diy, private secretary to tiio president,
mid Chas. Wilcox, secretary of tho
Board,
Upon tho rending of the report of the
committee on comma ce, n short dis
cussion resulted In Its amendment to
tho form appearing In that afternoons
nullctln.
Dr. Wood, In tho discussion, read a
report of the bacteriologist on fumiga
tion experiments. Bacilli exposed were
killed by the hot nlr process tho samo
us by sulphur. Those In tubes placed
In tho interior of merchandise) wcro not
destroyed. So far as efTlcleucy was
concerned tho hot nlr ns no better
than sulphur, but had the advantage In
time of ono hour against 3G hours. If,
In tho proposal to permit tho shipment
of flour and feed, It was Intended to
cleanse only tho outsldo of tho pack
ages, tho fumigation would bo suffi
cient. The Hoard should not do un
reasonable things. Yet it should do
nothing blindly. Thcro was very little
danger from goods. If It could bo ab
solutely regulated tho removal of re
strictions on 11 great many classes of
merchandise would ho a wlso thing,
but It was utterly Impossible. Pcoplo
would not look beyond their pockets.
Until they wero absolutely suro the
danger was past they could not thiow
down the bars. Merchants were show
ing Indisposition to use the quaran
tine wharf under tho Impression that
everything was gains to be thrown
wldo open, because It was a little more
trouble and a little morn expense. It
nfter tho commlttco know tho results
of hot nlr fumigation they allowed
shipments so treated he had nothing
more to sny.
In answer to Mr. Cooper, tho presi
dent snld thltty days after tho last
ense would be better than ten days for
raising tho quarantine, sixty days bet
ter than thirty and a year better than
sixty days. The recent cases did not
influence tho question ot merchandise.
It was a matter of lurking infection.
Mr. Smith nsked if It woulil make
fumigation more effective to separate
the bags ot flour or bran with strips
of wood or iron no as to allow the hot
nlr to circulate. This need not bo
put In tho report, but tho commltteo
could have It carried out. It was
known that stock was suffering for
feed on tho other Islands.
Dr. Wood said shipments would ho
safo If Mnefarlano's Ideas were adopt
ed. Mr. Smith knew that, but favor
could not bo shown to ono firm that
happened to havo special facilities for
such treatment of goods. Ho nfovtd
to strike out tho last paragraph of
tho report which extended tho list ot
permitted goods, this after consulting
with tho other members of tho com
mittee. Dr. Emerson seconded tho mo
tion, which passed without dissent.
Dr. Wood spoke of tho rush of peo
ple to tako tho serum Injection so that
they might travel. This condition late
ly prescribed took no nccount of per
sonal effects. It was Impossible for tho
Hoard to do wholesalo disinfection of
baggage. This was tho difficulty they
wcro running against. To follow up
people In detention would cause con
siderable expenso when necessary
housing, feeding and transportation
were Included. Many who hnd taken
tho Injection wero from detention
camps, largely of tho classes among
which plague was most likely to break
out. Ho Know It was unsafo to let
theso peoplo travel unless their bag
gago and clothing were disinfected by
iim Board's own nlant.
Dr. Emerson said It was nor, mo
Hoard's nffnlr In ono sense, yet If they
did not do It tho peoplo on tho other
islands would not bo satisfied.
Dr. Wood continued that If thcro was
any danger outsldo of emnnatlons fiom
tho human body, It was from rats and
peisonal efTects.
Mr. Cooper considered that having
nnuouneed that taking tho serum quali
fied for going nway, they must see tho
thing through in thorough manner.
Dr. Wood stated that tho Injection
simply was to bo understood as sav
ing time of quarantine, but tho neces
sity ot being unexposed and of having
personal effects fumigated should bo
stilctly required. It would only bo
necessary to add to tho former reso
lution tho words, "after disinfection of
nil clothing and personal effects under
supervision of tho Hoaul of Health.
Mr. Cooper moved, seconded by Dr.
Kraeison and It was ordered tnat such
was tho sense of tho Board.
Mess. s. J. H. Athcrton. 0. M. Cooko
-.i m nnin Walker, flnanco commlt
tco for tho Hoard, requested to bo re
lieved from duty at tho end of this
month. Action was defeircd.
Tho samo commltteo recommended
,... ,,,. nf detention camp equip
ments If thcro was a chanco of their
being needed again, otherwise to havo
them sold for tho benefit of plaguo sup
pression funds.
Wm Norton wanted permission to
send n number of mules for plantation
f.,rb nv..r tho Pall. C. Holto asked n
similar privilege for himself and an
other for tho Knneoho Ranch Co. re
garding horses. All of tho animals had
been in pasturo away from town. Dr.
Wood remarked that this was u har
vest from ono prlvllego of tho samo
kind granted tho other day. The re
quests wcio compiled with by vote, on
tno uudciuuiiimjig that conditions in
tho lit st case wcio observed..
J. P. Miiidunca, who hail Inltcu tho
serum, dislred llbcity to go to Wnla
lua, thcute to ICancohe and stay there.
Ills case comes under tha condition ot
tiavel tilrcatty modilled at thl.) sjsjIuii.
Mr. Cooper suggested that rcstilu
tinns might bo lemoved un this Island.
Mr. Lowrey said that Dr. Cnr
mlchacl, sutgeon of U. S. Mnrine Hos
pital, had Intimated that such action
would affect sugars from this Island.
Dr. Wood remarked that It was easy
to hold things down firmly to ono
place, but very hard to control matters
when once cased up. Ho presented a
petition from n great many merchants
and shipping firms for icmovlng re-
strlctlons from American and Euro
pean goods. This question hnd, how
ever, been settled by the adoption of
tho report from the committee on commerce.
At this Btago Dr. Wood dcllvcicd nn
address on sanitation, .1 report 01
which Is deferred.
Mr. Smith, Just before tho meetlnr
adjourned at 4:33, moved tho followln
resolution, which was adopted:
"That shipments of Hour, feed, grali
and other provender bo pel milled 01
Bpcelal permits only, and that pcrmlu
be Issued only an presentation of gooc
cvldenro thnt such articles nrc ttrgentlj

