Ed. Slicker of East Chicago pulled a
boy. about 9 years old, out of the lake
yesterday. The youngster. whose name
Mr.. Slicker failed to secure, was play
ing about on the pier that runs out
into the hsrbor at the entrance to the
canal Suddenly he lost his balances and
fell into the water. 1t happened that
an ore boat was coming into the har-
Dor at this time. and this created such
a disturbance in the water that when
the boy rose to the surface he was
washed farther out toward the lake
Mr.. Slicker was fishing on the pier, and
noticing the accident, threw out his
pole in the direction of the struggling
youngster when he came to the surface
the first time. The boy was either
too excited by his danger to realize
that the pole meant rescue for him, or
else he failed to notice it. In any event,
he sang a second time, and Sucker
decided that there was no further time
to be lost so he threw off his coat and
| leaped into the water, grasping the
| drowning lad as he rose to the sur
! face a third time. He was carried TO
the pier, where he soon revived and left
+, for his home without informing his de-
liverer of his name.

NELSON HEADING EAST
Battler in Chicago on Way to
Give Exhibition in
New York.
PRAISES WOLGAST'S SKILL
Says He Would Knock Milwaukee
Man Out, However, in a
Longer Match.

Battling Nelson reached Chicago yes
terday from the Pacific coast and will
depart today for New York, where he
is to give a boxing exhibition for the
benefit Of the New York newsboys. The
lightweight champion looked in the best
of shape and had nothing but COM
mandatory remarks to make about Ad
Wolgast. whom he recently met at Los
Angeles.
"Wolgtst is a good. tough. young
boy" he said and he put up great
bout-but I'm willing to take him on
any time he wants to go over the dis
lance route. don't know who I'll fight
in New York. They can pick their own
man. So far as Mcfarland is concern
ed, I'm willing to sign with Packey If
he can make a good showing with eth
err Thompson or Frayne, I'll give him
a couple of pounds If he can't make
the lightweight limit I'll be back in
this city inside Of one week and then
intend to rest for a couple Of months"
Nelson said that he intended to pro-
coed slowly back to the coast after he
got through his work in the east, and
that he expected to stop off for a time
at the Bar-O ranch in New Mexico.
Thence he will go to his ranch at Liv-
ermore, Cal, where he Will rest for a
time, and then he will take UP work in
the ring again. He says 1t is possible
he will retire in the fall.
| Nelson laughed at the idea that VOL
CAST could possibly have beaten him
if the bout had been longer.
MY lucky number has always been
! 23," he said, and if that bout had been
set for twenty three rounds Wolgast
would have taken the count"
The Battler has now developed ar
educational trend of mind and is send
ing his younger brother, Charley
through the University of California;
classical course. His other brother is
on the Battler's ranch.

APPEALED FOR
ALL MOSQUITOES MUST GO
Chamber of Commerce Speakers
Ask Help in Making City
immune From Disease.

Upon the eve of resigning from his
official position and entering private
practise, Doctor Hobby, chief quaran-
tine officer of the port of Honolulu,
yesterday addressed the members of the
chamber of commerce at their bimonth-
ly meeting on the subject of the i'm
portance of quarantine in Hawaii.
President Mott-Smi of the board
of health also addressed the meeting
on the work carried on by that depart
ment and especially those things Of
special gravity which are before it at
the present time.
Doctor Hobby dwelt with particular
emphasis ON the yellow fever, it's causes
and prevention and at the completion
of his address, those who heard him
had their ideas on the danger from
contagious diseases considerably disar-
ranged
After giving a resume of the geogra-
phical position of the islands which is
itself the heaviest handicap on the
quarantine service, and the various quar-
antinable diseases. Doctor Hobby went
into a more detailed account of malaria
and yellow fever.
Malaria is Just as bad he said,
"and more insidious. for Just as your
health officers can not isolate and quar-
antine a case of malaria so your quar-
antine officers can not quarantine and
disinfeet incoming ships for malaria or
what is still worse, for malaria infect
ed mosquitoes. This particular mos
quito. | believe does not exist here,
was unable to find it.
''In the case of yellow fever it seems
TO me that we are in a still more pre-
earious condition, for here the fire is
all laid and ready, the kindling is even
ly distributed, and only the match is
wanted. With large population en-
tirely nonimmune, with the stegomyia
mosquito widely scattered, all needed
is one early unsuspected case of yellow
fever to slip through quarantine or one
yellow fever infected stegomyia mos
quito to fit up Fort streec-after that
the deIuge.
ga yellow fever ease Is absolutely
harmless to others in the absence Of
the conveying mosquito. If then in
addition TO its campaign against rats
he board could institute a relentless
and uneeasing war against mosquitoes.
arousing the interest and enlisting the
sympathy and help of the entire com
munity this city could in ny opinion
be rendered 10 all intents and purposes
noninfeetible. Such 4 campaign. how
ever, must be preceded by ano her.

