1t was a practice among the an
clients to prescribe eating the livers of
animals for patients whose livers were
diseased. and eating the lungs of ami
mails for patients who were consump-
tives. Modern medical men have been
disposed to regard the practice as
fantastic, but at the medical congress
which came to a close recently in
Paris a Roumanian doctor said the
practice was rational. The principle
underlying it, he argued, is that each
organ contains special chemical COM
pound. He went on to declare that
this compound extracted and injected
into living organism goes straight
to tn repair of the corresponding or
gan, strengthening and reinforcing it

The Indictment brought against the
cat by the United States biological sur
vey may strike many persons as rath-
er too sweeping. According to these
experts the cat is neither harmless
nor necessary, but a nuisance and
danger, says the Providence Journal
1t Destroys the songbirds, and lets the
rats and mice alone. 1t is a carrier
of disease, since even when it has
comfortable home it will go abroad
to mingle with the pariahs of its kind
1t cares nothing for its owner and
Is ungrateful for the attention 1t
receives. All this is, in a sense,
twice told tale, familiar in the mouths
of the cats enemies. But when the
government tells it the attention of
the most skeptical must be arrested.
There is nothing the various depart
ments and bureaus at Washington do
not know. Yet the cat will retain
some friends in spite of this scath-
ing accusation. 1t is perfectly true,
of course, that the cat is the great
est foe the birds have. 1t is also true
that the pampered domestic pet does
not much concern itself with vermin.
1t is also true that disease may easily
be transmitted by the cats fur. But
the determination of the cat seems to
me rather heavy penalty to impose
for its sins against society There is
reason to believe that man is in part
responsible for these.

ARMY CONTRACTS
MUST Be REMADE
Shortage of Funds Now Hits the
Civilian Employees Hard
Pay for Officers.
CFrom Sundays Advertiser

After today contracts made by the
arranged, and all civilian employees
who can be dispensed with are to be
discharged or given leave of absence.
The quartermaster' s department is
hard hit by the cabled order from
Washington to General Macomb yes
terday, for clerks, teamsters and en-
ployes generally who are not enlisted
men, will suffer. Even the men who
;, drive the carriages of the staff officers
will be laid off, and the officers, unless
they hire the men at their own ex-
pense will have to drive the teams per-
sonally.
Three long cablegrams were received
yesterday morning, one of which
flashed to every post in few minutes.
This was an order to Captain Cooke,
the paymaster, notifying him that
enough money had been placed to his
credit to pay the officers of this de-
partment for the month of June,
This was pleasing news every
where and the strain of the last few
days was removed and many corrugat-
ed brows were smoothed out. So much
for the officers. No pay will reach the
enlisted men.
Immediately afterwards another
cable was received which transferred
the corrugated brows to the civilian
employees Major Cheatham will be
under the necessity of making his
slashes at once. The classified civilian
employees are to be replaced wherever
possible by enlisted men, The civilians
retained are to work under a special
contract, a third cable received at two
clock, indicating just how these con-
tracts shall be drawn up. The work
at Schofeld will not be interfered with
in any way, as this work is by contract
under specific appropriations, not af.
fected by the army bill.
Farriers, wagoners, janitors and
clerical force of the quartermaster' Is
department are affected in Wholesale
manner by the new orders.
None of the agreements under spe'
cial contracts is effective until funds
are appropriated. The employees sep
arated from the quartermaster' de,
partment are to be furloughed to re-
tain their status with the department
but will receive no pay.
"No quartermaster employees will be
retained after June 80, 1912, in the
absence of appropriations, whose EN-
ployment is not reasonable incident to
tho execution of this order, nor where
it may be practicable to replace EN-
ployes by enlisted men," is the way
the order reads.

