NEW JOB FOR
DR.. SINCLAIR
Understudy and FactOtum for
the President of Board
of Health.

Perhaps the most important action
taken by the Board of Health at its
meeting yesterday afternoon was the
appointment of DR.. A. n. Sinclair as
Government Physician for Honolulu at
salary of 800 per month. DR.. Cofer
as President of the Board asked for the
appointment He said that DR.. Sin
clair was already the dispensary ply
sician at a salary of $50 a month, and
that he would like his services for
four or FIVE hours day more at an
additional salary of $50.
His services are wanted,'' said DIR.
Cofer, "not at any fixed hours of the
day, but whenever they are needed,
and as emergencies require. I want
him as sort of understudy for my
self, as factotum in cases of emerg-
ency, and as an assistant. For one
thing, / want his services now to COM
pile the laws relating to the Board of
Health, so that they can be studied
more readily and improvements and
amendments suggested. Then he will
be needed in studies of typhoid and
other things as they arise"
81 have thought myself - said DR..
Wayson, "that there was need of what
might ba termed a City Physician to
do many of the things that you suggest
and to look after the unattended sick,
of whom there are many, and to at
tend the sick at the Kapiolani Home,
and now that the boys from the Settle
ment are here, to attend them. But in
that case there should be definite
scope of duty and a salary sufficient
TO secure capable man. 1t seems to-
me that the appointment for the pur-
pose asked is delegation of the
Board s powers and duties to one whose
time it does not control. If an execu-
tive officer is needed, there is DIR.
Pratt, who is already the executive of
feer of the Board, and a capable man."
DIR. Cofer said that he did not see
that there would be any delegation of
the Board 8 power to DR.. Sinclair. He
would simply be an agent of the Board
to do its direction. But he thought
there was very great deal of work
which he could do, and the fact that
he was the boarding officer of the quar-
antine service during the busiest hours
of the day would add greatly to his
usefulness in many particulars.
The appointment of DR.. Sinclair was
authorized by the Board.

SIGNAL STIRRED THE
PEOPLE To ACTION

When the whistle blew for the trans
port last night five hundred people
called Central to know if it was the
Mariana and the five hundred dropped
back to their places at dinner disap-
pointed. The telephone girls know how
much the public wants to hear the great
violinist and they were almost ready
last night to break an established rule
by telling people the hour the doors
would open had the right steamer ar
rived. The announcement in the after
noon papers that the concert would
take place if the steamer was in the
harbor by nine o'clock was gracioUsly
accepted, but the captain failed to
make good. The same notification is
given this morning. If the Mariana is
in the harbor by nine o'clock tonight
the concert will be given in the even
ing. If she arrives during the day
ticket holders will secure information
by ringing up the Bergstrom Music
Co., or Wall, Nichols Co, Ltd.

MOTT T-SM|TH IS
STUDYING LAND
Spent Saturday in koolau
Looking Pineapple
Lands Over.

| Acting Governor Mott-Smith spent
Saturday and Sunday in Koolau ex-
aiming the government land over
there which it is proposed to open up
for settlement. He also examined a
piece of land which William Henry Of
fers to exchange. The Henry land he
says has a fine spring on it sufficient
to supply water for domestic purposes
for an adjoining piece of government
land proposed to be opened up.
The land of Halekou have to be
supplied with water by pumping and
before this can be undertaken the wa
ter rights of the rice lands below must
be considered and determined.
There are great many elements to
be considered in bringing about these
land settlements" said Mr. Mott
Smith. Conditions differ In different
places and a plan that would meet re-
quirements in one island or in one Sec
ton of one island may not meet those
of another. Our purpose is to secure
permanent settlers for these lands
men who will take them up, improve
and cultivate, and live on them. How
to accomplish this is what we are try
ing to study out.
There is the greatest difference of
opinion as to the size of the tracts into
which these lands ought to be divided.
Some say that twenty acres is
enough; that it is as much as a man
can cultivate well without hiring
large number of laborers. A number
of people are applying for twenty acre
tracts. Then there are others who say
that nothing less than forty acres will
do. AS a matter of fact pineapple
lands differ in quality just as sugar
lands do, and SO I suppose that a tract
that would be of suitable size in one
quality of land would not be big
enough in another
I'm my study of the subject SO far,
believe that conditional sale is the
best method under our law The con-
ditfons roughly are: Payments for the
land in twenty annual instalIments; no
title to be acquired in any event until
the end of ten years; very definite re-
quirements as to cultivation and i'm
provement each year, residence of
three years on the land. the three years
to be distributed during the ten years
in any way the purchaser wants, ex-
cept that no period less than a con-
tinuous period of residence for six
months at a time shall count: failure
to comply with the conditions of the
sale forfeits the land.
individuals differ as to whether they
can immediately go on the land or not.
Some can and some cannot But con-
ditions of cultivation and Improvement
can be made so as to be suitable for
all conditions
The matter is still being studied,
and discussions of the matter in the
newspapers will be of great service

