Fire Threatened Waiakea.
HILO, Aug. Last Friday a cou.
pie of houses, occupied by Hawaiians,
near the residence of Senator John
Brown at Waiakea, but on the mauka
side of the road, were almost de-
stroyed by an extensive brush fire,
which apparently started somewheie
near the railroad track leading to the
breakwater For several days pre-
viously smaller brush fires had been
burning in the guava and lauhala
scrub and grass which covers almost
the entire region outside the Waiakea
village, but it was not until Friday
afternoon that a strong wind took
them close to human habitations.
The police were notified by tele-
phone message that the houses were
in danger, and Deputy Sheriff Fetter
started to the scene at once with three
officers. 1t was owing to the efforts of
the police that the fire was finally
checked, for the inmates of the houses
which were threatened by the flames
departed in great haste when danger
began to threaten, and did not even
assist to save their houses. The Of
fcers worked for several hours before
they beat down the fire, and the dep
uty sheriff wrenched his foot during
the heat OF the battle by falling into
a lava crack. The officers tried to rus
lie up the Waiakea firemen, but they
could not be located. They need some
kind of a general alarm signal
1t is only short time since the res
iGence of John Bohnenberg was
threatened by a similar brush fire.
Some of these fires are started by Ha.
waiians who wish to clear the trails
through the waste, and others are
started by mere carelessness.
Wharf Commission to Hilo.
HILO, Aug. Manager J. A. Ken
nedy was in Hilo yesterday, coming
overland from Kona, where he ar
rived in the Mauna Loa. He brought
his own auto and chauffeur and may
take the trip across to Mahukona or
Kawaihae to inspect the landings
along the coast. Manager Kennedy
states that the object of his trip was
to look over the Kona situation, as he
had not visited that part of the island
for some time past Mr., Kennedy also
stated that Hilo might expect visit
from the wharf commission either
reXt week or soon thereafter. The
commissioners had but little time to

THE GREEDY EXPRESS CON-
PANIES.

Every disinterested and instructed
person must have been gratifie to
learn that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has decided to investigate
the operations of the express COM
panies. There such a crying need for
this investigation that many people
have wondered why it should have
been so long delay. The public is,
and for years has been, greatly dis
companies supply. 1t has been forced
t. ray an eXtortionate price for a poor
article, and it has been Systematically
tTeated in way more suggestive
of brigandage than of business. That
is proved conclusively by the inordin-
ate profits which the companies divide
they are so rich that they are afraid
t" show their balance sheets, and feel
constrained to dissimulate their gains
by means of the various devices en-
ploytd to that end by high finance.
Stockholders who want a more liberal
distribution are kept in the dark, and
when thy go into court, as they do
occasionally, they are presently shown
the door.
But the time comes when no further
concealment is possible, when some
thing must be done to relieve the pres
sure OF the full-to-burstiEg treasure
bags, and then we see such a spectacle
as was presented a few months ago
when the Wells Fargo Company, after
having paid s per cent for years on an
artificially inflated capital, suddenly
centdeclared a special dividened of 300
! declared a special dividend of 300
per cent, one-third in stock and two
birds in cash. A large addition was
in this way made to the capitalization
but no one tears that the S-per-cent
dividends win be interrupted, and in
circles which are best informed there
is a somewhat confident expectation
that the accumulation of another sur
plus will proceed at sufficiently rapid
rate to provide the means for an
other 3OO-per-cent distribution before
many more years have passed. Such
profits involve inequitable charges
and yet the express companies are
guilty of practices even more objec,

UNCLE SANS CHOLERA PRECAUTIONS

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The
campaign of the federal authorities to
safeguard the country from the raw
ages of cholera, which has rolled up
frghtful mortalities in Italy, India and
elsewhere abroad, is already producing
results. Today the public health SER
vice was notified, through the State
Department, chat four cases of cholera
have occurred in Marseille, two of
them proving fatal, and that one OF the
cases has been traced to Italy. Mar
settle is VIGOROUSLY slow in officially
admitting such conditions, and 1t is
likely that there are more cases there
than are conceded by the authorities.
The port is one of the leading ones
in Europe, and craft are constantly
putting in there from Italy, where
cholera is epidemic. United States rep
Iesentatives at all other important
points are prepared to notify the
Washington authorities instantly in
case of developments.
Another Case From the MoItke.
From New York word came to the
public health service today that there
was one new case of cholera from the
passengers of the steamer Moltke,
which brought the disease from Italy,
and that there was one new suspect
among those detained from the Mott
ke's steerage passenger list. All these
cases are being handled by concerted
efforts of the federal and local au-
thorities, and spread of the disease
from them being guarded against. OF
the Moltke cases, nine remain under
treatment and five of them are al
ready convalescent.

