From the above figures 1t will be
seen that the percentage Of tubercu-
lous animals up to the present time
is 1872 per cent. There remains in
the neighborhood of fifteen hundred
animals still to be subjected to the
test, but as these are owned by the
o. R. & L. Company, and as the per-
centages of diseased animals among
their stock Is very low, indeed. being
less than one per cent. the addition

Focke shows the highest percentage,
four of the eight animals tested being
condemned as tuberculous. That such

ing conditions it, is quite apparent
that no systematic work as to eff
cient disposal of fruit can be expected
from the county until it adopts free
garbage system and increases its
equipment. In the meantime we are
ourselves hauling to the incinerator
as much infested fruit as our limited
means will allow. A number of house
holders, within the garbage limits,
having sufficient trash on their prem
ises to burn their fallen fruit, prefer
that method to taking chances on a
weekly or bi-weekly system Of collect
ing as at present prevails. Further
more, householders complain that
when the fruit is not promptly carted
away from the sidewalk by the gar
bage department, certain classes Of
school children rummage the contain
ers and distribute part Of the con
tents on the sidewalk, where 1t is left
to rot unless the householder troubles

President w. M. Giffard of the
board of agriculture and forestry this
morning precented to the commits
sioners the sixth monthly report OF
the fruitfly control department, OF
which he is the director. He says in
part:

tined districts in Honolulu has con-
tinued en- the same lines as previous
ly reported, the work in general IN
Guiding the gathering and destroying
,of infested fruits having been done
in as thorough a manner as local con-
dftions would admit. The mango sea-
son is almost at its height and much
. of the attention Of inspectors has OF
course, had to be given to the daily
sweeping up and disposal of the fall
en- fruit. The percentage of mangoes
found infested with the Mediterranean
,fruitfly is small as compared with last
year. This is altogether satisfactory
in view of the fact that the crop this
year is unusually large.
"The department. has had additional
work thrust on it because of the un
fortunate shortage Of teams and mer
in the county garbage system. There
have been numerous complaints from
householders, who do not subscribe t'
the garbage department that thell
fruit is not carted away regularly bu
left to decay in containers , on thu
sidewalks. The garbage department
had promised 70 cooperate with TN

They came with a request, that new

This afternoon the Governor and
Land Commissioner Tucker will pay a
visit to a black sand pit in the hills
The property will be loked over in
order to decide whether or not any
more of the sand will be allowed to

been shifted and, as recent develop
ments seem to point to the black
sand being very valuable, the govern
mens is determined not to give away
anything of value for nothing.

Manager, Prescott, of the local
branch of the Standard Oil Company,
was very surprised when he read this
mornings paper. An article that
stated that the oil of the company
was said, by the Territorial chemist,
to contain water, was the cause Of
Prescott's amazement. AS soon as
he read the article he wended his
way to Food Commissioner Blanch-
ards office, and made inquiries into
the matter.
The whole matter resolves itself
into a question of where the kero-
sene was purchased, and by whom
1t was watered That the oil con-
talns water is unquestioned. Blanch-
ard has tested the oil and found
water. The sample, which is con-
tanned in a bottle, looks like water,
and the smell of kerosene Is very
weak.

muki purchased a can Of oil at a
store. The kerosene is alleged by the
purchaser to have burnt we'll in his
lamps till about half the can was fin
Ished. Then the ''oil" refused to
burn properly, and an early retire
ment to bed became necessary every
evening.
A sample was taken to Blanchard
and he was asked to test it for water
That is all the chemist had to do with
the matter, and according to his state
ment this morning, the story in the
Advertiser got a wrong twist on 1t
Manager Prescott, of the Standard
Oil Company, interviewed Blanchard
and obtained all these facts from
him. Then Prescott gave out the fol
lowing statement to Star represen
tative:

Ridder is the latest acquisition to the
parish Jail on a charge of murder
growing out of the Grabow riot OF
July Z. Green came to Jail on his own
accord. The grand jury returned a Dill
at its special session when the era
bow case was investigated, and Green,
learning of his indictment, delivered
himself, coming down on the train
from De Ridder.
Philip Fazeral, the Italian wounded
in the Grabow fight, was placed in
Jail Friday. He had been confined at
St. Patricks sanitarium for treatment
ever since the trouble, and has now re-
covered sufficiently to take his place
with others indicted for murder in this
connection. Fazeral was shot in the
head, and at the time it was not
