WASHINGTON, d. C., August g
Senator Miles Poindexter, of Washing
ton, is slated to become chairman of
the Committee on Pacific Islands and
Porto Rico, succeeding the late Will
liam Lorimer, who was declared never
To have been Senator. A formal no.
tice of his selection Is expected with.
I'm few days.
At present Mr.. Poindexter - is the
last Republican member on the COM
mittee list. All those above him N
rank have other and more important
.chairmanships and do not care to re-
linguish them for the vacant position.
This leaves the Washington Senator
the only one who would be promoted
by taking the place.
Mr.. Poindexter is Progressive of
the most radical type. He is opposed
to anything and everything that say.
ors of graft, fraud, special privilege or
other of the old fashioned methods
OF getting rich quick by legislation.
Beyond this failing" he is considered
a fair-minded and just man.
1t is believed the material interests
of Hawaii will be well protected with
Mr.. Poindexter serving as chairman
Of the Senate committee through
whose hands all matters relating to
egislation for the islands must pass.

and sanitary means for the disposal
Of sewage. Throughout the entire Ter
ritory the conditions in plantation
camps are being improved and the
board greatly appreciates the assist
ance which the majority of managers
have given to the lettering of sanitary
conditions. If the same advance had
been made by individuals in cities and
towns as has been made on planta-
tions, the death rate would have been
much less"
Discussing the mosquito campaign
in Honolulu, the report says, in part
The work accomplished under the
Division of Sanitation consisted OF
159,305 inspections, including 507
places Of standing water drained, 12J
places of standing water oiled, cess,
pools oiled 2,96S, holes and low places
oiled or filled 1888; catch basins
treated 22S; swamps and ponds oiled
Trained or filled 11S; water barrels,
tubs, ETC., screened or overturned,
1895; loads of tin cans, bottles, etc,
removed ST.; places where mosquito
fish were distributed Al; gallons of
Gil used $500; places where mosquito
wrigglers or larvae were found, $500.
This work was accomplished with a
force of twelve inspectors"
This much work was accomplished
During the period from November 1,
1911, to April 1, 1912.
Rats and Mongoose Killed.
OF the rat campaign IN Honolulu,
the reports says that 25,759 rats and
ego mongoose were trapped; $40 rats
were shot from trees; 291 killed by
sulphur dioxide and found dead. Of
this number 23,403 were examined
bacteriologically, with the result that
none were found infected.
In closing his voluminous statement
DIR. Pratt saws:
"The work of the Department has
not been all smooth sailing yet on
the other hand it has been a source
of qualification that the public has
been so generally back of the efforts
Of the Board of improve conditions.
The Board needs the cooperation of
the public to make effective the work
they are trying to do. ." I
CAS- to the future, there are many
problems to be solved, particularly in
the City of Honolulu. Tenement
house conditions, sewerage, garbage
disposal, new streets opened, wet agri-
culture, pig and duck ranches, milk
supply, and filling in of low apd in
sanitary lands may be mentioned as
some of the most important. Most
of these will require some additional
laws but the most important work
viii be the education of the public to
the necessity of these improvements.
A start has been made in this direc-
ton and will be continued during the
coming year. ...-.
''The appointment of a sanitary en-
gineer as a member of the Board was
an advance in the right direction but
the engineering problems of the
board have increased so much that it
is planned to have sanitary en-
gineer employed regularly. Negotia-
tions are already under way and 1t is
hoped they will be successful.
"The educational work will be car.
ried on more extensively in the flu
ture. than during the past year."

WARRANTS FOR z
FOR EXTORTI0N

Attorney William McEniry and a
client, Morris Brien, were yesterday
afternoon served with warrants sworn
out by Walter Richtmann, charging
them with extortion. The defendants
appeared before Police Magistrate c.
j. Smith, who had issued the papers,
and arranged for a continuance of
their hearings until tomorrow.
The warrants were at the instiga-
ton Of P. H. Wells, attorney for RIGHT
mann. Several days ago Richtmann
and Carl MEME were arrested in con-
nection with the theft of an overcoat.
They denied their guilt and accused
Brien. The latter was arrested and
held in a cell over night. The latter
thereupon threatened suit against
them for causing his arrest Wells
claims that Richtmann was frightened
into settling for s25 to prevent such a
suit. Because of this he charges ex-
tortion.
Mr.. McEniry declined to comment on
the charges.

DENY ENGINEERS
WAGE INCREASE

New York, April 19.-The committee
of general managers of the eastern
railroads, after a further consideration
yesterday of the renewed demands by
the engineers of the so railroads in
the eastern territory for increased wag-
es, sent a communication to Grand
Chief Stone of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers that cit is not pos
sible to accede to your wage requests
and those certain to follow"
The letter Of the conference COM
mittee, which was signed by ]. C.

read:

of your letter of the 18th instant advis-
ing that the so roads vote 1913 per
cent in favor of supporting those in

question submitted to the conference
committee of managers.
THE conference committees an
swer of March % set forth with much
care and definiteness their conclusions
to the effect that for the reasons stat
ed the request made by the engineers
could not be granted. Immediate re-
sponsibility of the railroads to the pub
lie was briefly touched upon, but ap-
parently was not thoroughly appreci-
ated, and we again refer to it in great
er detail.
THE public interests are demanding
safer and better transportation, double
track where in many places single
track now exists, third and fourth
tracks where required, interlocking
and block signals, better cars and
stronger tracks, the elimination Of dan
gerous grade crossings, the adoption
of safety appliances. In view of the
narrow margin of profit, it is essential.

A committee OF Is members Of the
