Newsletter
Racy Paragraphs From the Capitol On
Current Topics.
(By Oscar Brenton.)

residential portion of Honolulu, is
the center of infection of cholera.
1t is there the germs play hide and
seek in the taro patches which have
a market value of two hundred
thousand dollars. A lot of property,
that, to endanger but scarcely an
offset for the earning value of the
lives that have been taken through
the spread of the disease.
When first learned that cholera
germs had been located, beyond a
doubt, in one of the ponds and that
it is there the greatest amount of
infection remains, was impressed
by the magnitude of the loss in dol
lars it would be to the owners. In
my estimate of the loss | was wrong
for it is not intended by the medi-
cal fraternity, or rather profession,
(for | am constrained to believe
there is lack of fraternalism
among the doctors,) that a pound
of the tubers shall be destroyed. 1t
takes six days before real signs of
the living germs are noticeable where
they are being developed, or what
ever the term, and DR.. Currie has
not less than twenty samples Of
taro, and the water in which it
grows, awaiting decision. But
enough has been shown to prove the
existence of cholera microbes, germs
or bacilli, in sufficient quantity to
kill off all of Honolulu. During
the past few days Doctor Currie,
and Inspector Bowman of the Hilo
district, have been investigating
deaths which occurred prior to the
first reported cholera case. 1t has
been shown that there were several
of these persons affected by the
disease and who died from it, No
care was taken, they were buried in
the usual way and their clothing
passed out among friends. Death
stalked wherever the articles were
sent. In the opinion of the physi-
clans who have been investigating
the deaths the Kewalo cases were of
cholera and that it was brought
down in the poi made from the
Manoa taro. That is settled. There
is no doubt about it but where the
first infection came from is yet a
mooted question. The Filipinos
are getting the brunt of the blame
and l guess it is coming to them.
DR.. Clegg has traced cholera and
found case where a man had the
germs for seventy-two days after
being declared cured. Hull, the
germ carrier, detained at Kalihi, is
not well man by any means but
he has improved so far that the
doctors are practically certain he
will recover. He might show health
and yet be charged with germs.
He might go to California or Wal
luku and distribute them there in
the natural way and either place
would go in mourning.
But regarding the means to be
adopted to save the taro to the
owners of the patches and have poi
in condition to eat. 1t is suggested
that central stations be established
where the taro may be cooked under
the supervision of a representative
of the Board of Health. Once
thoroughly cooked at 240o fahr.
there is no chance for germs to
survive.
But what about making the taro
into paiai and poi?" | asked a
member of the Board of Health
staff of physicians, Is it not posi-
bic for this cooked taro to be infect
ed in the places where the poi is
made. Those shops are said to be

Costly
Epidemic
Below Will be Found a Statement Of
Monies Paid.

TO IMPORTERS AND OTHERS CONTRIBUTE
ING TO THE MAUI QUARANTINE
FUND.
Gentlemen During the epidem-
ic of Diphtheria, Small Pox, and
Scarlet Fever, which diseases made
their appearance on Central Maui
late in the year 1910, and continued
until well into the month of April
1911, it became necessary to appro-
pirate the Maui Quarantine Fund
for the purpose of combating the
epidemic, as no other public funds
were at that time available.
1t was agreed between the Execu-
tive Committee in charge of the
Quarantine Fund and the Board of
Supervisors of the County of Maui,
that all expenses connected with
the fight against disease up to
March 31st, 1911, should be borne
equally:
That is to say all expenses for
Guards, etc., incurred by the
County, should be added to all ex-
penses incurred by those in charge
of the Health conditions at the
various centres of infection, and
the sum total divided into two
parts; one to be assumed by the
County of Maui, the other to be
taken care of by the Executive Com
mittee out of the Quarantine Funds
already in hand, and to be accumu-
lated:
The Quarantine Fund on hand
January LIST. 1911, was as follows:
Deposit Baldwin National
Bank of Kahului so, 1914
Deposit First n ional
Bank of Wailuku. 3,725.O1
Total $5,SS2.15
AS it was evident from the begin
ming that this amount of money
would be largely exceeded, it was
decided at a Meeting of the Import
ers to re-establish the impost of 10
cents per ton on all importations
from Mainland and Foreign Points,
and to include fuel oil, lumber and
fertilizers in the list of articles to be
charged:
Said impost on tonnage to COM
mence January 1st, 1911, and to
continue until all outstanding ac-
counts had been liquidated, and a
reserve fund of $1,000 had been
accumulated ready for immediate
use. The Quarantine Fund on

ONE IS ALREADY ENGAGED
Army Officers Experience Muc+ Diff
Guilty In Preserving Neutraiity-Be.
Iieved illegal Expeditions Can BE
Stopped by Aid of Aviators.

