NEW HOSPITALS FOR THE
TREATMENT OF LEPROSY
Andrew d. White,
Cornell University,
Ithaca, N. Y.

Doing away with all the objection
able features, as far as possible, an
amendment to the present leprosy law
will probably be introduced at the
coming session of the Legislature by
Attorney General Hemenway. The law
will admit of no loose construction,
and will give the Territory supervision
over all suspects.
Under the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of the Territory, in the
case of Anamalia Maunakea, it is
doubtful if the authorities have the
right to hold any person suspected of
having the disease of leprosy. 1t has
been found that, under the law as it
stands, the question is all up to the
person under suspicion. If this person
wishes to make trouble, he may refuse
to choose a physician for examination.
The law now provides for one examin-
ing physician to be chosen by the
Board of Health, one by the patient,
and the third by the first two chosen.
AS in the case of Anamalia Mauna-
kea, in which the patient chose DR..
Atcherley as her physician, the two
first named may not agree on the third

MAYOR PUTS A
BOARD MOTION
(From Wednegdav Advertiser.l

(From Wednesday Advertiser.)
Less than half an hour sufficed to
transact all the business of the Board
of Supervisors last evening, the princi.
pal item being the third reading and
final passage of the supplementary ap-
preparation bill carrying an estimate
of $3.50 for six months to be divided
pro rata, monthly among various police
court Interpreters and a special officer
detailed from the police department to
the County Attorneys office.
This bill was moved to passage by
AHA and the motion was put by Mayor
Fern, the only nay recorded being that
of Mr.. Mcclellan. The action of the
Mayor in this instance was reversal
from his former attitude with reference
to bills of .supervisorial origin, and is
believed to be the basis of an oppor-
tunity to bring the deadlock on the
question of warrants between the Mayor
and board to a climax in the courts.
That is, if warrant is drawn under
this supplementary bill, this action may
be taken.
The only other business transacted
was the referring to special commit,
tee comprising Messrs. AHA, Logan
and Aylett of a communication from
r. X. Bonine, the moving picture ex,
pert, in which ne asked the board to
permit him to take a series of moving
| pictures of the Honolulu Fire Depart
menf Mr.. Bonine said the mattel
would be arranged so as not to inter
fere with the regular routine of tn,
department, and the pictures would b,
of value to the Territory, as promo
tion asset when exhibited on the main
land, particularly this summer at tn
Alaska-Yukon Exposition. The boar,
acquiesced in the request but the spe
cial committee will arrange for the dat
of the exhibition by the department.
J l. y. 5, Lyman Jr. requested the boar
to widen, in certain parts, the newl
, completed road in the Paumalu tract
this island, so that two vehicles coul
, pass. AT present the road is but twelv
: feet wide. The communication was II
ferred to the County Engineer. 1t wa
4 suggested that the road is yet Terr
torial road. not having been taken owe
' by the county, and the matter shoul
= be attended to, if at all, by the Terr
= tory.
e The board adjourned until Thursda
n at 1880 p. m.

jul CONTINUES TO
ABUSE THE PLANTERS

care there any more inhuman and
cold blooded than the Hawaiian plant
ers!" asks the Nippu Jiji, in its issue
yesterday, answering its own query in
its own particular way, continuing:
"We think not. We shall never find
more covetous people than they in the
whole world. The most pitiable people
are those who are employed by these
planters, who forget the kindpesses and
the help of others. The ones who most
deserve sympathy in this world are the
resident japanese laborers,"
The Jiji gives an alleged list of com
parison of the wage scales of the differ
ent nationalities represented among the
plantation laborers; dwells on the des-
| titution to be found in the japanese
| plantation camps, and handse out the
usual compliments to its contemporaries
of traitors, dogs and spies.
"Why do not the planters raise tho
wages?' it demands. "How can they
answer the charges against them of
avarice, inhumanity and cold-hearted-
uessa''
That the present anti,Japanese agita-
tion in California is part of a long
distance plot on the part of the planters
is grave assurance of the Jiji, who
refers to that part of the nefarious
conduct of the Hawaiian planters as,
threading down the treaty rights of the
japanese and treating us as they do
the Chinese" while President Roose-
welt, himself, comes in for the censure
of the japanese paper, his enforcement
of the restriction clause of the immi-
grafton law being styled 'an unlawful
mandate -
The Federal grand jury did not cali
any witnesses in the Japanese agitation
matter yesterday, but action on the part
of the jury is expected within a short
time.

