Delay on the part OF Supervisor
William AHA, chairman, in calling a

the board to remedy the situation may
result in an outbreak of the dreaded
disease in the city, in the opinion OF
many doctors and physicians. lmme-
date action in the matter is needed,
according to the other members OF
the health committee and other men,

Since the joint meeting last Satur-
the board of health, no action has been
taken although four courses were out
lined at that time which included the
cleaning out Of Reservoirs Nos. J., 2

nation plant, securing detail of sol
diers to guard the watershed and the
sending of notices to residents of the
upper levels of the city who use the

the money.
Schirmann's first question when
they met was whether he had sent
the letters, as promised.
The officer lied and said that he
had done so. The German stated
that he could not make the payment
that night, but that he would pay him
the following evening. Schirmann
never showed up, however. The Of
flcer accordingly kept the letters.
One of the two missives-both were
turned over to the local department
contained a letter to Schirmann's
parents and had no significance in
the plot .....
The other, however, was addressed
to ANY German consulate in ,Hol-
land and in substance was as fol-

Schirmann stated that he was send
ing the communication by what he
considered a safe way. He said 1t
was reported that the draft bill had
provoked a bloody conflict in Okla
homa and that most of the people IN
America were against the war.
Then Schirmann added that if COM
mulication between Honolulu and
San Francisco could be broken the
result would have great effect -detri-
mental to commerce in America and
elsewhere. Many steamers, includs
ing the Matson Navigation company
boats and Japanese transpacific lin
ers we're in the service, he said. The
German suggested he could do a great
deal toward breaking up the communi-
cation if he had more money.
Il burn with the desire of render
ing a service to my Fatherland," he
concluded, but caution is ordered.
Local officials cabled their informa-
ton as gained from the Dutch Of
ficer and the letters he carried, to
District Attorney John w. Preston

nabbed BY officers on the strength of
it.
The feeling was expressed today
that San Francisco may have over

The officer was in possession of two
