BOARD OF HEALTH
Tales Action Towards Condemna
tion of MiM Marsnes.
DR. HOWARD'S INVESTIGATION
Action on Report of Fool Inspector-Yarious
Resignations and Appoint
ments. There were present at yesterday's
meeting of the Board of Health Pres
ident Cooper, Dr. C. B. Wood, Dr. Em
erson, E. C. Winston, D. Keliipio, Dr.
Day, and Clerk Wilcox.
The minutes of last meeting were
read and approved.
Dr. Emerson of the Sanitary Com
mittee reported as follows:
The Sanitary Committee, to whom
was referred the report of Mr. Man
son concerning certain marsh lands in
the district of Waikiki, which, it is
claimed, are a nuisance and offensive
to the inhabitants of the region, beg
to report that they have carefully ex
amined and inspected the same and
they find the condition to be as fol
lows: v
The visit to Waikiki was made on
the 12th instant, at which time a
fresh breeze was blowing from the
mountains, thus minimizing all un
pleasant odors. The committee was
accompanied by Mr. George Manson,
the local agent of the board for Wai
kiki. The region against which com
plaint is specially maae Dears tne cause it was not signed. He had re
name of Loko Paweo, and on the ac- fused to sign the reported transcript
companying map-tracing, kmy 'SurV his own testimony because it was
"j -" "vumviw3Ui w , - j
inaicaieci Dy an encircling jrea line, lti
9 i i i f -a? i - a
is the property of tho, Bisjs-Eate,.!
is under lease to Mr. John Enar, Having
two or three years to run, and has an
area of about IS1! acres. The region
is not much, if at all, above the level
of the ocean and is divided into a
number of small patches, each one
surrounded by its own bank of mud,
which patches were at one time used
to hold sea water in the making of
salt. At the present time the water
has mostly dried away, leaving some
times bare ground and sometimes an
offensive mud, covered with an inch,
or a few inches, of water, in which
are to be found animal and vegetable
marine products, both dead and liv
ing. The odors given off from the
place are at all times fetid and un
wholesome; especially is this the case
during a period of dry weather, like
that through which we have been
passing. It is to be noticed that the
wet patches under consideration are
not directly connected with the ocean,
and therefore are not subjected to the
cleansing influence of the rising and
falling of the ocean tide; the water
they contain is that which permeates
the soil and which naturally soaks in;
nor are they supplied with water by
any stream from the mountains. As
to the existence of a spring or springs
in the region your committee cannot
affirm. The region under considera
tion stands in the midst of a district
that is rapidly being built up and im
proved by a class of people, many of
whom form a most desirable addition
to the population, and by whom the
presence of this succession of ill
smelling bogs is felt to be a constant
annoyance and nuisance, at all times
disturbing their comfort and threat
ening their health.
Your committee does not deem it
necessary to define the metes and
bounds that form the intangible line
of division if such exists between
what constitutes a mere nuisance to
the sense of smell and a dangerous
threat against public health. Your
committee, however, are of the opin
ion that the conditions existing in the
region above described not only con
stitute a serious annoyance, but that
they are highly unsanitary and a men
ace to the public health, and as such
should be corrected.
The appropriate remedy for the con
dition of things above described is
either to fill in with good material, or
to ditch and drain it; or a combination
of both methods may be used. But if
ditching is resorted to it should be
so done as to secure and maintain per
manent connection with tide-water, so
that the incoming and outgoing tides
may at all times keep it clean and
sweet.
Your committee accordingly recom
mend that the owners of the land in
question be notified to abate the nui
sance in the manner above described,
and that the above facts and this rec
ommendation be transmitted to the
Minister of the Interior and that he be
requested to proceed in the matter ac- t
cording to law.
(See sections 943-952,
Penal Laws.)
Dr. Wood moved that the board ac
cept and adopt the report of the San- J
itary Committee and that the board
recommend that the district covered
by the report be declared deleterious
to the public health and that it be
filled in to the level of the street grade.
President Cooper reported the result
of the recent prosecution against Syl
vano Xobriga in the Circuit Court and
that since the conviction there had
been no trouble with the quality of the
milk furnished by him.
Mr. Cooper then called attention to
the report of the Food Inspector on
his recent examination into the qual
ity of the catsups and beers sold in
the local market, from which it ap
peared that salicylic acid had been
found in a large number of samples
and offered the following resolution:
"Resolved, That salicylic acid is a
deleterious substance when mixed
with any article of food or drink and
as such, injurious to health.
"Resolved, That the sale of any ar
ticle of food or drink containing sali
cylic acid be prohibited."