PROP GUN STILLS
RIOT AND SAVES
LIFE OF A WOMAN
(From Sunday 8 Advertiser

A "prop' gun, loaded with three
harmless blank cartridges was the
means used by Juggler Baldwin of
Baldwin and Emerson, comedy pair
now playing at Ye Liberty, to save a
woman from serious, if not fatal, inju-
RES last night when he held up her as
sailant at the point Of it. The reversal
from comedy to actual drama occurred
just as Baldwin was going in to dress
for his act and as a result James l..
Terry is in Jail and "Hattie," Ha-
waiian girl is in the hospital, where she
will probably recover.
Baldwin was entering the Liberty
last night when boy ran up to the
stage entrance and said that woman
was getting choked to death in the tene'
ment near by. The people about listen

"Well, I'M going to get my gun
anyway" said Baldwin, and ran back
to his dressing room, secured the harm

shoot a plate "together," tore off the
big funnel at the end and then climbed
over the fence into the tenement. Mrs
Furata, wife of the owner of the tene

but the racket in the room upstairs was
sufficient guide.

told that everything was call right

PUNCHBOWL TREES
SAVED FROM AXE
Civic Federation's Quick Move
Raises Money Enough 10
Buy of Contractor.
tl'rom sundey's Advertisorl

The remnants of the grove of alga-
robas ON tho slopes of Punchbowl have
been saved, and the Japanese wood.
choppers have been bought Off for slS5,
which was paid over to them yesterday
by the Civic Federation. The devasta-
ton of the forest was well under way
before the public was aware of the
Kapiolani Estates disposition of its
right to the wood. The Civic Fedora
ton, largely through the efforts of j.
NJ. McChesney, has prevented the en-
tire stripping of the crater's trees. The
sum of $l62.50 subscribed by number
of people was not large enough to pay
the contractor g price, which was 5000,
but the difference was split and he
agreed to take $1S5, the additional
money being advanced by Mr.. Nc
Chesney.
The parks committee of the Civic
Federation of which Mr.. McChesney is
chairman, circulated subscription
list, the statement on the lists being as
follows:
"The above COMMITTEES, after full
investigation, has secured for the sum
of 5000 an option on the trees yet
standing (about two-ffths of the orig
inal growth) and it is to save this
growth for park purposes that you are

Steam roller tactics led by Super
visor Murray forced $4,000 appro-
priation through the meeting of the
Supervisors yesterday and bitulithic
pavement will be laid on Queen street
from Nuuanu street to the bridge over
the Nuuanu stream. The board also
acceded to Manager Gilman's request
to have his company guarantee the
pavement for ten years, instead of
making a surety company responsible.
The passage of the resolution was
not effected without opposition. Su-
rervisor Mcclellan stated very posi-
! lively that he was not in favor of btu
lithic for street over which heavy
traffic only passes, stating that the
| pavement, guarantee or no guarantee,
would not stand the tremendous wear
and tear put to the pavement by drays.
Bituiithic, he added, is good enough
for streets where light traffic is the
! rule.
The mayor was not quite satisfied
with the guarantee idea and asked Mr.
Gilman whether his guarantee "to last
ten years" was to be taken literally
or whether the company would keep
it in good repair for ten years.
Mr.. Mcclellan was of the opinion
that the paving of Queen street should
be open to competition, or that the lay
ing of the concrete foundation should
be let to competition, for he believed
a saving of from $500 to $4,000 could
be effected. The steam roller part Of
the board would listen to no arguments
of Mr.. Mcclellan and said that the
$4,000 should be appropriated. Mr.
Mcclellan stated positively that btu
lithic would not compare with creosot
ed blocks, and although the initial cos
would be greater than bitulithic, i
would last a good deal longer. Mr.
Mcclellan cited instances of creosotet
blocks being in use for thirty year
and in Just as good shape now as whel
originally laid.

JARRETT AND ROSE
bad DEMOCRATS"
ASSERTS GUMPFER

Sheriff William P. Jarrett and Dep
uty Sheriff Charles II. Rose are bad
Democrats. A strong suspicion to this
effect, which has been fostered in the
breasts of the Link McCandless lieu
tenants, was embodied in a resolution
presented by one of them to the Demo-
cratic county committee Friday night,
practically reading them out of the par
ty and with the expressed purpose of
preventing the county convention from
considering their names for renomina-
tion.
Neither Jarrett nor Rose have been
officially notified as to the action TAX
en- by the committee, and in their
search for information the former learn
ed that s. Gumpfer had introduced the
resolution and the latter that Harry
Juen introduced it. Both men are in
the anti.Jarrett faction.
The resolution, however, did not pass.
Link McCandless himself is said to
have strenuously opposed it, assisted by
one other, and its ultimate fate brought
it to the table where it was laid. 1t
