Tarred the Deck.

The method of cleaning the deck was
a smothering one. At no time, accord
ing to the government inquisitors, were
the decks washed, but tar was spread
over the filth and dirt and this in tlrn
strewn with sawdust. The second doe
tor of the ship is said to have com
planned frequently to his chief over the
stencil which arose from this method,
which was said to have been simply
sickening.
The captain and officers were given
authority by law to muster the passen-
gers and their mattresses on the upper
deck and are, indeed, required to do SO.
They claim that the passengers refused
to answer the calls, but the fact re-
mains that from the time the vessel
left until she arrived at Honolulu
ninety.five per cent. of the mattresses
were never aired.

Insanitary.

AS to the sanitary arrangements,
these appeared to be equally bad if not
worse. There were accommodations on
the upper deck, but there were none on
the deck below where some passengers
were kept. Anyone desiring to use the
lavatory had to walk up two companion
ways if they "lived" on the lower
deck and one if they were quartered on
the deck above. Those too sick or
otherwise unable to make the climb
were seriously inconvenienced, as there
were no substitutes for the lacking ac-
eommodations except those made by the
passengers for themselves, with the re-
suit that the decks, according to the
allegations, became filthy. No buckets
were provided and the maternity hos
pltal ward is also said to have lacked
The necessary requirements to the same
degree.

Hospital Lack.

The vessel, claims the government,
violated the law as to hospital space
insofar that the hospital space required
by law was not furnished The "ship''
is said to admit the allegation. The
vessel also admittedly violated the pro-
visions of the law relating to her mani
fest, it having been lacking in several
features.
These were probably the lesser viola
tions, although they were sufficient in
themselves to get the ship into trouble,
one of the most serious points advanced
against her being the lack of decent
cleanliness.
While the officers of the vessel assert
that this lack of cleanliness was the
fault of the immigrants, the United
States will claim that no means of
being clean were afforded them. Twen-
ty days before the ship arrived, it
seems, a bath was fixed up and not
before then. This bath consisted of
nothing except faucet where one of
the immigrants, could if he or she
chose, get under it and utilize it in
full sight of everyone. There were wash
basins in the public wash rooms but
it was also impossible to use these for
bathing purpose outside of the use for
which they were intended

and wholesome and the inquirers can
find no fault with it. But, although
the government is in every way sat
isfed on this point, the immigrants
were not and say they didn' t like it.
A lack of garlic and a general absence
of the other relishes demanded by the
Latin people, was probably the reason.
The government, however, claims that
the facilities for cooking were not up
to the requirements. There is also
some conflict about condensed milk for
the infants

There appears to be strange ignor-
ance on the part of every one concern.
ed as to how many people there were
ON the ship. The federal immigration
authorities, according to their papers,
state that they suppose there are 1914
souls ON board. Collector of the Port
Staekable, from his official papers, un.
officially suppOses that there are l342,
while some one else has received word
that there are 1549 The territorial
people seem to have no number at all.
1t is claimed that there were 456
infants under the age of eight years
ON the vessel but neither this figure
nor the Others have been verified by the
immigration officials as these do not
step In until the quarantine is raised.

Ventilation.

The law requires that these things
should have been aired and also re-
quires a specific standard of ventila-
ton, the ventilation of the Orteric, ae-
cording to the charges, being defective,
the regulations not being complied
with. The ventilation was particularly
not sufficient when it became necessary
to batten down the matches, and where
this necessity arose it appears that the
percentage of infant mortality invari-
ably increased. There was an electric
plant on board, but there seem to be no
electric fans.

CHRISTLEY ESTATE

NJ. T. Simonton has made a masters
report on The first annual account of
Mrs. Lizzie De Cew, guardian of Lew
ellyn Christley, a minor, the account
covering a period up to and including
April 80, 1911. The guardian charges
herself with $9OO5 and asks to be al
lowed $S263.65. No commissions are
charged by the guardian, but an item
of S15O.3O appears as commissions
paid to agents for collecting $3OO5 in
rents at five per cent, which is S90.OJ
less than the guardians commission
would amount to. The master says
that, if the guardian is to charge her
commissions, the sum of $15O.3C
should be deducted and disallowed
He also recommended that the guard
ian be ordered to file vouchers Of ex
Ienditures on principal account. These
amount to $584S,79. The estate con
sists of property bounded by Fort
Emma, School and Vineyard streets
and $741.35 in the hands of the guard

There is a serious impasse in the
license question which has come 90
a head through the fact that tomor.
row is the day when county licenses
are issued for the next year.
The last legislature passed a law
whereby a license may not be issued
unless a certificate has been given
the applicant by the board of health
that his premises are in a sanitary
/ condition.
Practically every license in the
Territory is affected by this law ana
a mass of work has devolved on the
board of heath in the way of eXamin-
ing premises and reporting therein
and acting on the reports.
The pressure of work has of late
been so great that only about twenty.
five per cent of the certificates need
ed in order to procure license are
in shape for granting. The work is
call balled up" and the end is not
nearly in sight.
Some of the applicants for licenses
complied with the instructions of the
board of health TO put their places III
shape, but many others, either re
fused to do so or are behind hand If
doing so.
This is particularly the case with
the fish market stall holders who
though ordered to screen their stalls
remove vegetables and other eatables
from the floor and attend to other
sanitary matters, have not yet taken
a step in the matter.
Though they have been given
ample time, they complain they hav-
emit had time enough, and threaten
to close up the market tomorrow Z
their licenses are not issued. Satur-
day is the great shopping day of the
week, and were the market men to
do as they have threatened, much
inconvenience to the public would
ensue.

had every intention of doing So
DR.. Pratt said that he wouldn't care
to sign the necessary certificate that

condition if they were not, as when
an applicant once got his certificate
he could laugh at the board for
whole year.
He said that during the last two

applicants for renewal of licenses
little time in which to get their

issuance of the license.
Attorney General Lindsay said that
the board should refuse to issue GER

either arrest them for doing business
without a license or let them man

1t was finally decided to let the
bona fide applicants go on with their

issue their certificates, and those woo
have set the orders of the board at
defiance will in all probability De

all joining in the familiar and appro-
