VOTERS SUIT
TAKEN IN HAND

Attorney General Lindsay this morn
ing received the papers in the injunc
tion suit brought against the govern.
ment by William Wolters, as else
where reported. He is now studying
the case.
Wolters claims that as the street

fifty years, and as egress and ingress
would be made difficult by the mar
rowing of the street, the work should
not be done He also states that he
owns property on the street, and that
it will become less valuable if the
street is closed, as is eventually plan.

Yesterday afternoon, at the Board
of Health office, DR.. Hobby delivered
an address to the inspectors of the de-
partment. The subject chosen was
disease and its relation to sanitary
conditions. The lecture was divided
into three heads and then enlarged
upon. The diseases conveyed by water,
such as cholera and typhoid, were de-
scribed, and the necessity of a close
watch beil.g kept by the inspectors
was emphasized.
Then the diseases that can be car.
ried by air were discussed. Measles
and scarlet fever were touched upon
and the manner of infection described
The diseases that are carried by in,
sects were mentioned, and the condi
tions of yellow fever, dengue and
plague were explained, The lecturer
spoke in everyday, plain, non-techni
cal language, and showed how, if sani
tary conditions are improved, the

ther questions-first, as to whether
the parasite can be brought hither
alive, and, second, whether it will live
and breed, or be capable of colonial
ton, here.
1T was the parasitic method the
planters successfully adopted here for
keeping down the sugar-cane leaf
hopper, and we have hopes that it
may prove equally successful, if it's
introduction be practicable, along
with the other remedies, in the fight
against the fruit fly"
Asked what we're his latest advices
about the action of the legislature of
California, Mr.. Giffard stated that an
appropriation of $4,000 had been
made but the money was not yet
available. A portion of this money
would be applied to assisting the cam
paign in this Territory, including the
ipay of inspectors of fruit shipments

MURRAY CASE
IS ONLY THING
TALKED ABOUT

The investigation of the territorial
grand jury in the Murrey-Hernandes
case opened at p. m. in the office
of Mayor Fern. AN the witnesses
who were heard at the inquest were
on hand
DIR. Emerson was the first witness
called He assisted at an autopsy per-
formed on Hernandes by DR.. Emer-
son.
The doctor testified that death was
due to a fracture at the base of the
skull. Contributory causes were hem
orrhage and shock. There were few
marks of injury on the body. The
spleen was found to be three times its
normal size and there was nephritis
and fatty degeneration of the right
kidney
Examination of the right side of the
head between scalp and skull reveal
ed a considerably bruised appearance
The liver was torn, probably due to
concussion caused by a sudden fall

tanned by Hernandes would have kill

As Disease Producers

chance Of disease getting a hold is
much lessened.
The doctor said that it was noticed
in San Francisco how, when the rat
crusade was on, the various diseases
of the city became very much less.
In speaking of the diseases spread
by flies DIR. Hobby said that the best
thing to do was to remove all filth,
and thus abolish the breeding places
of flies.
DR.. Hobby only spoke for about half
an hour, but he made everything plain
to his audience. The inspectors are
taking the greatest interest in the
course of lectures, and are studying
the subjects brough' up.
There will not be another lecture
for a few days, as it is thought better
to allow the inspectors time to digest
what they have already heard. Secre
tary Mott-Smith may be the next man
to deliver an address.

The Claudine was taken off the mar
inc railway before daylight today, ad-
vantage being taken of an exception
ally high tide. She will take up her
regular run to Hawaii via Maui to-
morrow afternoon. She is now load
ing, and looks well in her new coat
Of paint.
The marine railway, it will be re-
called, was damaged by the West Vir-
ginia humping the seven pile dolphin.
The havoc had the effect of maroon
ing the Claudine which was perched
up on the highest point undergoing
her periodical overhaul
1t looked as though the Inter-Island
Company would have to keep the Clau-
dine up there indefinitely, as the work
of repairing the runway will be very
slow owing to it's being submerged.
The Mauna Loa had taken up the XII
nau's running, and the Kinau was on
| the Claudine run to Hawaii
The shipping officials had despaired
of getting the Claudine into service
again for a long time yet, but they
went to work and finished the over
hauling in order to be prepared for
any advantageous position When ii
was discovered that the tide was very
high this morning, it was resolved to
make an attempt to get the Claudine
down. Acting Manager Sam Lyle fig
ured that the height of the water
would enable him to use the runway
far enough to float the Claudine again
The cradle was accordingly lowered
with great care, and gradually the
Claudine was soon floating about
again Tugs were in attendance to
tow her out into the stream, as owing
to the hurried arrangements, she had
no steam of her own. Everything
went off without a hitch, and the
steamer was taken around to her old
berth at the Kinau wharf. She is now
loading a carge for Hawaii, and will
leave for there via Maui tomorrow
afternoon at five o'clock.
President ]. A. Kennedy was nat
urally very pleased to get the Clau
dine into service again, But he was
reticent as to any other matters con
cerning the smashed up marine rail
way. He stated that so far the Off
cials had been unable to estimate the
damage done. But glance at the
twisted iron and splintered wood in
the yard of the railway indicated that
a lot Of damage has been occasioned
and that it would take some time to
put the dock into proper commission
again.
Mr.. Kennedy admitted that the small
vessels can be docked with the rail
way in it's present condition. The
Kaiulani, for instance, will be hauled
up tomorrow morning. But the w
G. Hall could not be put up. Neither
} could the Mauna Loa be docked il
order to put in the new boilers tha
arrived in the Wilhelmina on her last
"trip.

STEAMER CLAUDINE RELEASED
FROM PECULIAR EMBARGO

The Claudine will resume her old
run tomorrow. The Kinau, it is be-
lieved, viii also take up her running
to Kauai as formerly, but what is to
happen to the Mauna Loa has not yet
been stated. She might go on reliev-
ing, or she might be put aside for
awhile until the marine railway is
ready to haul heavy boats again.

SOLDIERS FURLOUGH EXTENDED
FOR THE SANITARY CAMPAIGN

The permission of the war depart
ment regarding the furlough of the
soldiers has solved a great difficulty.
Some of the overseers are soldiers
who, at the first, applied for four
months furlough. These non-commis-
stoned officers have no need now to
ask for an extension. Several mar
ines, who are detailed for special
shore duty, are also free from the
necessity of getting leave.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-01-04

Word was received by cable yester-
day afternoon, that the furlough of
the seventeen non-commissioned Off
GERS, who have been acting as inspec-
tors and overseers during the mos
quito campaign, had been extended by
the chief of the Western Division.
This news has relieved Doctor Nc
Coy of a lot of worry, for the placing
of a lot of green overseers on the
work was anticipated with some dread.
