F Rec HAWAII
FROM ALL
DISEASE
Mott-Smith, in Report
to Governor, Says 1t
Can Be Done.

To make Hawaii one of the healthiest
places in the world, clean and sanitary
and free from all contagious diseases
this is the goal toward which President
Mott-Smith is working and which he
feels confident of attaining. "It is, -
he says in his report to the Governor,
worth while to redouble individual
effort to accomplish that which is well
within the realm of possibility, to make
these islands one of the healthiest
places in the world Eminent medical
authority here have said that this can
be accomplished. =
Individual effort,o says President
Mott-Smith elsewhere in his report to
the Governor, sscleanliness and isola-
ton, should not only succeed in pre-
venting contamination from outside, but
in expeling all contagious disease from
Hawaii
Mr.. Mott-Smith also feels that the
treatment of the insane in Hawaii is
not all that it should be, and he ex-
presses the hope that in time changes
can be made so that not only those
who are dangerous to the community,
but also those who are merely harmless,
can be subjected to humane restraint,
care and treatment. 1T is to be hoped
that the time may come when the af-
fieted, including those not dangerous
to the community, may seek, or at least
become entitled to asylum. BY asylum
is meant not prison but refuge !"
The entire report of the President of
the Board of Health to the Governor is
very lengthy and viii make more than
$50 pages when printed. Most of it,
however, is taken up with statistical
tables, the reports of the various health
officers, and special paper on the
quarantine question, written by DR..
Hobby. Mr.. Mott-Smith s Introductory
report comprises only few typewrit-
ten pages, and is published herewith.
It was originally twenty-five pages
long, and has been boiled down to its
present compact form. The president
of the Board of Health has been work
ing hard on his report for several
weeks past, and he heaved a great sigh

MORT CAN NOT
GET BONDsMEN
Motion to Reduce Bail Was
Denied by Judge
De Bolt.

Mori, the Maui japanese who stabbed
Sheba, is still unable to get bonds and
from present appearances, will have 10
stay in Jail. Judge De Bolt yesterday
afternoon refused to grant the request
of Attorney Lightfoot that the amount
of bonds required be lowered. Bail was
fixed some time ago at $4,000, with the
provision that there must be at least
two sureties on the bond. The law re-
quires that each surety shall own prop
erty to the value of at least twice the
amount of the bond, which necessitates
Morris getting two bondsmen worth
$4,000 apiece. This he is apparently
unable to do.
Deputy County Attorney Fred Milver-
ton opposed the motion of Mr.. Light
foot for a reduction in the amount of
bail required, saying that he knew of
no mitigating circumstances in connec-
ton with the crime.
II do, flashed back Lightfoot. 81
don It mean,' he fastened to explain,
"that there is any justification of the
crime, if Mort committed it, but if he
did commit it, there may have been ex-
tenuating circumstances. IF / were not
absolutely sure that Mori would not run
away if released on bail, l would GER
tainly not ask for any reduction in
the amount required. y
II believe that the charge in the in
dictment fully warrants the bond as
fxed,' said Judge De Bolt. 81 be-
leve the Court would be warranted in
taking into consideration the facts of
the case as known to everybody-but
| am not doing that. A fraction of an
inch closer would have made it an of
Tense not bailab1e at all. I don t be-
lieve / would be justified in reducing
the bail below $5000.'
Previously two prospective bonds
men had been examined by the Court
but failed to qualify.

OFFICERS SEEK
PHONEY LIQUOR
Wine Stores Are Visited and
Samples Are Taken for
Analysis.

License Inspector Fennell is out aft
er the men who are selling adulterate.l
liquor whether provided with licenses
OF not. Yesterday afternoon Fenrell
made the rounds of the liquor houses,
in company with Food Commissioner
Duncan, and secured sixteen samples
of 'Dago Red These were sealed and
will be analysed by Duncan
For some time, Fennell has received
complaints of wine that seemed unduly
intoxicating. In many cases, it is
claimed, one or two glasses have put
man out entirely. Therefore the In
spector determined to look into the
matter. He secured the assistance of
the Food Commissioner and visited
four stores where EfDago Red - is
sold
Samples were drawn from the casks.
and bottles were also taken from the
shelves, and these, duly sealed, Fennell
delivered into the custody of Duncan,
All of the wine seized is of the variety
which sells at fifteen cents bottle or
sixty cents a gallon.
Under the law, selling adulterated
wine is a violation of license provi-
sions. Though he is not certain where
it is coming from, Fennell has pretty
strong proof that much adulterated
wine is being sold, and he is determin.
ed to break up the practice if possible.
Should any of the samples now in Dun
can 5 hands be found to be adulter-
ated, Fennell will at once prosecute
the proprietors ofsthe stores from which
they were taken.

