MAUI SMALLPOX"
IN CHICKEN CLASS

Letters received from Maui yesterday
morning by President Pratt of the
board of health state that the outbreak
of "smallpox" which was reported
from Puunene and Wailuku several
days ago is most likely chickenpox in
stead. The "smallpox" case at Pun
meme has already been determined to be
chickenpox, but DIR. Osmers writes that
the two Filipinos who are sick in the
Porto Rican camp at Wailuku might
have the more serious disease.
Doctor Pratt Friday morning received
a wireless from Doctor Osmers asking
that Chief Sanitary Inspector Charlock
of Oahu be sent up and the president
was preparing to take this action when
he received another wireless stating
that no help was needed after all.

SUICIDE IN FRISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, March SO.-Mrs.
Mabel R. Kelley, wife of Edward Kee-
ley, known as "Earle the Psychic, "
and recently of Honolulu, committed
suicide here today by taking gas. She
left the following note:
"Dear Ed: You told me the way.
Here goes.
Edward Earle, or Keeley, who for
several months ran fake spiritualistic
seanees in house on Kinau street, left
Honolulu only recently for the Coast.
His wife left Honolulu some time be-
fore him,
Following his expose by District At

Honolulu declined rapidly until it
reached point where there seemed to
be chance that it would be altogether
marred by official interference. The
only thing he left behind was his repu-
tation.

tfr0m sunday AuVerllser.)
The prospect of the immediate en-
trance Of the women of Honolulu into
the fight against the billboards has
proved so alarming to the interests be-
hind outdoor advertising that an at
tempt has been made to head it off.
Broad intimations that there is such a
dreadful thing as federal law that
will be fouled by any such attempt by
the women has been directly conveyed
to the Outdoor Improvement Committee
of the Kilohana Art League, the live
wire today in the identifying of Homo
lulu.
az have been warned by prominent
business man Of the city to 'go slow
in this antibillboard campaign" said
Mrs. F. J. Lowrey, the chairman of the
committee, yesterday. "He said that
there is a federal law against boy
cotting that might be broken by any
attempt to get the women to fight these
things, but so far the committee has not

not looked into this point.
A Bias Bilboards.
"I want to say, though, that we are
heart and soul in everything that can
help to do away with billboards. We
are keeping one thing before us, and
that is that women in other cities have
been the means of getting rid of these
denominations. What women in other
cities have been able to do, the women
of Honolulu can do.
81 have been told that the women,
by refusing to purchase goods adver-
tised on billboards, would not stop the
billboard advertising of liquor and
cigarettes. But it seems to me that it
won't be profitable to maintain them
just for these two items.
"We all remember the pickle bill
board that stood ON Kalakaua avenue
for short while several years ago, and
how the sales in the articles advertised
dropped off so perceptibly that the bill
board was given up. I think it is
mistake that our churches have used
billboards.
eve certainly have the women of
the city behind us, and with that sup
port / think we can do anything.
Punchbowl Park.
At the invitation of the promotion
committee, the Outdoor Improvement
Committee has taken up the matter of
parking the Punchbowl and its mem
bers have interviewed General Macomb,
commander of the Hawaiian military
district, regarding it. They were in
formed that the federal government
would in all probability return this
reservation with the exception of the
frontal strip to the territorial govern
ment in the near future.
No objection to its immediate i'm
provement would be made, said the
general, and the intention at present
is to cut out all the underbrush, trim
the trees and put in road around the
crater.
Other matters which the committee
has taken up are the planting of trees
around Kala Park (Which is already ac-
complished), the parking of the Alapai
"Plaza,'' the parking of Kalakaua ave-
nue., project commenced by the super
visors and also the trimming of high
hedges and the removal of as many
fences as possible around Honolulu

No Gentlemen Crooks.

DR.. Bertillon, the French expert on
criminal mensuration, has dlscredited
one Of the pet ideas Of the novelists and
playwrights. The gentleman criminal,
he says, does not exist in real life;
Arsene Lupln and Raffles are lnven-
lions and nothing more. No matter
how extensively they may dress or
live there is always something which
betrays the professional crooks to the
trained observer. Crooks, he says, are
mostly specialists. And not only do
they find it impossible to pass as gen.
tlemen, but gentlemen for the most
part would find 1t exceedingly diff
cult to make a living as crooks. So
It seems that even If a gentleman has
all the will in the world to be crook,
or crook to be a gentleman, early
training will prove stronger than desire
