SAN FRANCISCO
AND ITS LEPER5
Refers to Committee the Plan
to Send Cases to
M0l0kai.s

SAN FRANCISCO, November TO-
The Health Officers recommendation
that the few leper patients now at the
city's Twenty-sixth-street hospital be
sent under Federal auspices to the Mo
lokai settlement and that the hospital
itself be condemned as unsanitary was
referred by the Board of Health yester-
day to its hospital committee. DR..
Blue of the Marine Hospital Service
informed the commission that the gov
eminent did not have a general leper
hospital in the islands, and that Molo-
kai was under the supervision of the
territorial authorities.
Provision will be made for the few
smallpox patients now in the adjoining
hospital, and it, with the leper building.
viii be done away with as soon as good
quarters can be secured through the
$4,000 appropriation made for new
contagious hospital.
DR.. William R. Dorr was appointed
warden at the City and County hospital
yesterday, and, in addition to the duties
of that Office, will perform those of the
commissary, the latter office being abol-
ished.
Mayor Taylor visited the session of
the Board to keep in touch with its
workings, but made no particular rec
concentrations.
The Board heard several complaints
against the owners of unsanitary sta
bles and lodgings, and referred all the
cases to Health Officer Gum, with
power to act if the nuisances were not
promptly abated.

HAS MARROW ESCAPE.

While engaged in fumigating the
Oceanic Steamship Company's steamer
Alameda in San Francisco, DR.. Drew,
chief quarantine office, was overcome
by the fumes while in the hold of the
steamer. He was Just able to crawl
to the tween decks. where he coll
lapsed. He was quickly carried to the
open air. but only revived sufficiently
to be taken home. DR.. Drew was con-
fined to his room as a result of his
misadventure, and according to experts
on his own staff has had a very mar
row escape.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-11-23

More than the usual crowd greeted
the Alameda yesterday from san Fran
cisco and those aboard who We're
strangers to the city were much i'm
pressed by the show of population,
many of them remarking that they
had not supposed Honolulu could pro-
duce such turnout. The Oceanic
wharf was crowded behind the great
sliding barred-gates and on the end
of Fort street there was an overflow
gathering that was itself very large
The people on the wharf at the foot
of Fort street had the advantage, for
they were able to see the Alameda and
exchange words with people on deck
before she locked, as she was passing
to her berth.
1t was from this crowd that the first
welcome was shouted to the home
coming Barney Joy, the fourteen base
ball players of Mique Fishers aggre-
cation and the fifteen members of
the Eileford Company of players, to-
gether with numerous Honolulu folk
coming home.
The Alameda was expected to ar
rive soon after daylight, but she was
nearly two hours late in leaving San
Francisco and she got into bad wealth.

which made some folks seasick dur
ing the first and second days The
rest of the trip was delightful and
there was much merriment
At $40 O'Clock yesterday morning
the Alameda was reported and at 10
o'clock she was off the harbor, dock
ing at Has. On account of health
conditions in san Francisco a most
careful examination was made by the
local Federal health officials of all
passengers and the crew. AS there
were % cabin and SO steerage passen-
gers this took considerable time, near
ly two hours.
One case excited suspicion! It was
that of lady in the cabin who show
ed swellings in the neck and at first
glance her appearance suggested
plague, but a thorough examination
brought the decision that it was moth
ing more alarming than case of
mumps. Since it is required that seven
days must elapse between leaving San

REPORTED HOLDUP
On kAL|HI ROAD

Walking past the Puea cemetery af-
ter dark last night, on his way home
from warm discussion of the chances
of Honolulu against the Fisher bunch,
Solomon Palau felt the fingers Of an
unseen hand cIutching at. his throat.
He pulled. up so suddenly on the re-
verse that he toppled over backwards
among the glue bushes, but he retain
ed his presence of mind enough to pull
a gun and fire a couple of shots heav-
onward. Heavy footsteps of his re-
treating foe were heard. Then Palau
beat a mastery retreat for his own
home, beside Frank Harvey's on Ka-
lihi road. He was so excited at his
narrow escape from being help up that
he could not explain to his folks what
had happened and the reason why he
kept fourishing his gun. Thinking he
had suddenly graduated into the pu-
pule class his relatives disarmed him
and gradually got him into a position
where he could relate his adventure.
Then, properly escorted, he went to
the police with his tale. 1t may have
been a holdup who had him by the
neck and it may have been glue bush
branch which threw him on his back.
He thinks it was a bad Porto Rtcan
after his money

THANKSGIVING DAY PROGRAM.
AS curtain raiser on Thanksgiving
Day it has been arranged that the Pa
lamas and the Chinese Athletic Club
mines viii play before the big game, a
cup being hung up for the winners.
The struggle for the championship OF
the Aala league between these two
teams has won for them ereat atten-
ton, but so far few of the enthusiasts
Waikiki Of Fort street have had an
opportunity of seeing either team in
action. This game then should be Of
particular interest to the public, while
the visitors are looking forward with
a great deal of curiosity to see what
a real Chinese baseball team can do.
So far none of the visitors have been
traced back as far as Missouri, but
practically all of them declare that
they have to be shown before they
viii credit the fact that Cinnamon can
make any kind of a fist of the great
American game. And the c. a. C.'s

READ YOUR TICKET
Walter Doyle. who has been handling
the reserved seat pasteboards for the
games, is worrying over the fact that
there may be a nIixup over the tickets.
The date upon which the different
tickets ares good is printed plainly on
the faces of them, but as the tickets
are good only on that particular date
he wishes to impress upon everyone
the necessity of reading their ticket
carefully before coming to the grounds,
as no changes can be made there. The
one who in the confusion of going to
see Red Dog Devereaux grabs the
wrong slip will be in pilii>ia.
BARNEY CONFIDENT FOR HA-
wall.
Barney Joy is optimistic. He de-
clares that the locals will have good
chance of making a showing against
the visitors and may possibly squeeze
out a victory.
'nf the boys go right up against
them and play ball 1 don't see why
we shouldn't keep these fellow guess
ing" he said yesterday. LET us Just
think that we are going up against
something our own size. forget that
by rights we ought to be stagestruck
and never mind anything that Red
Dog says and 1t will be all pololei."
Yesterday afternoon Barney had
Reuter- behind the screen under the
grandstand, pointing out the different
players at practise and telling him
their blind sides. JOY is extremely
anxious to make his Coast colleagues
think that they are playing ball when
they go up against the Honolulu boys
and he is striving with might ana
main for a victory today.
