ROTTEN FOOD STORY

CHAMBER
OP COMMERCE CON
SIDERS THE "WISDOM OF REFUT
ING THE ASPERSIONS CAST ON
THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
The statements of Delegate Wilcox
before- the Senatorial Commission
charging the Board of Health with
Bending shopworn goods and rotten eal
snon to the lepers at the settlement, to
gether with the repetition of these
charges more In detail brought out by
Ex-Judge Humphreys' cross examina
tion of the delegate, wore considered by
the Chamber of Commerce this morning
at lt3 monthly meeting. A resolutto-.i
was' adopted branding the statements
a falsehoods and libels both on the
Board of Health and the merchants of
Honolulu, and expressing the confidence
of the Chamber of Commerce in presi
dent. Sloeeett of the Board of Health
nnd- ln the membership and adminis
tration of the Board.
The matter was brought up by H. A.
Isenberg. He called attention to the
statements, and moved that the Cham
ber of Commerce exnress Its entire con
flation In President Sloggett of the
Board of Health, and In his adminis
tration of the leper settlement, and ex
pressing the hope that he would long
retain his position as a member and
president of the board.
Mr. Isenberg spoke quite strongly of
how keenly Dr. Sloggett felt these falsa
atatements rcllectlng, If they were true
bo strongly both on him as a man and
on his administration as an ofllclal. He
felt that the Chamber of Commerce
ought to put itself on record as refut
ing these statements and supporting
President Sloggett.
J. A. McCandless said that these
, statements were not only a reflection on
'.the Board of Health and Its president
Jbut on the merchants of Honolulu who
supply the goods furnished by the board
. Ho therefore moved as a suostuute lor
the motion of Mr. Isenberg the fol
lowing: 1 "That a committee of three be ap
pointed to refute the.chaTges made be
jiumieu iu iciuie iiictiioihcn
ffore the Senatorial Committee against
the Board of Health and the Merchants
of Honolulu."
It was suggested that this did not ex
press the confidence of the Chamber 01
Commerce In President Sloggett. Mr.
McCandless said an expressslon of con
fldence'mlght be added. W. M. Glffard
seconded Mr. McCandless motion to get
it before the Chamber for debate. In
the course of the debate on this sub
ject C. M. Cooke stated that Immedia
tely following the statements of Dele
gate Wilcox on this subject before the
commission a letter In refutation had
been prepared and presented to W. G.
Irwin, president of the Chamber of
Commerce for his signature as presi
dent to be filed with the commission.
This letter set out that all supplies for
the settlement were furnished to the
"board on tenders advertised for, and
other matters going to mako it eltur
that the charges could not be true. Mr.
Irwin however doubted his right to sign
it as president of the chamber, the
matter' never liavlng come before the
Chamber and no action by It ever hav
ing heen taken. F. W. MacfarUine pre.
sldent of the Merchants' Association
was then asked to sign It and .prnsor.t
it as the presldenfof that organization
hut' he took the same view of it ns Mr.
Irwin had. For these reasons and the
fact that the Commission concludes Us
hearings before meetings of the Cham
her of Commerce or the Merchants'
Association could be called, no refu
tation of the charges complained of had
ever been presented to the commission.
Secretary Spencer asked If anyon"
other than Delegate Wilcox had mide
the. charges before the Commissioners.
W. W. Harris replied that his rejpllec.
tlon was that Wilcox alone had made
the charges, but that they had been
reiterated, emphasized, and been mnd?
more Jn detail -by the cross examination
of Wilcox by Ex-Judge Humphreys.
Mr. Isenberg said he was satisfied
with Mr. McCandless motion If to 11
were added an expression of confidence
In Dri Sloggett. This Mr. McCandleBS
eald he was willing should be added,
and the matter would probably navtf

DIAMONDS AND PEARLS BROUGHT
FROM COLONIES WITHOUT PAY.
. ING TRIBUTE TO UNCLE SAM.
The police have reason to believe thnt
exetenslve diamond and pearl smug
gling Is being done In these islands
The precious stones are being brought
Into this port by way of the Sydney
steamships. So far as Is known now
there is but one person engaged In the
work. It Is possible however that lie
may have others assisting him
"There has been extensive smuggling
of diamonds and pearls Into this port
for some time past" said a well known
police ofllcer today. "The game has
been highly successful and from what
I can learn, the man who Is at work Is
making a handsome proflt from the Job.
