Sandow Has Little Hope Of Case Being
 Reversed.
 Pensacola. Fla. Jan. 22.-(Special By Long Distance Telephone. .)-Desiring to commence the serving of his long sem tence in the Atlanta federal prison, Os- car Sandow, convicted in the United States court some weeks since on con- spiracy to commit peonage, arrived here today from Lockhart, where he had been in the employ of the Jackson Lumber Company. ,and going tc the United States Marshal told him that he desired to surrender and commence serving his sentence.
 Sandow with five other employees of the Jackson Lumber Company, convic- ted of the above charge, after a long and tedious trial in the United States court and each senteced to serve a term of thirteen months in the Atlanta fed eral prison and to pay a fine of $1,o00 each.
 The cases were appealed to the Uni ted States Court of Appeals, and it was in the higher court the men had been out on bond of $s.o00 each.
 Marshal McGowin could not accent the surrender of Sandow for the reason that the bonds for the appeal of the case testified that the defendant shall appear before. the court on a certain date, so sandow shall tomorrow morn- ing appear before Judge Charles swayne. Tonight Sandow stated that he desired to serve his sentence and 20 to England where he had an opportu- nifty to better himself
 He felt sure that the higher court would not reverse the decision of the lower court as all had been given A fair trial, and it would be wholly a question of time before the other par- ties would have to go to the peniten- tiary and serve cut their sentences. r

ON LOCAL OPTION
HEARING BY JOINT COMMITTEES
 ON TEMPERANCE.
Advocates of Measure Adress LegisIa- tors on Proposed Lasv--County Uurged as the Unit--NO
 Decision Reached.

In the presence of many women and not & few men who advocate prohibi- ton of the sale of intoxicants. the joint Session of the Senate and House Com mittess on Temperance was held Tues day afternoon at o'clock for consider Rtion of the Lovelady local option bill The session lasted until 6:30 o'clock, when adjournment was taken until 8.30 o'clock this afternoon.
 By the adoption of a resolution, the advocates of the bill were heard yes- terday afternoon. and in accordance with 1t, speeches were made by W. A. Davis of 'Anniston. Dr. W. B-Crump- ton, President of the Alabama Anti Saloon League, and Rev. Brooks Law renee, the Superintendent of the League. Their addresses were received with clos attention and were frequently interrupted by applause
 The meeting was presided over by MT. Ballard of Autauga, chairman of the House Committee on Temperance, with Mr. New horter of the Senate Com mittee as his associate chairman. Dan- iel c. Cook, clerk of the House Com mittee, was clerk to the joint com mittee. ~s5
 Representative o. c. Maner of Mont- gomery informed the committee that he had prepared a bill which it had been his intention, to introduce and he. submitted a copy of 1t for the consider ation of the committee, which he thought might derive beneficial sug- gestions from his proposed measure
 The bill was then read and discussion by it's advocates, not members of the House and Senate, invited. In the meantime Mir. Pitts of Perry had ere ated laughter by a few remarks.
 T am a friend of the bill" he stated. but I find faults in it. But if I am to be regarded as an enemy of the bill I shall sit down. It is not wise for man to stand here and condemn that bill"
 Dr. Crumpton, who was the first speaker, congratulated himself upon living to see the day when the liquor question was not only the greatest. but the most popular, question before the people of Alabama. It had long been agitated without organization. but now. he said. 1t was agitated by one of the most powerful organizations in the State. The Anti-Saloon League was here to stay; 1t would camp upon the trail of the liquor business and the camp fires would never go out. In Mon gomery Birmingham. Mobile and Selma, he said, the liquor forces were strongly entrenched but finally they would be driven from the State.
 w. A. Davis of Annistcn spoke brief Iy. He was proud to say that he was a lobbyist like Dr. Crumrton. lie would leave to his sons the heritage that he had never failed to take opportunity to strike the liquor business.

HONOLULU NOW
IN QUARAN TINE
The United States Regulations
Went Into Force
Yesterday.

Honolulu is in quarantine and viii
be for at least thirty days.
As soon as meteorological examina-
tion had determined beyond question
that the death of Kanelau was due tc
cholera, the regulations of the United
States quarantine service required in
such eases were put in force
These regulations in the main are:
All steerage passengers must go into
strict quarantine for five days before
departing for another port
All other passengers must report
daily to the quarantine office for five
days before departing for another port
Crews of ships must go into strict
quarantine for five days before going
on their ships.
No fresh meat, fresh fish, fresh vege-
tables, fresh fruit or other fresh food
from Honolulu, will be allowed to be
shipped away from here. Fresh food
from other places in the islands than
Honolulu are not affected by this regu-
lation.
Island steamers leaving Honolulu will
be inspected on arrival at other ports.
There will be no communication be-
tween shore and ship. Stevedores viii
have to go into quarantine, and remain
in quarantine, or they will not be per-
mitted to load or discharge vessels.
Only artesian water will be allowed
to be taken on board ships.
These regulations went into effect
yesterday afternoon. The Nevadan was
the first vessel to be affected by them.
She sailed yesterday afternoon for Ka-
hului and on arrival there win be in
spected.
The fishing regulation is Board of
Health regulation, but the quarantine
service will assist in enforcing it. Au-
thority is expected from Washington
TO hire launch to be used in en-
forcing the regulation.

EARLY START
ON BREAKWATER
First Rocks May Be Dropped
in HiIo Bay Toward End
of April.

