"Doctor Howard also writes mo that

PAVING P1LIK1A
Transit Company tho supervisors adjourned
a meeting last night only to
como to a partial agreement over tho
King street paving Imbroglio in nbout
two minutes. Following tho meeting
of tho board of supervisors tonight
and a probable meeting of tho directors
of tho transit company, the full
paving sckemo for King street will
go forward, and tho legal end of it will
no longor havo tho effect of delaying
tho work.
Tho proposition broached to Manager
Ballentyne by Deputy Attorney-General
Smith two minutes after tho supervisors
had adjourned last night was to
havo the car company pave its tracks
under protest land it met with acceptance.
Whilo tho manager omphasized
that fact that ho wbb speaking only
for himself he felt sure, ho said, that
tho idea would bo agreeable, to tho
board of, directors of tho lines. Thero
wero two other clauses to tho agreement,
which., born in a minute, grow
at once to husky proportions. Thoy
wcro that tho company Teceivo a guarantee
that if tho United "States Supreme
Court decides against tho city, the supervisors
will reimburse tho company
for its expense, and tho second clause
is that tho same agreement will app'y
to all other streets that the supervisors
mav seek to improve as they ore now
attempting tQ improve King street.
Seeking Action.

of public works and Deputy
muu wore preooui.

the. transit, porapanyhroatenj,
ef,.tQ, canso by earryingthe fightrup
to thd United States ISupreme Court,
The fight, itself relates to the company
paving the streets between its track
as fast as tho supervisors provided for
pavement for tho outside ways. Tho
demand on tho company was based on
a clause in its franchise but it inter,
prets tho .clause otherwise than did the
government.
Tho meeting was prolific in hard
knocks for tho company. Superinten
dent Campbell stated that tho people
wero getting tired of abstract law questions
and wanted action and that tho
supervisors would be -unable to pavo
a single downtown street unless they
could foTco tho issue somehow or other.
Ho received little encouragement from
tho legal battery which Insisted that
they at least wait until tho territorial
supremo court renders its judgmont
tomorrow on tho agreed statements of
facts in which form tho controversy
has como before it. The idea which
bothered every bo Jy was tho company's
threat to carry it, higher.
Murray was even more emphatic, no
said that if thero was any way to get
back at tho rapid transit company "wo
want to do it," and wanted some one
to snap stop watches on tho cars on
tho downtown streets to prove them
exceeding tho speed limits if thero was
no other way to "get back" at them.
Low Wants to Fight.
Ebcn Low wanted them to fight for
tho forfeiture" of the company's franchise
on the basis of its refusal to pave
tho streets as the supervisors told it to.
Dwight presented a motion to leave
tho matter in tho hands of tho city attorney
and tho ways and means com
mittee, but tho motion died a natural
death as no one was able to figure out
cto tho ways and means committeo

rAMOUS LEPROSY BPEOIALI6T DE.
VELOP3 EXTENSION OF THE
"SNOW" TREATMENT.
Thnt leprosy is a disenso which manifests
itself within n very short' whilo
nffor contraction, instead of being ono
that dovclopos within tho system for
years befaro its offects becomo apparent,
is tlib now theory of Dr. J. T.
AVayson, medical superintendent of the
Kalihl Hospital, a theory based on tho
results of tho rqcCnt dlscovorles ro.
gardlng tho possibility of cultivating
leprous bacilli In cultures and applied
to tho cases of tho disoaso coming under
his supervision. This theory ,V if Its
correctness can bo demonstrated, immediately
knocks on tho head tho fig
ures advanced recently by Dr. Carl,
Ramus, ns his cstimato of tho number
of possiblo lepers at largo within the
Territory. Doctor Ramus based his cs
timato on tho genornlly accepted
that tho period of Incubation was
from four to seven years and arrived
at his totnls by multiplying tho number
of known lepers by four.
if ho liuti divided mat numuor uy
five, ho would havo given a nearly
result," says Doctor Wnyson, who
places tho poriod of incubation at u
few weeks. "If tho bacilli will develop
in cultures iu threo weeks, I do
not know why thoy should tnko vory
long to manifest themselves in tho human
system," ho said, yesterday,
"whilo ovcry physician hero who lias
examined loprous patients will ngrco
that many of thorn insist that disenso
came on suddenly in nn acute form.
Heretofore wo used to bcliovo that tho
Vinu& Jiwitwi, t Urn iKiJhii Imu)'jJ ' .1,1. !
ut tist'lk'ttt'tf fMiMIIHJ fljfhl '
intionts wero mistaken. Now, 1 Do
le vo that they wero correct,"
May Free Islands.
Doctor Wavson has nnothcr theory,
which ho believes will effectually clear
tho Islands of tho presenco or leprosy
within n period of between ten and fif
teen yenrs, if taken up by the- authorities.
Tho theory is that thero should
bo established somo board whoso duties
it shall bo to cducato tho Hawailans into
a confidence in board of health
mnthndn of treating incinieht lonrosy
andto bring boforo iho Hnwallans tho
vuluo to themselves and to their frlonds
of coming in for immediato treatmont
when thoy fcol themsolves victims of
tho malady.
"I boliovo wo should havo somo ono
traveling all tho time, nddrcssing meetings
of tho people all ovor tho
exhibiting lantern slidCB, explain
ing away fears and making plain how
much tho authorities wont to help and
how littlo they want to hurt tno
of tho Islands. Tho lecturer, or
adviser; should havo nothing to do with
M
of patients, but
tlio apprcnenuing
should simply work up confidence among
tho Ilawailans and tcacn tnem tno
for helping themselves nnd
their rnco. I boliovo, too, that we
should havo nn appraising board, ready
at any time to sot a price for condom,
nation on infectod buildings, which wo
should destroy as rapidly as wo can
find thom. I believe that if some Buch
thing as this could bo carried through
thero would bo no leprosy, except sporadic
cases, in any part of tho Territory
outsido of the Molokal settlement."

LEGAL QUIBBLING
LOS ANGELES, California, Juno 4.
Tho progress of tho trial of Clarence
S. Darrow, on trial horo for brjbory of
a juror in the fumous McNamara
caso indicates that tho attorneys
for Darrotv nro going to rest their
upon tho alleged fact that Barrow
offered to have .T. B. McNamara
coufess somo months prior to the arrest
of Bert Franklin on u charge of bribery.
According to a Htntonient made at
