Final Echo of Ancient Suit Is

territorial supreme court placed on

final verdict is against Kuhlo ana
sustains the judgment entered by
Judge Alex. Lindsay, Jr., when the
latter was sitting in the circuit court
in the decision over which Judge VII

The dispute, it appears, developed
over property in the Kapiolani estate,
the particular piece in this instance
heing located in the Pauoa district,
Honolulu, and said to have value OF
about $4,000 or $4,000. The litigation
seemed almost endless, one or two
reyersals adding materially to the

notice of that action has only JUS

FORMER Canal OFFICIAL AGREES

lected by myself for their reception.
Prior to 1905 no extensive sanitation
work had been undertaken by the
United States government on the ca
nal zone, and of these five or six hum
dred men, fully fifty per cent were
down with malaria fever within three
weeks after their arrival. Small
emergency hospitals near the camps
were constructed to care for them, but
the new arrivals died so fast that, at
one time, there were not sufficient
pine boards with which to make cof-
fins.
During 1905. the labor agents Of the
Isthmian canal commission were ship
ping men-all blacks from the Eng
lish West Indies-into the canal zone
at the rate of a thousand a month,
and almost Immediately after their
arrival in camp, cases of malaria fever
among them were so numerous that
the government hospitals at both
Colon and Ancon were full to capa-
city. The American officials on the

subject to attacks of this fever. Three

men and athletes-died there, and