Wednesday, Mnich 2S.
Dr. Ernest WatcrhoiiM who arrived
hero on tho last Australia, put In nn
application to tho Huaid ot Health
yesterday for a license to practice
mcdlclno In tho Hawaiian Islands.
Dr. Wntcrhouso Is 11 graduate of
Princeton, New York College of Phyrl
slans nnd Surgeons and has also spent
two years In hospital work In St.
Luke's Hospltnl In New York city.
Surgery Is tho doctur'e particular
branch, as ho acquired u great amount
of experlcnco In thti In his hospital ,
work.
Tho application was favorably acted
upon by tho Hoard nnd will submit It to
the Minister of tho Interior at tho
earliest possiblo day
A very peculiar circumstance una
been brought to light iwcntly by Dr j
Wood in his efforts to learn the exiu-t 1
causes of "unattended death n cnseM
dated from tho time the plaguo broko
out.
Death certificates of 'ho moo' un
satlsfactoiy nature have been found.
In cases whero patients havo died un
attended It Is customary to hold a post
mortem. In many cases of this kind
simply outward examination wrro
made. In ono cam tho -attending phy
sician stated that doatli was caused
by stomach troubles; this was unsatis
factory and ho wns nsked t3 mako It
mora definite, ho then ntnlcd lluit tho
cause of death was upa.ilexy. Swing
no connection between simple stomach
trouble nnd apoplexy n post mortem
was held and tho real cause of death
wns found to bo typhol I malarial fe
ver.
This, Dr. Wood stated, was danger
ous to tho community In which tho
deaths occurred. It wis argued by the
Hoard that all case3 where a physician
hud not been In attendance that tho
Board should seo thnt a thorough post
mortem tako placo under tho super
vision of tho Hoard.
At tho meeting of tho Hoard of
Health yesterday a number of com
plaints wcro mado and discussed. The
complaints wcro to tho effect that peo
ple, of somo ot tha other lslnnds had
exhausted their supplb-s of flour, ce
reals and canned provisions.
Beforo reading tho complalntu Presi
dent Wood stated tim tho merchants
wero Bhunnlng the uso of quarantlno
wharf. If this wharf nnd tho i emula
tions for tho uso of It wi-io In tho fu
ture Ignored tho Board would neces
sarily restrict certain shipments.
It was agreed by thy Hoard that nil
foodstuffs that could bo fumigated
without Injury could be shipped to nil
other Islands.
It was decided by tho Hoard of
Health at yesterday's meeting to tick
the Council of State for impropriations
and to placo beforo Hint body plans and
specifications ror a city rr-orguo. ur.
Emerson, who has dono considerable
post mortem examining rilutcd that In
certain Instances operations had to bo
dono under very Inconvenient circum
stances, dangerous to the health of tho
general public, all for the want ot a
suitable) morguo. This matter will bo
presented to tho Council of State at
tho earliest tlmo possible.
Applications to ship Inter-Islund
freight that Is being discharged
from ships nlongsldo the wharves was
nbkcil for at tho Hoard of Health Hurt
ing nnd granted to tin Union Feed Co..
Washington I'ee.l Co., McChesney It
h'nns and tho Von Hamm-Young Co.,
conditionally; that theso goods should
not remain on tho whauvs over nlsht
and that they bo fumlgnted In the hot
air chambers nt tho Honolulu Iron
Works. Merchandlso that cannot bo
handled In that manner will not bo
allowed to bo shipped.
Friday, March 30.
Hills wero considered yesterday by
tho Hoard of Health from Attorneys
Robertson & Wilder for rcvlcwlns and
appraising claims. They gave their
tlmo from January JlJt to March 1!1
doing work of a legnl character for
tho Board. They havo mado liOO ap
praisements aggregating $150') for
which claims amounting to $14,000
woro put In by tho owners The Board
considered tho woik well dono and
granted tho bill of 800. '
Dr. C. U. Wood will offer his resigna
tion to tho Hoard of Health, to tako
effect on April 1st. Tho doctor stales
that his prlvnto business Is sulfrlng
and that ho could no longer neglect
It as ho has In tho U3t threo months.
Ho will bo willing to act aa n nu.mUnr
but not as thotr official head. Mr.
Hatch was appointed to naino a com
mlttco to appoint a new President of

which stimulated th? Health Hoard
to immediate action, and from theso It
Is feared a number o! other deaths will
soon follow. While tho authorities do
not claim that tho Uuoonlo plague has
lifted Its head or broken out under
cover, they do claim tnat tho lll.'h an. I
poor sanitary conditions of the district
havo caused an epldv-n'li nmoug the
Chlncso which may any day develop
Into the plague nnd bacomn wide
spread. In tho threo cases mentioned
tho causo of death has not been defi
nitely known, nnd tho authorities In
timate that It may be tho plaguo In u
mild form. It Is thli state of affairs
which has led to the campaign cgalnst
nnclcanllnessr and Ftngnutlon In tho
houses nnd streets of the' Oriental dis
trict. Glands from the three subjects which
havo now puzzled the nuthoiltles arc
under examination, but no positive ver

that the cases aro those of bubonic
plague.
San Francisco, March 22. Tho

led by an army of men who are having
Its dirt and filth rcmovrd as fan ns

Dr. Taylor was asked wils afternoon
If ho had received any special Infor
