D
Governor Says That Dr. Pratt
Is Capable of Running His
Department.
EXAMINATIONS ARE GOING ON
Suggestion That They Go Over
to Later Than Convention
Date Is Squelched.
'There will bo no Intorforonco from
ainy quarter with the work of the
oard of health," said Governor Froar
yesterday. "That dopartinont is and
Jias boon very efficient, and there can
bo no doubt but that in tho coining
campaign for health and cleanliness in
this city its worth to tho municipality
.and Territory will bo increased."
Tho mutter of tho present examinations
going on in (ho department of
health was brought to tho Governor's
notice, and ho was asked if thoro would
.bo any outside ,ii'jucuco brought to
bear in tho matter ol'appointments or
dismissals. ,
"Doctor Pratt is thoroughly capablo
-of running his department ot tho
said Mr. l'rear, "and I can
scarcely understand why such a question
should bo uslicd. Not only is
Pratt a woll read medical man, having
a fine grasp of tho theory of
and ot sanitation, but ho has mado
,a cIobo firsthand study of tho means
and methods pursued by the beat sanitarians
in the United 'States. Besides
this, he is an earnest, conscientious
awako to the needs of Honolulu
and determined to Tight tho sanitary
that now threaten us or which
may threaten in tho future.
"I havo nothing but praise and compliment
for the, uinnncr of conducting
tho health board. Jt is ono.pf ,tho most
important branches, ofour government,
and H is certainly keeping "pace with
tho progress aml,ofucieje.y of fho other
branches, 'if ha.s. b'cen, policy of
this administration to make every department
worthy and progressive
of tho wjiolo body, working together
in harn ony for tlia bust
of tho Territory. It is insisted
that"we havo good .work done and mod
ern "methods used, and all consistent
with tho strictest honesty of purnoso
and of outlay.''
A Long, Hard Fight. '
Tho effort to contiluio thu boilnl pf

on ever smco ,thp summary retirement
of U K. I'inkb.un. Doctor Cofcr, of
eonrho. laughed at the attempts to bring
politics into tho higher .departments of
tho bureau, but ho was help.ess when
it raine to driving It out of the lower
branches. President warned
and fifed and tried to make it plain
'that ho wanted no politics in his, despite
-which ho was told in a very polltu
letter tbit lie wub "expected to notify
I eommittoo of any vncancios."
too expectation, oy tno way, was
never gratified, but as a result tho department
was harassed during tho
ian of tho legislature and only tho
-appearance of cholera in the city en-
j tabled tho board to get tho minimum
rcauested. wnilo in some instances it

of Aehi and tho impudence of Mm ray

United States Immigration Depot
Wants Its Money
Back.
As an nfformath to tho incidont of
tho Btenniship Willcsden immigration
vonturc, which , mado nn addition of
eighteen hundred to Hawaii's popular
tiou several months ago, thoro is now
trouble over tho expenses incurred
wbilo they wero passing through the
federal immigration station.
Tho present status of tho caso is
punctuated with large silences on the
part of rtli concerned. No no will
enter into any conversation on tho
matter and no ono will deny it. About
$3000, however, is to bo,collectod from
somo ono and Washington has been
asked "Who.t"
That the wholo matter will go to tho
national capital for another airing is
probable if, indeed, it has not already
boon seut there. The expenses
which are not covorod by tho
proper bonds or guarantees aro put at
$5000 by reliablo authority. Under tho
law tho steamship company is liablo
for all of those expenses,, but tho company,
which means the steamship
is out df tho reach of tho
and enn not bo libeled. The
territorial olllcialr can not flguro ttut
how thoy aro responsible nnd tho
government won't stand for it.
"You can say for us," said Commissioner
V. S. Clark of tho territorial
department of immigration last night,
"that we aro not concerned in tho
at all. The steamship companyis
always liublo and tho matter rests with
tho federal authorities. You might bo
ablo to get the information from Mr.
Ualsoy or Doctor Ramus."
"I havo nothing to say on the matter
at all," said Inspector Ualsoy.
"That is a matter out of my department
altogether," said Doctor Kamus.
"You will have to sco Mr. Ualsoy. I
know nothing at all about tho immigration
matters except what aro related to
this departmpnt."

"GROSSLY FALSE,"
E IB
Breaks Silence on Kuhio Charges
and .Shows Foolishness
of One Item.
Governor Frcar did not mako uso of
that "shorter and uglier' tvord whon
ho referred yesterday to soma of
Kuhio 'b charges agsins't him, but her did
siiy that -two of tho statements mado
by tho Delegate in his pamphlet of
"reasons" for wanting tho territorial
executive removed from office, or. at
least, not reappointed by tho President,
were "grossly' false." , I

about 34,000 acres of public land
now actually under cane cultivation
In tho Islands, cither held under
lease, or held ot -will after tho
expiration of leases. Tho most of
it is available, under the law for
immedinto hOnicstcading purposes
as being held under leaso providing
for its withdrawal, for homo
steading, upon six months' notice
to lessees. And yot, dtirJng the
raoro than four years of Governor
Prcar's administration, not ono
aero of that land has oeen applied
o homestcading purposes not one
family has been placed upon any
portion of that vast domain.
"I bay," said Governor Prear, with
emphasis," that that statement is gross.-,
y false, like ninny another contained in
tho document presented to tho interior
department. Hut, since you havo asked
regarding this particular ono, let mo
answer it alone nt this time. Tho statement
that about 34,000 .acres of publiq
lands arc at present under cane cultivation
is approximately correct, for, according
to tho returns mado last month,
thcro are 30,C13.11 acres of public land
under cane cultivation.
"But it is not truo that most of it
is available. On tho contrary, only
12,180.31 acres of such lands aro now
available:, and tho statement thaf during
my administration not ono aero had
been applied to homesteading purposes
is 'grossly false and wholly at variance
with tho records.
"As much as C,23S.08 acres of cano
land hns been withdrawn from tho
plantations for such purposes, and of
this amount 3,021.07 acres. havo actually
been opened for honfestcading, whilo
tho -remainder, 2,210.41 acres, has now.
been surveyed nnd -is about to bo
thrown open for settlement.
"The other part of his statement, to
the effect that not ono family hns been
placed upon any portion of these lands
is wholly false and misleading totally
at varianlo with tho records. For upon 1
such lands already opened -numerous
homesteads havo boon taken."
Ever since the rccoipt of a copy of
tho charges filed with Secretary Fishci;
of the interior department, jGovernor
Krear hns been busily engaged preparing
his reply to them. That his answer
may be made as complete nnd exhaustive
as necessary, tho executive has
called upon the various departments for
their records touching tho subjects involved;
and tho Governor himself has
been working overtimo iu tho prepar.
atlon of his paper.
No part of his answer will, of course, j
tin I'lVpn nut linrn hltf. it 1H nrnhnllln '
that the full statement will bo re-
leased in Washington in due timo. ,
Tho present statement of Mr. Frcar was

important actions tnkon recently by tho
Territorial Department of Immigration,
which has also decided to 'change its

Captain Paul Smith, who has been
selected to convoy tho deported immigrants,

work at tho immigration sheds during
tho period while tlio immigrants were
entering tho Territory by hundreds. Ho
was virtually "captain of tho yard"

Ho has tended tho sick, subdued tho
