NEW OUTBREAK
OF SMALLPOX

Seven fresh cases of smallpox
among the Portuguese ana Spanish i'm
migrants, was the bulletin given out
this morning by Lr Ramus, head of
the federal quarantine service.
This will mean that many will be
detained for a further fourteen days
from yesterday and today but just
how many has not yet been determin.
ed. Luckily a camp of eight hundred
was not affected, and if no further
cases develop among this crowd, then
they will be released on Wednesday
morning.
Two Of these fresh cases developed
positively yesterday, and the other
five this morning. Three of the cases
occurred in the measles camp, one
in the Portuguese camp and others in
outside camps, Four different camps
have been affected by this outbreak.
The outbreak in the measles camp
will mean that from seventy to eighty
will be held for a further fourteen
days from yesterday. The authorities
had taken the precaution to split the
whole eighteen hundred odd into
camps, in order that any further out
breaks would not involve the deten-
tion of the whole lot. This has proved
an excellent course, for by this means
a camp of eight hundred will be re-
leased next Wednesday, If no infec-
tious disease occurs among them in
the meantime.
This serious outbreak, of course,
will mean increased outlay against

SKIPPER'S SLIP
IS CONDONED

Captain Lewis of the British steam
er Saint Kilda had no one to greet
him off port yesterday when he ar
rived from Newcastle, N, S, w, and
with that Irish independent spirit of
his he came right in. His snip was
abreast of the lighthouse before the
pilot the doctor and the customs men
were able to stop him and get on
board.
This, or course, was breach of the
health regulations of the port but
there was no breach of the customs
rules. Captain Lewis explained to
DIR. Ramus that he was under the i'm
preston that he had to come into
the harbor to obtain pratique, and eX-
pressed his regret at the mistake that
he had made, In the circumstances,
DIR, Ramus took no further action, and

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO
HAWAIPS ORGANIC ACT

Governor Frear's term of office ex,
pires at midnight and at that time, he
will have completed his full term OF
office. The chief executive was seen
at noon today, and he said that he
had received no word of his successor.
The enterprislng newspapermen on
the mainland will, doubtless, send
word through by cable as soon as
President Taft announces who is to
succeed me" said the governor.
Governor Frear announced this
morning that there is being forwarded
to Washington draft of the proposed
amendment in the Organic Act, as
applies to the holding or taking up Of
land in blocks of one thousand acres.
Prior to the passing of the Organic
Act there was much land, over and
above one thousand acres, taken up
by corporations and others. That
land is not affected by the amend
ment; the land over and above one
thousand acres, that has been acquir-
ed later, however. is dealt with, and
the amendment demands that at least
one tenth of all lands so held be set
aside for homesteading purposes.
This change will do away with GER
tain Objectionable features, and at the
same time, as far as operation, in
creese the available homestead lands,

suggest the proposed amendment to
the Organic Act, and Governor Frear
said this morning that he could see no

objection to the change.
The preamble and proposed amend
ment read as follow:
An act to amend an act entitled "An
Act to Provide a Government for the
Territory of Hawaii" approved April
thirtieth, nineteen hundred, as amend
ed by an act approved May twenty
seventh, nineteen hundred and ten.
Be 1t Enacted by the Senate and

ciety just missed it.
1t was neither a new style in skirts
nor the measles. 1t was the Mumbo
Jumbo or Americanized Hula Hula
dance of Hawaii that puts the Turkey
Trot, Grizzly Bear, Dallas Dip, Frisco
Flop, St. Louis Todalo, Cubanola Glide,
Walla Walla Wiggle, Apache and Sa-
lone dances so far in the shade that
they couldn't be seen with an X-ray.
Chicago just missed it, because Prince
Kuhio Kalanianaole, delegate to
Congress from Hawaii, was compelled
to leave with his wife for Washington
last night, after short but lively stay
at the Congress Hotel, during which
champagne flowed fast. With tears
in his eyes the prince bemoaned a
fate that severed him from Chicago
before he could introduce into society
the dance that replaces the beads and
tilmy skirt of Salome with a pleasant
smile and feathers.
And just to prove that the Hula
Hula is the concentrated essence of
rhythm, motion, art, science, passion
and delight, the prince embraced
friend and executed the wiggly con-
tortions and steps while his beautiful
but AmazOnan princess approved and
adored
This dance was not naughty" said
the prince, till Americans demanded
something with local color, and now it
resembles the Partisan cancan or hoo

too often given with the artist adorn-
ed in no other apparel than a happy
smile and a girdle of brightly tinted
feathers. But I hear Chicago likes
everything unique and-believe me
this dance is warranted to prevent
superhuous flesh from accommodating

At this point. by way of illustra-
tion, c. w. Ashford, Honoluluized
American and one of the princes
suite, gave a suggestion of the Hula
Hula, whistling Every Little Move

ment.
That's it," laughed his highness,
watching his friend gambol about,
with arms and legs going SO rapidly
that he looked like an intoxicated Oc-
topus. "That beats the Merry Widow,

choose to name. It's only we Hawai-
ians who understand just what every

KALIHI PEOPLE
NOT BEING FIRED

With reference to the statements
to the effect that the board of health
authorities were firing" the occupants
of the Kalihi hospital out of their
rooms, DR. Pratt this morning stated
that when the Kalihi tract was put
under quarantine, the people who
lived were allowed to move to the
hospital building, where they have re.
mained since.
There was no understanding that
the people were to remain there all
the time Some of them have moved
already of their own accord.
AS the hospital may be required
any time in a hurry, it is desired by
the board of health that the people
living in the place try and obtain
houses somewhere else.