DROWNED CHINESE IS
STILL UNIDENTIFIED

Unknown must be the legend over
the grave of the Chinese whose body
was found floating in the harbor yes
terday morning. Though Detective
Apana spent all day yesterday trying
TO. find some person who could. identify
the remains, his quest was unsuccessful.
Only two Chinese were willing to look
at the body. and both of them declared
that they had never seen the man in
life. The Coroner's jury last night
brought in a noncommittal verdict OF
death through drowning.
About three months ago the dead
Chinese was taken up for supposed in
sanity. He was examined and dis
charged No record of his name was
kept at the Police Station.

MERCHANTS WILL

HiIo Trouble Will Be Discussed
at Length by Members OF
Association.

Vice President Dillingham;, of the
Merchants Association, has called p
special meeting for tomorrow afternoon
to consider taking action in regard to
the trouble that has developed in Hilo
owing to the effort Of the county au-
thorities of the big island to collect
license fees from travelling statesmen
representing Honolulu houses
hung on and landed him niheb dsid
It was confidently expected that
wireless message would be received
from Hilo yesterday, giving some idea
as to the present status of the trouble
on the island of Hawaii. Secretary
Berndt, of the Merchants Association,
said last evening that no such message
had been received and that the ar
rival of mail advices will now be
awaited.
The merchants are much wrought mp
over the action of the Hawaii author
tiles, and are anxious to get together
and talk the matter over among them
selves. TheS have legal advice that
the authorities act is indefensible, as
far as the law is concerned and they
maintain stoutlv thai they do not pro-
pose to pay license fees in more than
one city. As their place OF business
is here. they insist that in Honolulu
the fees must he paid.
In the mea ntime. the merchants
would like to know whether or not
their drummers are at large In Hiio,
or are resting more OF less comfort

F|NANCIER'S ILLNESS
IS CAUSING WORRY

The condition of Charles NJ. Cooke
has again taken a turn for the worse.
monday the elderly fnancier, was so
much improved that his case began
to look hopeful. The convalescenee
was of short duration, and yesterday
Richard Cooke stated that his father s
condition was rather more, serious than
it had been. The warm spell of weather
has apparently had a beneficial effect
upon the sick man, but despite that
he seems unable to rid himself of the
effects of the second paralytic stroke.

STEPS FROM CAR
AND COMES To GRIEF

With blood streaming from her face,
a Japanese woman was picked up at
Alapai and Beretania streets at about
7:30 clock last night. The woman
had fallen from a trolley car, and at
first sight appeared to be seriously in
jured. At the Queen $ Hospital, where
she was taken for treatment, it was
found that she had sustained a cash on
the chin, but that otherwise her in
juries were slight. Her wound was
dressed and she was sent home It is
believed that she tried to alight while
the car was in motion.

a japanese called at several local hard

wicked weapon from the very fact that

Municipal Affairs
POLICE BOARD TAKES
up LIQUOR SUBJECT
TRANSFER OF PERMITS WILL
BE DISCUSSED
Opinion of City Attorney That Right
to Conduct Saloon in Certain
Place Reverts to
Police Board

The new police commission will hold
a special session at o'clock tonight tC
take up liquor transfers and other i'm
portant subjects. The city attorney
will give the board his written opinion
ON the subject of transfers, and there
is no doubt this opinion will be the
same as the one he has expressed YER
bally.
The city attorney has ruled the COM
mission has no right to transfer
LIQUOR permit from one person to an
other. but that if the permit is to be
given I'D it reverts to the police COM
mission and that commission has a
right to do what it chooses with this
permit, 1t can auction it off to the
highest bidder if it chooses, This has
been done twice in the past, and the
lowest price paid for the permit priv
.lege was $4,000. This can be made
source of revenue to the city.
The practice in the past has been for
a Iiuuor dealer to sell his business ana
then ask the police commission 10
transfer his license to the purchaser.
This has been the custom so long that
it was supposed to have the sanction OF
law, and some police commissioners
have even labored under the deluslon
that 1t was imperative for them to
transfer the permit at the suggestion OF
the holder. provided the one who was
to receive 1t was of a responsible CHAR
acter. In fact so strongly has this Gus
tom grated itself on the police de-
nartment that blanks are provided for
these transfers.

