were looking for money. Some

by some one knowing local condi-

PORTUGUESE PROTEST
MENACE Of DISEASE
Societies May Petition Governor
in Regard to FiIipinos Who
Are Sick.

The menace of disease spreading
among the members of their benevolent
societies has caused prominent Portu-
guese of the local associations to deter
mine upon making a protest to the
further immi grafton of diseased Fill
pinos for the plantations.
1t Isl quite likely that within a day
or two committees representing the Lu-
sitana and San Antonio societies, as
well as others of smaller memberships,
will confer upon the subject and draft
a memorial to the governor asking that
some means be devised whereby dis
eased Fihpinos may be prevented from
landing in Hawaii.
The ground of objection Will be based
entirely upon health. Members of the
societies state that the Filipinos who
are diseased are being put on planta-
tions all over the Islands and this
brings them into close contact with
Portuguese plantation laborers and
homesteaders, thereby increasing the
opportunities for spreading disease
among the Portuguese, as well as other
natiOnaites. of course.
This is menacing the good health of
the Portuguese people and opens up the
way for depicting the treasures of the
associations through the payment Of
sick benefits. The sick benefits are al
ready large, but the introduction of dis
eased people among the members in the
plantation and homestead sections,
opens the way for a very material in
crease in the sick benefits, and probably
for the payment of the death benefits.
As each member Of a society con
tributes one dollar to a fund for the
widow when member dies. it is not
very alluring prospect for the mem
bers of the societies to see diseased
people dumped down in the midst Of
their members, increasing the oppor-
tunities for greater mortality among
them.
Concerted action will, therefore. be
taken by the societies toward calling
the executive 5 attention to this phase
of the question.

NJ CROSSON READY
FOR AMENDMENTS
Tells Committees He viii Agree
to Any Reasonable Change
in Bill.
By Ernest G.. Walker.
(MaiI Special to The Advertiser.)

(Nail Special to The Advertiser
WASHINGTON, December 1G.-Ac-
Invites before the senate and house
committees over the general irrigation
bill for Hawaii have progressed some
what and a few more or less definite
points are being established as a result
of the hearings. These hearings are
now at an end till after the holidays.
Some amendments to the bill have
been suggested One of these is pro
hibition against entering upon agricul-
tural pursuits as far as the irrigation
companies are concerned. Another is
that the Governor should approve the
rental rates for subleases of lands from
the irrigation company, before these
rates can go into effect. Another sug
gestion is that irrigation companies
shall have the rights of eminent domain
only for rights of way for fumes. tun-
nels and bitches. The bill already pro-
vides that homesteaders shall be given
the lowest rates for water allowed to
any consumer but it has been suggested
that the maximum prices for water
must be approved by the Governor of
the Territory before becoming effective.
1t is asserted that John T. McCrosson,
of Hawaii, who is here attending the
hearings and who is understood to con-
template organizing company to de-
velop water for the Kau district of
Hawai-, will accept the amendments
just described to make the terms salts
factory to the Governor. He has stated
to the committee that he has no OBJ
lection to any reasonable amendments.