According to Captain Otwell, who
has just returned from a trip to Hilo,
the breakwater there viii soon be un-
der way. In speaking of the matter
yesterday he said:
81 expect to be able to advertise
for bids by the end of this month and
then, giving the successful contractor
time to get his plant on the scene, we
will start the work. expect that we
will be ready to start dropping rocks
in there about the last of April or
the first of May.
'fThe one thing over which the gov
ernment has been more or less worried,
has turned out to be very simple. That
was the question of obtaining suitable
rock. There is plenty of rock to be
had and of the right quality. There
is the big ledge in Puma that we have
known of for some time, and which is
the kind that we want, but, instead
of being tied down to this, there is
plenty more that we can get at much
closer. There is a fine ledge to the
north that can be brought to the scene
of work in scows or barges, and back
of the town of Hilo is a fine deposit
which is available. There are still
other sources from which we can OBJ
tain the desired material. With this
difficulty out of the way, [ feel that
we are able to go ahead with little
to hinder the work that is to be done.
''I have not received the specifea-
tions for the contract back from Wash
ington as yet. but may do so in the
next mail and bids will be called for
at once. The contract will be adver
tised in the newspapers in. this city,
San Francisco, New York and in Hilo.
I expect that the bids win be open
ed during the month of February"

FINE RESIDENCES
At SMALL EXPENSE

a chance for some one who desires
fine residence at a nominal rental
may be easily found. There are four
houses belonging to the United States
government located at Waikiki beach,
for which tenants are desired. The
houses are located on the beach and
consist of the Along residence, the
Schaefer residence and cottage. and
the Hebron place.
There are some repairs needed to
the houses, while a little work along
the beach, to keep the grounds in re-
pair, is also required. In return for
this, several of the best residences OF
the city may be obtained for practical
IL nothing. While it would be impos-
ssble to state teat tenant would be
allowed to stay for any certain length
of time, it is doubtful if the land,
which was purchased by the United
States for fertilization purposes, viii
be needed for at least a couple of
years. OF course only responsible
people would be allowed to take up
the proposition. Captain Otwell, of the
L. S. S. Engineer Corps, has charge
Of the buildings and property.

HOW RATS WERE RAIDED

and the merry running round of the
animals on the ceiling in the evening.
When plague epidemic commences
among the animals, the houses will
become very quiet, and not a single
rat Will appear on the ceiling for even
ing strolls, and the dwellers must take
the stiffness as a warning of the fu-
ture outbreak of the epidemic among
human beings
The government encouraged the kill
ing of the rats in every possible way.
by buying them from the people and
by means of traps and poisons. 1t en-
ployed gang Of professional men to
kill the rats, being regularly paid by
the government, who devote their en-
tire time ta catching rats by all sorts
of means. They are not only the in
ventors of many traps, but they are
quite expert in catching the rats by
the gloved hand. whenever they find
the holes in the ground. They have
particular means of driving the ami
mails out of the holes, and as one rat
after another comes out of its sub
terranean abode. they grab them inn
mediately. and throw them hard on
the ground. killing them one after the
other with indescribable quickness,
sometimes killing hundreds of the ami
mails in short period.
The government is spending an enor-

NO MORE CHOLERA
SEEMS LIKELY
No New Cases Have Developed
Wife of the Victim
Is Better.

Conditions yesterday in the cholera
situation were reassuring. No new eases
have developed. The wife of the first
victim was better yesterday than she
was the day before, and it is not
thought now that she has the cholera.
She drank all the brandy yesterday
that was supplied her, and seemed to
epjoy it.
The first, and so far the only vic
tim, was discovered in a two-story
frame building facing River street be-
tween Kukui and Vineyard streets.
There are large, number of tenements
right at this locality inhabited by rep
resentatives of nearly all the races and
nationalities in Honolulu. These build
ings have all been declared infected
by the Board of Health. The people
who lived in them to the number of
seventy have been removed to the Ka-
iihi detention camp where additional
accommodations have been provided.
Yesterday they were all in good fealth
and most of them rather enjoying the
situation except six or seven Chinese
who had been deprived of their accus-
toned opium smoke and felt very bad
ly about it. Later they were provided
with material and enabled to hit the
pipe, after which there was. unalloYed
satisfaction in the camp.
The populace of this new isolation
city includes almost every nationality
that is represented in the islands. There
are even some of the newly arrived
Spanish immigrants there. So far as
varieties of language are concerned, the
building of the Tower of Babel could
not have exhibited much wider range.
The houses on River street, thus sud
denly bereft of their tenants, are be-
ing thoroughly disinfeeted and fumi-
gated The surroundings are being
thoroughly cleaned up and all debris
is being given to the flames. The place
is in charge of Board or Health inspee-
tors, anu entrance TO all not acting
under the Board of Health is forbid
den The street itself from Kukui to
Vineyard is tabu.
This morning the Nuuanu stream it
self will be disinfected. The disin-
fectant used will have sulphuric acid
for basis. The presence of sulphuric
acid in water is an indication that it
is not fit to drink.
The discovery of this one case of
cholera seems to have had moral in
fiuenee far beyond the immediate viein-
ity of where the case was discovered.
In Aala there was much evidence of
cleaning up, and putting of houses and
yards in better sanitary condition.
Sacrifeial fires of rubbish and debris to
the goddess of cleanliness were burning
in many places, and their smoke as
cending was an omen of better health
conditions.