man. Under the proposed amendment,
the Board of Health will probably be
given the right, in case of emergency,
TO choose the third physician.
1t is also proposed in the amendment
to provide for new hospitals for the
treatment of patients in this city be-
fore they are taken to Kalaupapa. 1t
is proposed to include an appropria-
ton of money for the construction and
maintenance of these hospitals, which
will be built along the most advanced
scientific lines.
At present, the rooms in use at the
Kalihi Receiving Station are not ade-
quate for the work which should be
done there. DR.. Brinckerhoff is con-
Quoting experiments at the station,
using part of the Federal appropri-
alton, which it was recently decided
could be used outside of Molokai. This
fund. however, can not be used in the

workroom is secured.
This is one of the important things
to which Governor Frear is giving his
attention. Attorney General Hemen.

amendment to remedy the leprosy law

AMENDED BILL
OF COMPLAIN
(From Thursdays Advertiser,

(From Thursdays Advertiser.)
An amended bill of complaint against
John w. Cathcart, Mary Cathcart, and
Percy NJ. Pond has been filed by H. G.
Middleditch, trustee in bankruptcy for
the Chas. F. Herrick Carriage Company,
Ltd. The name Edith Pond is sub.
stituted in the amended complaint for
that of Percy NJ. Pond, new develop
ments in the case having arisen show
ing that the alleged contract for the
house in College Hills was made by her.
Cathcart is again charged with having
brought about the contract between his
wife and Edith Pond for the purpose,
of defrauding his creditors out of money
due them. All the facts alleged in
the primary complaint are set forth,
as well as considerable additional in.
Cathcart paid $2055 on account in ac.
cordance with her contract with Mrs.
Pond, and that her equity is co-exten
sive with the payments so made by her
in the proportion which they bear to
the price named in the contract
Middleditch further alleges that Mrs.
Cathcart holds her equity in the con-
tract as trustee in invitem for the cred
itors of John w. Cathcart. This would
be, of course, the manner in which
Cathcart evaded the demands of his
creditors.
1t is asked, therefore, by the plain.
| tiff in the suit, that the defendants be
summoned to appear in court; that Mrs.
Cathcart be decreed to hold her equity
as trustee in invitem for Cathcart s
creditors, and that the premises named
in the suit be sold. Out of the money
thus realized. Middleditch agrees to
compensate Edith Pond for the sum still
due on the contract, and asks that the
remainder be devoted to paying other
creditors of Cathcart, named in the suit.
The amended bill of complaint will
come before Judge De Bolt for argu-
ment shortly.
Mrs. Duvauchelle Granted Divorce.
Mercedes Duvauchelle, wife of Eugene
Duvauchelle, the former police officer
who was tried and acquitted on charge
of accepting a bribe some time ago, was
granted divorce yesterday afternoon
on the grounds of support Frank
Thompson represented the libelant and
Glen X. Quinn presented the case for
the libelee. No alimony was asked.

DOCTORS MUST
MAKE REPORT

Unless the doctors of this Territory
report to the Board of Health each
ease of contagious disease found. dras
tic measures will be adopted by the
investigation by the Attorney Gener-
al's> Department it may be that the
grand jury will be asked to look into
the circumstances.
Secretary Charlock of the Board of
Health has learned almost beyond a
doubt tnaJ severai cases of contagious
diseases have been hidden by the ply.
sicians from the authorities of late,
and although the cases in themselves
are not serious or especially dangerous
to the community, the fact that they
were not reported to the health board
has caused more than the ordinary
amount of comment.
Information reached Mr.. Charlock
some time ago that several cases of
this particular disease were in exist.
ence, and he thought they would be
reported to the Board of Health by
the attending physicians. When sew.
eral days had elapsed without any no.
tiication, he looked into the situation
carefully, and reported what facts he
could find to the Attorney General IS
office.
The matter will be taken up by that
department, ms it is proposed to i'm.
press upon the members of the med.
ical fraternity the necessity of re.
porting all such cases. The books of
the Board. of Health, which are sup
posed to contain the record of all per.
sons dying in the Territory, are de.
ficient in this particular Registrar
Lawrence states that it is hard to keep
track of everything and everyone in
the outlying districts, but this will be
remedied as much as possible by the
action of the Attorney General.
"I will have recourse to the law, if
it is found necessary, in the enforce.
ment of the regulations for the health
conditions of the Islands," said At.
torney General Hemenway. "Every
ease of contagious disease is supposed
TO be reported to the Board of Health
Immediately upon it's discovery by a
physician, and if it is found that the
law providing for this is being disre.
garded, l will take measures to en-
force it. The present case will be in
vestigated thoroughly"