Dr. Emerson said that salicylic acid
was deleterious to health in that it
interfered with the process of diges
tion. Dr. Wood said that it was a drug
potent for good and evil, as it was
used. It was not an article of food
and had no use in food. While the
amount taken with catsup .would be
so small as to produce no perceptible
effect, with beer it was a different
matter. If a man took ten or twenty
grains of salicylic acid with each bot
tle of beer he drank, the effect would
undoubtedly be deleterious to his
health.
The resolution Avas unanimously
adopted.
President Cooper called up the ver
dict of the jury in the recent case re
ported in the papers in which Dr. How
ard was accused of neglect in attend
ing on a native woman. The verdict
and evidence had not been submitted
to him yet officially, but he understood
it was on the way.
Dr. Howard, who was present, said
that he understood the reason why the
evidence was not forthcoming was be-
noi complete, ana ne unaerstooa tnat
T)cVnmnhris had r
Vumphris had refused to sign for
flSrajni rp.asrn.
Dr. Emerson was in -fcvorjwtf grant
ing the request of Dr. Howard for an
immediate investigation. The evi
dence taken at the inqnest could be
used for what it was worth.
President Cooper said the board had
power to take the evidence anew or
examine any witnesses necessary.
Dr. Wood's motion to have a copy of
the testimony taken at the inquest fur
nished for the use of the board, car
ried. After some "informal discussion the
board agreed to take the matter up at
its meeting next Wednesday, both the
Marshal and Dr. Howard to have the
right to introduce any further testi
mony they see fit.
Dr. Howard asked for instructions
as to examination of girl pupils in the
public schools.
President Cooper said the contract
with Mrs. Dr. Hildebrand had expired.
Dr. Day said it was eminently prop
er that a lady physician should be
employed for the work, if a suitable
one could be obtained.
Dr. Wood agreed with Dr. Day.
The matter was referred to the
president of the board to secure a lady
physician, if possible.
Dr. R. B. Williams' resignation as
Government physician at Hilo was ac
cepted and Dr. John Grace appointed
in his stead. . '
Dr. Frank Irwin was appointed phy
sician for Puna.
The following letter was read from
Dr. Moore regarding the keeping of
hogs in the city of Hilo, and referred
to Sheriff Andrews for his opinion:
"Respecting the matter of pigpens;
I have talked with the physicians here
and it has seemed that the plan
adopted by the Board of Health of Ho
nolulu is the best one and I would ad
vise a limit of one mile from the court
house, except by permit of the board;
I would also suggest a fee to go with
the permit of, say, one dollar.
"Dr. Irwin is going to apply for the
Puna district. He seems to be a very
fine man and well educated.
"It is rumored that Miss Grubb, the
matron at the hospital, has been of
fered a higher salary. We would be
sorry to lose her."
A. N. Hayselden was appointed
agent of the Board of Health at Wai
luku and C J. Faneuf's jurisdiction
was extended to include Waianae as
well as Ewa.
The application of two Mormon eld
ers to be allowed to visit the Settle
ment was granted.
Dr. Day reported that the regula
tion requiring passengers from the
Mainland to report daily for twenty
days after arrival had been discontin
ued as unnecessary, there being no
more smallpox in Coast cities as near
as could be learned.
With regard to the fees to be
charged by health officers for board
ing vessels in the harbor, it was de-
cided to make a uniform rate of $15.
The board then
adjourned to
Wednesday next.

WHAT THE CREWS ARE DOING
Regatta Committee Making Preparations for
the Harfcor Event on Satur
day Week.
As the day for the championship
races between the Myrtles and the He
alanis approaches the interest in
creases. The shopkeepers are waking
up and by tomorrow the red and white
and blue and white will flaunt from
every side. There is a delightful air
of uncertainty about this year's con
tests. Formerly either one crew or
the other had a "cinch," or, at least, it
was thought so. But this year it will
keep everybody guessing, including
the talent. Then, again, the Healani
victory last year proved a good thing
for the sport, as it took away the ele
ment of one-sidedness, and the feeling
of cock-sureness that was beginning to
make itself more or less felt.
By the time the races begin it is ex
pected that an excited crowd of over a
thousand people, gay of color and loud
of voice, will be on hand to cheer their
favorites. The railroad arrangements
are in the hands of General Passenger
Agent Fred. Smith.. He says there will
be ample facilities so that everybody
may travel in comfort and get back in
good season. The round trip rate -will
be 75 cents, the same as has existed
In previous years. - The first train,
carrying the officials, band and press,
will leave at 1:45 in the afternoon.
There will also be passenger cars for
the general public attached to this
train. At 3 o'clock the second special
will leave. Shortly after its arrival,
at about 4 o'clock, the races will com
mence. Larsen's naphtha launch will be
brought into requisition for the offi
cials and members of the press. It
will be at Clarence Macfarlane's wharf
to take on its passengers. It will then
go to the starting point of the course,
but owing to lack of speed it will pro
bably finish some distance behind the
shells.
