MOSQUITO MUST
LEAVE HONOLULU
Mott-Smith Plans a Campaign
to Rid the City Of the Busy
Midnight Pests.

The mosquito must 90. The board
of health and the acting governor have
docreed it and the fate Of the midnight
pest is decided. An active campaign
is to be instituted against him and Ho.
nolulu is TO be freed from one of it's
most irritating and serious drawbacks.
Mr.. Mott.Smith expects to be able to
get the cooperation Of the shippers ,
wharf committee to the tune of about
$1,000 a month, and with this sum to
spend, campaign can be started which,
the president of the board of health
believes, will be effective not only in
getting rid of the skeets but also in
greatly improving the sanitary condi-
tions of the city.
Mr.. Mott.Smith stated yesterday af-
ternoon that he had written to the
shippers wharf committee, asking them
if they would go into the campaign to
the extent of $1,000 a month. This"
said Mr.. Mott-Smith, "will go long
way toward an efficient campaign. Up
to last February the shippers wharf
committee was contributing 1925 a
month toward the mosquito campaign
and 5000 toward the rat campaign. But
before the legislature met it was an
nounced that estimates had been pre-.
pared for the cost of the two campaigns
and would be presented to the legisla-
ture, which would be asked to make
corresponding appropriations.
"But the legislature failed to appro-
pirate for mosquito campaign, though
it did make an appropriation for a rat
campaign. AS consequence about all
the good that has been done in the way
of clearing the city of mosquitoes has
been lost.
cone thousand dollars will be suffi-
cient to clear out the mosquitoes from
Kaimuki to Fort Shafter and from the
electric light works up Nuuanu valley
to the sea. The campaign will be con-
Quoted under the auspices of the board
of health, and it is probable that a
separate department will be organized
to handle it.
Mosquito work is almost synony-
nous with sanitary work, for the breed
ing places of the mosquito are frequent
ly in old piles of trash, damp spots,
piles of rotting vegetation and such
other places as are breeding places of
disease. The sanitary and the mosquito
men will cooperate, though there may
be little difference in the districting,
as it is hardly probable that a sanitary
man can cover as much ground as a
mosquito man.
"Part of the work of the mosquito
brigade will be to put oil on pools
about the city and also to clear out the
breeding places, which are frequently
| in piles of refuse and in old tin cans.
There is an awful lot of tin cans in
this city. You have no idea how many
are thrown out. Canned goods come to
Honolulu by the carload, for we use
more of that kind of stuff than do most
other places.
"We will try to evolve a plan of
bringing together all the different ele-
ments working toward the same end.
We will get the garbage department,
the superintendent of public works, who
has to do with filling up the low places;
| about a dozen prisoners to do the heav-
| Ter work; the board of health and the
mosquito department.
81 think that we can institute cam
paign that will almost completely rid
Honolulu of mosquitoes"

THINK STRUGGLED
DOPE OFF TRANSPORT

SAN FRANCISCO, November 81
William McShane, for twenty-four
years a steyedore along the San Fran
cisco waterfront, was arraigned before
United States Commissioner Heacock
yesterday on a charge of smuggling
two five-tael tins of smoking opium
into this country. He was held in $500
bonds for appearance at his prelimi-
nary examination to be held at ten
O'Clock on Wednesday morning next.
The arrest was made by policeman
in Oakland on Wednesday, who follow
ed McShane into a Chinese store and
saw the Chinese in the act of paying
the old longshoreman for the opium,
which was on the counter. Selling the
opium, he placed McShane in custody.
Although the having of opium in pos
session is an offense under the State
law, it was deemed best to turn the
offender over to federal prosecution,
| and the warrant was accordingly is
sned yesterday.
1t is believed that the drug came
over either on the Chiyo Maru or a
transport, for McShane, on account of
his age, has done no longshore work for
some months. From the fact of his
having been at one time head steve
dore on the transport dock, he had
free passage through the gates and
WAS allowed to visit the other steam,
ship docks without question.
He claims that the package was
given to him by stevedore named
Wilson, who asked him to deliver it to
the Chinese. He processes ignorance
of the contents of the package

Careful Work.

The President is having these meas
ures all carefully drawn. He has a
very competent corps of men to do that
work, as was evidenced when he put
out the corporation tax as proyiso for
the Aldrich, Payne tariff law. Probably
no other President has had such com.
petent team in framing corporation
measures as Mr.. Taft now hasAin At
torney General Knox, Secretary of War
Dickinson and Secretary of State Knox.
When necessary he also calls in his old
colleague of the cabinet, Senator Root,
of New York.
These men, with the President, who
is adept in preparing legislation, not
only plug up all the legal loopholes but
they sound the sentiment of the legis,
lators with whom they have 10 deal and
frame their provisos accordingly. Presl'