FIGHT ON HIGH RATES,
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
 Waiting for Complaint.

Washington. August S.-Nothing fur- ther was heard by the interstate com merce commission in reference to the com troversy over freight rates in the sontb- eastern territory. Shippers in that sec- tion have been given ten days from Julv Sl in which to file a complaint against A proposed increase of rates, and it is ex- pected their complaint will be here in q few days
 As the matter now stands the railroads trayersing the southeastern territorv have been enjoined by Judge Speer of the Southern circuit of Georgia from an- plying their increased rates to Georgia hut the interstate commerce commission having refused to permit the railroa ds to postpone the application of the in creased rates to other states of the south eastern territory until the commission masses upon their reasonableness. the higher rates are being applied to Ala hama.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., August 3.-No incident worthy of note marked the day at Fairview today. Only few callers journeyed out in the sweltering heat, and these, for the most part, came merely to pay their respects. MT. Bryan thus was enabled to transact a good deal of business, he having been occupied practically the entire day with his secretary, MT Rose, answering let ters and outlining several speeches whif he will make within a month In VI of the Bonaparte opinion that national banks cannot comply with Oklahoma s state law with respect to the guaranty of deposits, a subject in which MT. Bryan is vitally interested 1t Is to be presumed that he will make 1t one of the leading issues of the campaign. Already he has decided to make it the feature of his To- peka speech, the latter part of this month
 MT. Bryan was not advised of the causes which yesterday prevented his unanimous election as a member of the Typographical union of Lincoln, along with Governor Sheldon, and he was dis inclined to discuss the matter beyond stating that only a short time ago large delegation of the central labor union, with which the Typographical union is allied, visited his home and pre- scented him with resolutions expressing

WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE
 DASHED TO DEATH IN AUTO

It failed to hold the automobile, which was rapidly gaining a dangerous head way down the hill, and Miss Mccormick hastily threw on the emergency brakes. They snapped almost instantly. Fearing that she could not guide the huge car Tn safety to the bottom of the grade, on account of the sharp turns in the road, the young woman endeavored to steer 1t against the high bank on the right, be- lieving that the friction on the wheels would bring it to stop. The front wheel, however struck large rock, swerved sharply to the left, and the next mo- ment the car plunged down the steep embankment, striking 35 feet below against a large tree. So terrific was the force with which the automobile struck the tree that the occupants were shot out of the car as from catapult. land ing on another road, 20 feet below.
 Mrs. Mccormick her daughter, Clara, and infant son of Mrs. O Brien struck on their heads and were instantly killed. Mrs. Ira OBrien and her 3-year-od son. Ira, died three hours later in the Red Cross hospital at San Mateo.

ANNEXATION OF CONGO.
America Is Guaranteed Full Trade Ad-
 vantages.

Brussels, August 3.--The second official volume containing the correspondence be- tween the United States, Great Britain and Belgium on the subject of the Congo Independent States, shows that the United States joined with Great Britain in asking Belgium to suppress forced labor, and to adopt measures for the ameloration of the natives.
 Belgium declared her willingness to submit to arbitration all disputes and questions arising from the creation of concessionary companies in the Congo, when unable to regulate them through the channels of diplomacy The conces- sionists, however, must closely respect the liberty of the Congo natives especially concerning their labor and their right to dispose of the product of their lands. The distribution of lands will be one of the first reform acts after the annexa- ton of the Congo to Belgium.
 The Belgium government assured the United States that all commercial ad- vantages granted to foreigners in the Congo would be extended to Americans.

