DIR. MCCOY HAS
NO Information
ON TRIP TO EAST
Would Prefer to Continue With
His Present Work AT the
Leprosy Station

DR.. George w. Mccoy, director OF
the United States 1eprosy investiga.
ton station here, has not received any
official confirmation of the wireless
report published a week ago to the
effect that he was to be transferred
to Massachusetts, as commissioner OF
health. His sole Information to date
Is cable from a personal friend In
the east which tends to confirm that
appearing in the local newspapers.
This Is that the governor Of the state
of Massachusetts has asked President
Wilson to detail him as state commits
sioner of health for that common
wealth.
If the president grants the govern
orSs request the treasury department,
by which the bureau of public health
Is controlled, will make the transfer
and DR.. Mccoy will go east, although
he stated this morning that he would
personally much prefer remaining
with his present work in Hawaii.
Though the health work in Massachu-
sets, as in other states, is purely
state affair, the federal government
occasionally assigns one of its own
experts to assume charge of the health.
work at the governors request This
was done some three years ago in the
case of DR.. Curry, who took hold OF
California's hygienic and health affairs
shortly after leaving these islands. 8

REPUBLICANS! 70 I
STAND AGAINST
TOUCH SYSTEM
Take Measures to Get Rid OF
Campaign Runners Pes
tering Candidates

A determined stand against the
raids of a horde of professional poll
ticians, "pluggers' and campaign run
ners will be made by the Republican
county committee and candidates for
office during the general election
campaign that will open in a few days
The county committees special sub
committee last night met with G. o.
p. candidates for office to discuss
campaign plans and the determination
to eliminate the well-known touch
system from the political fray, so far
as the Republicans 60, was an i'm
|portant matter approved generally by
those at the meeting
During the primary campaign can
didates of all parties were pestered,
they declare, by lot Of cheap poll
ticians who said they could deliver a
few votes and who usually ended an
offer to support by asking the candi-
date for anything from dollar to
SIS. In past campaigns also there
have been legions of precinct runners
and others around headquarters way
laying candidates and campaign off,
cials in an endeavor to extract little
coin of the realm.
According to the decision reached
last night, Republican candidates If
approached will refer the importunate
.pan-handlers" to the county commit
tee and if the committee sticks by the
sentiments expressed today, 1t will be
mighty poor pickings around head
quarters for the politicians who are
willing to exchange promises of sup
port for meal-ticket money. --:..
Last nights meeting also settled the
matter of the campaign management.
The decision was that the county COM
mittee shall handle the entire cam
paign in this county. John H. Wise,
Kuhio's manager in the primary cam
paign, is to be a special secretary of
the county committee. While the
matter of salary for Wise was not
definitely settled last night, Republi-
cans said today that he will probably
be paid an adequate salary and that il
the campaign is successfully carried
On there will be no disposition to make
that salary a meager one. The result
Of the developments are that Wise
will be prominent in the campaign
subject to the orders of
The county committee. t...
1t was decided to open the CAM
oaign on October 10 and probably the
system will be followed Of speaking
,nly in one district when there are
.wo meetings night, thus making it
easier for candidates to get from one

o'clock. The hearing probably will
not be finished before tomorrow morn

The accident out of which the pres
ent case grew resulted in severe in
juries to officer Moranha, who spent
some time in the hospital but is now
able to walk without clutches. The
horse was so badly injured that it
was shot later, and Moranha has filed
a damage suit recently against Welsh
for the loss of the animal and the in

I54 games, winning 81, losing SO and
tieing 4, percentage of .607.
Speaking of the long swing across
the continent, Tan Le gave the fol
lowing facts:
aThe team has been very successful
on its third tour to the United States.
Although this year mas been bad one
for baseball throughout the country,
our team nevertheless drew we'll wher-
ever we went. IN, fact the receipts
of the trip exceed those of the former
years. This fact can .e accounted for
By the brand OF ball we put up against
fast teams and the novelty Of seeing

an American team does not draw we
played to enormous crowds. This fact
has been proved at various places.

, temple under the auspices of Honolulu
Lodge No. 400.
Francis Blakeley McStocker was
born in Philadelphia January 8, 1854.
He came to the country in 1883 and
married Nancy Luhana, daughter of G.
Along. His widow and their three
children Julia, Lydia L., who is the
wife of DR.. Arnett p Matthews, U. 8.
Army, and Francis Blakeley, now at
tending the College of Hawaii, survive
him.
Mr.. McStocker has been sick for
many months, and while 1t was beliey-
ed that he could not recover his death
was unexpected at this time.
Last Monday he was active and APP
parently as well as usual, writing a
letter to friend and was happy in
the family circle which has ever been
his chief joy, he being typical family
mana loving and devoted husband
and father.
Mr.. McStocker is of honorable line
age. His ancestors have all been pa
triotic, many having died In the clash
of battle struggling for the eternal
principal of right He himself was

eve to I'LL upon hearing patriotic
song, tale, or address; when the blood
has grown so cold in fact that patriot
ism is but word, that then and then
only Is the decadence OF American IN
to be expected.
He has filed high official positions
with ability and strict integrity. He
was for several years Collector Gen
eral in Hawaii, resigning that position
to take the management of that new
project, the Olaa plantation, which
position he held until 1904. At that
time he returned to Honolulu and aft
erwards became associated with Jas.

Mr.. McStocker was a leader and a
most valuable citizen, ever ready to
give his services to the community. |

 that it is a law of nature for boys

 of chums a boy finds in these crowds:
 One is the chum who wreeks boys

 builds up boys lives. MT. Gibson spoke of the various evils boy be- comes subjected to when he picks up with a chum who wreckS and then spoke of the good influence the chQrn who builds has over the boys This
 is the kind of chum a boy takes to his
 home and is proud to introduce to his parents.
 Another chunn, the boys best chum, is mother. Mother is the last person l in the world to go back on the boy. When all others have turned away from the boy there still remains moth CT to whom he can turn TOT comIort. MT. Gibson also showed the dlrerence between mother-love and father-love.
