HEALTH BOARD
COMMITTEES
Dr.. Baldwin Resigns With Re-
gret---The Mosquito
Campaign.

DR.. W. D. Baldwin S resignation as
dispensary physician to the Board Of
Health was presented to the board at
its meeting yesterday afternoon, and
was accepted. Accompanying his res,
ignation was letter in reply to one
from the president of the board, in
which he said that when he went away
he had simply followed out an old Gus
tom by which the two dispensary ply
sicians had relieved each other as
convenience and the work required, and
that the custom had been extended to
vacations. Continuing, he said:
81 will not be in Honolulu before
November l of this year to practise,
and as the matter is causing adverse
criticism, as you state, I herewith en-
close my resignation to the board. I
do this with great regret, as the dis
pensary practise is line of work that
l especially enjoy, as is evidenced BY
the fact that 1, at first, gave several
months service at the dispensary
without compensation. -
The report of the committee on ty-
phoid fever at Kahuku was received
and adopted, and the Kahuku pIanta-
tion will be asked to make the int
provements recommended.
President Robinson brought up the
matter of the examination and vacci-
nation of school children in the public
schools of Honolulu. The regulations
of the board provide that this work
shall be done by the government ply
sician in the district where the schools
are There has been no government
physician in Honolulu for several
years and the work has been done by
DR.. Pratt in addition to his other
duties. But during DR.. Cofer's presi-
dency, DR.. Sinclair was appointed gov
ernment physician for Honolulu, and
the question now is whether he shall
do the examination and vaccination or
whether DR.. Pratt shall do it. The
matter was referred to the committee
on government physicians.

Richards in regard to the matter OF

FOREIGN MONEY AND
STREET CAR FARES

IF the request of the members of the
Promotion Committee, to be made to
the management of the Rapid Transit
Company, is complied with, that their
conductors be requested to accept Eng
lish and Canadian silver rendered as
fares on the cars on those days when
Canadian steamers are in port, one of
the little things that affront occasional
tourists viii be done away with. The
request will be made by the Promotion
Committee on account Of an incident
brought TO their attention recently,
when Rapid Transit conductor re-
fused to accept Canadian dimes for
ear fare and the visitors rendering
them were only saved from having to
leave the car through the payment OF
their fares by a resident. In view of
the fact that Canadians are accustomed
to accept American silver as freely as
Canadian in their homes, and that the
committee is making a special effort
to induce tourist travel this way from
the Canadian Northwest, it is thought
that the Rapid Transit Company could
afford to accept few dollars a month
that might come in Canadian silver
rather than to have possible tourists
meet with a rebuff just as soon as they
land here.
The principal work done at the Pro
motion Committee meeting Yesterday
was the accepting. subject to some sug-
gested changes, of a design submitted
for a Floral Parade poster The ae-
cepted design is one of two submitted,
being that of a lei-c0vered automobile,

Martha Washington and Kamehameha

for color effects for the poster viii be

and elections. by vote Of 80 to %. Sen
ators Depew Of New York and Penrose
OF Pennsylvania furnished more oppor-
tunities for laughter and delay
Mr.. Depew wanted to amend the reso-
luton by making the qualifications OF
voters in all states the same This was
aimed at the Acknowledgement of the col
ored voters of the south. and would. Of
course defeat the measure. Mr.. Penrcse
solemnly proposed an amendment to base
the number of senator's on the population
of the states. 1t contained the Droviso
that no state should have more than ff
teen senators.
When a recess was taken shortly after
: o'clock until o'clock the Senate had
devoted not more than half an hour to
real business.
At the Night Session.
The night session. the first held by the
Senate since Congress convened last
December, was devoted chiefly to the
fathered by Mr.. Beverage. This contains
a number of bills relating to Alaska.
Hawaii New Mexico and Arizona some
of which have already passed the Senate
and some of which have not. The pur-
pose of Mr.. Beveridge is to get them be-
fore the House as one proposition and
thus possibly secure their passage on one
vote.
1t was only after much speechmaking
and wrangling that he succeeded in get
ting the bill before the Senate last night
No sooner had he done so and concluded
some remarks that he had to make on 1t
than various republican senator's began
offering amendments. which made 1t ap-
pear at once that It could not be passed.
Finally when Senator Long OF Kansas in
behalf Of his colleague from the same
state. Mr.. Curtis. who is part Indian,
moved an amendment striking out the
word white" in a provision requiring
the signatures of residents within a GER
tain distance of saloons in Alaska before
liquor license is issued to the saloon
keepers. with the exception OF the sigma
lures Of Indians. there was a roll call on
its adoption and the vote stood to 16
against 1t.
The sum Of 9 and 16. however. was very
evidently only %. and this was far from
quorum OF the Senate. and there was
nothing left to do but adjourn. The time
for reconvening was set for II o'clock
tomorrow morning.
The Senate from o'clock until 1920
o'clock last night had transacted no
serious business except the adoption of
the conference reports on the Military
Academy and pension appropriation bills.
which consumed less than twenty minutes
together.

hesitate to convey to you the gratitude of
the whole Japanese nation. No wild ru-

cordial as it has been In the past
Baron Sakatani denied the report pub

that the financial position of his country
lis SO stable and sound that it admits OF

No Ground for Conflict.

acting in Manchuria somewhat prejudicial

ing in a private ambulance. First aid
had been rendered before the patient was
removed to the hospital. 1t was stated
that HERR had attempted to take his
life. Notwithstanding the wounds the
surgeons say they think the patient has
a chance for recovery.
III health was stated by friends Of HERR
as the reason for the deed. Minister
Vogel had been away from the house only
a few minutes when the reports of three
pistol shots attracted the attention OF per-
sons in the neighborhood. but the police
were not advised of the AFFAIR until last
night.
HERR, who is a German, thirty-two
years Of age. had been in the employ OF
Minister Vogel several years The latter
was shocked when he returned to his resi-
dence, 2O13 Hillyer place. from his morn

It appears that a maid in the house was
attracted to the second floor by hearing
the report of a pistol shot. She found
HERR on the floor with the smoking re-
volver in his hand. Before she could
reach him, however. he raised the weapon
to his temple and fired third shot. Then
he fell back unconscious. although only
a scalp wound was inflicted. The maid
screamed for help. Assistance reached
her without delay. Henri Martin. secre-

When the police learned of the affair
last night Inspector Boardman sent De-
tective Warren and an officer OF the third
precinct to make an investigation. Detec-
tive Warren visited the hospital and was
informed that the wounded man was a
private patient and could not be seen
He was also told that DR.. George Barrie
has charge of the case. 1t was stated that
an operation had not been performed.
Detective Warren returned to police
headquarters about midnight. after hav-
ing made futile attempts to see Minister
Vogel. DR.. Barrie and the wounded man.
The information he received was that
only two shots had been fired and that
neither wound was serious.
Because OF the fact that the shooting
occurred in the house Of a representative
of a foreign government the police were
not certain just what rights they had in
the matter Of making full investigation.
