BOARD ADOPTS
NEW REGULATIONS

Owing to the new regulation of the
board of harbor commissioners adopted
recently restricting the discharge of
nitrates from vessels except in sound
and nonleaky containers, one Of the
big shipping firms having connections
at this port has cancelled all orders
for the carrying of nitrates on steam
vessels. These cargoes may be carried
IN sailing ships.
The board of harbor commissioners
Monday adopted regulation govern
ing the discharge and storage of nj
trates. If bags are broken the steamer
people must resack. The nitrates are
not to be allowed storage on tho
wharves, except when the cargo is to
be reshipped directly to another island
port. The commissioners at first pro-
posed that even though the nitrates ar
rived on the wharf in sound containers,
tarpaullns must be spread. Harbormas-
ter Foster, who has handled nitrates
both at mining ports and at destina-
tions, is of the opinion the use of tar
paulins would be a danger. He said,
as did Chemist James before the board
last week, that nitrate did not burn
of its own accord. Captain Foster said
the tarpaulin, becoming frayed, would
be an admirable agency for fire.
At the suggestion of the harbormas-
ter, the board will require that when
ever a vessel is to discharge nitrates
the shipowners or the agents shall pro-
vide ffty-gallon water barrels at inter
walls of fifty feet apart, each contain
ing solution of fresh water and nj
trates. Fire buckets are to be kept
alongside the barrels. This solution is
the only thing that will successful COM
bat fire in nitrates.

POSTAL
OFFICIAL RETURNS
TO WASHINGTON

BY a sudden order which reached Ho-
nolulu some time ago, George W. Carr,
assistant superintendent of transporta-
tion in the postal service, in charge of
this bureau in Hawaii, was recalled to
Washington for further assignment. He
will not be reappointed here it is be.
lieved, and as the field work in the
Islands in connection with the duties
of his bureau are now growing less, it
is probable that no successor will be
appointed for some time.
Mr.. Carr was assistant superintend
ent attached to departmental headquar-
tiers in Washington, under the second
assistant secretary Of the postal depart
ment He was assigned here directly
from Washington and during his sew
eral years stay has worked the island
mail transportation facilities into good
shape.
He has been temporarily succeeded
by Assistant Chief Clerk Albert II.
Hodson, who was his assistant here,
assigned from division headquarters
in San Francisco. II is the belief Of
local postOffice officials that the depart
ment will keep him in charge of this
bureau In Hawaii for some time, at
least.

CHINESE 7ONGS
ARE At WAR ON
VALLEY ISLAND
(Mail speeiaI to The Advertiser.l

mail Special to The Advertiser.)
WAILUKU, February 24.-As a re-
suit Of sudden burst of Republican
patriotism on the part of the Bo wongs,
the monarchial constitutionalists, Wal
luku Chinese circles are much aroused
Litigation, cusswords, prosecution and
bricks all figure in the row. The Bow
Wongs, who have been scorned hitherto
because Of their prediction for the
monarchial forms of government and
their modest ambitions, have suddenly
realized that the monarchial idea in
China is out of fashion and that they
were, indeed, people without coun-
try.
That was the first step. The second
was glorious celebration incidental to
the raising of a brand new five barred
flag by them, indicative of their
anxiety to get back into the fold and
become as Chinese as the best of the
queueless followers of Sun Vat Sen.
Having caught 1t going, however, they
proceeded TO catch IL coming, and that
evening Ching Hau of the Bow Wongs
and Dang FOng, a member OF the Che
Kong Fui Club and red hat revolu-
zionist, came TO blows A parasOl was
the deadly weapon used by the latter

the head of the former was where it
landed.
Now the Bow Wongs have employed
special prosecution and the revolution
aries who were born that way have
hired big firm to defend their cham
pion. The case was called for trial
and the entire Chinese population of
eastern Maui attended. At the critical
moment, however, it was found that
every Celestial on the Valley Island was
interested in the case and not subject
to duty as an interpreter so the case
was continued.
Criminal prosecution, however, was
not sufficient to satisfy the insult to the
revolutionists. They hired six auto
mobiles and commenced to chase stray
Bow Wongs around the streets to cut
their heads off and Sheriff Crowell has
just doubled the police force to handle
the situation. So it stands now.

Gems STOLEN FROM
ABRAMS RESIDENCE
Several Hundred Dollars Is Value
Of LoOt-Two Suspects
Are Held.

