1t was Ladies' Day. at the police
court this morning, for no less than
thirty-four women figured on the col

rested as the result of a police raid
on the notorious Iwilei district. There
were twenty Japanese, seven Porto

The arrests were made in conse-
quence of a report from the COM
mandant at Fort Shafter, relating to
cases of sickness among the soldiers
which had been traced to the Iwilei
district. The police are at loss to
know how to deal with the question

CHINESE STILL
CORNER TARO

Today the Kalihi poi factory, AL
bert Waterhouse, manager, is supply
ing all poi called for at the factory.
The Chinese taro growers, howev-
er, still refuse to deliver their taro
there for manufacture into poi.
1--WE shall run short" says Mr.. Wat
erhouse, unless the Chinese come
through. They are holding out and
we are still pulling our own taro,
which win not last long at the rate
the poi is being consumed"
The Chinese refuse to deliver taro
to the Kalihi factory, which is being
operated under board of health regu-
Iations, presumably for the reason
that the health authorities have clos
ed the 'Chinees poi shops on account
of cholera.

salaries About $4,000 has been raised
