CUTS
OUT SHERMAN
LINES BUSY ALONG PACIFIC
COAST AND TRANSPORT TOLD
TO SHUT" UP.

1t was thought yesterday morning
that the Naval station here was in
communication with the United States
Army transport Sherman which this
morning arrived from San Francisco.
+ Barber's Point got the impression
that the Naval operator was talking
with the Sherman, but it develops that
the Sherman was calling the Naval sta
tion and giving her own signal: "A
Y U-A T U-A 7 u"
Hearing the "A T U'' the aerograph-
er at Barber's Point thought the Ma
val station was calling the troopship,
but all the time the troopship was call
ing the station, giving her own signal
for Identification.
Barber's Point had service messages
to put aboard from Honolulu people,
but could not reach the transport.
1t was 8 o'clock last evening before
the Naval station could get the trans
port and messages were exchanged, the
transport announcing that she wanted
100 tons of coal and that she had elev-
The Wireless Telegraph Company's s
operators were off watch at that time
and service messages did not get
aboard.
There is disappointment aboard the
Sherman, in the heart of her wireless
operator, for he was shut up time and
time again after leaving San Francis
co in his efforts to communicate by
wireless with coast wireless stations.
Every station on the coast seemed to
be talking with the big fleet. There
were messages flashing all the time, it
seemed, between Washington and the
sixteen battleships, by way of North
Head, Point Iona, Mare Island and
other stations and every time the
transport butted in there came back
the command Shut up!"
Most Of the messages between Wash
ington and the fleet were code and ex-
perimental.

DR.. COFER TAKES
CHARGE OF THE
BOARD OF HEALTH
HE is INTRODUCED BY HIGHLY
GOVERNOR FREAR-coRDhLLY WELCOMED MEM
BEERS PREsENT-DoEs NOT ANNOUNCE HIS POLICY TO
BoARD-MAKEs A STATEMENT FOR THE STAR

DR.. l.. f. Cofer, the new president
of the Territorial Board of Health,
called a meeting of the Board at 10
O'Clock this morning, which was held
with Dr. Wayson, Attorney General
Hemenway and f. c. Smith present,
the other three members, ID. Kalau-
okalani, Mark Robinson and the new
member, James f. Morgan. being alb
sent Mr.. Morgan arrived just after
the meeting had adjourned, explain
ing that he had been unavoidably de-
layed.
The meeting was devoid of any in
cidents of especial note. Mr.. Pink
ham, the retiring president, had NOV
ed all of his private property from
the rooms of the Board yesterday,
and was not present.
After waiting about twenty minutes
for the arrival of absent members
who did not come, Dr. Cofer called
the meeting to order. Secretary Char
lock read a communication from Gov
ernor Frear to the members of the
Board, announcing the appointment of
DR.. Cofer as president and speaking
in high terms of the ability of the
new official.
DR.. Cofer spoke very briefly, saying
that he hoped that he could live up
to the very complimentary letter of
the Governor.
| Each of the members present took
turns in expressing their pleasure at
DR.. Cofers appointment, and pledg-
ing their cooperation and support in
every way in their power. F. c.
Smith then presented a resolution
comforting executive powers in very
| full degree upon the new president
which was adopted by the meeting.
The resolution is similar to that car
ried by President Pinkham, and Gol-
lows:
RESOLVED: That the Board of
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-04-14