The course will be the same as here
tofore a mile and a half straightaway.
Flags will be placed at every quarter,
and at the half-mile and mile there
will be boats to signal the position of
the crews. The best time last year
was 10 2-5 minutes. If all Is favorable
this will probably be cut next Satur
day. The judges at the start will be
Prince Cupid, Harry Whitney and E.
H. Wodehouse. Prince Cupid will act
as starter. Captain Clark and Cap
tain Campbell will be the judges at the
finish. The timekeepers on the launch
will be Louis Marks and L. P. Scott,
while A. T. Brock and Chris. Willis
will hold the watches at the finish.
The crews are all In good shape. The
entries close today, but it is as well as
assured that they will be made up as
follows:
Myrtle Senior Sorenson, Soper,
Lishman and Martin.
Healani Senior Klebahn, Renear,
Rhodes, F. Damon.
Myrtle Junior Lansdale, Lyle, Ross
and Johnson.
Healani Junior Church, Boisse, J.
Waterhouse and C. Murray.
The Myrtles have been going down
for some time in the evening return
ing early the next morning. They
will go down tomorrow at 5 o'clock
and will remain there until after the
races. The Healanis started in this
week going down at 5 o'clock and re
L-N
Makes the food mere delicious and wholesome
WOvt. BAK'NO POWPM CO., HEW YOK-
anuMHBnaMBiaMM
turning later in the evening. Today
will be the last time they will carry
out this program.
As yet, the betting is light and
there is no especial favorite. It Is
probable that the Myrtle Junior and
the Healani Senior will be a shade
the most popular. Those who ought
to know, however, say that neither
club has enough advantage to war
rant the giving of odds.
The regatta committee met Tuesday
night and arranged the program for
the 16th. There will be the usual
yacht races, rowing, swimming, div
ing, tub and canoe. A 10-oared barge
contest will be one of the new feat
ures. The judges scow, with Captain
Campbell, Captain Griffith and C. B.
Gray on board, will be anchored off
the Inter-Island wharf. The time
keepers will be the same as next Sat
urday, and Charles Wilson will han
dle the starter's flag.
THE OPERA HOUSE.
Last Four Nights of the Maggie
Moore-Roberts Company.
The last four nights of the Maggie
Moore-H. R. Roberts Company are
announced. Tonight the extremely
funny play of "The Prodigal Father'
will be revived. On Saturday night
next "Hans, the Boatman," will be
staged. "David Garrick," is set down
for Monday next, and on the follow
ing Wednesday "The Silence of Dean
Maitland." '
Prices have been reduced to all
parts of the house for the last four
nights. .
ANOTHER GIFT.
Mrs, Irwin's Generosity to the
Portuguese Association.
The 'British Benevolent Association
was not the only one to profit by Mrs.
Fannie M. Irwin's generosity before
her - departure for San Francisco. ' M.
A. Gonsalves, treasurer of the Portu
guese Ladies' Charitable Association,
was on Tuesday the recipient of ar
short note from Mrs. Irwin, enclosing
a check for $500 for the benefit of the ...
Association, of which the lady is her
self the honored president. The mo
ney came in good season, as the trea-1
sury of the society was empty "and It
was slightly in debt to the Queen's
Hospital.
"Fine Program Tonight.' :
The Orpheum company will present
a new program tonight. . All the ar
tists have. good things to offer and will:
spare no pains. Mr. Boggs and the
stock company will open in a comedy
farce entitled "The New Boy." Thia
is a bright comedy that goes with a
dash. Mr. Francis Boggs, as the
new boy, is a whole s hour in. himself. ,
Trixie Coleman will appear as the
"Bowery Girl," introducing . some
bright and catchy songs. Mr. Ordway
will introduce new tunes on the mus
ical bottles. Boggs and Haeward will
appear in the funniest of all sketches,
"Mrs. Bouncer's Boarders." Chand
ler and McPherson, the swell duet ar
tists, will bring on a new repertoire
of classic songs.
Young Chinese Drowned.
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth will
hold an Inquest this afternoon over
the body of a 5-year-old Chinese child
who was drowned Tuesday afternoon,
in Pawaa. He had left his mother to
go out and play with the ducks. After
a while the mother went to find him
and found him in the water, drowned.:
A Wife Beater.
A native was arrested by Von Hagen
of. the bicycle patrol last night for
wife-beating. The offender is a mem-"
ber of the rough crowd that infests
Iwilei. He was up for the same charge
a few days ago, and it is probable that
this time he will receive the extreme
penalty.
