GOT DRUNK AND
DEATH FOLLOWED
Supervisors Exonerate Police
Surgeon Emerson From
Blame Over Ode.

You are herewith slapped on the
wrist, Messrs. Members of the terri
torial board of health, announced the
city and county supervisors last night,
when they adopted the report of the
committee on sanitation and health, in
which the committee asserted that Doc
tor Emerson was right in his diagnosis
of the now famous pneumonia case, and
that the territorial Oficials were wrong
when they diagnosed the same case as
plague. The man over whom the au-
thorities of the Territory and county
have locked horns, was drunk, anyhow,
asserts the county officials, and there
fore his death must have been caused
by pneumonia, nothing else, possibly
on the ground that pneumonia follows
a spree. The committees report is in
teresting. Here it is:
"Your committee on health and sani-
tation to whom was referred the case of
death attributed to pneumonia by
Doctor Emerson, police surgeon, but
which, as publicly reported the terri
torial authorities found to have been
caused by bubonic plague, beg leave to
report:
awe held an investigation and ques-
toned Doctor Emerson, Sheriff Jarrett
and Deputy Sheriff Rose about the case
with the following result, viz:
"0do, the dead man, some time be-
| fore his death went to Japanese doc
tor, who treated him for yellow jaun-
dice. Later he got drunk and slept
outdoors all one night.
'sThe following day he was sick and
retired to his room. He died unattend-
ed in the night and his death being re-
ported to the police, Mr.. Rose removed
the body to the undertaking rooms.
"Doctor Emerson found pneumonia
in the lungs and concluding that this
was the cause of death, certified ac'
cordingly.
"It appears that the territorial
health authorities took alarm at the re-
port of pneumonia, great many cases
of death from this cause having beer
reported within a short time previous
and an epidemic of pneumonia being
regarded as the forerunner of buboniC
plague. They accordingly made a fur
Their postmortem examination and it il
said discovered evidence of the plague
"Doctor Emerson frankly admitted
that he might have carried the examin
alton further than he did, saying h
would not take any chances again. /
may be mentioned that the board o
health had given no notice of tn
suspicious prevalence of pneumonia
Neither did its physicians invite tn
prison surgeon to attend the additiona
autopsy. :.
Gin view Of the facts, your commit
tee does not attach any blame to tn
, police surgeon, as he had ascertaine
the probable cause of death from rea
, sonable evidence"

enough, is enough to get their votes.
Hilo is about the only place where
the prohibitionists do not look for
much. This is more because Hilo has
been so busy watching itself grow that
it has lost sight of the fact that there
is prohibition campaign on. Indiffer-
enee to the moral issue involved in the
fight against booze is what will pos
sibly prevent prohibition majority
being given in the Big Island metrop-
oils
AS the polling date approaches, the
hopes of the prohibitionists rise. There
has been considerable fuctuation re-
ported in the sentiment prevailing
throughout the Territory, one week the
prohibitionists having the majority and
the next the liquor sellers. This week
appears to be the prohibitionists' turn
and it is confidently expected that the
vote on Tuesday will be surprise and
staggerer for those who base their
hopes on the idea that the Hawaiian does
not know and appreciate the danger to
himself and to his race through the
presence of the saloon.
Tonight the prohibition rally will be
at Moanalua and tomorrow night at
Waterfowl.

State Department Alarmed Over
Continued Silence of Consul
Edwin Trimmer.
THE TACOMA ORDERED SOUTH
Intense Hostility to Americans
Reported From Supporters
of DR.. Madriz.

WASHINGTON, July s1.-The au-
thorities of the state department are
now expressing the fear that Edwin
Trimmer, the American consul at Cape
Gracias a Dios, Nicaragua, has been as
sassinated by the sympathizers of Doc
tor Madriz, No word has been receiv-
ed for some time directly from Consul
Trimmer and there has been no atten-
ton paid by him to official messages
sent to him. His silence and the known
bitter hostility that exists among the
Madriz supporters towards Americans
form the grounds for the suspicious of
foul play of the state department.
Another Cruiser Ordered South.
AS protest against the intense hos
tility openly expressed against the Uni
ted States, the navy department yester-
day ordered the commander of the pro-
tected cruiser Tacoma to proceed to
Cape Gracias a Dios. Commander Davis
is ordered to find Consul Trimmer, if
he be still alive, and to remain off OF
the northern Nicaraguan port pending
developments in the situation.

COMMUNICATING
GANG AT WORK
The PhOney Ten-Spot indicates
Showers of the Queer Are
Operating.

