PLACE BANANA
NATTER BEFORE
ship COMP ANIES
Two Concerns Refer Matter of
Sending Fruit in Foreign
Bottoms to S. F.

A J. Campbell, who is heavily in
terested in banana shipping, has tax.
en- up with the local Toyo Kisen
Kaista, Pacific Mail and Nederland
Royal Mail and Rotterdam Lloyd
steamship companies the matter OF
shipping bananas from Hawaii TO the
mainland in the vessels of these
lines when American bottoms are not
available. Two OF the companies. the
Pacific Mail and the Tcyo Risen
kaisha, have already referred Mr.
Campbelrs communications to their
San Francisco offices.
As announced recently in the Star.
Bulletin, the national food administra-
tion in Washington. ID. c., has given
local banana shippers permission to
ship their fruit to the coast in foreign
bottoms, but only in instances where
American bottoms are not available
The instructions say that all fines i'm
posed for the use of foreign bottoms
will be RENTED by the government.
1t is largely on the question Of the inn.
position and RENTING OF these fines
that Mr.. Campbell has written the
local agencies of the foreign n.eam.
ship companies.
Il believe the entire matter now
hinges on the question of cargo space.
and the amount the foreign steamers
can allow local banana shippers" says
Mr.. Campbell He adds that no bana
mas have yet been shipped under the
new ruling.

VIOLATION OF
HARBOR RULES
GROWS SERIOUS

n REAKING OF port regulations by
X vessels entering or leaving Homo
- luII hsrbor before sunrise or at
ter sunset has reached such a point
that the matter has been turned over
to the board Of harbor commissioners
for such action as they may see fit.
Correspondence from coast artillery
officers directly connected with the
coast defenses of Oahu is included in
a large assortment OF data flied with
the territorial body Several Of the
letters or kilograms recommend steps
by the harbor board looking toward
prosecution.
Included in the names of the vessels
are KiIauea. Claudine and Mauna Kea
Of the InterIsland fleet. the J. A. Gum
Minis and numerous sampans. As an
illustration OF how repeatedly the reg
uiations have been violated may he
cited the following from the official
reports:
On October Il. Sunday OF this week,
Sampans 24S, 10S and 223 and one un
numbered one are said TO have at
tempted to enter the harbor before
sunrise, were fired upon and turned
back.
On Saturday two other sampans are
reported to have made similar at
tempt, were likewise fired upon and
turned back.
On Friday three other sampans
made an attempt at entry at 525 in
the morning, and still another at 5:45.
They were fired upon and turned back.
On October s. according to the re-
port. the Kilauea passed No. ) buoy
at 5:35 in the morning. This was 20
minutes before sunrise. A week be-
fore the Mauna Kea was reported to
have come within the patrol lines even
longer before sunrise.
In a report submitted to Colonel
Wheeler on that date, Captain L. B.
Magruder states:
Repeated attempts at violation Of
harbor regulations in reference to the
entry and exit from Honolulu harbor
have been observed. These violations
are due, it is believed, to ignorance Of
orders issued and lack of knowledge
of exact time Of closing the harbor."
Captain Magruder adds that he
would recommend a day and night sig
nal system, which, il adopted, would
he given all possible publicity. The
British are said to use a system of
semaphores and lights for day and
night use.

FOUR ON GUARD
in NUUANU MAY
CARRY DISEASE

As precautionary measure
against possible further spread OF
typhoid fever four japanese in com
pany d. LIST Hawaiian Infantry, on
guard in Nuusnu valley oyer the
water supply we're taken off late yes
terday for further physical examina.
ton. Preliminary examinations had
shown that the four might be posi-
bic carriers or typhoid.
After a conference TODAY with DR..
J. S b. Pratt, president OF the board
Of health. Governor Pinkham said
that there is no cause for excitement
yet that the men are typhoid carriers.
and that even II they were precau-
tionary measures taken in the living
conditions Of the patrol in Nuuanu
would guard against their having
contaminated any of the watershed.
A carrier of typhoid is not neces-
sarily one who has the disease, IL is
stated. Rather IL is common for car.
riers to be apparently healthy per.
sons. Two of the four men removed
from the patrol were cooks, so for a
time last night the company com.
manders were rather hard pressed ~
know what they were going to do for
rations tl,is morning.
Sixty cases or suspected cases are
reported by word coming in from
Schofield Barracks. These are said
to be about evenly divided, 80 posi-.
tiVes and 30 suspects. Every pre-
caution is being taken to prevent the
spread OF the disease, il is said, and
the outbreak is believed to be we'll
under control. One death occurred
there yesterday, young Hawaiian
named George BENJAMIN.
A request for pass for a man TO
cross the Pail each day was received
this morning by the governor. The
writer forwarded his photograph with
the letter and urged action toward
granting his request as he works on
the town side and has wife and
seven kids" on the other side.

SCHOOLS MADE
GAMBLING DENS

The board Of supervisors will
meet at Z: 30 this evening when pub
lie hearing will be given to complaints
and suggestions from property own
ers along Laimi, Park and Puawa
roads, near the end of the car line
in Nuuanu valley.
Other routine matters Will be
brought up, and it is quite possible
that some discussion will be made of
the wrongful use OF school houses. A
complaint has been entered by A. X.
Vierra, superintendent of parks and
Fairgrounds, that the lanais of Mae.
mae and Pohukaina school houses,
particularly, are being used on Sat
urdays and Sundays for gambling
purposes. Passerbys at almost any
hour of the days named may stop and
enjoy, as witness, of course, q lively
game of craps in which boys and men
are increasing and decreasing their
supply of pocket money. Some ar.
rests have been made at the Pohukai.
ma school house, but the police claim
they have not had sufficient evidence
for convictions. This school house
has no fence, and there is nothing to
keep trespassers off the grounds.
Maemae school house has a good
fence, but In spite of this the gam.
bling goes on, and exciting games
of ball, played at the peril of win.
dows and other breakable things, are
played when there is no proper per.
son near to supervise such games. Il
is Mr.. Vierra's belief that these ball
games should be stopped, or some su.
pervision made Of the property while
they are in progress. It is also his
opinion that the use Of the lanais for
gambling purposes, or for friendly
games of chance in which grown.ups
should be prohibited by law.
Other school houses suffer in this
but so far Pohukaina and
Maemae seem to be the most popular
with this class Of joy-makers.

MANOA PROBE IS
Still IN THE AIR

So far nothing further has been
done in the probe of the Manoa roads
matter. The taxpayers charge that
an attempt to defraud them has been
made. particularly with regard to the
amount of asphalt used on this project
The contract called for two and q
quarter gallons of asphalt to the
square yard, and there has been put
down, according to the computations
made, only l.SS gallons to the square
yard. practically 20 per cent less than
the contract called for. The contract
ors report shows that he has put
down 2.29 gallons to the square yard.
which would be, OF course, a little
more than the specifications, but the
facts brought out by the Manoa peo-
pie in their investigation contradict
the engineers statement.
"A barrel of asphalt weighs. on an
average. 500 poands. and this weight
10 shown on the barrels used for this
work. In spite OF this the contractor
has estimated the amount of asphalt
used on the Manoa roads on a basis OF
600 pounds to the barrel. AS 2447
barrels were used, there has been an
oyer-estimate on the part of the con-
