FEW BUILDINGS
FOR The WEEK

Despite the fact that the first half
Of the month Of November has proved
to be n banner month IN the value of
new buildings under construction in
Honolulu, the past week has developed
but few applications for permits mt the
office of Building and Plumbing In

Two large residences are soon cx-

cording to the list of permits issued,
Among applications for building per-

HILO, July 1.-THE Tribune says:
A plan is now being worked on which,
if successful, may have far reaching
influence in the development OF tue
city, namely to get the government 10
secure the release of part of the lands
held at present under the Waiakca
Mill Company lease. The idea is to
have thrown open to home builders
about a thousand acres of the large
mart of the tract which is now lying
waste, being unsuited for the culttva-
tiun of cane
Petitions have been drafted, asking
the government to try to secure re-
lease of these lands, principally those
around the race track and Makaoku,
and to throw them open to bona flee
home builders in lots of from three
quarters of an acre TO an acre in area.
These petitions, which have been
drafted in both the Hawaiian and the
English languages, are now being cir
culated and are securing a large num-
Der of signatures.
II would be hard for the admins
tration to devise an act which would
meet with so much popular approval,
as to open a large tract of land for
homes, as the lack of lands on which
the poor man could build has held
the town back more than any other
condition.
The full text of the petition is as
follows:
Petition for the Acquiring of a Por-
ton of Waiakea Lands at Hilo,
Hawaii.
To the Honorable Walter F. Frear,
Governor of the Territory.
Sir:-The undersigned, hereinafter
referred to as your petitioners, re-
spectfully represent that they are cit

day received kilograms from the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce pro-
testing against the passage of the
bill recently introduced in the house
by Delegate Kalanianaole of Hawaii
to amend the laws concerning passen-

Hawaii and other ports of the United
States.
The bill provides that for a period
of six years from the passage of the

KoIoa Labor Restless.

Garden Island: For some time we
have been informed of the restless
ness amongst laborers at Koloa. m
talking with a number of reliable
leaders, amongst them. they have
stated plainly that they could do bet
ter elsewhere. To prove this, they
have shown us letters from their
friends who have moved to Honolulu
and Hilo, where ready employment
has been found on the new wharves
and railroad construction work ct
much better wages than they now re-
ceive.
Another fact which is leading many
away are the inducements being held
out by the Oahu plantations, who di-
rectly or indirectly are Offering bet
ter living quarters and cheaper store
rates as an inducement.
A large number of men who have
left here, now at work on the Oahu
plantations, are writing their friends
that plantation officials will employ
all corners.
A rumor which we believe to be
authentic-a number of parties all
stating the same facts that a man
who represents himself as a book
agent from the Coast, was no less
than an individual whose aim was TO
make a study of the labor market
here On visiting a camp he would
carefully canvass it., finding out how
many laborers there were of all ma
tionalities Except the Asiatics), who
would like to have a free trip to the
Coast-Florida being the Eureka
promised-an eight-hour day on small
farms at a dollar per diem, with lib
eral allowance for overtime, chance
to buy a small farm of your own, etc d,
being the inducement held out.
This would-be recruiter stated that
he could do nothing very definite IN
til he had reported on the situation
to his employers. It was UNDERSTOOD
that if enough names could be Sc
cured, special messengers would pass
the word along by means of the I'M
derground railway, to all immigrants
to Florida to get a special steamer at
Port Allen on either the 18th, 10th Or

and of the Territory of Hawaii and
possess all the qualifications of per-
sons entitled to acquire public lands
of the Territory of Hawaii as those
qualifications are set forth in the Or
ganic Act and the law of the Territory
of Hawaii
Your petitioners respectfully repre-
sent that such a large proportion of
the lands for house lots within and
adjacent to the limits of the city of
Hilo is held by corporations, the
Bishop Estate and other organiza-
tions who refuse to sell or maintain
such high prices therefor, that citi-
zens of limited means are unable to
obtain land for the purpose of build
ing homes. All of that land consist
ing of the Ahupuaa of Waiakea, adj
jacent to the lots of Makaoku and
back of Hoolulu Park is owned by the
government and is leased to the Wal
akea Mill Company under a lease
which will expire within the next six
years. No considerable portion of it
is fit for growing cane and can I'M
doubtedly be obtained by the Terri
tory at a small expenditure. If the
area of 1000 acres of this land could
be obtained by the Territory and
put up for occupation and sale
it would enable a large number of
citizens to obtain house lots.
Your petitioners therefore request
that the Territory take such steps
as will result in the extinguishment of
the lease of the Waiakea Mill Com
pany to 1000 acres of the land of Wal
akea adjacent to the land of Maka-
oku and Hoolulu Park and when ac-
quired to divide the same into house
lots of areas of three-fourths to one
acre each and offer these for sale to
bona fide residents for building lots.

DYNAMITERS' DEFENSE FUND;
A NATIONAL COLLECTION SCHEME

INDIANAPOLIS, June 3O.-The CON
ference of international labor leaders
in this city will ask every member of
labor union having locals in this
country to contribute % cents To the
Mcnamara fund" The sum TINS
raised is expected to total $500 900.
This fund is to be used in the defense
.of John J. Mcnamara and James w.
Mcnamara at Los Angeles: in the de-
tense Of John J. Mcnamara. should
he be compelled to face trial In In.
dlapanolis on indictments returned
against him by the Marion county
grand jury; for the prosecution OF the
kidnapping case against w. J. Burns;
to press the indictments said to have
been returned here against James
Hosick Of Los Angeles. and for the
purpose of carrying on any other legal
proceeding that may arise from the
Mcnamara affair.
The Mcnamara legal defense
stamp also is to be a feature II the
campaign for money. The stamps,
which will sell for one cent each, will
serve a double purpose, the union men
say, of swelling the defense fund
and also by keeping constantly in the
public eye the case of the men who
are imprisoned at Los Angeles.

