ARMY AUTOS

\
Machines Used for Official Bust
ness Are Exempt From
License Fee.

Army officers using automobiles in
Oahu county or any other county of
the Territory may hereafter be exempt
from taking out license to operate on
any street or road in the Territory.
There are a number of autos in use by
army and navy officers in the Territory
and most of them are employed large
ly on official business. Take, for in
stance, the machine operated by and
on behalf of Major Winslow of the
Engineer Corps. That machine has
played an important part in the
progress of the military works of Fort
Ruger, Fort De Russy and the battery
at Pearl Harpo.. 1t is used almost
exclusively for official business and has
the government to chip in and buy him
a more modern machine.
The government in arriving at the
decision that army autos are exempt
from taxes, says they must not be
driven in excess of any speed reguia
ton. Major Winslow's old machine
can never be accused of "burning uI
the road - At Fort Ruger there are
at least two autos, and as the post il
so far away from town, it is necessary
that they be used in considerable of
fetal business and they may therefore
be exempt. There are several autos al
Schofeld Barracks, two at the naval
station and at least one assigned tC

WELAN| DIES
At HOSPITAL
PIucky Hawaiian Who Amputated
Own Shattered Hand Sue
cumbS to Wounds.

Welani, the aged Hawaiian who had
the misfortune to have his right hand
blown off, his left hand shattered and
his face badly torn by the explosion of
a stick of giant powder at Brown S
Landing, near Eva, a week ago, died
last Thursday night at the Queen S
Hospital, death being due directly to
heart failure, but primarily caused by
his terrible wounds. A coroner's jury
sat on the case yesterday and returned
verdict of death by accident.
From the testimony given, it was
shown that Welani, with three Japa-
nese from Eva. had been out fishing.
With one charge of powder they had
killed nine fish. A little later Welani
lighted the fuse to a second stick, Just
as an argument came up about using
a charge at the location they happen
ed to be in. Welani started to argue
with the japanese, all the while hold
ing the stick with its lighted fuse.
Just as he determined to throw it, the
stick went off and blew his right hand
to tatters. He had forgotten that the
fuse was lighted, and, according to the
testimony of Witnesses was surprised
when he turned to look at the stick
in his hand to find the fuse burning.
At that instant the powder exploded.
The japanese Immediately became
scared of the consequences and fed,
leaving Welani to look after himself.

cloth. For nearly whole Jay he re-
maired in his little house near the
beach. until friends came. and they i'm
mediately started him to the railroad
station and placed him aboard a train
for town. He arrived here late in the
day and was taken to the hospital. The
old man displayed a wonderful lot of
courage.

J. T. Strauss of Fort Shafter was ar

KING LEOPOLD
IS NEAR To
DEATH
Aged Ruler of Belgium Has Had
a Relapse and Recovery
Is Doubtful.
MONARCH is "a YEARS OLD
Sacraments for the Dying Win

Tomorrow.
MONARCH is "a YEARS OLD
(By Associated Press.)

BRUSSELS, December liking
Leopold, who has been sick but who
was thought to be improving, has had
serious relapse and grave fears are
entertained that he will not be able
to recover. His condition is regarded
as so HOPELESS that the sacraments for
the dying will be administered tomor-
row.
King Leopold is about seventy four
years old and has been ruling Belgium
for forty-four years. He assembled the
throne about the time of the close of
our Civil War, and has held his own
through all the changes in the govern
ments of other countries of Europe.
Leopold II. is the second king that
Belgium ever had, succeeding his
father, Leopold l., who reigned from
1881 to 1865.
Leopold H., aside from his income
of 100000 year allowed by the Bel
GUM government, is one of the richest
monarchs in Europe. Though he lives
simply, it is said that he has squander-
ed immense amounts in speculation, and
has also made large amounts. His cor
nection with the Congo outrages, for
which the responsibility has been laid
ON his shoulders as the actual head
of the Belgian Congo, has placed him
of late years in a very poor light in
the eyes of the world.
Leopold has no son to succeed him,
his three children all being daughters.
Under the constitution the succession
can only go in the male line, and should
the king die, the crown would have to
go TO another branch of the family.

NJ DUFFIE TAKES
CHARGE TODAY
New Head of Detective Bureau
Has Been FamiIiarizing Him
self With Situation.

Chief of Detectives Arthur McDufie
assumes charge of the detective bureau
of the police department today. Since
his acceptance of the position offered
by Sheriff Jarrett, the new chief has
taken a look around town and sized up
the situation. On taking charge today
good knowledge of certain matters
which naturally come under his super
vision. Having been member of the
detective bureau before, his experience
will be of value to him again. Chief
McDuffie goes into Office with the hope
that his administration of the affairs
of the detective bureau will have only
the very best results and be a credit
to himself and his superiors
Chief McDuffie is big man physi-
cally, the biggest man who has ever
had charge of the office, save Kalaki-
ella, but he combines big and heavy
frame with active muscles. Since leav-
ing the department a few years ago,
Chief McDufie achieved considerable
prominence during the recent strike of
japanese laborers, when he was employ
ed by the planters association to take
charge of the strikebreakers. His work
in this direction was altogether salts
factory to the association and to the
strikebreakers, also, and when he re-
tired to become a dredger engineer at
Pearl Harbor, he left with the re-
grets of all his associates.
While there may be some changes in
the detective bureau, it is understood
they will be few in number.

good ability; and specially case
Of laryngial diphtheria. He ac-
knowledged that some advise a
larger and others a smaller amount
of anti toxin to be administered and
that this question is one to decided
by the attending physician, and
stated that an attending physician
is much more capable of deciding
the amount than another doctor, in
answer to hypothetical question.
{ DR.. Osborn also said that you
cannot always judge by the smear
whether the patient has diphtheria;
sometimes you can, sometimes you
can't. There are also pseudo-diph-
theric baccilli and mistakes occur
even when the best appliances in
medical science are used in direct
examination. He admitted that
there are some symptoms of tonsi-
litis in laryngial diphtheria.
The doctor followed with a
scientific explanation of the con-
tents of the membrane found in
diphtheric cases and said that some
times people die after being appar-
emily completely recovered from
diphtherta. He was shown articles
in the journal of the American Medi-
cal association in relation to
sudden death of patients apparently
recovered from diphtheria, and con-
siderable discussion was INDUCED in
along this line.
DIR. Osborn told of the effects of
administering anti toxin on different
patients. He stated that on an
average there are 81 per cent deaths
in cases of laryngial diphtheria
where anti toxin has been given.
On redirect examination by
Senator Peterson, counsel for the
plaintiff, DR.. Osborn stated that be-
fore the use of anti-toxin had been
adopted there were all but 81 cases

diphtheria cases were fatal. He
also gave the reasons why laryngial
diphtheria is more fatal than the
diphtheria found in the pharynx or
nasal organs.
DR.. Osborn admitted that sufoca-
ton and q swelling of the ,larnyx
are indications of laryngial diph-
liberia. The sputum sometimes con-
tains diphtheric baccilli and some
times not. The doctor also gave an
explanation of the difference between

ence is to place the smear in an
