there is not a State in the Union in
which the press is not devoting some,
space to the subject of tuberculosis.
TUBERCULOSIS GOOD NEWS.
Not. only is the campaign being pro-
NOTED by the weekly and daily press.
but it has also been taken up BY the
various magazines, weekly story pa
pers, trade journals, religious papers
and others Of a similar nature. Even
the foreign papers are interested. A
bulletin sent out recently by the Ma
tional Association was printed in five
different languages. An instance Of
the readiness to cooperate in the
campaign against tuberculosis may be
noted in the experience Of one prOmi-
nent weekly journal which devotes it.
self entirely to philanthropic and
charitable subjects. Seven years ago.
when this paper started to publish
items on tuberculosis, a number of its
readers considered it extremely bad
policy, because of the apparent indif-
ference and repugnanee Of the sub
ject. To-day such articles are read
eagerly and thoroughly.
EDUCATION NEEDED.
The National Association declares
that consumption will never be wiped
out until the prevalent ignorance con
corning this disease is overcome. To
combat successfully this lack Of
knowledge, immense amounts Of liter
ature Of various sorts are being dis
tributed constantly. Within years
time thousands Of tons of leaflets, az
gregating over one hundred million
pages, are distributed by the various
organizations engaged in the these
individual agencies. the National As
ISOLATION believes that the press Is
the greatest means Of educating the
masses concerning this disease. II the
present rate Of interest on the part o.
the newspaper world continues Il IS
estimated that within a few years
every man. woman and child in the
United States will have learned tn
simple doctrines Of tuberculosis.

The municipal election held in this
city last Tuesday, caused many sur
prises to float to the surface.
At the beginning Of the contest for
the municipal ofhees, Il looked as
though Harry R. HiIldreth Jr., would
defeat Isaac n. Powell, for city trea-
surer in an easy walk, but the last
two weeks before the contest closed
the tide turned from Hildreth, to
Powell, this was largely due to the
fact, that Frank Lederer and Freder-
lex W. Block, poorly managed his
campaign; these two selfimportant
gentlemen, who have proven them
selves to be gTeen-horns in politics
were positive before the election that
they carried ali the voterN in this
city in their hip pockets, and that
Harry Hildreth was dead sure Of be
ing elected, but the returns told
a different tale, for Isaac N.
Powell, snatched the prize from him

Consumption is receiving nearly
one-half mile of publicity a week. is
the unique statement which the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis issues to-
day. According to some recent Stats
tics compiled by that body. the vari-
Gus newspapers Of the United States
printed articles concerning tuber-
culosis. which, when measured,
amounted to over $4,000 column
inches Of space in two weeks.
The. investigation which the Ma
tional Association conducted included
all of the daily and weekly newspa-
pers throughout the United States as
well as some Of the larger journals
and magazines. In the two weeks
which were taken as a standard, it
was found that 81, 557 column inches
Of space was devoted to the subject
Of tuberculosis. II all Of this matter
were gathered together at one time.
II would make a newspaper the Or
binary size Of 36s pages printed solid,
without any advertisement. all on the
subject OF tuberculosis. II It were
arranged in one long chain, it would
make a single column Of matter four
fifths Of a mile long and two and one
quarter inches wide.
PRESS LEADS FIGHT.
Among the numerous agencies
which are to-day joining in the fight
against tuberculosis, such as the
school. church and labor unions, the
press is in the foremost rank. Never
before in the history OF American
Journalism has the press taken such a
lively and continued interest in a sub
ject pertaining to human health.
When it is considered that tubercu.
losis alone kills nearly 100000 people
in the United States every year, and
that there are at the present time al
least 100000 cases Of this disease in
the various parts Of the United States
sufficient warrant for the activity OF
the press is given.

CAPTAIN MILLER
INCREASES FLEET
Deal Whereby the Alden Besse
Goes to Local Man Is
Completed.

Just to put an end to all the SQUAD
Bile that has been going on between
master and men, Captain Miller, the
local ship-owner, yesterday purchased
the Los Angeles craft Alden Besse. The
selling part of, the deal was made by
J. II. Waddingham, who came down
here on the bark as the representative
of the owners. The price for which
the somewhat Anticipated craft-she is
thirty eight years old-was purchased
was not made public yesterday, nor
would Captain Miller disclose what
plans or arrangements he has made for
her future use.
1t is pretty certain fact, however,
that the boat will be kept on the Island
run. 1t was rumored yesterday that
she would be sent to Grays Harbor to
fetch back cargo of lumber, but the
boat is not built for this kind of carry
ing. Captain Miller will, it is known,
keep the old boat working all the time,
and it is family whispered that he has
been on the lookout for this sort of
craft for considerable time past to work
out his South Sea trading scheme. That
any such plan was ON foot was strenu
ously denied by Eben P. Low the other
day, but the indication that the Alden
Besse was bought for this purpose are
strong.
Nothing but hard luck attended the
experimental trip of the Alden Besse
to the Islands up until the time the
transfer in owners was made yester-
day. All plans had been made, ac-
cording to information given out on
ba ppoT~in,1s 70 bo,
over to Hilo and pick up a load of
Oha ties. At the outset, this was
tumbled when the sailors raised such
a kick against the vessel that they
were allowed to be paid off here, al
though they had signed on for the re-
turn voyage. The men received their
money yesterday morning, and it was
not long before they were in a hi!ari-
Gus state of joy supreme, caused by
over-indulgence in ''dago red
When the sailors made their first
complaint against the Alden Besse,
a Shipping Commissioner Amy caused an
investigation of the charges to be had,
and proved them to be mostly without
foundation. On the following day,
however. the sailors came back to the
Shipping Commissioner S office. stating
that they had been refused anything
to eat on the previous night and that
morning. As this action on the part
of the authorities on the ship was in
direct violation of the contract, Amy
decided that their desire to leave the
ship should be granted, and he accord
ingly ordered that they be paid off.
The Alden Besse is not in the best
of condition by any means, if the
stories of the sailors who came down
in her from San Diego are to be be-
lieved at all. 1t will probably cost
Captain Miller tidy sum to fit her
up similar to the way he has the rest
of his fleet One of the rumors along
the waterfront yesterday was to the
effect that Captain Miller intended to
wholly renovate the Alden Besse, put
ting in new rigging and running gear.
Her hull is in pretty fair condition
just now, as she was taken off the
marine railway only the other day.
Otherwise she can stand considerable
renovating.

TANSAN PLAY
NEXT SUNDAY

The next Tansau tournament will be
played at Haleiwa on Sunday, March Z,
instead of March IA as previously ar
ranged, This change was made at the
earnest request of ST. Clair Bidgood, of
the Haleiwa Hotel, who states that he
viii have his hands full with the Mara
thon runners on the fourteenth and
could not possibly do justice to the
golfers as well.
The Tansan tournament is proving a
wonderfully interesting and successful
event Both Austin White and VIM.
Simpson have already won on these
links and so will only take second
place should either of them win and
get that case of Tansan. In such case
the second man takes first place and
this counts for one win on those links
The Haleiwa trip is a very popular one
and a large tournout is expected.
