Not to
Take His Cows
Back, He Says
Friends Of Chinese Dairyman
Propose to Purchase and Kill
Them as Safety Measure

T. F. Farm, owner of the dairy herd
in which anthrax first appeared on
this island, declared today that he will
decline to accept his cattle if they
are turned back to him by the board
of agriculture and forestry. The cat,
tie, valued at about 1000, are now
tNrraled on the beach near the quar-
antine station, where they were re-
moved prior TO the burning Of Farm S
dairy buildings and sheds in ManOa
Farm declares the cattle should be
killed to safeguard the public, belief
which he has adhered to since the
board of agriculture and forestry took
charge of the stock. He explained
that several Of his friends have come
to him and each offered to buy several
of the COWS and kill them. expressing
a willingness to take chance of be
ing reimbursed by the territorial gov
eminent. Other friends Of the dairy
men have suggested the circulation Of
a petition which would insure the pur
chase and slaughter of all the cattle
Farm says he faVOrs this plan, but is
waiting for further action by the board
of agriculture before reaching a final
decision. On the other hand, he says,
he is willing that the territory kill
his cattle, and that he would take his
chances on being reimbursed.
Il certainly have considered this
matter very seriously" he told the
Star-Bulletin today. If | take back
the cattle | cannot sell the milk. in
spite Of the recommendation Of the
department Of agriculture, as do not
believe anyone in Honolulu would
care to buy it, Some of my best
friends, people l have been doing
business with for twelve years, have
declined to take it. They are afraid
to.
Il do not feel that, under the cir
Cumstances, | could take the cattle
back. From T. business standpoint
there certainly are no bright prospects
for me | believe that the cattle
should DE killed to safeguard the pub
lie. hear that the anthrax baciIli is
difficult to destroy, that it may re-
main, apparently without discovery,
for years. 1t is impossible to thor
oughly wash a COW, and if my cows
are allowed to be taken away still
carrying anthrax bacilH. they are sure
to do damage if brought in contact
with immune cattle.
"Should I take back ny cows and
start a dairy it would cost me between
$4,000 and $J,r'" TO get the business
going and secure equipment. | would
be in constant danger az. Il anthrax
would break out in the herd again,

That Japan has no intention OF try

expressed opinion Of the writer.
There is a certain clique in China

all of Japan's intentions toward China.
No, the clique is not an organized one,
but sometimes it appears to be. SO
far as regards the famous demands
made on China by Japan over a year
ago, believe 1t was a miscue on
Japan's part, and that every one con-
nected with the occurrence wants to
forget the whole thing. Why? Be
cause it created i'll feeling in both
America and China, and Japan's fu-
ture depends on the worlds good will

SENATOR TO

f First Voyage Proves Salts
factory to Pacific Steamship
Company, Steamer viii Be
Kept on Regular Run to the
Islands, Information Cham
Der of Commerce Receives

TOR the possible establishment OF
a permanent steamship service be-
tween Honolulu and Seattle, the
steamship Senator Of the Pacific
Steamship Company will leave Seattle
August IL for Honolulu. according tc
a letter received by the chamber OF
commerce from the chamber Of COM
merce of Seattle. This Is the first
trip Of the Senator to the islands and
it is the intention of the company to
keep her on regularly II the initial
voyage proves satisfactory. The Sen
ator is we'll known along the Pacific
coast where she has been in the coast
wise service for a number Of years.
In all probability the Senator will
arrive at this port on or about Aug
ust Is. The date Of the return sail
ing has not been announced.
An article taken from the Seattle
Post Intelligencer says that the Sens-
tor will carry box shocks for the pine
apple factories and general merchau-
disc and that on the return voyage .
cargo of canned pineapples is PROM
ised.
The article follows:
"A direct passenger and freight Ger-
vice may be established between Be-
attic and Honolulu as the result vi TIE
experimental trip of the steamship
Senator, which is to be sent to the
Hamaiian port with passengers and
freight by the Pacific Steamship Com.
pany on August II.
THE officials Of the company, willis
reticent about announcing the start
ing OF a regular line OF vessels be-
tween Puget Sound and Hawaii, ad-
mitted last night that the Senator,
which is now being refitted at this
port, would make the August IL sail
ing for the Pacific isles, and that pas
Sengers would be booked for the voy-
age out Of this port. On the return
the Senator has cargo Of pineapple
products engaged, and more of the
island products are promised for flu
ture voyages, which is one of the rea-
sons giving rise to the probability of
the establishment of regular service.
Will Garry Box Shocks
"On the outward voyage the Sena-
tor will take full cargo Of box shocks
and general merchandise already con-
tracted for, and the demand for freight
space to the islands adds to the Iikeli-
hood of the Senator's forthcoming voy-
age proving the first of a regularly
established line. The Pacific Steam.
ship Company has had the matter Of
an offshore line under consideration
for several months, but no definite an
Of the actual inaugura-
ton of the service was expected until
the return of President H. F. Alexan-
der, who is now in Washington. Il
had been the intention of the company
to keep the Senator on the San Fran
cisco run opposite the steamship
Queen, but local freights for the Ha-
Waiians offered a more lucrative run"
Ever since the Matson steamers Hy.
AIDES and Hilonian were taken off the
Seattle to Honolulu run, the people Of
Seattle have been very DESTROYS Of
having a direct service. Several at
tempts have been made to have the
Watson steamers put back on the run,
hut the Matson officials stated that it
was impossible at this time.

That the disposition Of all cases OF

Star Bulletin today by members Of the

Among other things, members OF

Another assertion of the board is
that federal officials may not make

The Incomparable Juliusl

The Incompatible Juliusl
That's the sentiment around the
classes Of the National Service School
at the Mason House these days,
Julius Is IS and husky, and it's per-
fectly wonderful what the girls have
trained that boy 10 do. It's Just as
sure as shootin' that there isn't an
other such all-around man In the
II It's Monday, and class Of girls
are learning to make up beds with
patients in them, they send down
stairs for Julius. It's simply hopeless
to learn to make sick beds with DUN
mics in them, or with sticks. You
Just have to have a squirming human
being, and so they picked up Julius.
Julius has to put on paJamas and
crawl in bed and then a dozen sweet
young things learn to slip sheets un
der and over him SO he scarcely
knows they're doing it.
II it Is Tuesday. and the embryo
nurses are learning resuscitation,
Julius telephones home he won't feel
Ike eating much lunch. and then he
lays down on a board and the young
things start to pummel his ribs and
bis back and his chest. That lasts
most of the day.
Wednesday is one Of the easy days
for Julius.
On Wednesdays the young ladies
learn how to prevent a person from
fainting. The patient is supposed to
be on chair and feel the faint COM
ing on The nurse tits the chair back
ward on the floor so that the patient
has his feet higher than the head.
OF course each Of the young ladies
have TO learn the trick Of tilting the
chair back on the floor. Sometimes
the young ladies' do the trick success
fully and sometimes they don't.
When they don't do the trick, one
always chirps up