The principal thing smuggled Is dia
monds but quite a number of pearls
have been brought In too. The reason
for the diamonds being smuggled In
greater quantity than the pearls, is be
cause there is a greater demand for dia
monds than for pearls. There Is a duty
of CO per cent charged by the American
customs so if a man can succeed In
smuggling the stones past the Inspec
j t0rs, ne can mane a nanusome. prom oy
underselling the legitimate dealer.-The
tors, he can make a handsome, proilt by
Jewels are brought, cut and polished
ready for the retail trade. They are
not set however.
"So far as I can learn there Is only
one man engaged In the scheme. He
has already made a couple of trips to-H
Hilo, I am informed. The plan pur
sued In getting rid of the diamonds Is
to dispose of them to the trade for holi
day goods. The stuff has not been dis
posed of solely to Hllo people but is nil
over the islands.
"The Customs officials have suspected
that there was some sort of smuggling
game going on In which this particular
man was concerned, but they are off on
the exact character of his game. They
figure that he Is at work on some opium
smuggling deal but they are entirely
wrong. He Is working the diamonds
and pearls past them and It Is a far
more profitable business than opium
smuggling.
"It Is a wonder to me that there has
not been more smuggling of precious
stones Into this port. It Is very easy
for a person to smuggle almost any
quantity of Jewels from any steamer
that comes Into this port. No body
Is ever searched and as these jewels can
be carried In small packages, the eva
sion could be affected without trouble
gone through In that form had not F.
M. Swanzy presented another view of
it.
, "If the Chamber feels like Investigat
ing and refuting these statements made
by Mr. 'Humphreys and Mr. WJlcox, of
course It has the right to do so." said
Mr. Swanky "But -'or my own part 1
do not think It at all necessary. 1
think those statements are their own
(refutation. The charges that bad
food Is furnished by the merchants
and sent 'by the Board of Health, stand
J out as falsehoods. I do not think that
anyone believes tno charges. it is
therefore not necessary, though of
course me jimmuer may juecm it wioc,
to appoint a committee to Investigate
what no one believes."
... . 1 , v 1. ,
Mr. Swanzy concluded by offering a
simple resolution briefly stating the
fact that such charges had been made
and declaring the confidence of the
Chamber of Commerce In the president
and members of the Board of Health.
This resolution after some discussion
was adopted. On motion of W. M,
Glffard the secretary was Instruct
ed to forward a copy to the Board of
Health and to the Senatorial Commis
sion.

MAGOON AN EXPERT
GUARD
UP
HE TELLS COURT HOW THINGS
ARE CARRIED ON IN SWITZER
LAND BUT NOT IN HAWAII.
John IC Sumner again took the stand
In Judge De Bolt's court this morning,
and Attorneys Hlghton, Davis and Ma
goon had some lively argument over
objections to the procedure of the at
torneys who are seeking to have Sum
ner declared incompetent. The argu
ments were loud and vigorous on both
sides, and the court room began to 1111
up with people who enjoyed the shots
the lawyers fired at one another.
Magoon andi Davis sought to Intro
duce a letter written by Sumner from
Tahiti, in which he expressed regret
that he had executed the lease of his
harbor lands to Dillingham and Robin
son, and asked to have proceedings be
gun to set aside the lease. It was
claimed that this sudden change of
mind was evidence of his incompetence.
Hlghton objected, and declared that
the attorneys were pursuing an unfair
method 01 trying to prove incompe
tence, by going through Sumner's life
and picking out Incidents here and
there, Instead of taking his whole gen
eral course of action. l
Magoon gave a discourse, on guar
dlanships. He said thut the courts
should be very careful about placing
people under guardianship, and that. It
was a strict proposition of law.
think that a man should only be placed
under guardianship when It Is shown
that It Is necessary for his own Inter
ests," said Magoon. "It la for his own
protection only, and In the most en
lightened countries. In the world, It is
recognized as a proper and legal meth
od of giving such protection where It la
neeaea. in Switzerland the law pro
vides that when a man ls"left a legacy
by his father or- other relative, before
he can take possession he must prove
affirmatively that he Is competent to
taue care of it.
