FORTS
Two Dollars a DayL looks
Big to Them---Here
to Stay.

Jewalla Singh and his forty-four
eopntrymen, who are at work on the
Honolulu and Eva plantations, want
to pack their turbans and move into
Pearl City to go to work on the fortifi-
cations. They are drawing down more
money in day now than they could
get for working a week in their own
Punjab, but report has reached them
that the wages every day at the fortifi-
cations is more than a month s stipend
in India, and they want it. Four
annas, equal to eight cents, is the aver
age laborer's s wage per day in India
and two dollars day would put Jewal-
la Singh and his slack-trousered com.
patriots in the nabob class at one jump.
With such dreams of wealth in their
minds, the Hindus have sent couple
of embassies from the plantations to
the only man in Honolulu who can
talk their language, James A. Rath. SUI
perintendent of the Palama mission,
firmation of the wild report that such
wages as two dollars a day is really
paid to anyone. Mr.. Rath has confirm
ed the report but dashed the cup from
the thirsty lips by further informing
the Hindus that this work is only for
citizens and advising them that they
had best stay on the plantations where
they are and where they state they
have been SO far satisfied.
There are now forty-fye Hipdus on
this island, thirty five of them at the
Honolulu plantation and ten at Eva.
They are. so far as can be learned,
proving satisfactory as laborers and

BIC TORTOISE
FROM LAHAINA 4
SheIlback From Mountainside
on Maui Comes to
Town.

Professor Thompson of the Bishor
Museum, passing through the fshmar
ket yesterday In search of his matuti
nal mullet, came across Brazilian tor
toise displayed on G 8. Yee Hop
stand in the market, and which was
attracting good deal attention from
the passers by.
Thompson lost no time in 'phoning
to the police station and informed
Chief of Detectives Taylor that in the
interests of the Territory the tortoise
ought to be secured and searched for
noxious parasites.
Taylor mentioned the matter to a
subordinate who suggested that the
tortoise be arrested and booked for
investigation. This course of action,
howes3r, didn't appeal to the chief as
being quite the right thing to do, so
ne 'phoned Acting Government En-.
tomologist Kotinsky the momentous
news and it was not long before the
busy bug hunter was at the fishmarket
searching for the tortoise.
6 When he arrived there was no tor
toiee to be seen. The Chinese stall.
keepers said that there had been honu
'fiilii there but that man had taken
it away, they knew not where.
A careful inspection of the stalls
brought no result but eventually the
tortoise was located in the store of
zee Hoy, nailed up in a crate marked

1t appears that the reptile arrived
from Maui by the steamer Claudine
yesterday morning being brought by
Chinaman who claims that he caught
the beast forty years ago on a noun,

not much larger than the palm of a
person s hand but thanks to a liberal
diet of sweet potatoes and watermelon
rind has increased in size till TODAY it

in diameter, and weighs in the neigh.
borhood of twenty pounds. 1t is land
tortoise and in appearance resembles an
exaggerated specimen of the little tor
toises which have from time to time
been peddled on the local streets.
The owner of the tortoise intends to
take it to China where it will be vener-
ated as family god and may in time
receive the propitiations of the multi
tude, reclining comfortably on gold
embroidered cushion in a punky joss
house.

DIR. Cofer has resigned his position
as president of the Board of Health.
He rendered his resignation to Gov
ernor Frear yesterday afternoon and
it was reluctantly accepted. The rea-
son for resigning, given by DR.. Cofer,
is that he is an officer of the United
States government and his first duty is
due to it, and he does not feel that he
should occupy the position of president
of the Territorial Board of Health
while his eligibility to that Office is
questioned, the objection to his being
eligible being that he is at present an
.offlcer of the United States government.
At the same time that DIR. Cofer ten
dered his resignation, he stated to the
Governor that, while severing his Of
fetal relations with the Territorial
Board of Health, his services were at
the disposal of the Governor or the
Board of Health, without compensation,
in any way in which he could be Of
assistance.

CIRCUMSTANCES
ALTER CASES
Pacific Mail Changes Tune in
Matter of Accommodation
on Their Boats.

Circumstances alter eases, and it al
depends on how the play comes up
When the Hawaiian Delegate to Con.
gress was urging the suspension of the
coastwise shipping laws to enable Ha
waii passengers, to and from, to get ac-
eommodation when it was wanted or
without having to book weeks in ad,
vance, the representatives of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company informed the
Congressional committees that the Pa
cifc Mail liners were seldom filed by
passengers, and that the present steam
ship accommodations between San Fran
cisco and Hawaii were fully equal to
all the demands that might be made.
In view of these statements, the fol
lowing communication from A. G. D.
Kerrell, the general passenger agent of
the Pacific Mail, to H. P. Wood, is in
teresting. Of course, the circumstances
are different. The letter is:

"Dear Mr.. Wood: This will ae-
knowledge receipt of yours of the 5th
inst with regard to proposed conven-
tion, in Honolulu, of the American AS
sociation for the Advancement of SCI
ence, at which it is expected there
might be some 200 attendants.
fFIt is entirely too early to say what
special rate if any, we could make for
this meeting; even if we could accom-
modate such large number at a time.
As YOU are aware, our ships have been
sailing from here quite full, ami The
booking of so large party as 900
would be entirely out of the question,
should such conditions continue.
81 think that you can see it would
be rather a difficult matter for lis to
make such low rate of 800 for the
round trip. for a party of 100 or more,
when he find it difficult to accommo-
date our regular business at $135. /
am, however, particularly DESTROYS of
doing what we can, when we find out
how it can be done.
Should the secretary, Mr. Howard,
choose to take the matter up later on,
we may be able to say more definitely
what can be done. [ do not think,
however. that any satisfactory infor-
nation could be given until early in
1910.

association in Washington, as desired