OvERTURN|NG
AUTO KILLS GIRL
A FATAL MIDNIGHT ACCIDENT
Miss Harriet Smith Is Killed
Instantly Near Pearl
City.

Miss Harriet Smith of Hyanis, Mas
sachusetts, was instantly killed about
midnight last night in an automobile
accident near Pearl City, the machine
being driven by Ollie Sorenson, who
was badly injured. In the machine
were also Miss Lucy Hegemann of New
York and Will Roth. The latter were
shaken up severely but not injured.
The body was brought to town in
Frank E. Thompson's big locomobile
machine and the remains taken to the
cottage of Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford Kim
ball, Lunalilo street between Pensa-
cola and Piikoi streets, where the de-
ceased and Miss Hegemann have been
living.
The party was out for an evening s
motor trip into the plantation country
and on returning toward town, AMI
while near Pearl City the accident oc-
cured. While rounding a sharp curve
the machine suddenly overturned. Miss
Smith. who was sitting in the front
seat with Mr.. Sorenson, gave two
screams and fell headlong upon the
road, the machine falling upon her. Mr..
Sorenson was thrown close by but es-
capped. being pinned beneath the ma
chine. The occupants of the back seat
were fortunate in being thrown out far
enough to miss being hit by the light
tonneau. When the machine was lifted
from Miss Smith it was seen that she
was dead.
Mr.. Thompson was driving in from
Waipahu when he saw man in the
middle of the road waving his arms.
This was Mr.. Roth The body Of Miss
Smith was lifted into the loeomobile
and wish Mr.. Sorenson he came at full
speed toward town. a rear tire fiatten-
ed and he came in riding on rim.

ell and will be shipped to the mainland

1t is expected that the next victim
of the resignation epidemic which is
running through the ranks of the ter
ritorial servants will be Carlos Long
who is a member of the liquor license
commission. Mr.. Long has not yet sent
in his resignation to the Governor, but
in view of the fact that Clarence Cooke
last week rendered his resignation
holding himself disqualified to act as a
license commissioner by reason of the
fact that he is a stakeholder in the
Island company, the vessels OF
which have bars where liquor is sold
Mr.. Long viii probably hold himself
disqualified because of the fact that he
is the owner of the building at 104
Beretania avenue. which is the location
of the FROST Saloon.
Mr.. Long. of course. is not the pro-
prietor of the saloon itself. The Ii.
cense stands in the names OF K Taxa
matsu and G. Tasaki. But he is, ac-
cording to the records in the tax of.
fee and the bureau OF conveyances, the
owner of the premises, and so is, OF
course, at least indirectly interested in
the liquor business.

this interesting document and to listen

The charge against him is nothing
less than larceny in the first degree and
from the wording Of the warrant it APP
pears that he surreptitiously, without
authority by law and without a few
other things did remove one piece OF
paper writing. which is undoubtedly
piece of writing paper with something
important written on it and said to be
worth $3.50.
As the police understand it. he is
said to have taken this paper from the
Office Of Harry Mills, who swore out the
warrant, but according TO that doeu-
ment it belonged to George Yamada.

night by Rose. the Jingle of the tele-
