MAY CONE TO
AID OF HOME

Urging that the county appropriate
SEQ q month for the benefit OF Leahi
Home, with the agreement that 1t viii
care for all cares Of tuberculosis
which may become a county charge,
Supervisor E. II. II Wolter, chairman
OF the health committee, made q
strong plea before the city fathers
at their meeting at noon today and
submitted letters from DIR. James T.
IWsysGn, the city and county physl-
clan, in which the need Of such an
Appropriation Is strongly emphasized
An agreement was reached &C Che
meeting by which the matter was re-
ferred to the ways and means co1s-
mittee with directions to confer with
the trustees OF the home In the matter
of the proposed Increase IN the appfo-
priation At present LachI receives
$3.50 month, and the suggestion made
by DR.. Waysen Is that the $3.50 allot-
ted TO the promotion committee he
switched 70 the home. thus increasing
its allowance to $500
A letter was also submitted from
Johannes IF. Eckardt. superintendent
OF the Queens Hospital IN which ne
named five perSens afflicted with tu-
borculosis who are patients Of the hos
pitai and MS such are declared to be
menace to the other inmates.
ri was made clear in the plea Of SUI
pervisor Wolter that the present ar
rangements for the care OF tubefcu-
Iosis patients Isl grossly inefficient
end that the health Of the community
demands that something be done at
cnce to better provide for the affiict-
ed, ~ 81 ~, tis
Says DIR. Wayson. in part, In his
letter to- Chairman WolteFs
81 wish to inform you that have
two more cases Of tuberculosis that
gshouId be at Leahi Home, as they are
in need Of special attention and q
danger to the others in the family.
II correctly informed, Leahi Home
cannot aecommQdate .the seven cases
because of insufficient funds. Even
doubling the previous amount given
by the board Of supervisors fails 70
make mp what is needed. Therefore,
most strongly srge that the board
increase Leali fund to $500 per
honth--even, II necessary TO do 50,
cut out the $3.50 allotted to the pro
H,stiOn committee. as 1t is more i'm
portant for the city and county to
care for our indigeRt sick than to
bring in many who in time eventually
become public charges.
The budget passed its final reading
at the meeting. today Arrangements
were made by the supervisors to make
a tour OF inspection of the schools o.
the far. side of the island. They will
leave tomorrow morning. The pur.
pose Of the trip is to see the condE
ton Of the institutions and TO pass on
the merits Of requests for minor i'm
pfovements.
The city fathers win meet again
Saturday noon to approve tho monthly
pay rolls.

temporary advantage, as the Olympic

that she might be fitted with double

CASTAWAYSSAVED
BY OFFICERS
in nile

For three days and two nights, as
castaways on the angry waters of the
Pacific off the coast of Japan, seven
wTetched and almost famished Fill
pinos owed their salvation from o
tragic death through the efforts made
by Captain George Lapraik and his
staff of officers in the Pacific Mai
liner Nile, which vessel was the
means of bringing the distressed sea
men to a place of safety.

accept any praise for their meritori.

Passengers and members of the crew.
Seven shipwrecked sailors who had
left Manila in the trading schooner
p. Conception Filemena, were re-
turned to that port in the Nile, whose
officers were greatly touched at the
sad plight OF the seamen.
Without food and water, and trust.
Ing to luck on a flimsily constructed
raft, the seven survivors of crew
numbering score or more men pre-
scented a pitiable appearance, so stat
ed Nile officers this morning.
According to their story the p.
Conception FilomeIa cleared from
Manila Saturday, May 3, for Vigan
and when we'll up the coast were
caught by the typhoon which swamp
ed and capsized their vessel. In all
there was a crew of 13 aboard, two
passengers and the little son: of the
latron. Nothing was seen of the
others after the vessel capsized. The
seven survivors chung TO a raft and

Several men belonging to the
schooner are said to have been res
cued by the. japanese liner Koan
Maru and were carried in that vessel
to Nagasaki, where they were given
passage to Manila in the Nile.
The Pacific Mail steamer is said to
have met with fine weather on the
homeward trip. At Manila a consid-
cradle amount of cargo was loaded.
The liner made an extended stay at
Hongkong, Woosung, and the regular
Japanese ports. @-..-
Arriving here this morning, the liner
brought II cabin, 8 second class and
20 Asiatic steerage passengers for
Honolulu. OF the latter a score or
more are Filipinos who have been
brought here to take up work on
island plantations. "

country will have five vessels each,

in that all of her fleet of giants are

three of the German five. England is

Passengers Face Death for Hours
The worst typhoon ! have ever
been in was the way that. Captain
sTcminga. master of the Japanese
liner Inaba Maru characterized the
storm which his vessel encountered
on a voyage from Manila to. Sydney.
From all accounts. the llabas Maru,
as well as the passengers, had a won
drrfnl escape, having caught the fun
force of a typhoon, which ragged be-
tween Hongkong and Manila. The
vessel was within few hours steam
or Manila. when she got it, and was
hove to for period of five hours.
When the steamer left Hqngkong the
disturbance was signalled, but as the
track indicated was W.N.W.,s Captain
Tominaga was perfectly justified in
taking bis ship to sea- But the I'M
expected happened, and the storm
yeered to the E.N.E. after Mindora
Islands were passed. This meant
that the IRaba Maru met the full
force of the blow The seafwas a
boiling cauldron, the wind howled
from all quarters, and the steamer
was tossed about like a bit or wood.
She shipped tons of water. ID went
all over her, and after strenuous eff
forts, the captain managed to get her
head on, and kept her in that position
for five hours.

The salutation given when q vessel

the Oldest and most honorable Of all
forms Of marine greeting. This form
Of salute has always bssn demanded
by English-speaking seamen. and it,
exaction has warmed tho hearts and
used up the powder Of generations Of
naval commanders.
In the old days. for q foreign ship,
whether merchant or naval. to enter
an English port without yelling top
sails or dipping its national flag was
to run the risk Of war. although peaoo
existed.
Without warning or argument, tho
shore defenses or q man-of!war would,
send round shot across the bows or
between the masts of tho foreigner,
and If the offending nag did not in-
stantly come down the insolent in

Why People Attend rheaters.

The playwright Is never and will
never be bettered by watching plays.
but by watching audiences. People go
to the theater for the same reason
that they go to church, concerts, pic
ture galleries or the operator relief
from the stress of real life. Let the
young playwright sit among playgoers.
not among other playwrights, and get
to understand how he may contribute
to the relief of the vast army of tired
men and women. He will find that
what people ask of the theater is not
the real-people rush to the theater
to escape from the real. He will find
that the theater is most powerful and
its attendance greatest when audi.
ences are given plays in which tho
real is invested with an idea-which
is all that any Of US ever mean by
the word ideal.-Charles Frohman.

Leonard and Tiger Coats.

So numerous are the coats Of leop-
ard skin that one might imagine it
child's play to pop one Of these snarl-
ing beasts into oblivion and rob him
Of his pelt. Even the tiger must be
ever on the alert II he does not wish
to donate his striped skin to adorn
some smartly dressed daughter Of CIV
ilization. It would not be q wise pur-
chase for the woman who can have
only one fur coat to buy one Of leop-
ard skin-she would thus be COMPEL
ed to advertise to her friends that it
was her only fur coat, for leopard
or tiger skin is not easily forgotten.
This very quality. however, makes
the coat desirable to the woman who
sheds her fur coats as many times q
day as she does her cloth ones.
