POPULATION STATISTICS
IN GOVERNORS REPORT

There is a big discrepancy between
the statistics of population of the Ter
ritory compiled by Secretary Mott
Smith for the Governor report and
those compiled by the Chamber of Com
merce, the totals differing by nearly
fifty thousand, with the Secretary on
the conservative end. The figures are:
Governor IS report, 100000; Chamber of
Commerce report, 21s,456. The Secre-
tary compiled his figures from other
official reports and is probably much
nearer correct than the Chamber, his
figures on the number of children in
the public schools, for instance, check
ing up with the compilation afterwards
made by the Superintendent of Public
Instruction within twenty-nine.
The Governors report gives the fol-
lowing figures of population by nation
alities: japanese, $4,000; Hawaiians,
$4,000; Chinese, $4,000; Koreans, 5000;
Portuguese, $4,000; Spaniards, 1000;
Porto Ricans, 1000, and Teutons lin
Guiding Americans, British, German and
all other whites exclusive of Port
uguese), 10000.
A noticeable thing concerning the
statistics in the report is the fairly
rapid increase during the past five
years in the number of part-Hawaiians
: in the Territory, compared with the
steady decrease in the number of pure
Hawaiians. During the first five years
of the past decade the number of part
Hawaiians decreased very rapidly, so
much so that the increase of the past
five years has only increased the total
number now in the Islands by 300. The
number of pure Hawaiians is now 2287
less than ten years ago.
The increase in the number of jap
anese in the Territory is, of course, the
striking point about the statistics. At
present, for every Hawaiian and part
Hawaiian there are two Japanese, for
eyery Chinaman there are four Japan
ese, for every Portuguese there are
three Japanese, for every Spaniard or
Porto Rican there are thirty-six Jap
anese, and for every white man, in
addition to the Portuguese, there are
six Japanese, while out of the total
population the Japanese come within
nine per cent. of half.

JUDGE. DOLE REQUIRES
BIG BAIL OF THE IsO|S

Isoi was shocked and every one else
in court was surprised when Judge
Dole announced that he would set the
bail of Isoi at $4,000 on the six in.
iictments returned against him, and
the bail of his wife, Chise, at $4,000.
The Federal grand jury made par
tial report yesterday to Judge Dole
returning twenty-five indictments. OF
these six were against Isoi and six
against his wife. The Others were a
miscellaneous assortment of minor
charges as compared with those against
Isoi.
1t turns out that Isoi's name ism y
Isoi after all, but Some Rikichi. @. f.
chillingworth appeared for Isoi and
his wife when they were arraigned, but
the cases went over until Monday fer

BOARD OF HEALTH
DOES MUCH WORK
(From Thursdays Advertiser.)

(From Thursdays Advertiser.)
The Board of Health held meeting
yesterday at which the tabulated bids
for materials and provisions for the In
sane Asylum and the Leper Settlement
were presented. These are for ma
terial and provisions to be supplied
from January l to June 30. In the
matter of bread and soap, preference
was given to home manufacture and
all other contracts are to be awarded
to the lowest bidder.
The correspondence between the pres
ident of the board and Superintendent
Babbitt was read regarding the agree
ment for the joint appointment Of a
superintendent of the Boys Home at
Kalihi and the teacher for the manual
training of the boys.
]. s. Silva has resigned as Board
of Health Inspector and the appoint
ment Of T. w. Carroll in his place was
confirmed.
An opinion was received from the
Acting Attorney General as to the en-
forcement of the old law prohibiting
the manufacture Of poi within certain
limits in the city. The law has been
forgotten by everybody for seventeen
years and has just been rediscovered.
1t affects the manufacturers of most
of the poi used in the city. The At
torney General figures out some doubt
as to whether the law in its present
shape can be enforced, then lets the
board out of the disagreeable task Of
enforcing it by telling them they don u
need to, that it is police and not q
sanitary regulation, and that it is uI
to the police force to enforce tiff il
wants to.
There was some correspondence
about the appointment of an assistant
fish inspector at Waiakea, Hilo, to be
paid by the concern carrying on the
fishmarket there. 1t was stated in the
correspondence that there had been two
market inspectors there until short
tlilie dSOt OuO VI INC oIhCA
But the market company had increas
ed the pay of the inspector ten dollar:
a month and given him all the fish
he wanted for his own use, and he had
thereupon fred his deputy.
1t is believed the matter can be
arranged and that an assistant fish in
spector will be appointed.
Final correspondence in the matter
of making use of part of the $4,000
Federal appropriation for leprosy in
4 vestigation at the Kalihi station was
& submitted. The board is to fit up one
4 of the old cottages at the station fol
the use of the Federal Investigators
and on their part they promise ga con
tinuous study of the cause, transmits
sion and treatment of leprosy upon the
earliest obtainable stages of the dis
ease will be therein conducted by mem
bers of the staff of the United States
Leprosy Investigation Station"

PROGRAM OF
PUBLIC WORKS READY
FOR THE LEGISLATURE

Pauoa springs by condemnation pro-
ceedings.
"There is one thing that the Legis-
lature must understand and be prepared
to deal WITH" said Mr.. Campbell yes
terday, in explanation OF his water
scheme, "and that is that crisis in
the water situation exists in Honolulu
and has to be faced and met What
affects prices in Honolulu affects the
whole Territory, and this question of
water for Honolulu need not be look
ed upon as purely local question at
all and something in which the other
islands have no interest beyond assist
ing in paying for, Here in Honolulu,
for instance, we are paying much high.
er insurance rates than is at all nee
essary and this is partly due to the
fact that we lack proper water SER
vice. Well drilled and effective as our
fire department may be, as matter of
fact we cannot get the water into town
to fight great fire if we have one be-
cause of the small water mains, while
in times like the present we haven It
| the water if we had the mains. The
other reason for our high insurance is
on account of the poor construction of
so many of our buildings.
"With the adoption of the system

vided for for many years to come,
!, while the increased revenues of the de-
partment through the adoption and the
increased efficiency of the service will
Justify the initial cost"
Regarding the proposed system for
! Hanalei, ON Kauai, Mr.. Campbell states
that there are enough consumers there
to pay good interest on the invest
ment. Another Kauai appropriation
| that will be strongly recommended will
| be the one for the extension of the
Waimea river breakwater beyond that
already planned and appropriated for.
"The amount appropriated will be used
and will ask for $4,000 more to com
plete that work as it should be COM
pleted," explained Mr.. Campbell.
/ For the Kappa system, water is to
be secured from the Akuliuli springs,
on government land, which give sure
supply of two million gallons day.
Harbor improvements.
"The demands being made now on
the Kahului and Hilo harbors demand
that some extensive work should be
done in both," explained Mr.. Camp
bell, "and the question of the harbor
lines at both places is now being TAX
en- up at Washington. With the in
creased demand that is certain to come,
now that bigger and bigger vessels are
making those places ports of call, must
come increased work. The same is the
case here in Honolulu. AS it is now
we have only one slip where the largest
vessels can dock, that is the Alakea
slip. will ask for an appropriation to

dition as it.

to the work on wharves and landings

The plans for the extension of the
Honolulu waterworks system and the
use altogether for domestic purposes of
artesian water are very complete.
Among the plans drawn are those for
the semi-circular reinforced concrete
reservoir for Kaimuki, the Punchbowl
reservoir, with planned capacity of
ten million gallons, the installation of
machinery to develop power and the
installation Of the pumps to be operat-
