prisoner and hostage in Berlin, and
the Berlin foreign office is attempting
to justify this last of German moves
by declaring that Germany's treat,

taliation for similar treatment given
to Count Won Bernstorff by the
American government
in a statement issued last night and
printed in the Handsblat of Amster-

the kaiser's government declared that
Germany regrets that it has been
found necessary to adopt such meas

which the government of the United
States has seen lit to adopt toward

HACKFELD& CO.
SAY N0LONGER
AGENTS Of ships
Health Department is Informed
Representative of Owners
Will Not Clean Up

Because Hackfeld & Company re-
| fuse to be considered further as
agents for the German merchantmen
in Honolulu harbor, and have so in
formed the health board in a letter
signed by F. w. Klebahn of the
shipping department, territorial SAM
tary inspectors with a dozen men
began this morning to clean these
ships and put them In sanitary con-
dition.
According to the order sent to the
firm yesterday, this work Is being
done at the expense OF Hackfeld &
Company as agents. DIR. ]. s. B.
Pratt today declined to discuss the
matter Of who win pay the bill, but
referred to the order of yesterday
and told an interviewer to draw his
own differences.
The letter from Mr.. Klebahn tells
us" said DIR. Pratt, that the United
States officials took charge of the
boats on February &; that at the time
they were not insanitary, and If they
have since become so IL is due to no
fault of theirs. It Is practically a
refusal to do the work ordered"
The sentiment expressed in this
letter is similar to that in a letter
sent on Wednesday to the harbor
board.
Mere fiction! This is the way in
which District Attorney s. C. Huber
today characterized the claim that
the vessels are under control of the
United States.
They are not now controlled by
us and never have BEEN" said Attor-
ney Huber, save for such police
control as was deemed necessary to
safeguard the harbor from their sink
ing or blowing up"
Deputy Attorney General Arthur
g. Smith, who has advised both the
harbor board and the board of health
since the question came up, agreed
fully with Attorney Huber's opinion.
I'VE as territorial officials are pro-
ceeding on the same theory as the
federal office" says Smith. Our
orders to clean the ships up yester-
day were given In that Sttitude"
Sanitary Engineer s. w. Tay and
Chief Inspector C.. Charlock were in
charge Of the force today which
cleaned the vessels. The Prinz Wal
demar was found in the worst condi-
tion-not the Pommern, as had been
expected. A. w. Hansen, food COM
missioner, condemned such decayed
food as was discovered. The refuse
was covered with lime and carted
away.
