praise of Judge Sheldon
who was sent out from Washington at
the time to see how well it was meet
ing the situation.
"There was no further need of the
Red Cross Society in San Francisco
until 1906. In 1905 when Congress
made the society national an or
ganization was effected in San Fran
cisco with Judge Morrow as president.
There seemed no hurry and Judge
Morrow was busy man and no COM
mittees Were appointed until April II,
1906, when meeting was called, and
Judge Morrow appointed the commit
tees on nurses and physicians. Then
the very next day came the earthquake
and fire. | had been appointed chair
man of the committee on nurses, but
I was out of the city at the time and
could not get back into it for week.

National Organization at Washington.
81 have sometimes thought said
Judge Dole, after the routine business
of the meeting had been disposed of,
that l would like to belong to a
frs.ternal organization on broader lines
than those we are usually accustomed
to think of, one that should be or
ganized to relieve suffering wherever
il found it without any restraint of
political, national or race feeling, in
fact Good Samaritan organization.
This ideal seems to me most nearly
realized in the Red Cross Society. It
was organized in Switzerland, and that
the society. For many years the So
eiety in America had at it's head
Clara Barton. The society was large
when there was need of it, and when
there was no need it shrank in num-
bers. But under the new organization
there are about forty different Ma
tional organizations among which the
japanese is eminent.
'tDuring the Spanish war, when the
troops began to pass through here to
the Philippines, although Hawaii was
an Independent nation then, there was
need OF Red Cross work and an or
ganization with that name and to do
that work was formed. 1t did the
work and is still in existence and Mrs.
p. c. Jones win tell of it and the
work it did,
Mrs. ?. c.. Jones thus introduced
said:
When the American troops began
passing through here in 1898, there
was found to be need not only for
entertainment of the soldiers but for
the care of those who were sick, for
there was no military hospital here
then. For this reason Red Cross So
eiety was organized, Mrs. Sewa1l, the
wife of the United States Minister,
taking the initiative. Headquarters
anu and King streets, and there cold
lunches with hot coffee were constantly
served to the soldiers while they were
IN this port. We know that our eff
forts were appreciated, for we had
many evidences of it by letters and
otherwise.
But the society was called on to
do other things. 1t was called on to
care for the sick and to bury the
dead. In number of cases the sick
were taken into private homes to be
cared for, the society paying for the
nurses. The graves of the dead were
marked and cared for until the bodies
were later removed to the mainland.
All of them have since been removed
'tThe society during its existence re-
ceived $4S05.40 and expended $3,951.-

Meanwhile our nurses had responded
to the need, and though without or
ganization had done much. AS soon as
| was able to get back to the city
ed, conditions greatly improved.
my work in connection with the
Children s Hospital and as Chairman
of the Red Cross Committee on Nurses
has brought me in contact with the
great body of nurses of San Francisco.
1t is rule of the National Red Cross
Society that it will not accept nurses
who are not graduates of schools hav-
ing two or three years course. This
is to ensure both the character of
the nurses and the character of the
persons offering services, and grows
out of experience acquired in the Span
ish war. In our county we have $50
trained and efficient nurses enrolled in
our Red Cross organization, and the
other counties of the state are taking
up the work in the same way. So that
it is believed that it will only be a
short time before California will have
the largest nursing section of any
state organization, or any national one,
for that matter.
eve in San Francisco have gone
through two occasions when we need
ed the Red Cross organization and did
not have it. We hope there will not
be a third occasion, but if there is
we hope to be prepared for it,
Miss Rutty, who had Red Cross ex-
perience in the field in the war with
Spain, was pleasantly introduced by
Judge Dole, who asked that she say
something of her experience.
81 would rather go to "a war; she
said, ethan attempt to make speech.
My experience was IN 1898 in Cuba
and Porto Rico. The call for nurses
came, and we in New York responded.
There had not been a thorough Red
Cross organization before, but the
nurses went to the field. The need for
our services always came before our
supplies, so that we always had to do
great deal of emergency work.
''But there were many splendid types
of men and women volunteered for the
work. One of them was young sur
geon who lives in your islands.
fIn New York, of course, there was
always a large body of nurses to draw
from. But it is not so everywhere.
1t is not so in France, and there volun-
teer nurses are given instruction I'M
der the most eminent surgeon in
France.
s'The benefit of organization was
shown In. the advance in New York in
1906 over 1898. In 1906 we were ready
to send forward relief for San Fran
cisco in twelve hours after the news
of the need. !"
Following these remarks there were
short addresses by number of those
present in which the advantage of
training in first aid to injured was

FINDS LOST SON
IN HOSPITAL
MOTHERS ANXIOUS SEARCH
BRINGS HER TO BEDSIDE OF
BOY FOUND SICK AND DE-
LlRIOUS ON STREET.

After worrying and searching all
day yesterday for her son, Glen
Beatty, age 20, who came to this
city days ago, Mrs. w. T. Beatty,
of Avoca, Iowa, foun him at $3.50
O'Clock last night at Sacred Heart
hospital, tossing and moaning on
a cot with typhoid pneumonia.
Yesterday the anxious mother
appealed to everyone she met and
at last to the police for news of
her son. Someone at the Pedicord
hotel, where she had taken a room,
suggested that she go through the
files of the papers. She did SO and
finally learned that man who
had letters addressed to Glen
Beatty had been picked up at the
o. r. & N. depot, wandering
around and out of his mind. He
was taken to Sacred Heart hospital.
Mrs. Beatty was overjoyed at the
information, for the mans descrip-
ton fitted her lost son. She has
tened to the hospital and could
hardly restrain herself until she
made sure it was her son, and she
knelt at his bedside and thanked
God.
Today she said that she and her
husband and son had travelled from
Iowa. en- route to Spokane. When
K1Ona, Ore, was reached Mr..
Beatty decided to remain and the
son said he would come ON to Spo-
kane. He complained of being
sick and his mother decided to ac-
company him, but missed the train.
The son travelled alone and when
the train arrived here he was taken
with the fever and went out Of his
head. The boy is doing as well as
could be expected and may recov-
er. His mother, since she found
him, has been constantly at the
bedside.

roll Is made out and the contractor
draws down part of the money he
was to receive.
Before the balance 10 paid, how
ever. the city engineer takes
measures and goes over the plans
TO see that the job has been COM

the commissioners explanation Of
the proposition It would seem that
this dilatory way OF doing business

In most cases the contractors
draw down almost all their money.
Part Of 1t is held back until the
engineer gets around to the inspec-
ton work. In some cases, as for
instance in this, the engineer is
often away behind time.
The Barber Asphalt Co., which
has contract for the sidewalking
has also been held back on account
OF the delay of Lillienthal. The
asphalt people claim they could not
lay the sidewalk until the street
was finished. They were in no par

Opinion of councilmen as to the
ACCESSIBILITY Of granting the 0. r.

OF the railroad, has asked that his
company be allowed to build tracks

emphatically, claiming that the
spur will result in reduction In

pose of giving property owners and

visit was the result of this meet
