BIRTHS EXCEED THE
 DEATHS IN PHOENIX SAYS HEALTH OFFICER
Remarkable Showing Made in Capital City for Month of April. Dr. Godfrey Comments on the Situation.

PHOENIN. May lI-Accordiug 10 the report of City Health officer Ed, ward s. Godfrey Jr, for the month of April the births for the entire reg istrauon district. which includes out lying institutions sauitariums, exceed ed the deaths There were 54 births as contrasted with 52 deaths. This is an unusual record as the death rate tor the entire district usually exceeds the birth rate by reason of the fact chat there are so amny ill in the insti- tutions the probabilities of the deaths being greater in number than the births are evident.
 In the city limits during April there were 38 births as contrasted with 32 deaths This is also an excellent rec ord indicating an excellent state of af- fairs from a health standpoint On April 30 there were remaining eight scarlet fever cases, two diphtheria cas- es and three chickeupoX cases not Quaranteened.
 Dr. Godfrey makes these obserya- tions on the general health situation:
 Of the scarlet fever cases. two were secondary to another in the same lam- ily. The first reported ease was found Co have a brother who had been i'll several days previously with symp- toms suggesting probable scarlet few CT He had attended school prior to the development of the second case. Essentially the same thins happened i'm another case, though the dates of onset make it probable that the first missed case was responsible for the four other cases among children at- tending this school The three cases not counted for above give no history which would enable one to state the probable source of infection.
 or the four diptheria cases, two at- tended the Capitol school and two the Catholic school Carriers were found i'm two of the families The persist- ence of the injecting organism in the throats of the cases after recovery has been somewhat remarkable Pos tive cultures were obtained in two cases for a period of more than five weeks One case is still in quaran- tine on this account
 The four cases of chickenpox were verified, though it must oe confessed that ihe severity of the first case and Che typical naure of the eruption in. Clined me to the belief that it was smallpox The occurrence of typical chickenpox among other members of the family cleared mp the diagnosis.
 The births and deaths for the first quarter of 1915 have been classified and will be submitted with comments as a separate report
 SiXty-nine cultures were examined for diphtheria eighty-seyen outside calls were made. twenty-nine nuis. ances were inspected and eight calls made at the city hall.

TATTOOED Man
not MURDERER
BOSTON WANTS
Peculiar Mixup OF Identities
Takes MCDuffie on Fruit
less Kauai Man-Hunt

A remarkable mix-up in identities
took Captain of Detectives McDuffie
to Kauai last week 10 get q man heia
there in the belief that he was wanted
for murder III Boston. The result ct
the trip was nearly fruitless. except
to uncover a story Of coincidence sell
dom equalled In police annals.
McDuffie returned from Kauai yes
terday accompanied by stranger, but
the stranger isn't the man he was ex.
pected to be. So far as the police
know, .le isn't wanted anywhere His
name is F. Yandell. He came back
simply at McDuffie,s suggestion, and
is not In custody, though sleeping at
the police station.
Another man. L. D. Smith, whose
name was wirelessed here last We'd
nesday as possible alias used 5y the
murderer, turns out to be one of the
city's chronic vagrants and wine
buns
1t appears that one of the men had
most of the distinguishing marks of
the hunted criminal; the other had the
suspicious actions, and when both of
steamer for Kauai, the mix-up arose.
AS told by the Star-Bulletin last
Thursday, the police here received
word from Boston, through San Fran
cisco and the Matsonia officers, to
look for a man named Frank Tracy,
wanted for the murder of Boston
junk dealer. The police here heard OF
a man who had come down in the Mat.
sonia steerage last Tuesday and had
hung around the waterfront until he
left in a steamer for Kauai that eve
ming. McDuffie wirelessed to Kauai
and gave some of the distinguishing
marks of the criminal, among them tat
tooing. Eeputy Sheriff Crowell OF
Kauai got man from the steamer
who had tattoo marks and wirelessed
back to know what nationality the
was. McDuffie, not knowing
what Tracy's nationality was other
than that he was a white man, wire
lessed back:
White <man. Tattoo marks suffi-
cient for Identification.
On the strength of Crowell's arrest,
McDuffie went to Kauai. Then he,
found that the man with the tattoo
marks was Smith, the weil-known
"wine-bum.' while the man who had
gone quietly from the Matsonia to
Kauai wasn't tattooed or anything else
like the man Tracy. .lie had left the
steamer and gone ashore quietly but
McDuffie had no reason to suspect him
Of any crime.
Yandell says he is from Texas and
was simply looking for work.