One of the most dangerous counter
feits that has ever been passed in Ha-
wall has come into the possession of
United States District Attorney Breck-
ons and he is looking for the man who
passed it and for the man or gang who
made it.
The counterfeit is a ten dollar gold
piece and is remarkably good work, al
though its falsity can be easily detected
npon careful examination. What makes
it dangerous is that specifically it is a
good facsimile of the genuine article
and few people examine with any care
the coins they receive.
The coin, however, Is considerably
thicker than the genuine article and ia
quite good deal lighter. A ten dollar
gold piece made by the government Is
1wenty-two earats iinej this eOuntert0t
is only fourteen carats. Examined nm
der a glass, numerous flaws and much
lack Of fine detail can be detected.
The coin came into the hands Of Air
BreekOns from one of the local banks
that threw It out. If it has been made
here, there are probably others Of the
same kind floating about and they con
stitute q dangerous menace TO CONNER
eial transactions. Mr.. Breekons hOp6l

SILVER TONED RIFLE
TEAM OFF ON SIERRA
With Instructions to Sing Way
Into Hearts of Americans
the NightingaIes Depart.
(From Thursdays Advertiser.l

y AuNCEllbGEJ
The chorus of national guard night
ingales fitted away yesterday morning
on the Sierra, en- fight to Camp Perry,
Ohio, where they are to sing themselves
into the hearts of the American people
and incidentally take the regulation
number of cracks at the targets in the
annual rifle competition which starts
on the twenty-third of next month.
Commissary Sergt. Edward B. Blan-
chard gave the bevy the slip at the last
moment and the team few away one
shy. Sergeant Blanchard is q good shot
with a rifle, but he evidently did not
think that he was strong enough on
the twitter. An effort was made to
have young A. L. Seroggy take his
place, but Scroggy could not get away
at such short notice, and Ho zap was
not considered because his musical edu-
cation has been neglected and he takes
shooting qualifications and national
guard regulations too seriously.
Scroggy, it was said yesterday, can u
hit bunch of balloons with popgun,
but his trigger habits are excellent,
and above all he can play the ukulele.
One of the heartless testers about town
was overheard to soliloquise that IL
Caruso could be induced to make Homo
lulu his home and join the national
guard, he would be made captain of
the rife team without firing shot.
Adjt.-Gen. j. Walter Jones is not
entitled to all the credit for picking
the bunch of warblers that nestled into
the Sierra yesterday morning. There is
Prvt. James X. Evans, who has not
done five per cent of national guard
duty during the past year, and his name
/ is on the list to be dropped from the
company for non-attendanee to drills.
Evans, it was said yesterday, can ehirp
! entrancingly, and several of those who
made the team on the general sum
| ming up,v before the men held theiI
little shooting bees to get into har.

Evans did not go on the excursion 70
Camp Perry they would not make the
trip.
tfhe colonel is always mindful Of the
delicate mechanism of the rifle team
alias the +" nightingale chorus" and he
would not do anything that might gel
on their nerves. Besides, who evel

collecting Forced Loans.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-SeveraI
consultations were held at the state de-
partment today on the possible action
of the United States in connection with
the removal of William Pittman, tho
American engineer, from Bluehelds
Bluff to Managua. Pittman had been
held for several weeks by the Madriz
forces rs a prisoner of war. Acting
Secretary Of State Wilson has called in
his international law advisers to assist
him.
1t is believed that the department.
will be content with instructing United
States Consul Olivares at Managua to
insist on fair treatment for Pittman,
and to watch the procedure at Managua
with view to guarding against in
justice.
Representatives of Madriz here claim
that the Managua government was un-
der no obligations to keep Pittman at
the Bluffs. They point out that as
early as March this government was
notified that Madriz had ordered his
subordinates not to act summarily with
Americans captured, but to send them
forthwith to Managua. This step was
taken, it was explained to insure the
safekeeping of prisoners.
Mai! reports received at the depart
ment tell of the efforts of Madriz to
raise money. Forced loans, 1t Is said,
are being exacted, particularly from
those suspected Of hostility to the
Madriz government. The most fire.
quent procedure is reported to be to
make a demand for loan, one-half to
be paid within twenty-four hours and
the rest in three days, with an increase
Of rs per cent. if payment is not forth
coming.
Police OF soldiers surround the house
Of the victim and shut off all means
of securing food If the money is not
paid. In one instance it is said the
loan demanded amounted to 10000.
The Mexican ambassador was In
communication during the day with
Acting Wilson in relation to
press reports that the department was
surprised at the publication of the cor
respondenee between President Dia7
and President Taft concerning the
Nicaraguan situation. The ambassador
assured Wilson that Secretary KNOB
had made it clear to him that after
the substance Of the letters had beer
published in the United States there
would be no objection to the publiea
ton of the letters, which, accordingly
were given to the press of Mexico City

BOARD OF ENGINEERS
ON KAHULUl HARB0R

Col William T. Rossell, of the board
of engineers for rivers and harbors,
estimates the cost of the Kahului har-
bor improvements at $S75,0OO and rec
ommends to the board directly and to
the war department through the board
the extension of the breakwater to
American Girl Rock and to Point x,
and the dredging of the harDor 10
depth of thirty-fve feet. The recon-
mendations were transmitted to congress
by Secretary Dickinson. In his report
Colonel Rossell says:
"While no precise estimate OF tne
cost of this work can be gwen, IL
should not exceed, on the basis OF tne
figures given by the district omcer'
$S75, 900. r.
"The board believes the LOCALITY
worthy of improvement to TINS eS1e eie
and recommends the adoption OIL the
above project at an estimated COST u

board copy of an agreement between
the railroad company and the terri