WashingtCn-The war department
Is about to establish an aeroplane
patrol along the Rio Grande river and,
for the first time In this country, avi-
ators will enter the military service of
the United States.
So far as an air scout can dis
cover, General Hoyt, the commander
of the department of Texas, will soon
be in position to determine the
facts as to the activities of the insur-
gents along the Mexican border
At present, owing to conflicting re-
ports, the army officers engaged In
maintaining neutrality find the task
difficult, and the troops are con-
tinually making wild goose chases
after military expeditions reported to
be crossing the Rio Grande, which
rarely materialize.
In the meantime, when the troops
are on these false scents, it Is pre-
sumed that armed parties make their
way across the river at unguarded
posts
General Wood chief of staff; Gen.
eral Allen, chief signal officer, and
John Barry Ryan, president OF the
United States AeronauticaI Reserve
held conference Monday, and after.
ward 1t was announced that the war
department has accepted the tender OF
Robert Collier of one of his new
Wright biplanes, which is now In New
York, and this will be rushed to the
Mexican border by express and turned
over to General Hoyt The reserve
is prepared to furnish half dozen
other machines for military use at
short notice.
With that number of machines
soaring constantly over the crooked
channel of the Rio Grande and back
into the country where Illegal expedi-
lions may be organizing, it is believed
the military will be able practically
to establish an impenetrable patrol
along the border.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO CULLOM
Burton Links His Name With Lincoln
In Defense Against Remarks
of Bailey.

Westinghouse that the
United States senate regards Senator
Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois as next in
esteem to Abraham Lincoln, of all
men the state has produced, Senator
Burton of Ohio, in s. speech Monday
against Senator Lorimer retaining his
seat in the senate, criticized Senator
Bailey of Texas for his suggestion that
If Mr.. Lorimer's seat was illegally
obtained, the condition might apply
to Senator Cullom, his colleague.
The senator from Texas" he said,
did wrong, no doubt unwittingly, In
suggesting that if Mr. Lorimers cleo
ton is invalid, so is that of the senior
senator Senator Cullom' was NOM
mated by the whole state of Illinois,
receiving plurality &C $1,000 votes.
1t is unfair, even in the remotest wa.y,
to intimate that there is anything n
common between the two cleo
tions
For more than hfty years the
senior senator has served the great
state of Illinois, and for thirty years
he has been in the senate We all
prize him as member of this body.
OF all the men whom Illinois has pro-
duced, we regard him as next in es-
TEEN to him who dwells on an unap-
proachable pinnacle-Abraham Lin
coin"

mated at $1,000, ooo-Many Records
and Papers Gone.

Jefferson City, Mo.-Missouri's CAPT.
toll building burned Sunday night with
a probable loss of 100000, with no
insurance, besides the many state
papers and records that were de-
stroyed.
Lightning which struck the cupola
of the dome spread the flames to the
roof of the house of representatives
on the north side of the structure,
and in less than half-hour 1t was
apparent that the entire building was
doomed
Because OF the inadequacy of the
water pressure the fire could not be
reached, and no aid could be rem
dered for some time by the local fire
company
Governor Hadley personally direct
ed the fight against the flames, which,
because of the age of the building,
rapidly gained Roadway.
The local National Guard company
was called out and formed a Gordon
around the building, driving specta-
tors from dangerous positions and re-
moving records from the different
state departments.
The records of the house of repre-
sentatives were destroyed while those
of the senate were saved In the
state treasurer's Office more than $780,
600 is in the time vault, supposedly
f1reproof, and may be saved when the
debris is cleared away.
The historic capitol was erected in
1888 at cost of s350,0O0 and in 1887
remodeled at cost of $4,000.

DARING HOLDUP IN CHICAGO
Daylight Robber Cowes Employees OF
Restaurant and Escapes With
Large Sum of Money.

Chicago.-A criminal adventurer of
unusual daring walked into Rector's
restaurant In broad daylight, cowed
two employees with a brace of re-
volvers, compelled them to fill his
pockets with the contents of the cSsh
drawers and the safe-in all $S,S02.25
and escaped.
He was not masked. neither did he
appear nervous. After the robbery
he walked out OF the place, Monroe
and Clark streets, leaving behind only
two clues to his identity. One clue
was a street car transfer and the
other was half chewed cigar.
The holdup was witnessed from
across the room by a woman employe,
but the robber completed his work be-
fore she could give the alarm.
Although only one man entered the
dining room, the police believe he had
three companions stationed on the
stairs in the street entrance at 122
Monroe street. -Four men are said to
have left the restaurant entrance i'm
mediately after the robbery. They
walked across the street in sight of
two policemen in Monroe street, who
knew nothing of the robbery until
some minutes later.

MILLIONS IN BIG LAND GRAB
Illinois investigating Body Reveals
Vast Alleged Inroads on Waters
Fix Loss at $3.50, 100000.