RAILROADS MUST FILE
RATES WITH COMMISSION
According to Terms of Wright Law
Tariffs Shall Be Listed with
State Board

The provisions of the new Wright
California railroads and other trans
portation carriers must file their tar
ifs, including freight and passenger,
with the state railroad commission. Of
fetal notice of this was received by
heads of traffic departments in Los
Angeles yesterday from w. D. Wagner,
secretary of the state commission.
The resolution of the commission as
adopted reads:
Resolved, That every transportation
company operating in this state shall,
prior to May 10, 1909, file with this
commission and print and keep open
to public inspection complete schedules
showing all of the rates, fares and
charges for transportation 1of freight
and passengers within this state be-
tween different points on its own route
and between points on the route of any
other transportation company when a
through or joint rate Is in force, and
complete schedules of all charges fol
services in connection with the re-
ceipt, delivery, transfer in transit. ven
tilation, refrigeration, icing, storing
and handling of property by such
transportation company"
Rules similar to those of the inter
state commerce commission have been
adopted. All tariffs must be in book
or pamphlet form, printed in type and
numbered consecutively.
AS interstate tariffs are already list
ed in this form, the only change OF
the new rule will be the numbering.

UNION MEN SAY SCALE
ON AOUEDUCT TOO LOW
Mayor Alexander Is Asked to Use
His Influence to Better
Conditions

W. A. Engle, president of the Union
Labor council, and c. N. Hughes of the
international Machinists union visited
Mayor Alexander yesterday and. COM
planned that the scale Of wages adopted
by the board of public works for ma
chinists on the aqueduct was not pc
ing followed They showed that the
scale for first class was $3.50 and from
that on down to SO day. Mr.. Hughes
declared he had personally visited the
aoueduct and had not found any ma
chinist receiving more than $3.50 day.
The same complaint was made to the
board of public works recently and was
referred to Gen. A. r. Chaffee, who is
in charge of the aqueduct department..
Gen. Chaffee reported that the scale
named by the union men had been
adopted, but that this was a maximum
scale and there was nothing in the reso-
luton to the effect that lower price
could not be paid If efficient men could
be secured to do the work.
Mayor Alexander told the union men
he would look into the subject.

Purchasers In cardena of Gardeners'
Product Ask Police to lnvesti-
gate Methods Used to
Treat Food

Residents of Gardena, number of
whom have become Ill after eating
strawberries purchased from Japanese
peddlers, have asked Chief Dishman to
make an investigation of the methods
used by this class of gardeners in treat
ing strawberries.
DR.. Taylor, one of the oomplainants,
stated to the chief that strawberry
plants in that district are attacked
by a worm or bug that destroys the
plant prior to the ripening of the berry.
The Japanese gardeners are said to use
a poison which destroys the pests with
out injuring the fruit. They are said
to be lax in their methods of washing
the berries after sprinkling the poison
and the customers are affected by the
drug. While none of the cases of poi
soning have resulted fatally, a number
of persons have been made violently ill.
Chief Dishman referred the matter
to the county horticultural commission
and in letter to that body asked that
some steps be made to remedy condi-
tions. While there are number of
Americans engaged In berry raising in
that district. no cases of poisoning have
been reported as a result of eating fruit
purchased from them.
1t is not known exactly the kind of
poison used by the Japanese garden
ers, and 1t is probable they will be or
dered by the horticultural commission
to use more care IN preparing their
fruit for market.

RATES TO ST. LOUIS AND
EAST TO BE INCREASED 81
Victory of Missouri Roads over Two.
Cent Fare Law viii Make
Change

The victory of the Missouri railroads
over the 2-cent fare law in that state
will cause an increase in railroad rates
from Los Angeles to st. Louis, or points
east of there, of 50 on all transconti-
mental lines.
The advance will not go into effect
Immediately, but will be announced as
soon as the rate sheets from Kansas
City are at hand and the rate regula-
tors have an opportunity of compiling
the specific rates and giving the neces-
sary legal notice to the interstate COM
merce commission.
The change will not be effective on
Missouri river rates. The st. Louis rate
sheet, which was received at the gen.
eral passenger department of the Santa
Fe coast lines yesterday, shows that
the old rate of $3.50 between Kansas
City and st. Louis will take effect May
10. Under the 2-cent fare law this rate
was $3.50.
AS the route through st. Louis is the
shortest route east, all transcontinental
rates are governed by the st. Louis
Kansas City schedule.
AS result, the through rate, second
class from Los Angeles to Kansas City
or any other Missouri river point being
$4O the local rate from Kansas City to
st. Louis, which will now be $3.50, is
added.
To this rate is added the local fare
from st. Louis to all points east. The
change will be applicable to all routes
