How the Day Happened.
You've heard how the 18th Of
March came TO be celebrated as the
saints birthday? Well, long ago in
Ireland they had controversy as to
whether St. Patrick was born on the
Sth or the 9th. Shillalahs were WELD
ed and many a head was cracked,
until Father Mulcahy happily induced
the people to combine the two dates
and make the 18th the proper day.
As matter of fact, the day and
even the exact year of the saints birth
are not known. Nor is the place Of
his birth known. Scotland. Ireland,

The tariffs had fixed the charge

blind Pigs" too, FIourishing
Since Liquor Sales to Army
Men Were Tabued

ITO adequately enforce the law
prohibiting the selling Of liquor to
military men in uniform, it would be
necessary to have two men stationed
at the door Of every saloon in the
CITY," said U. s. Marshal J. j. Smiddy
today, speaking Of tine activity Of the
wine buns" who are believed to be
negotiating extensive liquor sales to
men in khaki.
AS regards the saloons themselves
Marshal Smiddy believes they are ad
herring strictly to the law, but it is thu
go-betweens, he says, who are going
to make all the trouble.
Il have information" he continued
that blind pigs are now ordering
booze in large quantities either from
saloons or wholesale houses. When
these places find that the saloons will
not deliver, they engage chauffeurs t.
get it for them. l am also informed
that the saloons are selling consider
able booze to civilians who, in the
past, have never had money enough
to buy more than one or two drinks.
Since the enforcement of the new
federal law, says the marshal, the
wine buns" have become suddenly
important.
They are appearing on the streets
in clean clothes, shirts and collars
and some Of them are even Boosting
baths" he declares. They are ever
rafting loose change in pockets that
were practically empty before"
On Saturday evening Marshal Smid
dy watched for an hour or more the
entrance Of a local rooming house sit,
uated near army headquarters.
Il have good reason to believe" he
says, that a large number Of soldiers
went into the rooms there, changed
into civilian clothes and then, went
out and bought drinks or else brought
booze back with them. Soldiers were
rolling in and out Of the place all the
while l was there and the air around
the place was thick with boisterouS
laughing and talking"
adj omIddy says he made no
arrests for the reason that what VIC
lations there were were purely matters
for army Headquarters to attend to-
He adds that, under the circumstances,
he had no authority to make any
arrests.
P. Rodrigues, who, with another
man, was arrested recently on a charge
Of selling liquor to soldiers, was to
have a preliminary hearing this after
noon before U. S. Commissioner
George S. Curry.

TRAVEL CHARGES
fORCECHURCH
TO CUT PROGRAM

The high cost of living which has
struck a hard blow at many persons
and organizations in the territory, has
found a brand new target. This time
it is. the Hawaiian Evangelical Asso
citation.
Because Of the high price Of food
stuffs, as we'll as transportation, the
95th annual meeting Of the associa-
ton In Honolulu from June 26 to June
20 is going to be unusually small, and
some of the interesting features
which have made former conventions
suspicious are to be discontinued this
year.
In the first place the session will
last four instead Of seven days. Be-
cause the transportation charges to
Honolulu from the other islands will
be reduced only one-fourth instead OF
one-half, only about $50 persons are
expected to attend instead of the Gus
tomary 300 or 400.
The Christian Endeavor and Sunday
School annual meetings, which have
always been held in conjunction with
the big convention, will be dispensed
with this year, and the annual inter
island song contest, always an enthu
siastic climax to the session, will not
be held. The usua big luau to the
delegates will be lacking and even
the program will be. cut down mate
rally.
The business to De conducted will
be only that pertaining to the corpora
ton or board. The usual reports of
the church will not be presented or
considered. On the first afternoon the
Hawaii and Maui associations will
meet, and in the evening the Anti
Saloon League will hold its annual
meeting in Kawaiahao church.
A portion of the time will be devot-
ed to inspirational addresses and a
discussion Of live topics pertaining to
the welfare Of the churches. Some of
these topics follow:
The Christian in the Home" Rev.
E. G. da Silva; The Christian in Bus
iness," Rev. George E. Lake; The

RANCH MANAGER
LAYSDISCHARGE
|. TO DIR. NORGAARD
!. Leonard Parish Says Veterin.
arian Made Trouble Over
Anthrax Outbreak

Following what he declares was an
assertion by DR.. Victor A. Norgaard,
territorial veterinarian. that his ser.
vices should not be retained, Leonard
Parish has resigned as manager of
the Princeyille plantation, Kauai. 81
Parish asserts that the entire
trouble grew out Of visit DR.. Nor
gard made 10 Kauai TO investigate
the anthrax outbreak. He says that
when several cases Of the disease
were discovered on the plantation, he
Immediately wrote to Norgasrd asking
him 20 come to Kauai Immediately.
THE trouble first arose when Nor
gard, answering my letter. upbraided
me for not wirelessing him." says
P-rish. Gin spite OF the fact that he
must have known that the inter-island
wireless service was not working at
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-06-18

burning of the carcasses and other
work.
Naturally l thought that since Nor
gard was there he had taken com
plete charge and that the affair was
out of my hands," says Parish. After
what Isenberg told me, there was
nothing left for me to do but to quit. "
Asked today II he thought the an
thrax outbreak on Kauai was due to
bone meal shipped there from Aus
tralia, Parish said he is not certain.
He said the plantation had used bone
meal to mix with salt for the cattle
ticks.
Il do not know whether Norgaard
analysed a sample of the bone meal, "
he continued, and l am not certain
where the last shipment of bone meal
! came from. We laid the outbreak
to the cold and heavy rains, and had
the cattle moved down, which lessen
ed the number of deaths to some ex-
tent.
"Glaizyer had diagnosed the dis
ease as something entirely different
until Jay Kuhns, former inferno at
local hospital, made a microscopic
examination of some blood, and then
we all knew that it was anthrax. >
Parish says the outbreak OF an
thrax in Honolulu was decidedly sus-
picious because Of the suddenness
with which it occurred. The outbreak
on Kauai, he says, came slowly, with
only a few deaths at first.
