Whether or not physicians Of ORR

itations, and a. to what sc "the offl-
ciaI language Of the Territory Of Ha-

This unexpected point recalls the
sudden and heretofore fnexphcable
resignation Of DR.. George Herbert and
DR.. E. d. Kilbourpe from the board
early this month--resignations ten
dered, according to the physicians, at
the request of the governor. The
third member Of the board, DR.. r. w.
Benz, now on the mainland, has also
been asked for his resignation, 1t Is
understood. The places Of DR.. Her
bert and DR.. Kilb0urne have been fill

Mcdonald and DR.. w. L. Moore, as
announced in yesterdays Star-Bul-

governor and the board arose from
the fact that recently three japanese
