HONOLULU, Feb. 16.—Hilo has an alleged leper cure which Governor Car- ter and President Cooper of the Board of Health have promised to put to a scientific test. Dr. Rice, a Hilo physi- cian, has been treating native patients for years and claims to have effected some remarkable cures. He is a home- opath and says that there is nothing strange about his cure, excepting that he believes he is the first one to try homeopathy on the disease. The Board of Health intends to give the remedy a thorough test. For that purpose a camp has been established a couple of miles from Hilo and patients will be sent there to take the treatment, ‘The Government bacteriologist, Dr. Mc- Donald, will assist in making the test successful. President Cooper has ap- pointed a commission, composed of Drs. Grace, Hays and Rice, to note the con- dition of the patients under the reme- dies proposed and to report their find- ings to the Board of Health. The tests will be prolonged so long as the doctors in attendance believe it necessary for their success. —_—————————— NEIGHBORS QUARREL AND ONE IS SHOT TO DEATH Trouble Between Farmers Over a Woman in Cavay Valley Ends in Murder.
