No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen
uine testimonials as has Lydia Il.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia <. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
fitted by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any wOmanany day may
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
may read the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to a healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia

1t is fortunate that we are no longer
asked to give credit to the story that
objection was made at Berlin against
the coming of DR.. Hill, on the ground
of the insufficiency of his fortune to
maintain the profuse and stately hos
pitality his predecessor was able
to offer to his friends and guests. 1t
was at once seen that this placed the
President in a position of no little
embarrassment. He could not for a
moment assent to the view that great
wealth is to be considered an indis-
pensable qualification for our diplo-
matte representatives The Ameri-
can people, it need hardly be said,
would not have approved any action
on his part indicating his acceptance
of that theory. The Berlin incident
will have borne good fruit if it shall
serve as a ground for intimating to
our future Ambassadors, to what
ever post, that sumptuous manner
of living and entertainment will not
increase the esteem and confidence in
which they are held by their own
Government

The United States Supreme Court
in decision handed down yesterday,
declared that dealings in futures are
not interstate commerce and that the
state of Alabama has a right to tax
such transactions. This is a kind of
consolation prize for the recent de-

extreme punishment an appeal from a
state to a Federal court.

We were glad to meet our friend
Mr.. Dudley Hughes, of Danville, who
called on us while in town Thursday
But we cannot support Mr.. Hughes il
his campaign against Hon E. B
Lewis for Congress. Neither can the
Enterprise and for reasons that We
stated to Mr.. Hughes. Mr.. Hughes
is a good man and a good citizen and
has the respect of the district but we
feel that E. B. Lewis deserves another
term in Congress, and not only that
but he has measures before that body
which are of great Importance tc
Fitzgerald and Ben Hill county and
he will need to be returned to carry
them through.
Mr.. Lewis is especially concerned
in securing an odd Soldiers Home
for Fitzgerald and is working hard to
secure the necessary passage of pend
ing bills for appropriation for it.
In his announcement Mr.. Lewis
states he will not be a candidate for
the office again and if for no other
reason than to secure the passage OF
the bills now pending, he deserves the
support of every voter who has Fitz-
gerald and Ben Hill county interests
at heart.-FitzgeraI Enterprise

In the Lee Let case yesterday Frank
Thompson's cross-examination of CHIEF
of Detectives Taylor occupied the
whole forenoon. In his cross-exami-
nation Thompson used the reports that
were made by Taylor to the Sheriff
and the Attorney General at the time
of the occurrences, as they were pHb=
lished or summarized in the Adver-
tiser's account of the matter. He
sought to make the witness contradict
himself or to appear to do so, and in
several instances the witness acknowl-
edged that his recollection of incident
al matters was at fault In the essen
tial particulars of his testimony as to
the events leading up to and including
the giving of the fifty dollars to him
by Lee Let as payment on account
for the proposed plan of protected
gambling, Tay1or's testimony was en-
ffteIy unshaken.
Taylor testified that his meeting with
Ayres as the Queens Hospital was ac-
cidental, but when his memory was
refreshed he recalled that it was by
appointment. There were several cor
rections of that character brought out
in the same way.
Thompson inquired as to the fact
that the reports that Taylor made
were seen by w. G. Smith and w. A
Kinney who was Sheriff Iaukea's law
yer as well as by the Sheriff and the
General.
Taylor said that he had felt and had
expressed to Ayres that this case Of
fered a chance to make a record for
himself and the police department.
At the afternoon session H. M. Ayres
was called to the witness stand. He
said that he had seen Lee Let on Feb
ruary 5, 1907, at the Yuen Chong store.
He had gone there with Taylor.

AN ELOQUENT COP
MAKES HIS REPORT

The following thrilling account of a
mixup between a japanese dray and
a Rapid Transit car at the corner of
Kukui street and Nuuanu avenue last
evening about half past six, was turn
ed in by officer E, w. Kawaiaea:
Prior to the collision while I was
standing on the corner of kukui and
Nuuanu avenue I saw Misuda driv-
ing his dray from Beretania street to-
wards Kukui Of course he was on
his right hand side about 100 or more
feet from Kukui street when the said
Misuda switched his route crossing the
track on the Eva side of Nuuanu
street Had he stood there for some
times the collision wouldn't have hap
pened but no. he drove it back again
intending to go to Fort street recross-
ing the track again. Just then car No.
10 come down at a very slow speed,
the gong ringing as it came down.
But regardless Of the warning the Jap
kept driving on. The motorman who
was navigating the said car tried to
stop the machine. The track being so
slippery on account OF the rain it slid
on regardless of the brakes. 1t struck
the hind end of the wagon which caus-
ed some of the furniture 70 fail. Really
there was no death occurred

/ ritory could not do it for lack of funds.
In this emergency, Mr.. F. w. Pease,
the architect and constructor for the
Marine Hospital Service, suggested
that if the Board of Health would
enter into an agreement to supply the
leprosarium 200, 900 gallons of water a
day in perpetuity, he would recon-
mend that the Surgeon General au-
thorize the expenditure of the neces-
cary amount of money to extend the
eight-inch pipeline up to the source of
supply and construct the necessary
works there to collect the water. Be
fore he would make the recommended
ton, however he asked for an esti
mate of the cost and an agreement
from the Board of Health for the sup
ply of water. The estimate was made
by Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell and was for S4050.
This Mr.. Campbell stated was suffi
cient for the purpose and the depart
ment would undertake to do the work
for that, provided the money was put
at its disposal so that it's drafts in
payment for work and supplies would
be promptly met.
Blueprint maps of the region have
been made showing the part of the
Settlement where the pipeline is To-
Gated. and of Waikolo Valley, whence
the water will come. With the head
of water which this stream will give, it
is estimated that the eight-inch pipe
will carry more than a million gallons
a day, giving the Settlement much
larger supply of water than it has ever
had before.
The board agreed to the plans and
directed President Cofer to enter into
the necessary arrangements.

