DISCUSSING
STEAMER LINE
Huntington's Representative
Thinks One Would
Pay Soon.

'I have gone into the transportation
question of these islands with Mr.. j..
B. Castle and others here and am pre-
pared to lay a proposition before Mr..
Huntington on my return to the Coast
for the putting on of a line of steam
Redondo," said L. T. Garnsey. the
president of the Los Angeles and Re-
dondo railroad, yesterday. Mr.. Garn-
sey has just returned from Hawaii,
where he looked into the development
of the Big Island and is prepared to
prophesy big things to come to Ha-
waii. II do not suppose that any new
steamship line between here and the
Coast would be paying proposition
for the first six months or a year, but
after that there can be no question Of
it paying and being a paying and prof
liable concern from that time on. 1

Newport News, where most of the big

the Hawaiian Mahogany company.
"They have. an excellent prospect" he
says, land they have the goods on

FUM|GATE ALL PINES
BEFORE LEAVING HAWAII

The Hawaiian pineapple growers
have been granted their request re-
sarding the fumigation of their prod
uct before it leaves here. Yesterday
a message was received by the agents
of the Oceanic Steamship Co. stating
that pineapples from here would have
TO be fumigated before shipment to
San Francisco.
This is interpreted to mean that the
California State Board of Horticulture
has acceded to the request of the Ha-
waiian growers that they be ailo"ed
to fumigate the fruit here instead OF
in San Francisco and thus save
great deal of time and trouble. me
growers are anxious to ship cleah
fruit and as some of the pines are

PRINCE DAVID IS IN
4 SERIOUS CONDITION

The reports that are coming by cable
dition of Prince David are by no means
reassuring. Yesterday morning the
Princess Kawananakoa received a
message, which arrived before noon,
stating that the condition of the Prince
was worse and that he was very low.
Later in the day, about six O'Clock last
night, another message was received
stating that the condition of the patient
was unchanged. The Princess is pros
trated with grief and is receiving the
attentions of some of her closest friends
in her sorrow.
Last might Queen Liliuokalani stayed
with the Princess, having been with
her also on Sunday night, after the
first reports of the serious condition
of prince David was known. The Prin-
cess is ready to leave for the Coast
lust as soon as there is any assurance
that her presence there will be in time
or productive of any good.
Miss Sargent, who arrived on the
Alameda TO remain here for some time
a. the guest of the Princess, states
that the illness of Prince David has
lasted now for ten days, although II
was not regarded at first as anything
serious. When Miss Sargent left the
Coast the Prince was I'll, but he re-
rarded the sickness as a slight affair.

WORK BEGINS AT
ONCE ON PEARL
HARBOR STATION
Government Engineers Arrive---Not Settled
Whether Work Will Be Done by Govern

Pearl Harbor was the objective of
e. S. Civil Engineer c. B. Parks and
Assistant Engineer G. s. Burrell yes
terday as soon as they could get started
from the Siberia, on which they arrived
from the Coast in the morning. They
took the train from here and went over
the ground where they are to work, and
returned in the Navy launch late in the
afternoon.
In speaking of the work cut out to
be accomplished between now and the
coming of the fleet, with which are the
members of the Board which will
recommend what the style of work is
to be done in the Improvement of the
harbor and the establishment of the
naval station and dock and yards, Mr.
Parks was rather retieent. as he said

The matter of labor on the work is

will be done by the government or let

his wife. and so far as he has seen is
charmed with the place. He has had
considerable experience in the tropics,
having been for long time in Porto
Rico. Today he will busy himself
making arrangements for himself and
his party so as to get started immedi-
ateIy on the work which he has come so
far to do and which must be really
planned and ready for submission to
the Board by the middle of July. Pos

EPIDEMIC OF LEPROSY
GROWING IN PORTUGAL

Lisbon. Nov. 11.--Declaring Port
ugal is threatened with an actual
epidemic of leprosy. DR.. Zepherino
Falcao of the Lisbon health depart
ment has begun furious newspaper
campaign for government action to-
ward the stamping out of the disease.
He calls attention. in an article in
the "Seculo" to the fact that a trihe
more than 1900 leprosy cases are al
ready registered throughout the
country. This number. he adds. is a
long way-(100) short OF the truth.
He asserts, too, that the disease is
spreading rapidly, citing the daily
fresh registrations in support OF his
contention.