Between $500 and $500 in Jewels
were stolen from the home of Louis
Abrams, secretary of the Hawaiian
Trust Company, last Saturday night
while the family were at the Peninsula.
The job, from all indications, was done
by professionals.
Francisco Castro and Juan Orti, two
Porto Ricans, are being held at the re-
ceiving station under suspicion of the
robbery. Chief McDuflie, who is in
charge of the case is confident of sue
cess. Castro, who was originally ar
rested on suspicion in another case,
berry by accident.
In Investigating his movements Sat-
urday night the chief found enough
evidence TO arouse his suspicious, as the
Abrams case had just been reported
and was in his mind. To confirm them
he took Castro S shoes to the Abrams
home aud fitted them into footmarks
in the yards, and in one place particu-
larly where the robber had hidden be-
hind n bush The heels of the shoes
fitted into the heel marks to hair and
the shoes agreed with the entire marks
nearly.
There were two men on the job, for
not only were shoe marks found, but
several tracks of a barefoot, the owner
of which was evidently working with
the other man, are plainly visible. Juan
orti is supposed to be the other man.
He has habit of going continually
barefooted and is known to be com
panion of Castro's.
The jewels were taken from safe
that was opened expertly with jimmy
and other tools. The lock was ruined
and the safe thrown to one side. It
was in bedroom on the second floor.
The only evidence of the robbers in the
house are dirt tracks on the stairs.
The robbery was performed by some
who seemed to be acquainted with the
habits of the family for they appeared
to have gone about it in leisurely
fashion and made careful selections.

in the permanent pavement.
His Tale or Woe.
Hackman Mokumaia stated that they
had been driven off the stand. In at
tempting to line up elsewhere police
officers compelled the hackmen to move
on. They were American citizens and
paid their license fees he said, fearful

with them. All that and much more to
the same effect.
Amana made the longest speech of
his supervisorial career in defense Of
the stand. The mayor launched into
an grafton about autos owning the
streets while the poor hackmen were
thrown Off the streets and American
citizens barred from earning their liv-

Those in Honolulu with the willing
ness to learn, whatever may be their
station, can be taught something Of
benefit through a visit to the Public
Welfare Exhibit, in the Palama Settle
ment quarters. There, after great
deal of effort, have been gathered to-
gether Honolulu types as found in the
slums, and there have been reproduced
typical conditions as found throughout
the worst of the tenement quarters.
Side by side with these have been pre-
pared the remedies. There, displayed
where the contrast can be the most
striking, are the worst in the way of
tenement rooms and an example of
what may be accomplished for cleani-
ness, sanitation, comfort and even
cheeriness and beauty with the same
room.
The exhibit includes, as well, pic
torial and graphic evidences of the
grip upon the city of the White Plague,
together with map display showing
the efforts that are being made to crap.
pie with this disease to prevent its fur
Their spread and lessen its ravages.
Learn What to Do.
Those who have been so fortunate
as not to have been brought into con-
tact with the under world of this city,
but who desire to bear a citizens part
in the work of reclamation of human
life and happiness, should visit the ex.
hibit, talk with those in charge of the
various departments, see for themselves
the conditions begotten by ignorance
amidst which the settlement nurses,
mission workers, humane officers and
Others are laboring for the common
good, and learn where help is needed
and how it may best be employed. Let

improvements have been made in gen.
eral conditions during the past three
or four years. The worst of the tene-
ment conditions have vanished, how.
ever incredible it may appear to those
who may visit the tenements now for
the first time. Everywhere throughout
the city, small cottages are going up
and the oldest tenements are coming
down. In Iwilei some attempts at sani.
tation have come. The slum quarters
have children g Fairgrounds. The in
tense suspicion with which the orientals
and the most ignorant Hawaiians re-
garded all attempts to help them have
vanished and in many instances have
been replaced by great willingness to
help.
Thanks to the free kindergartens, the
missions, the free dispensaries, the con-
slant searching out of the sick, the UNI
renting efforts to guard the young
girls of the city, Honolulu Is improv-
ing. Yet, much remains to be done,
how much those who will visit the Pal
anna Settlement this week may learn.

Searching Out the Sick.
A great amount of good is being done
| in discovering tuberculosis cases and in
Fastening them into the hospital. A
Japanese man, alone in this country and
out of employment, was discovered, on
A., ly recently, in the last stages of
! phthisis, starving. He was found ly-
ing on low bed, in darkened, unven-
tilated tenement room. The bed was
nothing more than couple of boards
nailed together, with nothing but mat
ting as a protection, and one small,
dirty pillow beneath his head. Old,
filthy clothes and shoes lay on the floor
and couple of empty whisky bottles
were on stand near by. Not bit of
light nor fresh air entered the room.
1t had no windows, and opened upon a
small, narrow, totally dark hallway.
These are only two incidents of many
like conditions and the immortality ex.
listing in these tenements is something
horrible.
Resent Interference.
In Iwilei district, men stand in
groups inside the enclosures, in the day.
time, and these guards are loathe to
permit the Settlement nurses to enter

sections of the slums, the visiting
nurses are viewed with suspicion.
