A Public Work to be Accomplished in
Return for provlson Made for Those
Out of Quarantine.
Hartman, the American Patient of
Last Night, Is Apparently Improving.
Other Cases of Yesterday.
The plan of putting to work those
whose quarantine In the detention
camps has expired and who have no
homes or means of livelihood, seems
about to be put In operation.
Some days ago A. L. C. Atkinson
presented a plan to President Wood for
a continuation of the ditch which car
ries the rainfall from the slopes of
Punchbowl through the grounds of the
North Pacific Institute and Kawalahao
seminary, so as to carry the water out
through Kewalo to the sea. On tne
authority of President Wood he put a
large number of men from the Kero
sene camp to work on a section of this
to see what could be accomplished.
This morning the Board of Health in
a body wont out to inspect it. 'xne
members were so Impressed with its
feasibility and utility, that it Is likely
the whole plan will be carried out.
It is claimed that there is fall enough
to carry the water all out to sea at low
tide and that It will prove surprisingly
effective drainage for S large part of
the low lying section through which It
runs as well as carrying away quickly
the flood waters from Punchbowl which
now, for want of an outlet spread out
below King street making that region
wet and muddy. It Is proposed that
where the ditch is cut through ruooisn
the excavated material shall be carried
cut to sea.
About 800 people from the Kerosene
warehouse completed their term of
quarantine yesterday and today. So
many of these are homeless that this
morning the Board of Health authorized-Superintendent
Atkinson to continue
to provide for all who needed such pro
vision until they could find means of
maintenance elsewhere.
It is proposed to put all of these who
are able to do the work, at work dig
ging this ditch in return for the pro
vision until they could find means of
maintenance, elsewhere. "
It Is proposed to put all of these who
are able to do the work, at work dig
ging this ditch In return for the pro
vision that Is made for them. It Is not
Intended that they shall work the
whole time for their board and lodging,
but that some work shall be required
as a consideration for the provision
made for them. In this way a public
work will be accomplished, and the
homeless will be provided for In a way
that will not encourage pauperism.
Tuesday Plague deaths, 0; plague
cases, 0; suspicious cases, 0.
There have been no alarming develop
ments in Board of Health circles to
day. Dr. Jobe had a call this morning
to see n case of pneumonia in Palama,
but nothing came of It. Dr. Peterson
and Dr. Garvin have had few calls and
none of them were suspicious.
Mr. Hartman, the watchman from the
Pantheon stables, is better. He ap
pears to be improving under the Pas
teur treatment and the Board Is very
hopeful that he will recover.
The Japanese at South street and
Kawalahao lane is still under surveil
lance, though no positive evidences of
plague have developed. This man work
ed at the Pantheon staples, wnicn is
the principal reason for his being
watched.
They Have Been In Quarantine Nearly
Two Months and Would Like to Land
on Other Islands.
The men on board the Island steam
ers are complaining a great deal about
the rule that forbids them to go ashore
at other ports than Honolulu. They
have been In quarantine on the vessels
J. H. Hartman, American, aged 35,
developed plague at an early hour last
night and was removed from his lodg
ings, 13 Punchbowl street, to the pest
hospital in Kakaako. He was night
watchman at the Pantheon stables and
had been ailing since Saturday. Dr.
Wayson was his physician. Late yes
terday Dr. Wayson called In Dr. Wood
and Dr. Taylor for consultation. The
case was adjudged plague and the pa
tient removed.
Soon after two doses of the plague
serum were Injected Into the man's
right thigh, the first dose about 10
o'clock and the second two hours later.
Mr. Hartman displayed unusual nerve
and coolness, and Impressed the physi
cians with the fact that he would be
able to combat the disease successfully.
Hartman Is a comparatively new man
In the country. He has been a horse
man for many years. His employment
here as night watchman gave him gen
eral supervision of animals, rigs and
harness for twelve hours and brqught
him directly In contact with the Infec
ted premises. He is said to nave visited
the neighborhood of the hay loft fre
quently.
ORDINARY DEATHS.
H. Otsuka, Japanese, aged 36, died
at the drill shed camp late yesterday
of beriberi. Dr. Hoglns attended him.
Sheduea, Japanese female baby, aged
one month, died during the afternoon
at Kalthl detention camp of cholera in
fantum. Post mortem was condUQted
by Di. Hoffman.

be considered free from danger of In
fection and to be given the privilege
of going ashore on Kauai, Maul, Ha
waii and other Islands. It Is stated that
the crew of one Island vessel went
ashore on Kauai last week and were
welcomed by their friends.
The island steamers are now carry
ing freight that Is loaded from vessels
In the harbor, and some machinery
from the wharves, to other Island ports.
The rules of the Board of Health allow
them to put the freight ashore but not
to step off the vessels themselves. Tne
men think that they are not more dan
gerous than the freight they handle.
At many places the people are quite
willing to have the steamer men come
ashore. The officers and crew of. the
IwalanI were Invited ashore at Laha-
Ina on their last trip, but would not
leave the vessel. On Kauai and Kona
and Kau the general opinion seems to
be that there Is no danger from the
quarantined men. Permission to go
ashore at the Island ports they visit
would greatly lessen the hardship of
the long quarantine for the officers and
crews of the vessels, but so far the
Board of .Health has held that It Is
dangerous for them to leave the ves
sels.

