MOLOKAI SEVEN REPLY
To PRESIDENT PINKHAM

Chas x. Motley has received a letter
from his brother William at Kalau-
papa, enclosing President Pinkham's
technical questions" to the Committee
of Seven, together with the commit
tees replies thereto, regarding Wal
lach's new conditions for his proposed
curative experiment. The amount OF it
all is that the committee brushes aside
the technicaIities of the questions, and
makes it clear to the president of the
Board of Health that they are dis
pleased at the delaying of the business
and consider Wallach's new conditions
reasonable.
Mr. Pinkham, in his interrogations,
makes a statement OF Federal law
bearing on contagious diseases, with
this conclusion:
''In case local authorities lose control
of any of the six diseases enumerated,
or the interests of the United States
become jeopardized, the local authori-
ties may apply for temporary Federal
control without act of Congress. In
the case of plague in San Francisco
the Federal authorities are now in
control, as the local authorities could
not manage the situation. The same
action is in contemplation in Seattle.
In case of yellow fever in Cuba, the
United States is in control because the
Cuban government is incompetent TO
control sanitary conditions or maintain
good order. thus threatening the health
and interests of the United States"
Then he quotes Territorial law rela-
ting to control of the Settlement and
the Kalihi receiving station. and, re-
minding the committee of their ex-
pressed desire to conform to the law,
submits Wallach's new conditions to
them for their judgment thereon. Their
reply was as already stated, a conclu-
ding remark being: I'VE want all sat
isfed at the start, and, particularly.
we do not want Mr. J. Lor Wallach
to start in his work with patients that
for any reasons he objects to-

CLASH BETWEEN SOLDIERS
AND POLICE EXPLAINED

Sergeant Barry, who commanded the
detachment of Red Cross men during
the two days of the Wild West Show,
called upon Sheriff Iaukea yesterday
IN regard to what his men and some
of the officers of the National Guard
considered uncalled for conduct on the
part of the police at the baseball park
on Saturday Barry told the Sheriff
that Captain Parker had made use OF
the expression, Put those damn SOL
diers out of here" and also threatened
to arrest him, Barry, if he made any
protest.
Sheriff Iaukea explained that the po-
nice had to be firm in carrying out
the order given them to put everyone
down off the fence, no exception haV~
ing been made in the order given by
F,ben Low of the streteher bearers, ana
If being therefore beyond the power
of the police TO make any exceptions,
esneciaIIv when the crowd was unruly
and refused to move unless the sol
1iers were made to. He stated, now
ever. that he would investigate the
charge that insulting language had
heen used. and if the fact was estao-
Hshed an apology to the men OF the
National Guard would be made.

HONOKAA BOOKKEEPER
SHORT FOUR THOUSAND

Siegfried Gundelfnger, the head
bookkeeper of the Honokaa plantation
on Hawaii. has been placed under ar
rest for embezzlement of plantation
funds and is now in jail in Hilo await
ing trial The amount of the defal-
cation is stated to be four thousand
dollars.
The full particulars of the arrest and
charge have not been given out, but
il is supposed that the money repre-
sents the cash receipts of the planta-
ton for sugar supplied local stores
and a portion of the receipts of the
plantation stores. To have on hand
the amount of money said TO be stolen
is something quite out of the ordinary
on any plantation. except just in the
neighborhood Of pay day, at a time
when any great shortage would be
found out at once.

GRUENTHAL MAY
BE BROUGHT BACK

It is possible that a cablegram VIII
be sent today to the Chief Of Police
at san Francisco to place GruenthaI,
the abseondfng chicken man from Kali
muki, under arrest on the arrival OF
the s. s. China, should it turn out that
he is aboard that ship. 1t seems to
have been pretty wen established that
the young poulterer has in various
ways succeeded in doing local people
out of about 500. some in loans made
to him and others in cash advanced
for poultry which has never been de-
Hvered.
The China is due to arrive in san
Francisco on Thursday, so whatever
steps are to be taken TO have him
brought back to Honolulu win nave
to be decided upon today or tomor-
row. AZ it is decided to arrest him

A LOCKOUT At
THE WASHHOUSE
Theodore Richards Tenants Fail
to Pay Rent and Are
Shut Ont.

