PORTO RICAN FAMILY
SMALLPOX VICTIMS
FATHER AND FOUR CHILDREN IN
KALIHI DETENTION CAMP;
MILD CASES.

Five cases of smallpox are under
surveillance by both the territorial and
federal officials, four cases being of
the mild varioloid form and one being
rather the more dangerous type. The
cases are quarantined at the Kaiihi
camp.
By some oversight the territorial
board of health failed to notify Doctor
Ramus, head of the United States
quarantine service, of the existence of
the cases, but ON learning of the cases
yesterday Doctor Ramus at once began
an investigation. He found that the
malady had visited Porto Rican fam
lily, which is composed of a father lJLd
mother and four children.
Two months or more ago the family
was at Aiea and on returning to town
and taking up their residence on River
street one of the children developed
rash. Later another child was taken
i'll, finally third and then the fourth.
About this time the father was taken
to the Kalihi detention camp on account
of having been a cholera contact. He
remained in this camp thirteen days.
On the tenth-day- rash broke out upon
his person. He was at the camp from
April 20 to May 8, when he was dis.
charged as being free. On leaving the
place the rash became more pronounced
and he was later segregated as small
pox patient.
The doctors in their investigations
learned that all the children had the
! disease and that from one to another
1t went until the germs lodged in the
father, the period of incubation being
fourteen days. In him it developed in
about thirteen days. The father WIS

ed, but the mother was only recently
yaeeinated and she alone OF all the
family escaped tho disease.
The father, according. to Doctor
Ramus, is a typical ease of smallpox,

yesterday afternoon experimenting

TREASURER G0NKLlNG may RESIGN TO TAKE
POSITION AS COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS

There is big fight on for the posi-
tion of United States collector of GUS
toms. The two principal candidates are
the incumbent, Edward R. Stackable,
and D. L. Conkling, the territorial treas.
urer.
Collector Stackable's term expires In
June, and he is DESTROYS of continuing
in the position. Treasurer ConkIing is
also an aspirant, and he thinks that his
chances of obtaining it are very favor
able. When seen yesterday afternoon
he said:
81 have not handed in my resigna-
ton as treasurer. l am, however, CON
sidering the proposition of making a
change which l consider will be for nv
benefit. If I can make my arrange
ments I win resign.''
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1911-05-12

Asked if it was true that he was
seeking the Office of collector of Gus.
toms, Mr.. Conkling said:
T" l am an aspirant for that Office.
have received good assurances that
my chances are good. The position is
under the treasury department at Wash
ington and is very fine one.
''This post as territorial treasurer,
which hold at present, is one of great
responsibility, but it is not as active
a position as I would like to have.
Things are generally routine, and 1 feel
that man in a position of this sort
may get into a rut, and you do not do
yourself the amount of good that you
might"
The Office of collector of customs
here is very desirable one. It paws
larger salary than even the Governor
gets.

(From Thursday IS Advertiser.

NHIOm AHurSuay S ADVERTISER.
More good roads for the Territory
built on the latest and best methods,
is the slogan of the public works de-
partment.
While signing documents at the rate
of sixty minute, more or less, Super
intendent of Public Works Marston
Campbell gave out interviews to the
press yesterday concerning his visit to
Maui, from where he returned yester-
day morning. The most important
business accomplished was the organic.
ing of the Maui Road Commission, of
which he is chairman. He also an
nounced that when he goes to the Coast
in few days-which he hopes to do
unless public business prevents-he
will look into the subject of the good
roads in California and obtain useful
hints which doubtless will be of prac-
teal value to the department here. AS
to the statement published by an after.
noon paper to the effect that the $780,
600 Kula pipe line is useless" the
superintendent dismissed the matter as
being palpably absurd.
"The Maui Road Commission is or.
ganized and at work." said he. 81
expect that in the next ten or fifteen
days bids will be called for certain
work on the belt road The people of
Maui were forehanded in having the
plans and specifications practically
ready, so that we were able to 90

ing every day and the petitions which
are out requesting congress to place
the new federal building on some ap.
propriate site near the capitol are
being signed by the most prominent
citizens in Honolulu.
Nearly three thousand names have
already been placed on these petitions
and more are going on every day. The
headquarters for this work of crystaliz-
ing public opinion in writing is in the
Offices of Attorney A. l.. @. Atkinson,
on the third floor of the Judd building,
and all who have the interests of the
city at heart and have not yet seen

step into the headquarters and sign one.
Changed Conditions.
With clearer understanding of the
meaning of the civic center plans the
people in this city are coming forward
in the most enthusiastic manner to
back up the effort to have the improve
ment carried out 1t is probable that
the Irwin site, almost opposite the CAPT,
toll on King street, and Eva of the
judiciary building, will be the place
where the fine federal building win be
erected.
The citizens are realizing that with
the changed conditions appertaining to
the Mahuka site and the acquisition Of
the office buildings on Fort street, be-
tween King and Merchant streets, the
question of the place for the federal
building is practically reopened and
that it is dependent upon just what the
people of this beautiful city want that,
in large measure, will govern the au-
thorities at Washington in their final
choice of site.
Well Known Names.

JUAREZ, May 11.-Order has been

Desperate Fighting.
Ell PASO, May 10. = After seventy
two hours fighting, the Mexican rebel
forces today took possession of the town
of Juarez, gaining one of the most sig
nifcant victories of the entire revolu-
ton.
General Navarro, head Of the federal
troops, was forced to surrender after
many of his men had been killed ana
the strongholds of the city were in the
hands Of TIC enemy, commanded by

important Question for

to Decide.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Now that
the Mexican insurrectos have captured
Jlarez and hold an important customs
port the question Of recognition Of
General Francisco Madero and his par
tisans as belligerents is one of inn
portanee.
1t is not believed, among those best
posted here, that the belligerency of
the revolutionists will be recognized by
the government, one reason being that
it will relieve the Diaz government of
all responsibility for pecuniary damages
to American citizens for destruction of
property.
May Ask Recognition.
1t is probable that the agent for
General Madero here win make the APP
plication for recognition, based upon
the fact that the revolutionists, beside
holding Juarez also hold Aqua Prieta
and possibly Tia Juana, all three towns
being points for the collection of Gus
toms.
1t was especially for this purpose of
forcing recognition as belligerents that
General Madero is said to have con.
centrated his efforts to capture border
towns, thus bringing him directly into
contact with the United States govern
ment.

MONEY Is Needed.

81 am told that the income from
certain forests here in Hawaii is
$4,000 a year. If 10 per cent of that
amount were used for the preservation
of forest areas it would mean consid-
cradle in a few years,
81 believe that the algaroba should
be cultivated extensively as firewood on
low land as well as on the slopes, and
this would yield good income.
"This is only frewood, but if as fire.
wood it is worth twelve or fifteen dol
lars cord, it is better to raise it than
to raise some other more expensive
wood to sell for another purpose which
in the aggregate does not bring in SO
much money.
"Raise what there is the most profit
in, whether irewood or cabinet woods, "
he concluded.
Mr. Curran has been here about one
month, performing his investigation,
and plans to return to the Philippines
on the transport this week. Before he
departs he will hand in to Governor
Frear a comprehensive report on his
conclusions and the remedies which
should be applied to sick forests here.
