ICE BUSINESS NOT
GOOD FOR BAD
LUNGS

Miss Lucy Ward, special officer of
the Humane Society, reported at the
meeting of that organization this
morning that she has under invesuga-
ton the case of Portuguese boy, IL
years old, who contracted tuberculosis
through handling ice for a local con-
Germ during the summer vacation.
Upon taking the matter before ply
stefan, the special officer learned that
the case is the third Of its kind to oc-
cur within the past few months.
The report rendered by Miss Ward
with regard to the case shows that,
during the vacation, these boys hire
themselves out to the ice concerns and
go with the wagons each day, their
duties being to carry the ice into the
different houses. 1t is understood
that they go to work as early as 4
o'clock in the morning. never finishing
until noon. Through handling the ice,
the clothes of the boys generally be-
come saturated in a short time, and
it is from this that it is believed they
contract the disease. The matter was
discussed at some length by the socie-
ty. being turned over to the children's
welfare committee for thorough In
vestigation. Another matter to be in
vestigated by the same committee is
that regarding liquor-drinxihg and
dance-halls. 1t is known that, in
many instances, men attending these
bring liquor with them,
and, between the dances, take 1t to
nearby restaurants for consumption,
taking their friends with them as they
choose. The society desires to have a
stop put to this and will endeavor to
secure, the cooperation of both the
police and the board of supervisors,
through the committee. .s
Special Officer Miss Ward is now
Investigating the cases of three old
people, all Hawaiians, who are suffer-
ing with paralysis and are unable to
support themselves. She said this
morning that efforts to get them into
the Leahi Home had been without
avail, as that institution had no funds
to admit additional patients at this
time. Miss Ward will consult with
Mrs. Alice C. Jordan, manager of the
Associated Charities, this afternoon to-
see if that Organization can lend aid
in removing the people to the home.
Miss Ward, in her report, mentioned
that she had handled II cases regard
ing ill-treatment of. animals, the ma
jority of the ailments being gall-stones
and bruises, while there were several
instances of check reins and overload
ing: Cases dealing with children were
handled to the number of seven.

BISHOP STREET
and DANCE HALL
ARE DISCUSSED

Supervisor Petrie introduced a reso-
luton last night at the meeting of the
board of supervisors calling for the
opening of Bishop street from Hotel
to- Beretania.
The resolution was introduced ac-
cording to schedule, as agreed at the
public meeting held by the city fathers
on the opening of the Bishop street
project. =
Steps will at once be taken to get
the property data-property to be af-
fected by the extension-in shape that
the work may proceed without delay.
Several difficulties have appeared
which are to be disposed Of, but ae-
cording to Supervisor Petrie there is
good reason to believe the street can
be opened under the new statute pro-
viding for such work.
One of the features of the super
visors' meeting last night, which. it
may be added, was the record meeting
of the present board in point of dura-
tion,F was the introduction of a dance
hall ordinance, which carried with 1t
the local option feature.
The ordinance passed first reading,
not, however, until objections were
heard, which came mostly from Super
visor Wolter, who argued against the
local option section.
Ply that section. residents in a dis
trict may prohibit dance hall being
opened by the majority Of them sign
ing a petition opposing such dance
hall This idea was first suggested by
Supervisor Pacheco and has met with
the approval of the other members OF
the board, with the exception of VOL
ter. 1t will undoubtedly succeed in
passing it's next two readings. which
will mean according to the city faith
ers the end of their troubles with the
dance places.
