SOLDIERS HOME
MAY CLAIM I. B.
STUART, REPORT
Friend From Here Says Judge
Gave Him This Information
Prior to Departing

If he is not already there, Circuit
Judge Thomas B. Stuart, writer Of the
now famous personal letter to Pres
ident Wilson, intends to enter the old
soldiers home at Hollywood, Cal, II
what he told local Democrat prior to
leaving Honolulu Is authentic.
This Democrat, who was close,
personal friend of the Judge, says that
the Hollywood secret, If it be 2 secret,
was made known to him few days
before Judge Stuart sailed away with
the rest of the Hawaiian delegation
to the Bourbon convention.
aThe Judge die not say why he was
going there; he Just told me he was
seriously considering entering the
home, and that is all ! know, the
Bourbon adds.
The Star-Bulletin was informed re-
Gently that Judge Stuart had ideas OF
this nature In mind, but confirmation
of the report could not be obtained.
Democratic friends Of Judge Stuart
claim that he is independently well-off
as are q number Of the inmates OF
the HOLLYWOOD home. Whether Judge
Stuart will ever come back to Homo
lulu to look after his homestead on
windward Oahu is still q matter OF
conjecture. even among those who
claim 10 be posted on his whereabouts
and intentions.

CITY MATERNITY
CASES PROBABLY
Go TO QUEENS

At a conference with President
George w. Smith and Superintendent
Werner Roehl of the Queens hospital
this morning, at which DR.. Wayson,
city and county physician, was pres
ent, the health committee unanimous
ly decided to recommend to<the board
OF supervisors that an agreement be-
tween the city and county and the
hospital be ratified. whereby the hos
.pital will accept all INDECENT materni-
ty cases at the rate of $3.50 day,
giving them the usual ward treat
ment and attendance. r
Initiative of this deal did not come
from the Queens hospital but from
DR.. Wayson, when the Kapfolani Ma
ternity home had informed him that
INDECENT cases would henceforth be
charged $3.50 a day-an advance OF
one dollar-the reason given being
the increase in the cost OF mainten-
ance of patients.
At the same time the Queens hos
pital trustees were glad to negotiate
for such an arrangement, as they had
decided to round out the efficiency OF
that institution with lyingin depart
ment. One of their impelling reasons
for the new departure is the deslra-
bility OF giving the class of nurses in
training there the benefit OF practise
in this particular branch OF nursing.

LONDON, Eng, Aug. AFTER
the battle of Romani late last
week, in which 1900 Turks were
repealed when they attempted to
cut forward to the canal, the Brit
ish troops were ordered out into
the Katia basin, east of Suez, and
for two days have been operating
against the Ottoman, who are
partly officered by Germans. The
basin and surrounding desert
have been cleared of the Turks,
of whom 3l45 have been captured,
Seventy Germans were taken with
them.
Military experts are unable to
fathom why the Turks yentured
to attack this spot, unless they
were misled concerning the
defenses of the canal.
At last reports the British and
French had an army of nearly
100000 men along the canal itself
and much larger force in Egypt,
much of it available for opera
tions along the canal. The force
distributed along the canal con-
sisted of $4,000 Australians and
New Zealanders, 5000 British reg
ulars, 10000 English territorials,
10000 Indians and several thou
sand tribesmen under the French.
The British have defended the
canal not only by extensive field
works but by warships with big
guns, which have proved a terror
to the attackers.