CHASED A STEER
AND RESCUED A MAN

LikeIike and his boats crew from,
the steamer Helene had a very excit-
ing chase after a steer on Wednesday
morning which resulted in the death
of the steer and the saving of the life
of a japanese fisherman, rescued from
the bottom of his upturned boat close
to the breakers off Kalihi harbor.
On her way into the harbor when
nearing the lighthouse, a steer broke
loose from his fastening on the steam
er Helene and taking the side in a
bound put for the open sea.
Likelfke and a crew were sent after
the steer which headed across the reef
in the direction of Kalihi harbor en-
trance The boat could not make as
much headway as the steer because
while there was water enough on the
reef to float the boat the water was
SO shallow that the steer had good
footing and could run. He was chas-
ed to the channel entrance to Kalihi
harbor where he again took to the
deep water and after swimming near
ly half mile was captured but died
from drowning soon after.
On the way back to Honolulu, the
boys in the boat saw another boat
just outside the breakers which were
piling in with much force. They saw
the body of man on it and never
thinking of the danger to themselves
or their boat put out through the
breakers to see what the matter was
with the capsized craft. 1t proved TO
be a japanese fishing boat which had
turned over a bout three o'clock in the
morning and to which its sole occu-
pant had clung until almost exhausted
The Jap whose name was not learn
ed was taken aboard the boat of MS
rescuers and his boat taken in tow
and both taken to the fishermen's
landing makai of the channel wharf.
Joe Fern who was direct
ing the chase for the steer from the
long approach to the Quarantine sta
ton gave LikeIike and his crew each
a quarter for themselves as a reward
for their painstaking effort TO get the
steer The saving Of the Jap's life
was only a matter Of course with the
Hawaiian boatmen. They looked for
no reward for that.

BOARD Of HEALTH
HOLDS MEETING
Scope of the Home for Boys
of N0n-Lepr0us
Parents.

The Board of Health held a regular
| meeting yesterday afternoon, at which
there We're present, besides President
Cofer, Dr.. J. T. Wayson, Attorney
General Hemenway, D. Kalauokalani,
James F. Morgan, Fred C. Smith and
NJ. P. Robinson,
DR.. Grace, the Board Of Health agent
at Hiie, reported that bids had been
received for the Fepair and plumbing
of the Hilo quarantine station. For
the carpenter work J. A. c. Carter
was the lowest bidder, $2o9, and the
TIiio Mercantile Company was the
lowest bidder for the plumbing. AS
DR.. Grace did not state that tenders
We're advertised for though presuma-
bly, they were, the matter was left to
the president to award the contract
and have the work done.
Captain Otwell was given permission
to tap the water pipeline which runs
through the Settlement and take there
from about 300 gallons of water a day
Applications for wash-house permits
from Man Chu, Hotel street, near the
river; Que Fong, King street, near
Alapai, and Lee Duck, Pauoa road,
near Nuuanu avenue, were denied.
A petition was received from leper
at Kalaupapa asking the board to take
fts son, fourteen-year-old, non-lep-
rous child, now living with his aunt
in Hon0fB4u and put him in the home
for non-lepFGus boys of leprous par
ents and provfds for him there.
As this petition calls for an adoption
of policy, no action was taken, but the
matter went over for consideration to
the meeting. The boy, though the nom
leprous son of leprous parents, has
never been at the Settlement In a
general way, the home was supposed
to be for boys who have been until
now living with their parents at the
Settlement. AT the same time, the law
dos not limit its scope to such. and
the question is whether the board shall
decide to enlarge the present scope of
the home to admit boys who have
been cared for separately and apart !
from their Ieprous parents.
Another matter which was held over
for further considera ton, because it
involves a question of policy, was the
custody of his brother. the latter be- i
ing in the home for non-leprous boys,
theaboys parents both being dead.

SOME LICENSES HELD UP
BECAUSE Of COMPLAIN IS

At the meeting of the Oahu License
Commissioners held yesterday forenoon
two licenses were granted and one re-
fused. Several were held in allegiance
and at a meeting this afternoon, to
which the applicants have been notified
to be present the latter will have a
eart-to-heart talk with the commits
sioners. It seems that there have been
complaints received lately from the
soldiers and sailors passing through
here on transports regarding the SER
vice they have received at some OF the
cheaper places. The commissioners
will read these complaints in open
meeting and give those complained of
chance to answer. The coming of
the fleet is being looked forward to by
the saloon keepers with longing and
it is to warn tricky dealers that they
must comply strictly with the letter
of the law that the meeting is to be
held tomorrow.
Of the licenses before the commits
sioners yesterday those of the Sun
shine Kamehameha and Kilohana
looms were renewed while the applica-
tion of S. Kihugama of IwiIei was re-
fused. The proprietor of the Hoffman
saloon asked leave to withdraw his
application and did so upon receiving
permission.
