IL was rumored that an army

tion for the execution of the two
Americans, would pass through
Grand Junction this morning
and as IA result u great deal OF
excitement was caused. About

ing, patriotic cavalcade, one that

belief
1t developed that there were two
armies along, although each was fly

ON SECRET
BUSINESS
KNOCKED DOWN BY
MYSTERIOUS BUGGY WITHOUT
LIGHTS SUNDAY NIGHT.

A, Portuguese man is telling queer
story about being knocked down Sunday
night on the Waikiki road by buggy
which was going along without a light.
He failed to hear the rig, and the
vehicle carried no light to warn him
of it's epprOach. He was hit from be-
hind by the shaft and knocked down.
Not injured to any extent, he arose
quickly and caught up with the bug
gy, calling out and demanding to know
who it might be who had driven over
him.
WhereupOn the occupant of the bug
gy flashed the badge of police officer
and declared that he had right to &c
without a light, being on secret duty
If the man who flashed the badge
was really a police officer he was run
ming a severe risk without light, be-
ing in danger of being run into by an
auto, not to mention the danger tC
pedestrians which he created.
The police are investigating to as
certain who it was sporting a police
badge and a lady in a buggy without
light late at night.

How many people who have read, in
the past few days, of the success of
DR.. A. F. Cook, the American explorer,
in reaching the North Pole, remember
anything of the man or his venture?
The Technical World of March, 1908,
contains the following concerning the
Cook explorations:
In arctic exploration circles quite a
futter of interest was caused recently
by the news that DR.. II. A. Cook had
established base of supplies at Etah,
on the west coast of Greenland, for it
was generally supposed that his inten-
ton had been to go in search of the
South Pole. He has, therefore, stolen
march on Peary. Part of DR.. Cooks
equipment is his ice automobile. EX-
actly what the particular device is
Dr. Cook declined to state, but de-
clared that he had the solution of an
ice travelling motor car. Gasoline be-
ing enforceable, he believes it possible
to penetrate the ice-bound polar re-
gions with his portable houses car
rying his own commissary and equip
ment and traversing the glaciers at
much higher speed than is possible
with dogs and sledges.
DR.. Cook has Shown himself to be
the kind of traveller who is equal to
what he undertakes. In 1898 he at
tempted to scale Mount Mckinley, fol
lowing the trail of Alfred H. Brooks
and d. l.. Raeburn, the first white
men to reach the base of the famou:
Alaskan mountain. He was driver
back by glaciers, but the Typographical
data he obtained convinced him tina
the ascent was not impossible. Three
years later he equipped new expedi
ton and attacked the grim mountain
that rose $4,000 feet above the line o
perpetual snow and 10000 feet abov,
the sea level. For hellish conditions
and physical disaomforts the ques

ascent of Mount Mckinley, is tam

.RUMORS OF ROW
OVER LEPROSARIUM
SUPERINTENDENT LOOKING STRANGE
MANNER WHICH THINGS ARE BEING CoNDUCTED-PEAsE
SAID TO HAVE MADE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES IN LOCAL OFF,
RESULT

From the stories which come back
to this city from Washington it APP
pears that there are going to be some
ructions in the Marine Hospital Ser
vice of this city over the leper ques-
ton which may result in changes from
the policies which have been outlined
by the local officials. 1t is understood
that Surgeon-General Wyman is deep
ly interested in the matter and that
he is not altogether pleased with the
manner in which things have been
going.
When the appropriation for a Fed
eral Leprosarium was made it was
done chiefly through the influence of
the Surgeon-General, who took great
interest in the matter and DR.. Brinck-
erhoff was sent here to take charge of
the work. A few months ago change
was made through which DR.. Currie
of the local Marine Hospital Service
was placed in charge as director, while
Brinckerhoff took a subordinate posi-
ton as bacteriologist, the general ru-
NOR in this city being that DR.. Brinck'
erhoff had refused the position at Mo
lokai as it would bring him into per.
sonal contact with the lepers, while
the lower position would enable
him to remain in this city beyond the
firing line. This has not brought hin
into any greater favor at Washington
according to the reports.
Through the workings of DR.. Brinck.
erhoff the Territory was persuaded tC
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-09-07

appropriate money with which a lab
oratory, which is just being complet-
ed, could be built at Kalihi, for the
use of the Federal officials. This kept
the bacteriologist from being sent to
Molokai, where the main work is to
be done. 1t is understood that Sur
geon-General Wyman is opposed to
this and believes that the work should
all be done at the main leprosarium
and not at scattered places through
out the Territory.
Beyond this it is stated that Pease,
the Federal man who had charge of
the erection of the buildings at Molo-
kai, has made complaints against the
manner in which things are carried on
here. 1t is said that he states that he
was unreasonably hampered in his
work here by the men in charge local
ly in the Federal service and that a
clean sweep of the men who have been
handling the work would go far to-
ward improving the work done.
Another cause of complaint which
Surgeon-General Wyman is said to
have against the local officials in his
department is the manner in which
it has been proposed to conduct the
Leprosarium. The plan was that Drs.
Currie and Holman should take turns
on Molokai, each spending three
months there and then the next three
months in this city. It is argued, and
seems reasonably certain to a layman
that any such system would be sure to
result in mismanagement.
