DAIRY WANTS TO KNOW
DISPOSITION OF CATTLE
AT QUARANTINE STATION

Although making no protest as yet
against moving the cattle to the quar-,
antine station at Ala Moana, the own,
ers Of the Farm dairy herd at Moiliili
in which anthrax recently became pre-
valent, have asked the board of agri-
culture and forestry what is to be
done with the cattle after they have
been at the station for three or four
days.
This question" says Charles S.
Judd, executive officer of the board,
has not yet been answered by the
board, and probably will not be until
the time comes to move the herd"
No date has been set for the removal
of the herd, as the station is now un-
dergoing repairs.
Mr.. Judd says that the board is op-
posed to the proposition that the Farm
hard be purchased, condemned and
killed to prevent further outbreaks of
ANTHRAX. The herd consists of about
100 cattle, and selling price Of $13,
600 has been set On it.
ITO buy the herd and kill the cattle
would be setting a precedent that we
might be compelled to follow. out on
the other islands," adds Mr.. Judd,
"and which might result in the killing
Of thousands of cattle. Such proce
dure is not carried out on the main.
land and we do not think it would be
advisable to follow ii out here"

C. OF C. BLANKS WILL NOT

AS a number of people in Honolulu
have confused the blanks issued some
time ago by the chamber of commerce
with the registration called for July

made the following statement:
There appears to be some little
confusion in Honolulu over a blank,

was circulated, some few weeks back,
through the chamber of commerce and
many persons have asked if that blank
met the requirements in the same
manner as registration and also If the
persons who executed blanks are ex-
empt from, registration on June 81.
Decidedly no.

ROADS IN ALEWA
TO Be REPAIRED

After many months of waiting the
property owners of Alewa Heights are
to have their roads improved.
This morning George Collins, city
and county engineer, gave orders for
the survey to begin and Fred Harvey
was on the job with his instruments.
The residents of Alewa Heights
have made many appeals to the board
Of supervisors to fix the roads and
have expressed their willingness to
pay for a frontage improvement.
1t is doubtful If any actual work
can be done until next year because
OF the scarcity of money in the citys
treasury, but all the steps up to, the
point of calling for bids are to be un-
dertaken in order that as soon as the
money is available the work can COM

year runs to June 80, 1918, the in

Attack On Editor
Expensive Luxury;
$50 Fine Imposed

An unprovoked attack on a news
paperman is held to be an expen-
sive luxury. according TO decision
rendered by Judge Irwin in the po-
lice court this morning.
Lum Tai, a former Chinese rice
planter, was charged with beating
up Hong Yak Lung, the editor OF
the Wah Hing 30, a Chinese news
paper, on River street on June %.
Robert Breckons acted as counsel
for the defendant and attempted TO
prove that the editor provoked the
alleged assault by splitting upon
Lum Tai.
This, however, was contradicted
and Judge Irwin held that the evil
dence showed the assault was un-
provoked and happened while the
editor was carrying a bundle OF
papers under both arms. He i'm
posed a fine of $50.
1t is likely that the case will be
appealed. Bert Lightfoot acted as
special prosecutor for the plaintiff.

bravely and then stopped lamely while
their drivers made repairs. One in

Of seven and one-half miles an hour.
His engine, carefully tested after the
