various hospital physicians he has had consid-
cradle success Last year he tried his treatment
a patient suffering from tuberculosis of the
lungs under the observation Of well known
London physician This case has been certified
cured. 1t has been decided to take six con-
sumption cases from the London hospitals and
allow Mr.. Doig to treat them under the closest

disease from the lungs to the surface. A radius
of Inflammation is set up from the surface OF the
skin TO the lung by means Of chemical heat
The pus travels to the surface through this ray,
which is kept open. and all the pus is drawn out

PEARL HiRbOR DOCK
AND PERKINS NEGLECT

WASHINGTON, February 1S.-Be-
cause the bids for the Pearl Harbor dry
dock are considerably in excess of the
sum Congress authorized for that struc-
ture-$2, 600, 000-it seems likely that
nothing can be done in the way of
building it for a year at least. The
Pacific Construction Company of San
Francisco, composed of c. F. Mccarthy
and Healy of Healy & Tibbitts. is low
est bidder, but its bid is in the neigh
borhood of $2,500,000. This is for a
750-foot dock. The Secretary of the
Navy would like to have the dock
heightened to 11S0 feet, as that would
be big enough to take in two ships at
one time, but the cost would be in
creased to $3,000,000, and Congress has
not authorized that expense.
In. order to get something done if
possible, Delegate Kalanianole ana his
secretary, George B. Mcclellan. of Ra-
waii, called ON the President to put the
case before him. There were about
twenty persons in the reception room,
and the President asked why the mat
ter was not presented to Senators Flint
and Perkins, and when Kalanianole re-
piled that Perkins had declined to do
anything, the President showed anger
and denounced Perkins in heated terms.
Those present declared that he In
quired of Congressman Hayes, who was
present, why he couldn't make man
of Perkins, and that he raised his voice
and said he wished Perkins had grain
of manhood in him, not that he ex-
peeted him to be man, but that he
wished he could show spark of real
manhood. A. B. Snow, professor of his
tory at Stanford, was one of those pres
emit, and he, with others, was greatly
surprised. Neither Hayes, Kalanianole,
nor Mcclellan would state what the
President had said, but they declared
that they were embarrassed Perkins
is much affected by the Presidents at
titude toward him. He went home from
the Senate quite i'll, and his friends fear
for his health.

President Mccarthy, of the Pacific
Construction Company has been in town
during the opening and is tarrying in
expectation of the award. 1t is the un-
derstanding here that the Healy lib
bits Construction Company Of San
Francisco and shipping concern are
interested in the Pacific Construction
Company s bid. There has been some
conjecture here as to whether William
Matson was not the last named party,
although the contractors on the ground
here say Mr.. Matson has his hands
about full at present.
The outcome of the venture at Pearl
Harbor, as far as the contractors are
concerned, will be watched with much
interest. 1t is exceedingly difficult to
figure upon a drydock, because of the
many uncertainties involved in the con-
'struction thereof. The Bureau of Yards
and Docks, on the whole, has had a
hard time with its drydock contracts
as will be recalled by bearing in mind
the experiences at Portmouth, N. H.,
Brooklyn and Mare Island On the
other hand the contractor got through
with the construction of the dock at
Charleston in splendid shape and is un.

MIR. Whitehouse, who came here in
the interest of the E. j. Lord Company
will probably return to Honolulu by the
Alameda. Mr.. Lord will tarry here for
few weeks till after Inauguration. In
the meantime he will go to New Orleans
to witness the Mardi Gras festivities.
Delegate Kalanianaole. has endorsed
A. l.. c. Atkinson to succeed District
Attorney Breckons. 1t is understood
here that Mr.. Atkinson has the inside
track and is likely to get the appoint
melit The President thinks very high
ly of him.
The Delegate and Mr.. Mcclellan have
been to see the Commissary General of
the Army regarding the purchases of
supplies for the army at Honolulu. The
General has agreed to write to his sub
ordinates to purchase at Honolulu,
! wherever it may prove feasible, espe-
cially such articles as coffee, meat, sug-
ar fruit and the like. He finds it is
not practicable to purchase all army
supplies at Honolulu because it would
mean the establishment there of a big
storehouse and the stationing of force
of inspectors there.

WELCOME FOR MORMON
LEADER
Continued from Page one.l

several times since, but to Bishop and
Mrs. Nibley, Mrs. McCune, the Misses
Nibley and Smith, the feast was a
curiosity, but they enjoyed it.
During the luau the Hawaiian band
played in the yard, Mr.. Naone leading.
The President sat near the band much
of the time and asked for various
pieces to be played. He was greeted
by many of the Hawaiians with the
deepest of respect.
Meets Old Friend.
A touching incident occurred when
an old blind Hawaiian woman met the
President. They were old friends; for
the President met her when he first
came to the islands. She cried from
pure joy and patted the President S
hand. The President spoke to her in
Hawaiian and this pleased her the more.
The Hawaiians were surprised that the
President should have retained such a
command of the native language, but
Bishop Nibley said that it was the
common thing when George @. Cannon
was alive for these two men to swing
from English into Hawaiian. Both be-
came fluent Hawaiian scholars during
President Smith and family will be
the guests of Elder and Mrs Abram
Fernandez during their stay in Homo
lulu. They will visit Laie and hold
services there, and will also go to other
islands. The President is particularly
anxious to visit the volcano this time.
On Sunday next he will preach in the
Mormon church on Punchbowl. The
entire party will leave for the main
land again about March %.
President Smith, despite his seventy
years, is hale and hearty, vigorous in
his movements and looks to be ten
years younger. AS the head of the
Mormon church at the present time, he
has shown himself a strong leader, and
his capacity for successful fnanciering
has aided largely in the upbuilding of
the temporal side of the church.

MORMON CHURCH A
STRONG INSTITUTION

f. S. Calvin, general manager of
the Southern Pacific Railway, at San
Francisco, a recent visitor in Homo
lulu, wrote to Secretary Wood of the
Promotion Committee with regard to
President Joseph Smith of the Mormon
church, who arrived yesterday, asking
Mr.. Wood to meet the leader and ex-
tend him courtesies. His letter con
clnded:
You will find him delightful gen

the Mormon church is very strong

WIRELESS WITH Los ANGELES

Los ANGELES. February 1S.-Los