Health instruct and empower its Presi-
dent to act as executive officer of
said Board of Health, with all the
powers and duties necessary for car
rying on the executive work of said
Board; to make the necessary ap-
pointments, changes and enforce all
regulations and directions of the
Board, subject to the ratification by
the Board at regular or special meet
ings; to carry out the wishes of the
Board, as expressed at regular meet
ings, through the proper subordinates,
and to see that the same are carried
out, with full power and authority,
subject to ratification of the Board
of Health at regular or special meet
ings.
DIR. Cofer then explained to the
Board that he had nothing TO say as
to policy, or details in the matter OF
carrying on the work, but would have
to ask for time enough to familiarize
himself with things pertaining to the
department. Later he stated to a Star
reporter that he expects to carry on
the work of the Office absolutely in
dependent of the Federal hospital and
quarantine service of which he is also
head in the Territory
"The work of the two Offices" said
DR.. Cofer, will be absolutely separ-
ate. l shall act as though / were two
different persons holding entirely diff
ferent offices, even to writing letters
to myself when necessary to commin-
icate from one Office to the other A
different set of employees will be main
tained, and in every way l shall aim
to keep the work from becoming in
volved."
Before adjourning the Board grant,
ed six months leave of absence to
DR.. c. l.. Stow, the Territorial physi-
clan at Hilo, and appointing in his
place DR.. J. ]. Grace

Another
Sumner
Trust

A deed of trust was this morning
filed for record in the Bureau Of Con-
veyances in which John K. Sumner
places all his property, both real and
personal, in the hands of Cecil Brown
as trustee. Tne document in pream-
BILE recites that the instrument is made
because of the advancing years and un-
certain health of the grantOr, who is a
widower and has no children living,
but has various collateral relatives
for some of whom he desires to make
provision" and also to provide for his
care in his own old age, and TO ex-
clude from the benefits certain rela-
tives whose attitude to himself and his
property in the recent past mas been
of unnatural character and unsatis-
factory to said grantor.'
The document then enumerates the
property of the maker, consisting of
various lands and mortgages and
notes, besides other personal property.
The value of the estate is not given,
but is credited with being equal 70
about 100000.
After providing for his own main
tenance and any whom he may see fit
to have in his household during his
life, and also for the maintenance OF
Lewis Keller and his wife during their
lifetime, the grantor shpulates that
at their death all the estate is to be
divided equally between their children,
John Lewis Keller and Elizabeth
Keane, wife of Joseph Keane, both OF
Tahitian Islands.
The paper is dated April Z, 1908.

local commercial wireless concern, is
about to install a long distance sys-
tenn.
The commercial company figures
without protecting guns, but the Navy
designed a protected station and after
the present Naval wireless was estab-
lished and it was found to be interfered
with by the mountains it was decided
not to make any further efforts to es-
tablish a satisfactory system until for
tifications should be complete and the
Naval base should be removed from
Honolulu to Pearl Harbor where it was
thought also to move the wireless.
Now that the Wireless Telegraph Co.
is putting in a long distance system it
is a question whether or not the gov
ernment will~also establish a system,
although the government will certainly
have system for it's own use either
arranging with the wireless company
for first privileges in time of necessity
or putting in its own system.
The Naval wireless is in a poor place,
not considering other defects, but it
was placed where it is to be under the
protection of guns although Kahuku
was thought to be the best place. Now
the Wireless Telegraph Company has
the site originally chosen by the Navy
at Kahuku, guns or no guns, and the
Navy will use it until it gets it's own
system if it is to have a new plant.

The secret of the .poorness of the
local naval wireless station is out.
Navy and Army ships have long COM
planned that the aerograph in the Navy
yard here could not connect on ether
grams on an average of more than fifty
miles northerly and two hundred miles
southerly, and that the reason therefor
is that the wireless station of the Navy
here is not properly located, being in a
position on this island where the
mountains interfere
But there was a reason for placing
the apparatus where it is and that rea-
son is that the Navy Department at
Washington determined that the Navy
wireless on Oahu should be where it
would be under the protection of guns.
1t was designed that the Naval wire
less here should be for use in case of
emergencies. In case foreigner should
cut the cable and all other commune
cation should be cut off, the station
here would be able to communicate
with ships of war at sea, and vice
versa
Fortifications have been long planned
for Honolulu and the present station,
when this harbor's fortifications are
complete, would be well protected.
The Navy's original plan for the To-
cation of station was to place it at
Kahuku, on that promontory, where