telegraphed Surgeon General Wymann
today that the Italian steamship San

Official advices cabled here from
Naples announce 374 cholera cases in
Italy outside of Naples in
Guiding 116 deaths, between June
and July 6, and ZIG cases, including
siXty-eight deaths, in Naples during
that period. Palermo has had 2S2
cases and seventy-five deaths, and the
rest of Sicily twenty-seven cases and
eleven deaths.
The reports show cholera also is
prevalent in Colombo, Ceylon; Laur-
ium, Greece; Calcutta and Moulmine,
India; Saigon, Indo-China; Penang
and Singapore, Straits Settlements;

NEW YORK, July 2O.-Another shin
from the cholera country anchored in
quarantine today and added % the
company of several hundred immi-
grants who must undergo individual
archaeological examination before they
are permitted on the mainland. The
newcomer was the steamer Principe di
Piemonte, from Genoa and Naples, cit
les which have furnished most of the
cholera cases thus far imported. Under
the state and federal rules she will
be detained for ten days and the
period may he iouger if 1t is found
that mr.ry of her crew Or passengers
have the disease.
Owing to the quarantine regulations
recently enforced by the Italian gov.
eminent on emigrants before they sail
me health authorities here nope future
arrivals from Mediterranean ports will
give them less trouble than the steam
els Moltke and the Perugia whose
passengers are still in quarantine.
Satisfactory conditions were report
ed today at both the Swinburne Island
Hospital, where the actual cases of
cholera are treated, and at Hoffman
Island, where the health officers are
watching some 600 immigrants, whose
freedom from the disease is still I'M
proved, There have been no more
deaths since the seventh patient died
yesterday at the Swinburnie Island
Hospital.
No Symptoms of Cholera.
The surgeon of the Principe di Pie
mente reported all well on board, ex-
cepting two cases of measles and six
of whooping-cough. He said he had
found no symptoms of cholera during
the passage. Despite this reassuring
report, however, all aboard will have
to undergo examination by the health
officers of the port.

sengers and SIC in the steerage, with a
crew of 1913.

An AIJ-SOJTH CONFERENCE.

An All-South Conference will be held III
Memphis Tenn. October 9th The gather
ing will be held under the auspices Of the
Southern Commercial Congress, with CONNER
cial associations of Atlanta. Memphis. New
Orleans and Houston cooperating. All who
are interested in the growth and development
Of the South are invited to attend,
There is a definite purpose in this meeting,
in harmony with the ends towards which the
Southern Commercial Congress is working
and which has occasioned comment IN these
columns several times. 1t is in general the
promotion of tourist travel to and through
the South. More specifically this meeting will
consider methods of giving national publicity
TO the liberal stop-over privileges accorded by
Southern railroads and Of deyising expedient,
for diverting the Pacific Coast travel towards
the South.
The promoters of this conference feel that
the best advertising is by word of mouth, They
believe that the advertising that merely sets
forth the advantages of a section iii print is
frequently discounted by those who read it. 1t
is their purpose therefore to promote travel
in and through the South that tourists and
homeseekers may see for themselves the re-
sources of the communities they visit They
are confident that many will be sufficiently
impressed to pursue further investigation and
will return to their homes TO tell and. in tell
ing, to advertise a.. -a.ss..s
The conception seems an excellent one We
are as confident as they that If homeseekers once
saw the opportunities of the South. once en-
ioyed it's genial climate and its warm hearted
hospitality, many who came to investigate
would return TO dwell and all who came to
visit would return to speak the praise of
Southland.
Ii is earnestly hoped that a large attendance
may wait upon the deliberations of this con-
ference and that much of real value may re-
suit
