Many Kicks
Registered

Nearly half a hundred complaints
were made at the mosquito campaign
headquarters yesterday by citizens
against the actions of the working
squads. Most of them were about one
man, the lieutenant of apana number
six, station at Kamehameha schools.
This officer had slaughtered lime and
manage as we'll as banana trees, or
dered ferns unpotted and thrown out,
and told the natives to tear out their
Hawaiian plants and put in American
roses instead Or. Currie admitted
that the man had exceeded his in
structions from being over jealous.
Senator Judd a member of the com
mitteee, told of banana patch near
Fort Shafter, an acre in size, which
would have to be destroyed under
the rule of $50 feet from a dwelling
as the Chinese running it had his
house in the middle of the lot.
An hour and half was spent by
the committee in discussing the pro
tests. Chairman w. +. Dillingham;
summed up the case in conclusion By
saying that kicks were what he had
been awaiting, that it would be impos-
sible to conduct such a campaign
without arousiug opposition, but per.
sonally he did not care what anyone
in the community chose to say to him
during the next three months, or the
next three years for that matter. They
had been given something to do and
they had started. Dr. Currie had been
selected as the best equipped man in
the city to handle the situation. lie
was doing splendidly and when DR.
Blue arrived they would still have d
man upon whom reliance could be
placed. If there was any member Of
the committee not prepared and will
ing to stand the abuse or criticism
or whatever else came of their labor5
he ought to resign now.
DIR. Currie yesterday tore up Letters
introducing men to hire as laborers
which were received through c. Char
lock, chief sanitary inspector of tn,
board of health. He told the bearers
E that no letters were necessary. TIVE
hundred men were to be employee
next morning and anyone wanting
job could get into line. In New Or

To Feed the
Immigrants

At a meeting Of the Board of Immi-
grafton held yesterday afternoon, the
bids for supplying meals to the immi.
grants who are to arrive in the Will
lesden were opened The tenders ran
from forty-fye cents to eighty cents
day and S. Ogata, who was the low
est bidder, secured the contract
When the Oteric was here, Ogata
had the contract to feed the new inn
migrants. He supplied some five thou.
sand meals at that time, and the food
was thought to be very satisfactory.
1t is expected that the Willesden
people will nave between six and
seven thousand meals given them at
the Immigrant Station.
The establishment of a permanent
station will help a lot in the housing
and feeding of the immigrants. 1t is
thought that at least one thousand
dollars will be saved through the new
arrangement. There were all sorts OF
incidental expenses in the past, when
tables, chairs and other articles hat
to be rented Now that is avoided
and the meals alone will have to be
paid for

But on one oc- casion when he had been accommo dated with a loan of S2.50. which he promised to return in few days. he lllowed two or. three weeks to pass without making any mention of his in debtedness and, in fact, seemed to avoid his creditor. But one morning the colonel unexpectedly encountered Jim at the postotice.
