PLANT ENEMY

importation Planned as Soon

Discovered,

Inc mosquito pest, which has again
become problem to be considered bv
the Board of Health, may be solved
ny the importation of plant that is
sald to possess the rather extraordinary
power of killing off mosquitoes in some.
what summary fashion, particularly
when it is planted in swamps and other
places where the mosquito is given
TO breeding.
President Mott-Smith of the Board
or Health has sent letter on the sub
9eet TO the Board of Agriculture and
Forestry, and that body has turned the
communication over to Superintendent
dosmer for research and investigation
with view of importing the plant for
use IN the Territory of Hawaii.
Doubt About Name.
The name of the plant is .arzoIIaa. ,,
according to the President of the Board
OF Health, but Superintendent Hosmer
states that he is inclined 10 believe
that arzollaa" is simply an alias, and
the work OF investigation has been com
plieated by inability, up to the present
time, OF securing the true scientific
designation of the enemy of the mos.
quito family.
The discovery of the efficacy of the
plant in connection with eliminating
the mosquito pest is attributed TO the
research work of a German scientist,
and It is considered probable that if
the virtues of the plant are as numer-
GUS as declared, its cultivation in the
swamps on the island Of Oahu will go
long way toward eliminating the mos.
quito.
Superintendent Hosmer expects to re-
port on the plant and it's possibilities
in the near future.

HOLDS SHER|FF'S
DUTIES PLAIN
Judge. Whitney Rules Against
Novel Contention in
a Case.

Circuit Judge Whitney decided yes
terday that there was no merit in the
motions TO quash the service of sum-
mons in the ease of Frank Archer
against 8. Naka, on the ground that a
process addressed to the Sheriff of the
city and county or his deputy cannot
be served by the deputy sheriff of Eva
as the latter officer is not a. deputy of
the city and county under Act rs,
the municipal act passed by the Legs.
lature of 1907.
Judge Whitney in his decision states
that there might be some possibility OF
confusion as the law originally stood.
but he found that the amendments
passed by the Legislature of 1909 were
sufficient to olbliterate any possible mis-
construction. He says that ''no clearer
language could be used to show that
the various deputy sheriffs are elected
to act for the Sheriff of the city and
county and are therefore his deputies.
Postpone Sega Case.
By the consent of the attorneys for
the prosecution and defense, the trial
of Y. Sega, editor of the Nippu Jiji
who is charged with publishing libelous
articles about Editor Sheba of the
Shinpo, has been continued by Judge
De Bolt until the first judicial day or
the September term of the court.
Attorney Lightfoot, representing
Sega, has asked for a continuance for
his client on the ground that he could
not hope to secure a fair trial with
existing public sentiment in connection
with the prevailing conditions of labor
unrest on the plantations. No objec-
ton was raised to the continuance and
as a consequence Sega will not have
to account for his statements until Sep
TENDER.
Thirty days have been allowed the

Rock Island will no longer submit
trust This was settled by the board
of supervisors this morning and as
Il result of the discussion that took
place, it is more than likely that in
the future there will be no more iron
bridges constructed in the county un-
less by the township governments
The subject came up in connec-
tion with the petition of Buffalo
Prairie township for aid in the con-
struction of three bridges at an es-
timated cost of $3.50. The county
was asked to bear half of the cost.
The petition was presented at the
April meeting and Supervisor Schnier
requested that it be acted upon to-
day. lie roads and bridges COM
mittcc. through Supervisor Weckel,
the chairman of the committee, eX-
pressed approval of the request.
Supervisor Weckel was asked if the
Missouri Bridge & Iron company had
ben securing the majority of the
bridge work in the county in recent
the company has been securing the
work. and that there is strong COM
bination among the bridge builders
which prevents competition. Mr..
Weckel stated that in his experience

He said that Rock Island county is
the Missouri company's territory. and
that Clinton county is the territor,
of the Clinton Bridge & Iron com

Supervisor Weckel told of the COM

petition and of the methods of the
companies to maintain the system.
He said that the agents are largely
responsible, but he said that when
the Clinton company was approach
ed directly, a bid that did not con

Supervisor Gould proposed that as
means of combating the bridge
combination the townships and the
roads and bridges committee get to-
gether, and formulate a plan where
by the needed machinery may be ac-
quired for the construction of CON
crete bridges. Supervisor Gould de-
clared that by this method not less

cry can be quickly paid for out of The

requested that all action on the Buf.

Concrete In Future
Mr.. Matthews this afternoon pre-
scented a resolution 10 the effect thai
it is the sense of the board that Rock
Island county has been held up for
years by the bridge trust by The elm
nation of competition, and that since
concrete bridges are cheaper, "and