Six Officers and "a Enlisted

A cable message from the War De

transmitted to Schofield Barracks.
Hawaii will not send team to the
military horse .show and competitions
to be held at San Francisco this fall
No transportation is available. and
according to the War Department mes
sage, the P. p |. E. management is
not willing to put up the money to
send the team on a liner.
It was originally intended to take
men and mounts to San Francisco on
the horse transport Dix. Now, 1t ap
pears that the Dix can't make the
necessary connections.
The news is bitter disappointment.
to the six officers an q enlisted men
who were to have made the trip. and
who have been working for six months
to fit themselves and their horses for
the competitions. Not only have these
men worked hard and faithfully on
the promise Of the trip, but the field
training of their organizations has
been broken up to give officers and
men every opportunity to make gaod
because the transport Dix's return
from the Philippines could not be ex.
pedited sufficiently to bring the boat
here in time to land the team and
horses at San Francisco early enough.
the entire trip has been cancelled.
Late yesterday a cablegram from
General McClain. at Washing
ton. announced to Major-G General Car
ter the condition of affairs. Ta.ine
the team over on a boat at govern.
ment expense is also against the rec
hence the abandonment Of
the trip. s.
For months the department of Hs-
wall has been keeping after army au-
therities In Washington to expedite
the Dix's return. SO that the team
could be landed in San Francisco p.
sufficient time In advance of the tosr
nament to allow the men and mount
q chance to get into training on the
exposition grounds and recover fror
the effects of the trip. ~,
Yesterdays cable, however. means
1t Is 'all off," so far as Hawaii's nar
ticipation is concerned. This is bit
ter disappointment to the men who
had their hearts set. on making the
trip and bringing back prizes for the
Of Hawaii.
The original plan was to send one
cavalry and one artillery team, but
this was later changed, and one com.
bined team of cavalry and field artil

The exposition authorities have re-
fused to postpone the tournaments

Is UP FOR CRITICISM

ner-McInerny Thinks the
Swift Liner is Too Big a Ship
for the Honolulu Coast Run


At the meeting this morning Of thu
committee of Is, appointed by E. l
Spalding through the Chamber Of Com
merce TO investigate the alleged condi
tions OF congestion in passenger traf
fic between here and the mainland, Q
subcommittee was appointed by Chair
man L. Tenney Peck, to secure data
on passenger and freight traffic for q
period of four years past.
The committee was appointed fol
lowing motion by A. L. Castle, and
consists OF five members. as follows:
Chairman, A. l.. Castle, w. H. Mcln.
erny, r. G.. Brown, H. L. Strange and
n. J. Lowrey. At a short meeting OF
the subcommittee held Immediately
following the meeting of the Is, II was
decided to take up active work In the
Investigation tomorrow morning.
No report will be handed back to
the Chamber Of Commerce by the gen.
eral committee until after the sub
committee has completed its inyestiga-
tions. General opinion seems to be
that this will require not less than a
week.
In the general discussion which pre-
ceded the appointment Of the sub-com-
mittee, frequent slaps were taken at
the speech read by Governor Pinkham
in the meeting held BY the Chamber
of Commerce last week, In which large
lists Of empty berths were mentioned
as available on all of the liners leay-
ing Honolulu. The general opinion
seemed 10 be that this argument Of
the governors had been decidedly mis-
leading. and not truly representative
OF the facts.
Maximum Capacity Figures. -.
=. A. Berndt, chairman OF the Promo
fion Committee, stated that he had had
occasion 10 take up the matter Of ac-
commodations and had found that the
maximum capacity for passengers
which the governor had quoted was
really the maximum as named by the
inspector Of hulls and boilers for
steamships capacity, and not the rea-
sonable capacity at all.
The fact that rooms have three
berths In each Of them" said Mr..
Berndt., does not necessarily mean
that these rooms can always be filed
to that capacity. No steamship leaves
the port with that complement. for It
is never possible to divide the entire
passenger list up in that manner, and
the paper read by the governor is
therefore misleading.
"The governors figures mean moth
ing at ALL said A. L. Castle. There
is no argument in the fact that certain
boats LEFT at certain times without the
full complement Of passengers, just be-
cause OF the facts which Mr.. Berndt
has mentioned.
Others were OF b like opinion, and
felt that facts should be secured rath-
ef than mere theories. "our invesu-.