Chicago.-The state of Illinois has
been illegally deprived of thousands
of acres of land along the shores of
Lake Michigan and other waterways
at a value of at least $3.50, 900 by
large corporations and private inter-
ests of the state. Chicago has been
the largest sufferer.
The Illinois Central railroad alone
has grabbed 400 acres in the city's
front yard and the attorney general
should sue to recover its value and
perhaps revoke the company's charter.
The Chicago river has been camped on
illegally from end to end by great cor
porations and business houses.
These are a few of the conclusions
reached by the Chiperfield committee,
which was appointed by the Forty
sixth general assembly to investigate
submerged lands in the state. After
almost two years of exhaustive labor
the committee has compiled its report,
which consists of 16 large typewriter
volumes and which is accompanied by
two massive chests filled with maps,
photographs, documents and records
dating back to Indian days.
Bald statements and verbose
charges are not relied on by the COM
mittee to support the truth of their
findings With all the care Of expert
lawyers preparing case for court the
legal questions involved have been
gone into and hundreds of pages in
the report consist of supreme court de-
cisions. legislative enactments and
what amounts practically to complete
legal briefs.
And with no beating around the
bush or technical equivocation, the
committee makes the unqualified state
ment that the reclaimed empire stolen
from the people can be recovered.
Strong recommendation is made that
proceedings be started Immediately.
So comprehensive is the report In
the belief of lawyers who have seen
it that any ordinary members OF the
bar could walk into court with 1t un-
der his arm and turn the state of I'LL
nois upside down.

D|Az TROOPS FLEE

Ell Paso, Tex-Amid the joyful
shouts of the populace. Colonel Raba-
go and his command OF 800 federal
troops entered the city of Juarez Sun
day evening without molestation by
the revolutionists who had threatened
to take the town.
The star of the insurrecto leader,
Pasqual Orozco, who was to occupy
the city o. Juarez by sunrise Sunday
morning, appears to be on the wane.
HIS policy of delay has enabled rein
iorcements to reach JuareZ, and the
probability of taking that city is now
considered much more remote than
it was heretofore.
Other Ieinforcements, In the shape
of General Navarro's column, are en-
route from Chihuahua, and 1t Is ex-
pected here that the federals will be
able to ho-i the city and that, know
ing this, the insurrectos will retire.
The net result in killed and wound

co and Rabago is not known. The fed
eral loss cannot be learned, but II was

cut at Buache, ten miles south of Jua-

Pittsburg is growing at a fairly
rapid rate, but wants to increase still
more swiftly. That smoky town has
an ambition to reach the 100000
mark in population, and is bending
every effort in that direction. For
one thing, Pittsburg is pushing the
project for ship canal from that city
to Lake Erie, by which it is hoped to
Increase still further the already great
industrial activity of that district
Other schemes include a big rapid
transit system, with subway attach
ments, bringing various points into
easier reach; educational and other
expansion, and numerous improve
ments designed to increase the at
tractiveness and convenience of the
city and its environs. And Pittsburg
seems to have sufficient public spirit

WOULD DO AWAY
WITH CIVIL SERVICE
LEVI H. BANCROFT THREATENS
COMMISSION AT
HEARING.
HALT CALLED ON NEW BILLS
No More Individual Measures viii Be
introduced After Close of Next
Weeks Session According to
Speaker Ingram.

Madison.-At a hearing before the
civil service commission of his petit
ton that the Office of second attorney
general be exempt from the merit
rule, Attorney General Levi H. Ban
croft, indicated that if the commission
did not comply with his request he
would use the machinery of his office
service
Bancroft desires to appoint B. j..
Castle, and the commission has certi-
fed the names of three lawyers who
stood at the top of the list in the
examination for the place. The po-
last incumbent, Frank T. Tucker, a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for attorney general, was mys-
teriously drowned at Oshkosh, few
days before the primary last August.
The commission took the matter I'M
der advisement, but it probably will
refuse to exempt the position.
j. G. Mars, who was suspended from
the office of district attorney of For
est county by Governor McGovern, on
charges of misconduct, failed to APP
pear before the governor in response
to a summons, and he will be given
20 days to file an answer to the
charges with the governor, and A. c.
Umbreit, who has been appointed
temporarily in his place.
No more bills may be introduced by
individuals after the close Of next
weeks sessions, according to the con-
struction of the rules by Speaker In
gram of the assembly, and it has just
been discovered that this is the reason
why no action ever was taken upon
various resolutions calling for the
stoppage of new matter after certain
dates. The rule was adopted at the
last session, but owing to extensive
revision accomplished this year and
the fact that the new books contain
ing the manual were not distributed,
it had not occurred to anyone to find
out if that rule had been affected by
the changes Therefore, there was
some surprise when Speaker Ingram
announced that it stilEwas in force,
and that its provisions would be In
voked, as they provide that no new
bills shall be received after the fifth
week" of the session. He added further
that the committee on legislative
procedure, of which he is ex-officio
chairman, would oppose any extension
of the time limit.
This means that the number of
measures introduced at this session
will be smaller than any in recent
history. Two years ago the total
number of new bills was 1000, but up
to date the $50 mark has just about
been reached, counting hills in the
hands of the revision committees.