WHY THE PRICE OF
MEAT IS ADVANCED

The scarcity of cattle on the ranches
has forced the graziers to charge
higher price for them than has prevail
ed here at any time. On Hawaii it is
said that at least five thousand head
of cattle died as a result of the drought,
only two graziers having any consider
able number ON hand
Since Saturday the owners of the
ranches have been holding meetings on
the corners discussing the situation,
and they decided to make demand
on the dealers for a higher price. 1t
is said this demand has been acceded
to by the Metropolitan Meat Co., and
they have raised their prices accord
ingly, and began the importation of
beef from the mainland. The next two
steamers arriving will bring beef car.
casses from that market. The demand
| for beef has increased through the in
hux of thousand people who came
with the military and naval forces
There is possibility of the price going
still higher if the graZiers keep at it
OF the latter, those from Hawaii left
for their homes on the Mauna Kei

LEFT LIGHTED LAMP +;
BEDCLOTHES BURNED

Eddie Steamboat, Hawaiian, went
to sleep last night leaving a lighted
lantern standing close to his saw-dust
mattress on the floor. Shortly after one
clock this morning he awakened to
find his bedroom in the upper story of
the building belonging to the Dowsett
Estate corner King street and powsett
lane. all ablaze. An alarm was sent
in, and the fire engines called out, al
though the blaze had been cxtinguished
before they arrived. Eddie Steamboat
was at loss to determine just how the
fire originated, seemingly not connect
ing the light he left burning in the
room with the subsequent fire. Nc
damage was done, other than the hurn
'ua of q Chinese mosquito net and some
bedelothing.

TENEMENT HOUSE
CASE SUBMITTED
(From Wednesday IS Advertiser.)

(From Wednesday S Advertiser.)
The famous tenement house case, in
volving the validity of the ordinance
against the erection of tenements and
boarding houses within five hundred
feet of school building, was argued
and submitted in the Supreme Court
yesterday. The settlement of this
ease will tell whether or not the City
and County of Honolulu can prevent
the spread of japanese camps liz the
residence section of the city. The
ease was appealed from decision of
District Magistrate Andrade, who up
held the ordinance. Il. c. Peters rep
resented Muranaka, the defendant in
the case, while Deputy County Attor'
ney Milvcrton conducted the prosecu-
ton.
In the first place, Judge Andrade
overruled the demurrer filed by Peters
to the complaint, stating that he did
SO against his better judgment in order
that the Supreme Court would be given
an opportunity to render a decision in
| the test case. The question of wheth'
er or not the mere erection of the
building could constitute nuisance
was argued at length by both attor
neys, Peters holding that the decision
of the Supervisors in the case could
not be taken as final Peters alsC
made much of the fact that the pres
ent ordinance deals with the erection
of lodging house within five hundred
feet of a school, while nothing is sai'
as to the maintenance thereof.
He argued that the erection of tn
building could not be classed as
nuisance when the maintenance wa
not mentioned. On the whole, tn
arguments of the attorneys for bot
sides were practically the same a
, those advanced before Judge Andradt

Dear Mr.. Hunn: 1t has given me
great peasure to hear from you and to
know You have taken up work of such
promising sort in so interesting a
part of the world I have long wish
to visit Hawaii and were it not for
the many nights of railway travel in

is, though an excursion of that sort
is possible to me, it is hardly prob
able.

dear classmate Hiram Bingham and
am glad that you met him. He was a
roble character and nobly did he
carry out the plan of life which he
formed even in his boyhood. At Yale
he was greatly respected for his ear
nestness of purpose and his substan-
tial work as student 1 was drawn
to him especially by his skill in boat

have told you, to teach me to sail a
boat on New Haven harbor. But 1

While the t. X. K. s.. s. Chiyo Maru
was in port ON Saturday the local
United States inspectors of steam yes
sells inspected the steamer and gave her
an American certificate of examination.
The Chiyo is ON her maiden trip, and
Honolulu being her first American port
of call, the inspectors, by law, made
the official examination. This consist
ed of an examination of her boilers,
machinery, life-saving equipment, to
see whether everything was in con-
formity with the Japanese certificate
of inspection.
The local inspectors are now prepar-
