Gus word to say as to the big changes
that have been made in the cellars and
in the famous "bum" quarters-the
lowed to sleep.
In his report of early January the
condition of the cellars which were
Uttered with old beds, furniture, rub
bish of most every description, and
the tramp quarters whose filthy mat
tresses, bedding and so on, were so
Vermin- infested, they were especially
condemned by the inspectors:
Now the cellars nave been thor
oughly cleaned and a liberal use of
the walls, ceilings and floors. And
my. what a change in the tramp quar-
ters!" declared Inspector Wilson.
These rooms have been cleaned,
scrubbed and white-washed and the
bedding and filthy mattresses have
been destroyed.
State Board of Charities on job
'And then" observed Mr.. Wilson in
conclusion, "other things that indi-
cate betterment of conditions gener-
orally were found. For instance
might say that arrangements are now
being made with the aid of the State
Board of Charities to remove to the
institution for feeble minded at Polk
the tw defective children that are
housed at the almshouse.
Something might be said of the
method of furnishing diet for the
comfortable tubercular department,
of the wide porches. of the fact that
milk. eggs and so on are given the
sufferers; other inmates who require
are given milk. 4Liss Margaret c. Leh-
man is the efficient nurse of that de-
partment and Alfred Baxter is the at
tendant. AS for butter. all the butter
that is made on the farm is used on
the inmates tables. This means that
they get butter two or three times a
day.
Only One Recommendation
Then. too, the pantry has been
cleaned and renovated, new chop
ping block has been placed in the
butcher shop; more sanitary methods
of storing vegetables; better and more
cleanly facilities for butchering have
been provided.
"In fact" finished Mr. Wilson,

Carranza May Cross Line
Only If Outlaws From
u. S. Raid Mexican Soil
Special to the Telegraph

Washington, d. c., March 14.-Sec-
retary Lansing's reply to General Car
ranza's proposal, sent 10 American
Consul Silliman at Queretaro, late yes
terday, is as follows:
The governmen. of the United
States has received the courteous note
of Senior Acuna and has read with sat
isfaction his suggestion for reciprocal
privileges to the American and Mex
lean authorities in the pursuit and
apprehension of outlaws who infest
their respective territories lying along
the international boundary and who
are constant menace to the lives and
property of residents of that region.
The government of the United
States, in view of the unusual state of
affairs which has existed for some time
along the international boundary, and
earnestly desiring to cooperate with
the de facto government of Mexico to
suppress this state of lawlessness, of
which the recent attack on Columbus,
New Mexico, is a deplorable example,
and 10 insure peace and order in the
region contiguous TO the boundary be-
tween the two republics, readily grants
permission for military forces of the
de facto government of Mexico to cross
the international boundary in pursuit
of lawless bands of armed men, who
have entered Mexico from the United
States. committed outrages on Mexican
soil and fled into the United States, on
the understanding that the de facto
government of Mexico grants the re-
ciproCal privilege that the military
forces of the United States may pur-
sue across the international boundary
into Mexican territory lawless bands
of armed men who have entered the
United States from Mexico, COM
mitted outrages on American soil and
fed into Mexico.
The government of the United
States understands that in view of it's
agreement to this reciprocal arrange
ment proposed by the de facto gov
ernmant, the arrangement is now COM
plete and in force, and the reciprocal
privileges hereunder may accordingly
be exercised by either government
without further interchange of views
1T is a matter of sincere gratifica-
ton TO the government of the United
States that the de facto government
of Mexico has evinced so cordial and
friendly a spirit of cooperation in
the efforts of the authorities of the
United States to apprehend and punish
the bands of outlaws who seek refuge
beyond the international boundary in
the erroneous belief that the consti-
tuted authorities will resent any pur-

suit across the boundary by the forces
of the government whose citizens have
suffered by the crimes of the fugitives.
with the same spirit of cordial
friendship the government of the
United States will exercise the privi-
lege granted by the de facto govern
ment of Mexico in the hope and con-
fdent expectation that by their mutual
efforts 1awlessness will be eradicated
and peace and order maintained in the
territories of the United States and
Mexico contiguous to the International

