LOCAL FIRM FILES
FORMAL PROTEST
Objects 10 Form Of Bids From
Coast Corporation on Post
Hospital.

A protest against the manner in
which the San Francisco firm OF
Pringle, Dunn & Co., presented its
bid for constructing the general mill
tary hospital at Fort Shafter was filed
yesterday with Captain Edwards con.
structing quartermaster of the army.
After the tenders had been opened and
read the Honolulu Planning Mill, Of
which j. A. Lucas is the head, was
the protestant. The San Francisco
firm bid 500, 900 in a lump sum for the
construction of the three buildings;
the Honolulu Planning Mill, $67, 900,
and the Pacific Engineering Company,
$4,000.
The tenders called for separate bids
TO be filed for the construction of one,
two and three buildings, and to desig
nate the materials. Both the Homo
lulu bidders followed the instructions
explicitly. When the bids were opened
it was found that the San Francisco
firm had merely put in the lump bid
for all the buildings.
AS a result, long cablegram, con-
tanning the bids, names of bidders, in
structions to bidders, and the protest
was forwarded to Washington in the
afternoon, leaving it to the quarter
master-general to decide whether the
protest was well taken.
All the general hospital may not be
built at one time, therefore the neces.
sity of having the contractors bid on
one and two wings of the whole struc-
ture, as we'll as the completed structure.
The hospital is designated to care
for the sick from all the posts on this
island. AS there will be several
thousand troops stationed in the
Islands and certainly five or six
thousand by the middle of the year
1913, the hospital has been planned on
generous proportions. Fort Shafter
was selected as the site for the hos
pital by Colonel Ebert, chief of the
medical staff of the Western Division,
after his visit here few months ago.
He and Major Kennedy, chief medical
officer of the Department of Hawaii,
went over the plans in detail and de.
cided that Fort Shafter is the best
site of all those proposed.

PROFESSOR ALBERT BURBANK RETURNING
HOME AFTER RESEARCHES IN PHILIPPINES

Prof. Albert Burbank who has been
actively interested with his famous
brother Luther Burbank, in researches
in plant life, is passenger on the
Mongolia from the Philippine Islands.
1t was the intention of Professor Bur
bank to spend month at least in Ha-
wall but owing to unexpected news
from the Coast he was compelled to go
right through to San Francisco.
While in the Philippines the profes-
sor crossed the island of Luzon four
different times. He penetrated into
the interior of the other islands by ev.
cry means of transportation known in
those almost impossible jungles, as
cending the rivers as far as possible
and then tramping until he ran out of

J. H. BOYD DEFENDS
CONDITIONS IN MARKET

The Advertiser s story Monday morn
ing announcing the plans of the board
of health in regard to the fshmarket
raised walls from two people. One was
Chairman Kruger of the sanitation and
health committee of the supervisors,
and the other was from J. II. Boyd, the
fish inspector.
Boyd used up more space than Kru-
ger did. He reaffirmed his belief,
which lost the first fishmarket case for
the government, that the fishmarket
was better than it ever was and grow
ing better every day. He called atten.
ton TO the fact that the one of the
pure food cases against the Chinese
stall keepers was now before the SUI
preme court and that he and his COM
panions would not be able to act un-
til they got the decision.
He assured the public that there was
no fly that he was ever looking at sat
on piece of meat in his presence and
that there was not the slightest sign
of promiscuous handling" of food ex-
cept when his back was turned.
When The Advertiser called atten-
tion previously to the farce the city
attorneys Office was making of the en-
forcement of the ordinance, Boyd broke
likewise into print, quoting at length
an alleged vindication of himself
by Doctor Wayson. Doctor Wayson
called at The Advertiser Office the same
day and stated that the letter was not
only written without his consent but
was utterly unfounded in fact.

the railroad station and he was accord.
ingly taken there. When he came to
the tracks, to the detectives surprise
he bent down and began to measure
the distance between the rails after
which he said he was ready to go back
to the station.
The important discovery he had
made, which had completely satisfied
his curiosity, was that the tracks here
are narrower than they are in the State
of Washington.
He has never taken his capture very
seriously and in spite of the efforts that
have been made to impress upon him
the seriousness of running away with
more than fifteen hundred dollars, he
seems to think that he will go back
and apologize and all will be well.
During his visit TO the Islands Sher-
iff Hays visited the Volcano, over which
he enthused upon his return, and be-
came quite famInar with the city. He
goes back strong advocate of
the practise of sending police officials
to Hawaii at season when boats are
scarce and visits are necessarily long.
