sides two ladles.
It was a quarter to nlno before Dr.
Cooper called the meeting to order
nnd announced tho subject ot the even
ing discussion ns "Tho Sanitation of
Honolulu." Ho proceeded to open the
question by rending a paper. Honolulu
has natural conditions that should n
nblo It to bo made one of tho most
healthful of cities. Tho mortuary re
turns provo that It Is not. A system
ot water filtration should bo Installed
for, especially, tho portion of tho sup
ply coming from surfaco resources. It
was conceded thnt tho nrteslnn water
was free from deleterious properties.
Tho inauguration of n sowcrugc system
was about to bo accomplished, but the
pipes should be extended to rr.ich the
outlying sections of tho city. Crema
tion wns lccognlzed ns the most sani
tary mode ot disposal of tho dead, and
tho burning of bodies of victims of the
plague Illustrated tho necessity of hav
ing a regular crematory. Mention was
made of tho Impartiality ot tho pcstl
lenco In omltlng different races, and,
while tho blame for tho visitation
might not bo easily placed, the duty ot
tho whole community to guard against
n recurrence thereof was clear enough.
There must bo'iio exemption horc.ittcr
from strict sanitary Inspection.
Dr. Alvarez spoko ot the necessity
there would bo for n plentiful supply
of water for tho sanitary appliances
fitted to n sewerage system.
Dr. Emerson talked of the several

for property destroyed by fire or other
wise, tho trouble about getting work
dono fom scarcity of transpoitatlou
facilities, etc.
Dr. Taylor said It was found In S.in
Francisco that fealt water from the sea
wns better than fresh water for Hush
ing sewers.
Dr. Hodglns pinlsed tho maimer In
which tho chairman had opened tho
subject. Water filtration wns alt Im
portant. London used water from tho
Thames, ono of tho foulest of rivers,
making It puro by sand filtration.
Dr. Scaparono raised n doubt as to
tho accuracy ot reports from planta
tions on this Island giving tho causes
of deaths ns pneumonia and typhoid

post mortem examinations of all sus
picious cases.
Dr. Geo. A. Keller, assistant surgeon
of tho United States Army, attached
to the transport Westminster, told of
his dlsagrceablo surprise nt finding tho

"Tho dray camo from Kapalama across
the King strcot bridge. Lcsllo caught

horses turned, Leslie's horso was
caught and Leslie himself thrown to
the ground. The dray passed over his
leg and tho horses continued. Ah Fat's
hack was run into on King street and
tho horse badly Injured. I continued
after tho runaway and brought tho

No Honey for Speculation But Banks Have Sit
uation Well In Hand No Cause Tor Sell
ing Securities Under Scare Pressure.
The general slump In stocks and a
more conservative tone In banking cir
cles relatlvo to loans has caused nn
exaggerated Idea of local financial con
ditions to spread through tho town,
Albert Raas, ono of tho prominent
brokers of this city and San Francisco,
when seen by a Bulletin reporter took
a rather hopeful view of the situation.
"Of courso th esltuatlon here is se
rious ns n result of this pest," remark
ed Mr. Raas, "but thcro Is no dnngcr
of n panic or of suspended payments
as (tome alarmists havo suggested.
"The bankers of Honolulu have the
situation well In hnnd onjl they will
not allow panicky conditions to arise.
Money Is tight to bo sure nnd tho slump
In stocks Is unpleasant, but you will
find tho bankers will see tho thing
through all right. Every ono ot our"
banks is strong nt homo nnd nbroad
nnd nny possibility of n crash is not
thought of among sound business men.
"No money will be loaned for specu
lation. With this plaguo on hnnd tho
sltuntlon Is such that tho bank has u
right to ask Its customers 'what do you
want tho money for?' ,
"This is n community thnt Is easily
frightened nnd it is suicidal for holders
of securities to throw them on the mar
ket on account of a temporary fear.
The plantations aro here, tho cano Is
growing nnd tho prlco of sugar re
mains the same. The Intrinsic value Is
thcro and will Increase. It Is well to
bo cautious but thcro Is no cause to bo
frightened. Our futuic ot courso de
pends on checking the plague. Tho
Board of Health and authorities gene
rally are doing splendid work and havo
tho conddenso of tho community.
"By continuing on tho present con
servative lines there aro no particular
dangers to bo fcarod In the financial or
Industrial conditions."

men are sent out In squads of eight and

a guard that travels back and forth on the
trains. We have fifty men who have
volunteered for service.