The why's and wherefores of the coal miners strike in this district are so plain that The who runs may read At this hour there is no puzzle in the proposi- ton. Briefly stated It Is simply this. That the 1000 union miners who were in the mines at the beginning of this year, instigated and fortified by the United Mine Workers of America, are preventing some 2O,000 men who desire to work from doing so
 These waiting men are idle, and idle ness incurs viciousness and viciousness in- CUTS madness. and madness paralyzes business and promotes social disorder
 Not Surprising.
 While the situation is alarming, it ought not to be surprising in this district. If this writer believed for moment that all union miners were vicious and crim- inally inclined he would not hesitate to say so; but l do not so believe. 1 be- lieve that among the striking miners of this district today there are many good and worthy men; men of families and men who believe that unionism Is a pro- lection to their families; men who are seeking the best ends in manner which to them seems wise and correct. do not believe that these men counten- ance or encourage lawlessness. or that they know who the criminals in thelr ranks really are.
 But, 1t must be remembered that the state of Alabama, through It's peniten- tiary system, graduates from the coal mines every year large numbers of skilled mners-ex-convlcts, white and black, who though they may have paid the pen alty of their crimes, are still criminally intent. The stains the blot, the mark is still there always was and will ever re- main.
 Many of these may have been enrolled in the membership of the miners union. Arouse them by nfammatory presenta- ton of alleged wrongs; surcharge their minds with the idea that unionism Is be- ing opposed by the operators in order to hold them down and that they are en- titled to the mastership of other peo- ple's property; and then I say conditions here ought not to be surprising to men who measure well the why's and where fores of the proposition with which this district is confronted.
 The Remedy.
 The remedy then is plain. Rid the district of men who inflame this class Detect and punish the lawiess and you bring order out of confusion, and at once re-establish normal and peaceful condi- tions. It may be that the owners of the property cannot do this. It may be that the innocent. paralyzed business man can not; but the state of Alabama certainly can do so, If it will only apply a strong and vigorous arm.
 1 As an observer and impartial viewer of the situation, with the lights so clear ly before me, l cannot understand why the question is still daily propounded: "Who Is to blame?" It Is so very plain. How Long To Continue. Just how long this strike is to last how long the union miners will continue this war of attack simply for recogni- ton of the union-how long they can suc- ceed in disuading idle men from re-enter- ing the mines and resuming labor, I do not know, but I am persuaded that not until the entire property of the operators of this district shall have been swallowed

NEGROES KICK ON
 PARDON OF CADETS

Washington, August 3.-(Special.)-The negroes of Washington and elsewhere are reported to be much displeased over the action of President Roosevelt in ordering that the eight West Point cadets, recent ly dismissed from West Point for hazing' shall be permitted to re-enter the mill tary academy with such punishment as shall be fixed by the officers in command at that government institution of learn ing. They cannot help, 1t is said, but bring up the case of the negro soldiers who were dismissed with dishonor from the army by the President on account or the Brownsville shooting, and as the negro preachers and politicians nave steadily claimed, without having been proven guilty of the charges
 At least they have maintained and so did their champions in congress that only a small number of soldiers could possibly have been guilty, and yet the President, backed by Secretary Taft, they have insisted, made the innocent soldiers suffer for the crime committed by the guilty. They were kicked out or the army and have no redress; and now what makes the negroes hereabouts so mad is that eight young white cadets. backed by Secretary of War Wright, have, by direction of the President been restored to the rolls at the academy.
 The negroes are saying that the pun ishment to be meted out to the cadets will amount to nothing They will soon be in as good standing as ever and that just as soon as President Roosevelt was appealed to he wheeled around, although when the matter was first brought to his attention, he rushed into print with a statement to the effect that inasmuch as the young men had been found guilty Of hazing they would have to be dismissed. and that he would not interfere in their behalf.