MARCH BUILDING RECORD Is
BOOSTED AGAIN FOR S11.5OO

If the estimated cost of buildings
for which permits have been issued
during the first half of March may be
Il criterion for the whole month, then
the present month will break all pre-
vious March records. To date permits
totaling $91,650 have been issued. In
March, 1915, permits totaling $152,7 $50
were granted.
The record was swelled materially
to-day by the issue of a permit to
Charles Barnhart for the construction
of four 21a story brick dwellings,. 1904

The New Board Gets Busy
Whereupon the Board, headed by
President Loudermilch, got busy. Just
how well they succeeded was eX-
planned by Mr.. Wilson's comparisons:
on January 4, the inspectors re-
ported that under the reform" ad-
ministration of the Democrats, the
conditions at the almshouse are not
as satisfactory as they have been in
the past The plumbing has been al
lowed to get in bad repair and to-day
it is unsatisfactory; the toilets and
baths are in bad condition. We found
old newspapers strewn about and
considerable odor was noticed.
I'm many places in the male de-
partment, the plastering is cracked,

So much for what the inspection of
early in January revealed. Here is
what yesterdays visit developed:

LANSING ON VACATION

Washington, D. c., March 14.-Sec-
retary Lansing was on his way to
Pinehurst, n. c., to-day for a week s

tary has been working steadily in a
heavy pressure of diplomatic affairs

ity of many Sunday films WAS ques-
tionable 1t was suggested that
thorough investigation ef the zsitaa-
ton be made. The matter was finally
referred to a committee of three min
listers, with a layman from each
church to be appointed later.
Rev. A. A. Ebersole presented the
claims of a union Bible training
school, saying that one institution OF
the city always made him. envious,
and that was the splendid Bible train:
ing school conducted by Theodore
Richards at the Kawaiahao church,
where many young Chinese, Ha-
waiians and Japanese receive more
efficient training in the Bible and
methods Of Bible school instruction
than our own young people are receiv-
ing. Ebersole proposed to supple
ment the Sunday Bible school or the
three churches BY union week-d -
Bible institute, which would have a
union corps OF faculty and devote at
least one night a week to general
Bible study. The audience placed it.
self on record as indorsing the plan.
Minister Peters then spoke of the
alarming prevalence of the social
evil, saying that places Of i'll repute
we're being run in open violation of
the law, and warned mis- hearers that
unless public sentiment became
aroused dangerous legislation was like
ly to follow The matter was referred

ed to take up the matter OF Sunday
moving pictures. The audience also
promised it's hearty packing 10 the
committee.
The matter of reminding those at
present uninterested in any church by
mailing them material of religious in,
terest was discussed and it was felt
this might reach homes which the OF.
binary methods of publicity would not
touch. 49,.
The last suggestion was that "a

At the close of the meeting Rev.

Central Union, Methodist and
Christian Plan Launching
Of Broad Campaign

The series of six union prayer meet
ings which the Methodist, Christian
and Central Union churches have held
was brought to a close Wednesday
with a gathering in the Methodist
church. The topic chosen for the
summing-np meeting was appropriate,
Some Things We Should. Do To
gether." Pastor ID. Z. Peters of the
Christian church, who led the service.
stated that he felt there were many
problems of such enormous proper
ticns that they could be effectively
met only by cooperative effort. -.
The first proposition came from
Rev. L. L. Loofbourow, who said that
at the close of the Brown Curry meet
ings the pastors of the cooperating
churches had suggested religious
census of the city, a canvass to ascer-
tain the religious preference of the
English-speaking families of Honolulu,
and possibly later Of other nationali-
ties. In the discussion which followed
the advisability of such a plan was

present were in favor of the move.
ment and would back it with personal
labor A show of hands proved that
at least three-fourths of those present
could be counted upon to champion
the census. - ...- .--.-'.--
Mrs. j. T. Warren spoke in hearty
appreciation of the interesting series
OF union prayer meetings, suggesting
that they be made feature of the
summer seasn and that they should
be held perhaps once a month al
through the year She also suggested
occasional union socials to further
promote the spirit of fellowship An
other valuable suggestion of Mrs. War
ren's was that more should be done by
the churches to give the enlisted men
of the congregations a home feeline
while they are stationed in Honolulu
Others spoke appreciatiyely of tbs
union mid-week gatherings, but 1t was
ais stated that only about half as
many from the different congregations
attended the gatherings.