81 want put something in news
paper, a large Chinese of businesslike
appearance said in this Office last night
You tell people l no can wash
clothes this week for no got steam Mr..
Richards he want too much money and
| no pay him, and he stop my steam.
''No put too many words in paper, "
the laundrvrnan resumed. 81 only want
tell lady, family, no can wash with
out steam.
It seems that the twenty-five laun-
drymen composing the Hop Yick Kung
500 refuse, or at least have failed,
to pay the SIS month due December
j for their rent for laundry quarters
in the Richards building, insisting that
they shall pay only $17.
The contract with the Hop Yick
Kung Soo,'' said Theodore Richards
when asked in regard to the matter
last night, sprovides that they shall
pay SIT month, and in addition shall
pay the salary of a competent man
who shall have charge of the building,
see that the Board of Health regula-
tions are complied with, and look after
the boilers in which steam is gener-
ated The salary of this man is 500
month The share of each member
of the Hop Yiek Kung 500 under this
contract would be nearly three dollars
a month However when we began the
operation of the washhouses, / told
them that | would not insist on that
clause of the contract, but that each
of them should pay dollar month
toward this man s salary, and L would
pay the balance. For some reason they
have objected to paying it. 1t was due
the first of the month, and is not paid
vet. So I have refused to turn on
the steam until it is paid. Anyone of
them can get steam by paying what IS
due.
"The Waterhouse establishment adj
joining which is supplied with water
and steam from the same source has
eight of its twelve compartments rent
ed and for these the tenants pay $50
month. The water alone which Is
supplied these laundrymen and is in
cluded in the charge of SIS month,
if taken from the city mains and paid
for at meter rates would cost them
nearly $50 a month.
When housekeepers find that they
will not get their laundry this week
they will know the reason why.

During the raiding on a number of
gambling joints on Sunday the police
officers visited notorious gambling
and opium joint on upper Fort street
Among those present was the Chinese
Consul, Chang Tso Fan. Chief Taylor
who headed the raid, did not place
the Consul under arrest. although all
others present were booked.
In connection with the publicity
given the affair, the following COM
munication, from the president of the
United Chinese Society, has been sent
to this paper:
OFFICIAL BUSINESS ONLY.
Editor Advertiser: The statement
published in the Evening Bulletin is
that the facts attending the case were
such that a charge could have been
made against the Chinese Consul OF
being present at a gambling game,
were it not for his high official posi-
ton.
I have investigated the matter and
found that our Consul was present,
sbut he was not there to gamble. He
went to see a person on official BUSH
ness. The statement published by the
Evening Bulletin that a charge could
have been made against our Consul of
being present at a gambling game,
were it not for his high official posi-
ton, was an Intentional insult to-
wards our Consul Mr.. Chang Tso Fan.
/ believe our Consul sometimes takes
such enjoyment in play with his
well-known friends, but he does not
play for profit or try to make his
fortune. He holds a high position and
he knows what is right to do.
1 know that many white prominent
citizens enjoy such games in those
high places.
Thanking you, Mr.. Editor. very re-
speetfully,\
CHU GEM,
President of United Chinese Society.

Boost. Don't Knock.

A little weak chick with its soft
little bill can break it's way out of an
egg with comparative ease. Those of
you who have tried cracking an egg
on your nucRles wonder how the
chick does it. Scientists have very
simple explanation for it, which is
this: The chick knocks from the in
side and the arrangement of the par
ticles that make the shell is such
that they are easily driven apart from
the inside but are wedged together
when Struck from the outside. It's
the same way with a. city. The
knocks from the outside have little
effect, but even light taps from the
inside are disastrous It's the knock
ers at home that hurt city Don t
knock; boost instead, and there will
