MAKING WIDE INQUIRY
INTO HAWAII AFFAIRS
Secretary Fishers Work, 1t Is
Declared, Will Lead to
Change in Government.

HONOLULU, September 1.-THE inves-
tigation being conducted into conditions
in this territory by Secretary of the In
terror Fisher is assuming a far wider
scope than an inquiry into the charges
against Gov. Frear.
The Secretary is directing his inquiry
toward the administration of public lands,
conduct of transportation companies and
public utility corporations. and already
has asserted a belief that corporations
exercise undue control in the territory.
So far in the investigation the Secre-
tary has virtually disregaried the
charges against Frear and the question
of the latter's reappointment. Secretary
Fisher said today that this feature is in
cidental to the real subject of investiga-
ton, the principal purpose of which is to
ascertain fundamental conditions here.
Change Is Predicted.
The hearings are attracting the active
attention of the business community, and
many business and professional men pre-
dict that the result of the investigation
will be a change in the form Of govern
ment here.
Secretary Fisher will visit all of the is
lands in the territory and will make
an investigation into the conditions exist
ing on each.

The theory that many of the diseases
10 which different organs of the body are
subject are the result primarily of septic
poisoning which finds its inception in the
mouth or at the roots of the teeth, was
advanced by DIR. NJ L. Rhein of New
York city in a paper which he read at
the convention OF the National Dental
Association at the New Willard today.
DR.. Rhein declared that teeth which
were neglected or which were treated
improperly by unskilled or unscrupulous
dental operators offered fertile field not
only for suffering through tooth decay,
but, he said, poisons generated by defect
i've teeth pass into the human system
and by the slow process of their con-
tinued absorption the way is opened for
