The fact that Hawaii offers UNEQUAL

The work of the artists of a country

SUM To FIGHT
WHITE PLAGUE
$4,000 Is APPROPRIATED
Board of Health Takes Action to
Suppress tuberculosis in
Hawaii Mel.

Official recognition was yesterday
given by the board of health to the
need of strong measures being taken
in the handling of tuberculosis and
$4,000 has been taken out of the fund
formed for such purposes to wage a
fight against the great white plague.
This action was taken by President
Mott-Smith at yesterdays meeting of
the board, the matter first coming to
the board s attention through the read
ing of request from the Red Cross
Society, Department of Hawaii, asking
that delegate be appointed to attend
an antituberculosis conference called
by that body.
While appointing that delegate, Mott
Smith stated that it would be well for
the board to handle the matter on it's
own responsibility as far as possible
and the appropriation of the sum fol
lowed. D. Kalauokalani, Doctor Way
son and Fred c. Smith were appointed
committee to take charge of tuber-
culosis work coming within the board s
jurisdiction.
Some time ago the College Club, con-
sisting of local college women, raised
fund to be donated to the help of
victims of this most deadly of diseases.
1t was called the Doctor Day Memorial
Fund, in honor of the memory of the
man who has been most prominently
associated with that work here. Mrs.
Lucy j. Moses, who is here to handle
that fund, yesterday presented a re-
port on tuberculosis in Honolulu to the
board which was not read owing to the
press of business but placed on file
accessible to the members.
1t is probable the Doctor Day fund
and that just voted by the board will
be handled to a great extent together,
the College Club and the board acting
in harmony in suppressing and arrest
ing the disease
The meeting yesterday was the first
held since July, Mott-Smith, Kalauoka-
members present, Morgan and Hemen-
way being absent on the Coast.
Another action of the board was the
approval of the plans drawn by j. H..
Young for the mausoleum to be erected
at Moiliili.
The matter of the ffty-seven inmates
of the leper settlement at Kalaupapa
was considered, according to law their
release from the colony becoming legal
as soon as they are declared nonleprous
by agreement of doctors as provided by
statute. Of these ffty-seven who have
been declared nonleprous and who are
to be released, eleven petitioned to be
allowed to remain.
These petitions were gone over in de-
tail and three of them were refused.
Those refused were not kokuas at the
settlement nor had they any relatives
there to attend, and the board did not
consider it fair that they should remain
charges on the authorities unnecessar-
lily. Those permitted to remain do so
on condition that they pay for them
selves.

Sea Fowl With Wings Cut Off

Starvation.
ALBATROSS PLUCKED ALIVE
Captain Walker Tells of Bloody
Work of Japanese Skin
Hunters.

The Humane Society has taken up
the matter of the slaughter of the sea
fowl on the bird islets. to the west of
Hawaii, by Japanese skin hunters, and
has passed a resolution severely con-
<lemning the heartless practice and
recommending that the United States
government take immediate steps to
put an end to the bloody and illegal
bird murder A copy of this resolu-
ton has already been sent to the Sec
rotary of the treasury.
This resolution, in effect backing up
the stand taben by The Advertiser, will
undoubtedly have an effect.
But there is another phase of the
matter that has not yet been touched
upon This is the unspeakable cruelty
of the japanese practised upon the
helpless victims of their rapacity- Cap

Captain Walker makes surprising
statement one showing the extent of
the bird slaughter and explaining why
it is. He says, on authority, that the
value of the bird and animal products
taken to Japan last year by one COM
pany was Y2,750,000!
He writes:

PEARL HARbOR
NAVAL CENTER
FOR PACIFIC

WASHINGTON, November IL
President Taft s first work on his re-
turn from his tour abroad was to give
his attention to matters relating TO the
development of American interests in
the Pacific.
One of the vexed questions of the
administration and departments has
been the relative amount of work that
should be done in shaping the plans
for the Notifications of Hawaii and
the Philippines.
President Taft today gave his APP
prevail to the reco nmendation Of thu
joint army and navy board making
Pearl Harbor the great naval center
of America in the Pacific. Tempo
rary equipment only will be provided
for the Olongapo naval station in
Subig. Bay, and the Improvement of
Cavite and Manila harbor will be aban-
doned, the theory of the board being
that the Army will be relied upon to
protect the Philippines.
This decision is very important in
its bearings on the development of the
naval and military policies of the coun-
try in the Pacific. All the great work
for the Navy will &c on at Pearl
Harbor.
Approves of Meyers Plan.
President Taft has given his official
approval to the plans proposed by for
mer Secretary Of the Navy Meyer to
reorganize the management Of the
navy yards of the department. The
bureaus. under the new scheme will
be announced at an early day. This
is one of the first steps toward reor-
ganization and improvement of the eff
fciency Of the navy department, which
has been the subject Of sharp criticism
both from officers of the Navy and
members Of congress.