FOR A MOSQUITOES MANILA

Manila Observation-Disclosures: One of
the most remarkable changes being
wrought in the Philippines under Anne
rican occupation is noticeable in the
comforts of living. The improvement
in the general sanitary conditions
which affect the people in all parts Of
the islands, the increase in means o.
transportation which makes it pos
sible to get comforts and conyenlences
of life with greater facility in the re
moter parts of the islands, are among
the features that make for improve
ment.
One of the chief sources of com
paint in the cerly days OF American
occupation among Americans was the
prevalence of mosquitoes, plr'icGlarly
in Manila. For long time these pests
were endured as an evil that was in
durable, but within the last few years,
thanks to the Investigations and dis
Coveries made by Doctor Banks OF the
bureau of science, the hope has been
entertained that Manila might be freed
from mosquitoes. 1t is only within
the last year that an organized effort
headed by Doctor Banks has been
made to extirpate the pest.
There is more or less difference of
opinion so far as to the success of the
effort but the preponderance of evil
dence seems to be that the mosquitoes
have materially decreased in those
sections of the city in which the coal

cess as in others owing to a number
of conditions which may or may not be
known. The probability is that in most
of these instances the failure is not
due so much to the means employed
as to the thoroughness with which they
have been applied
In the first place Manila offered
about as many difficulties to a crusade
against mosquitoes as it is possible to
imagine anywhere. Enough, however,
has been accomplished to vindicate
the effort and to demonstrate that the
means employed are adequate where
there is the proper cooperation on the
part of the residents and where the
necessary funds for the crusade are
Cbtainable.
For our part we have long believed
that it was possible to rid Manila of
it's plague of mosquitoes, We have
known of the successful crusade that
was carried on a number of years ago
in Hawaii. However there seems to
have been a more general disposition

Babies Suffer Most.

The most pitiful feature of the heat
wave was the suffering of the citys
defenseless babies. In two days of the
last visitation thirty-four babies
either were overcome or died becaus 2
of the inability of their parents TO
properly feed them. This suffering
was most pronounced in the congested
tenement districts, where a poor quail
ity of milk was delivered, or where
little ice and fewer ice boxes made it
possible for mothers to prevent the
milk from souring when delivered in
good condition.
From Pittsburg as far west as West
Kansas and as far south as Kentucky
and Tennessee scarcely a center but

all heat records for from ten to TWEEN

was little, if any, relief in sight.
Heat ExPodes Sidewalk.
Rockford, ILL.,, reported a tempera-
ture of 10S by the unofficial thermome-
tiers. The cement sidewalk in that
town grew so hot according to vera
cious correspondents, that it exploded.
In Dayton, o., there was such demand
for ice that horses attached to ice
wagons fell in the streets exhausted
from the extra effort
Indianapolis sweltered in a tempera-
ture of 1872 at noon. Louisville dis
patches say that that city and the
whole of the Ohio and Central Missis-
sippi Valley tried to endure tempera-
lures of 100 and up.
Kansas City passed through the hot
test night and day since the govern
ment established its station there
twenty-three years ago. Women and
children slept by scores in the streets,
their heads pillowed on the curb
stones. Others made their beds on
lawns, roofs and porches.

Terrific Heat Blast,

CHICAGO, July 3.-Deaths, suicides,
insanity and deeds of violence today
followed in the wake of one of the
most terrific heat blasts experienced
in a generation.
Chicago, in the very center of an
area literally scorched by the suns
torrid rays, was subjected to suffer
ing such as no possible degree of cold
could have brought about.
At night the list of dead who were
adults had totaled fourteen, while
twenty-eight babies had been reported
dead as a direct result of the intoler-
able heat.
The prostrations reported were fif-
ty-siX, although it is believed that
probably twice that number of per-
sons were overcome, but were cared
for by neighbors or persons in the
street who did not call police ambu-
lances.
llluhbllldl TldUhS SlOoChs
In the great industrial plants in
South Chicago and Gary, business was
practically at a standstill, while many
of the mills of Pittsburg and other
steel localities were closed because Of
the fear of increased fatalities.
All day the mercury lowered about
the dreaded 100 mark The thermome-
ter in the local weather bureau regis
tered a maximum temperature of 99.5
degrees-the highest reading for July
Sd since the opening of the bureau
here in 1871.
But failure to reach 100 degrees did
not mean that Chicago failed to feel
the depressing effects of 1OO-degree
weather. In the streets the thermome-
ters showed two, three and in some
instances five degrees higher than the
overhead recorder of temperature,
From New York nearly as far west
as the Rocky Mountains the same
story of terrific heat was told in the
dispatches in the evening, 1t is i'm
possible even to estimate the total Of
deaths due to heat throughout the
district affected.
In New York the temperature of SO
degrees cost ten lives Nine deaths
were reported in Pittsburg, two in To