berths. The relief camp Is a model of
convenience and cleanliness and the In
mates are well fed. But the labor
bureau that Is being conducted In con
nection with the camp has adopted
rules that mean expulsion to all who
refuse to work. Anyone who is offered
a position and refuses It Is promptey
told that he must get out and look after
himself. So far about a hundred people
from detention camps have been pro
vided with places, and several haw
been turned out because they didn't
want places.
The people In the relief camp are
given freedom to go out of the camp
as they wish, presentaton of their
tickets at the gate being required be
fore they can return, so that Imposters
may be kept out. They live In rooms
that are lit by electricity, in six largn
buildings that have a total capacity
or about 700. To one person in each
room,a ticket Is given that enables him
or ner to uraw on tne commissary de
partment twice a day ror an in the
room. It is through the commissary
that those in charge of the camp are
able to reach the would-be grafters.
Last night a young Japanese who had
been offered a place as yard boy re
turned and said that he couldn't take
the place. It was his second experience
of the kind. The lady who had sent for
him was willing to employ him. His
commissary supplies were shut off and
ticket of admission to ,the camp was
taken away, and now he Is outside
looking for a place on his own hook.
A cook who was offered a place yester
day and refused to take It because the
prospective employer would not begin,
without trying him, at $6.00 a week
with board and room, was about to
meet with a similar experience, but this
morning a lady engaged him at $5.50
and he decided to go.
The only exceptions to the rule that
positions offered at reasonable terms
must be taken are In the cases of men
who were In business for themeslves
before euarantlne.. These are given
reasonable time In which to start aguln
if they, are trying to do so. Those who

Y. M. C. A.
Extra precautions are being taken
today by neighboring merchants to pre
vent a spread of the Ilames In case
there Is high wind. Colonel McCarthy
has the best arrangements. This morn
ing he had Lucas Bros, begin the con
struction lfrfront of his place, well out
Into the street of a corrugated iron wall
extending to the height of his build
ing. This will undoubtedly prove an
'effective barrier as It will thoroughly
close off the heat. The Kash, at the
corner of Hotel and Fort, will have a
board fence and will keep It wet con
stantly. Benson, Smith & Company,
Sachs Dry Goods Company and the Ar
lington have arranged to have hose on
the tops of their buildings.
On the west side of Hotel, opposite
Roach's barber shop, precautions have
also been taken. Falrchlld and Lewis
& Company have Iron, fireproof shut
ters to their doors and windows. The
Hub, a furnishing goods establishment
has placed a corrugated Iron wall over
its front. The two Chinese shops next
door, toward Bethel, have tin and
wooden fronts.
It Is expected that the precautions
will prevent the escape of the flames
out of the immediate district to be
burned. Of course being In a thick
business community the Job will be a
hard one, though Chief Hunt Is quite
confident of success in stopping the
flames at the designated places. All of
the engines of the fire department will
be on hand and will have out a full
quota of hose

Why was the British bark Holywood
reinsured In San Francisco? This Is a
question that Is puzzling Captain Mc
Cauley, as well as others on the water
front. The bark had a fairly good trip
and was spoken on this side of the
Atlantic. But for some rough weather
encountered at the Horn and a severe
whirlwind before she reached the Horn.
tho Holywood had an uneventful trip.
but Captain McCauley arrived here to
find that ten per cent was being paid
on his vessel in San Francisco. It was
another gamble with the "to anlve"
end winning.
Tho marine reinsurance business has
been very active lately In San Francis
co, with the men who play the vessels
to go down as losers. The Charles E.
Moody wa3 the heaviest recent gamble.
Because she turned from a calm on her
way to the Horn and headed for Hono
lulu by way of the Cape of Good Hope,
ftom Norfolk, Virginia, the reinsurers
had her among the missing. Reinsur
ance went as high as forty per cent andV
then the Moody, safe and sound, Bailed
into Honolulu harbor and those who
had paid the rates lost about half her
value. The Moody was nearly two
hundred days out from Norfolk and had
never been spoken on the way.
The Holywood left Antwerp on July
28th last and arrived here In a little
over 160 days. She was spoken off
Staten Island and made the Horn In 112
days. Eight days were spent In sight
or tne Horn, hauling with the Iwavy-
eather there. From thr? Horn l D the
bark had sixty days of easy silling.
ne whirlwind came on the 2ith oc
August. It only struck thf gait top
sail and this was torn to shreds In a
tew moments.
The reinsurance is no loss to the cap
tain or owners of the vessel, unless the
latter want to play the game. Captains
o not like to be posted as missing hew-
ever, when there is no cause for It. The
business is general throughout th
world. It Is about the same as placing
bets on whether a vessel will arrive or
not.,Captain McCauley recalls an In
stance In which a vessel came In after
95 per cent had- been paid on her. The
game Is open to all outsiders who want
to play It, and frequently results In
some big hauls.

ine nearing of the case was delayed
some time awaiting the arrival of S.
M.. Ballou, the complaining witness, for
whom also a subpoena was Issued. He
did not put in appearance however
and the case went to trial without him.
Fred, Leslie, a sub-Inspector testified
that his apana at first contained 250
people. At Mow Chow's store on Kintr
street near the tramcar barns where
me aeiendants were afterwards found,
Mow Chow gave him the names of only
iwu uuiers oesioe nimseir as residing
there, and the defendants' names were
not among them. There was at the
time, however, a number of other Chi
nese In the store whom he understood
were merely customers and not res!.
dents there and he did not take their
names. Afterwards the apana was
divided and Jesse Makainal took the
part of the apana In which Mow Chow's
storo is" located. He found the three
men residing there, though their names
were not On the list that had been eiven
him. He reported this fact through tho
Inspector of the district, W. C. Achi, to
the sanitary committee. Thereupon S.
M. Ballou swore out the warrant for
tneir arrest.
The testimony all showed that the,
three defendants worked for the tram-
car company and had been living at
Mow Chow's for many months.
