president of the board of health calls
for a man like Sam Johnson.
JAMES ROCKS-The new plague
of mosquitoes at Kaimuki comes from
the swamps and pools up Palolo val

H. T. MILLSSI expected the res
ignation of Mott-Smith as President Of
the Board of Health from statements
he made to me some days ago, con
corning the amount of work and worry
the job entailed.
L. TENNEY PECK-A gentleman
told me this morning that he saw four
city laborers at 8 o'clock who had
been ordered to report at daylight,
sitting on a tool box waiting for a
luna to come along and tell them
what to do. ).
GEORGE COOPER (of Hana)-Who.
ever got away with the $4,000 from
the Kipahulu office, knew their ground
pretty well and just when to open the
safe. More than that the money was
not taken far for about half of it was

touch with what is being done every
day that there would be no chance Of

CHARLES F. CHILLINGWORTH-
l studied jiu jitsu for a couple of years
and found there was nothing to learn
that any rough and tumble scrapper
doesn't know Once they put me up
against an expert, who came at me
with mysterious motions, I stood 1t
for a while and then let out my left
and right and he didn't come to for
while. The spectators said l was
rough and brutal, but I was badly
scared myself and didn't propose to
let him get hold of me.
b. Won DAMM-Speaking of that
incident in Manila Bay where the Ger
man Admiral is said to have interfered
with Admiral Dewey, it is not gener-
ally known that when the trouble oc-
Cured Germany had completed ar
rangements with Spain to buy the
Philippines and that the price had
been fixed. 1t irritated the Admiral
when he saw the Americans taking
possession; but if he had been a
diplomat no feeling would have en-
sued Under the original agreement