"If this is a proper case for a guar
dian, a guardian should be called in
If he Is in such condition that he needs
a guardian, the appointment of a guar
dian Is the greatest good that can be
done him. His own benefit Is the sole
consideration. If I did not think that
his condition was such that he ought
to be under guardianship, 1 should be
tne last man to lavor appointing a
guardian. There Isn't money enough
In this country to Induce me to proceed
In this matter if 1 didn't think that Mr.
Sumner ougnt to be under' guardian
ship for Ills own good."
Hlghton declared that there was no
such thing known to the law as the
appointment of a guardian for a' man.
with a view to dividing up his proper
ty, contrary to his own wishes
"Practice may develop such carica
tures of law," he said, "but the law
doesn't know of any such policy." He
declared that the letter sought to be
Introduced wa3 really a showing that
Sumner was sane, under the claim of
the other counsel that his making the
lease showed Insanity. "The letter
shows that at the time when It was
written, at least, Mr. Sumner's view of
the lease corresponded with that of
the counsel for the petitioners," said
the attorney. Hlghton waxed sarcastic
over Magoon's views of the guardian
ship proposition, remarking that he
was delighted to hear such views from
him, and that they would be an In
spiration to the court.
John K. Sumner, Incompetent or not
Incompetent, appeared to enjoy the
troubles of the lawyers. He sat In the
witness box and smiled over his glass
es when Davis shouted and Hlghton
pounded his desk, and It appeared that
he was getting something for his mon
ey whatever becomes of the land for
which the Oahu Railway Company
wants to force $100,000 upon him.

SD
JAPANESE FOREIGN OFFICE HAS
ALREADY DIRECTED STEVENS
TO COME HERE TO GATHER IN
FORMATION ON THE SUBJECT.
D. W. Stevens, 'Counsel to the Jap
anese legation at Washington, is ex
pected In Honolulu by any steamer t(
secure data regarding the Japanese
flro claims for the use of the Japanese
Foreign Office and the Japanese lega
tion In pressing for payment by lha
United States.
This Is one of the results attained by
C. Shlozawa and T. Ishlkawa whu
were recently sent to Japan on bchalt
of the Committee of Thirty which has
had the matter of the Japanese claims
In hand, and of the claimants hi gen
eral. "Our mission was this," said Mr.
Shlozawaj one of the delegates who re '
turned recently from Japan, "to pre7
ent clearly to the Japanese govern
ment the fucts regarding the- claims,
how they arose, the disastrous effect
they have had on the prosperity of the
Japanese colony here, the suffering
that has been experienced, and tho
crying need-of a speedy payment ot
the awards. Of course all this had
been written time and again In consu
lar reports and more directly in behalf
of the claimants. But It was felt thu
matter was one worth a personal pre
sentation. With this end in .view Mr.
Ishlkawa and myself were sent. We
were prepared with all the data show
ing how the claims had arisen, the
bankruptcies and poverty that follow
ed the losses, how many men belore iu
comfortable clrcumstnnces were ruin
ed and with debt staring them In thu
face had become hopeless and run
away, sometimes leaving those de
pendent upon them to the charity ot
the colony or of the community. We
took the certificates of award along-
Wilh us to show how the governnipnt
here had considered and treated tho
matter. We showed that the territory
was unable to do anything at this
time; that hope was centered In con
gress, but that If congress failed to act
at the next session as It had at the
last, hope would be again deferred and
the disasters of delay would continue."
We were received by the Minister ot
Foreign Affairs, Baron Komura,
though most of our business wua
transacted with the First Assistant
Minister Chlda.
"The results of this part of our mis
sion are shown In a letter from Ilia
Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Jap
anese Consul In Honolulu. In this let
ter It is stated that the Foreign Office
through the Japanese Legation - at
Washington will present the matter to
the President and the Secretary of
State, and will strongly urge that the
matter be called to the earnest consid
eration of congress. We were assured
by the Foreign Office that everything
that could be done would be done, and
that we -may believe that It will be. Is
shown by the fact that Mr. Stevens
has been ordered here to thoroughly
Inform himself on the subject for thu
advantage of the Legation at Washing
ton. "The second part of our mission was
to seek to raise a loan In Japai- on this
security of the certificates of award.
We had the approval of the Foreign
Office and had Interviews with a num
ber of bankers. Wc were always re
ceived courteously, and while It was
universally admitted that the awards
would be paid some time, the delay and.
uncertainty as to the time of payment
made It impossible for tho banks to do
anything for us, and this part ot our
mission was therefore without actual
success."