Consider the Proposition.
Mr. Richardson, superintendent of
tho Pnhoa water works supplying the

nolo of tho emphatic sentiment of the
medical men on Saturday night, re
garding the absolute necessity of an
nmplo wnter supply for tho sanitary
purposes of-tthc city ns early as pos

Mr. Richardson gave n Bulletin re
porter n statement of what ho Is pro
pared to otier the community In tho
wny of additional wnter supply, say
ing: "It requires but one day In tho week
to supply our own present needs. Wo
could supply tho Government with
threo million gallons every twenty
four hours. Tho capacity of our plant
Is four million gallons n day. Analysis
by the government chemist shows It to
be tho purest water available.
"All that Is needed Is u plpo from
Knplolanl Park to our plpo line. Tho
Pnhoa water works would supply wa
ter at tho actual cost of pumping."
"Tho town Is now dependent on the
cBrctnnla street pumping plnnt alone
nnd n temporary break down would re
sult seriously."
Dr. Wood, President of tho Board ot
Health, had not heard of tho proposi
tion, but ho said: "I think It would be
very acceptable. You ought to Inter
view Andrew Brown about it. I
Alex. Young, Minister of tho Interior,
doubted If tho Knlmiikl plnnt bad the I
capacity stated. Ho said that tho prop-,
osltlou, If presented, would "havo to
bo talked over."

A Dangerous Practice.
Although the Infected buildings on
Kckniillko and King streets wero de

tho placo was so great that, even now,
great swarms of files hover over the
ruins nnd a fearful stench arises to
offend the tigses of passers by.

into clean steamers without being
landed In Honolulu.
Dr. Wood Reminds Citizens of Their Engage
ment Consldeiailon of Question by Plan
ters Atherton on Erection of Shacks.
"What Is to bo done with tho largo
number of people In quarantine when
released?" This question wns put to
somo citizens tills morning, nnd ans
wers were received ns follows:
Chas. M. Cooko "Thnt subject was
before tho Planters' Association tho
other day whether It would not be
wise to contract with these men nnd
send them to the plantations, many of
which need moro labor. But the trou
ble wrs thnt wo were so anxious about
no chance being taken ot sending the
plague to the other Islands that we (lid
not think it safe to advocate this plan.
Wo did not know whether tho peoplo
on the other Islands would nllow them
even to land from Honolulu. Rime
then we liuve had a meeting In which
wc passed a set of resolutions asking
the Bond of Health to retsrlct the ship
ment of freight to tho other Islands.
In view of these facts the only alterna
tive, to my mind, Is to employ what
peoplo wc enn here In Honolulu nnd
feed the remainder until such time ns
they can be set to work. What might
bo to tho ndvnntngc of the people nnd
government Is to press public Improve
ments hero lnipioving the streets nil
wo possibly can. The filtration plant
would take n large number of men."
Cecil Brown "I have not given tho
subject nny thought. I am not pre
pared to offer any suggestions nt pres
ent, but It Is n very Important point."
Theo. F. Lansing "Make them go to
work on the plantations, where they
belong."
.7. 11. Atherton "I think n tract of
land sny ono hundred ncrcs should
be scucrcd nt Knllhl, and barracks con
structed on It for accommodating ten
thousand people. Make tho placo
thoroughly sanitary, with nmplo spare,
between tho buildings. Keep tho peo
ple there for a month. Let their main
tenance come out of public funds up
to a million dollars. After that. If tho
necessity still exist, levy nssessments
on the citizens which prnctlcnlly
menus tho planters until nil danger
has passed. Thero Is another matter
that should bo dealt with. It Is nn out
rage to nllow such shacks as thnt go
ing up In King street, nt tho foot of
Alnpal. set down on the ground. I be
lieve Rowell has no power to Inter
fere, so long ns the letter of the law Is
observed, but the Board of Health
should hnve the power. People from
quurnntlno will crowd Into the places
right behind there. It does not neoni
wlso to let nil thoso people scatter
about the town."
Dr. C. 11. Wood, President of tho
Board of Health "It Is n matter Ilia
citizens will have to take charge of.
After tho Board of Health had decided
to destroy a large part of Chinatown, It
(onslclcrcd the question of responsi
bility for taking care of tho people who
would bo left without homes and places
of business. That Is what caused tho
Board to hesitate first, tho disposi
tion of tho people whllo under quaran
tine, nnd then, looking beyond, tho nd
ditlonul responsibility of housing nnd
caring for tho large population nftcr
that peiiod had cxplied. The matter
was discussed nt meetings of the Board
with citizens lu conference. On tho
last occasion the Bonid was given to
understand thnt It was tho Bonrd'a
business to provide for the sanitary
condition of Honolulu, nnd tho citizens
would iook out for tho sufferers. As
their quarantine terms expire tho peo
ple will bo restored to perfect liberty.
Somebody must see thnt they aro not
to bceomo a burden on tho community
or permitted to starve on tho streets.
It Is a proper time to notify tho com
munity that theso pcoplo aro to bo
thrown upon Its care. Besides somo
whoso terms will shortly expire, h
largo number moro will bo relensed
when tho period nt Knllhl expires."