INTERNAL REVENUE DEPARTMENT
INVITES ALL LEGITIMATE AID

With reference 10 a statement ap-
pearing in the morning paper, to the
effect that the internal revenue de
partment can accept Nc aid from other
allied departments, either OF the fed.
eral or territorial governments, Col
lector Cottrill this mrning said:
II regret very much that such a
statement should appear in the press.
The internal revenue department not
only can accept, but invites any in
formation from any and all sources
that may lead to the detection of per-
sons who are, or may have been, vio-
lating the United States revenue law.
There are, however, regulations s.
sued by the commissioner of internal
revenue, that state that an internal
revenue officer shall not indisCrimi-
nately, or needlessly, give out informa-
tiOn received by him in the ordinary
performance of official duties. But
there is every reason why it is an ad-
vantage to the revenue officials to be
given any information that may lead
to the detection and prosecution of of,
tenders against the law"

that the statement that appeared IN

ALL CUTTING
OF BANANAS
IS UNLAWFUL

The order of the Board of Health
that all bananas within the limits of
one mile from the harbor must be cut
and that nobody shall be allowed to
grow bananas within that limit is not
worth the paper it is written on, ac-
cording to a preliminary ruling made
by Judge Cooper this afternoon in the
Lucas case.
In other words, the order of the
Board of Health and the Civic SAM.
>tary Committee is null and void and
all the cutting of bananas has been
in violation of the law. The banana
crusade must stop.
Judge Cooper has not yet made his
formal ruling, but he stated to the
attorneys for the Territory this aft
ernoon that they had no case, that
there was no case before him. and
that there was nothing on which they
could appeal to the supreme court.
The judge holds that the new regu-
lation of the board of health regard
ing bananas not only is null and void,
but that in passing it the board has
stultitied itself and has nullified some

also said that information received did

Speaking further og the subject. the
collector said:
The revenue oIhce. during the
course of the investigation of the Maui
winery, had several interviews with
Mr. Blanchard. The appreciation of

told that the information was a mater.
ial aid in the accomplishment of the
results thus far obtained.
"Of course, the principal object in
giving extended attention to the state.
ment in the morning paper is to afford
a full realization of the fact that any
official charged with the execution of
the law is always assisted by the co
operation of the publiC-especially by
the exercise of that spirit that prompts
the public to assist the law"
AS far as the matter of the kappa
kalua Wine Company goes, there have
been no new developments. The re-
ports and all the papers In connection
with the affair have been forwarded to
Washington and, until word is re,

of the important provisions of the old
sanitary law.
1t is possible, according to the
statements made by the Judge, that
the board in some instances might
go ahead and abate a nuisance ana
charge the cost to the owner of the
property, but that is as far as It's

THE declaration of unlawfulness

"The old section 995 of the Revised
Laws is out in the new laws. Section
1000, which might also have been use
full, has also gone out. Section y9f,
which was amended by the new act,

1t all means that the long fight
against official intrusion into private

victory to its credit; that the acts OF

KICK ON WEEDS.
Complaints Being Received from All
Parts of the City.

Officials of the city are receiving
complaints from all districts of the city
on account Of the prevalence of noxi-
Gus weeds and the street commissioners
seem to have failed to get the weeds
cut this year. With the continued
heavy rains the weeds have grown like
mushrooms and on many vacant lots
they are nearly as high as the fences.
The seeds from these weeds are being
blown into adjoining lots and the
owners CT these properties are COM
planning bitterly. 1t is claimed that
there are many places along the streets
where the weeds are fourishing. The
street commissioners have been unusu-
ally busy this year, but they have been
instructed to look after the weeds at
once and it is probable that all cause
for complaints will be removed with

WILL GET BANK SOON
P. M. General Announces
Opening of Postal Savings
Bank Before Jan. |
FOREIGNERS BOOST DEPOSITS

Kenosha is going to have a postal
savings bank by the first day of next
January as Postmaster General Hitch
cock at Washington yesterday gave out
a statement that banks would be open
ed in all of the remaining 1875 first
class Offices in the country between
now and the first of January. The
success of the banks in the larger cities
of the country after less than month
of trial has left no doubt as the adj
visibility of the scheme of putting the
banks in all the first class Offices The
Kenosha office has not worried the de-
partment with demands for the open
ing of bank as the clerks in the
office realize that their work will be
largely increased with the opening of
the bank. There is already a demand
for the bank here and many people
have gone to the postofice and asked
to be allowed to deposit money. No
money mas U6en turned away ana IN
stead of deposit slips the men have
purchased money orders which they
store away and keep the same as saw
ings Bank book.
Wisconsin Offices have been slow in
taking up the postal savings bank idea
and up to the present less than half a
dozen banks have been established in
the state The ones established have
proved decidedly popular,
The bank in Milwaukee will be open
ed on September 1st and it will be a
sort of a district depository for the
banks in this part of the state Keno
sha postal funds have always been
handled through the Milwaukee office
and the bank will simply increase the
amount to be sent to Milwaukee daily
from the local office. The foreigners
in Kenosha are anxiously awaiting the
opening of the postal bank and it is
certain that with the opening of the
institution there will be great empty
ing of stocking purses and that the
deposits in Kenosha will be as large
as those at any first class office in the
state outside of Milwaukee.
