Noble J. NJ. Horner presented report
of Select Committee on the item for the
Volcano road of $4,000 and 900 for
road in Puma. The committee state the
estimates are based on cost of road al
ready built, deducting what properly be-
longs to cost of whole road. The amount
required including what has been spent
beyond the appropriation, will be $780,
900, which sum the committee think
should be appropriated. The committee
further recommend that the rest OF the
road be let out on contract, and to ex-
pedite the work, that the road be divided
into four sections. The committee re-
commend that only s. 900 be appropri-
ated for the Puma road at present as the
committee have been unable to obtain
,,,fA t>t fn oh of 10
| road. They recommend a survey, and
the cutting OF a trail over the proposed
route, if found to be practical one,
| which can be widened to wagon road
| in the future.
The report was laid on the table to be
considered with the Appropriation Bill.
Rep. Kalua introduced the following
| resolution Whereas, it is said that Drs
Kimball, Rodgers and McGrew went tt
the Kalihi Hospital yesterday and ex
| amined there Chas Kahalehili and with
out allowing DIR. Lutz to be present pro
nounced him not to be leper, anC
transferred him to the suspect side of the
hospital, and examined other patients
resolved, that the Minister of the In
| terror state to this House in writing to
morrow whether this is true or not.
| Rep. Kalua said that this, if true
/ looked like spite, and the resolution was
introduced to ascertain the facts. He
did not know who DR.. Rodgers is Oh
what he has to do with the Board o
| Health, but he was in the lobby here
| Yesterday, when the resolution was be
| ing discussed, laughing and talking anC
sending messages to members. He may
consider himself an eminent physician
but think the general observation OF the
| public is to the contrary. DR.. LutZ wa!
brought here from Brazil at great ex
pense, and now that he is here, othel
physicians, including Dr. Kimball, dc
all they can to hinder him.
Minister Peterson said the statement!
made by Rep. Kalua were not correct
The Board of Health had placed no OBJ
stacles in the way of DR.. LutZ.
Noble Marsden said that yesterday
was the day fixed every six months
for the examination of patients, anC
that was the reason the physicians wen
| there yesterday.
Rep. Kalua, proce, ding, continued
his comments, when
Minister Peterson rose to point of or
der. The hon. member was comment
| ing on statements as facts which he ask!
to have referred to the Minister of the
Interior.
The President said it was out of ordel
| to reflect on persons not in this House.
Rep. Kalua said the Board of Health
only week ago regarded this man as {
confirmed leper. Now he is treated al
not one and placed among the suspects
The House ought to have an explanation
OF this. l therefore move the resolution
be adopted.
Rep. Kapaehaole was sorry to find s
spirit of opposition among the foreign
members of the House the moment any
charges are made against any foreigner
This was not right. Such things ought
to be investigated, and if they were mo-
nothing would be so likely to cause
trouble. He would ask those who were
trying to smother the resolution to with
draw their opposition.
Minister Peterson admired the facility
| with which certain members put up mer
of straw and knocked them down. He
for one had seconded the resolution. Nc
attempt had been made to smother the
resolution, and every member, he be-
lieved, favored thorough investigation.
| Rep. Brown was in favor of the reso
luton, and thought the member from
Molokai was entirely wrong in what he
attributed to the "haoles." What be
| objected to was that members brought
street rumors into the House, and made
them basis of a resolution instead Of
making the proper inquiries first.
Noble j. NJ. Horner thought every one
would vote for such a resolution without
any abuse of outsiders.
The resolution was adopted.
Rep. kalua moved the report of the
| Finance Committee be taken from the
table and placed upon the order of the
| day. There were matters OF Importance
