Rep. Brown-If they have done any

| thing which this House has nothing to
| do with. l move the petition be laid on

The committee report against the item
Laid on the table with the Appropria-

Rep. Marques presented preliminary
report for the committee on the ex-
penses of the Post Office Department
recommending an increase of the appro-
priation. Laid on the table with the
Appropriation Bill.
Rep. Kalua for the committee on COM
plants at the branch hospital at Kalihi,
states, that as the report has been print
ed and distributed it is unnecessary to
read it. The committee find that the
charges against Chas. Kahalehili are
true, that he is confirmed leper and yet
is allowed to eat with the suspects and
to have his clothes washed by them.
The committee find further that Chas.
Kahalehili is employed ny Mr.. Rey-
nolds, and acts under his orders. They
recommend that Chas. Kahalehili and
Mr.. Reynolds be removed. They find
that DR.. Lutz is the most fit person to
have full control, and that he be allowed
such control in treating patients.
Noble Macfarlane stated that the re-
port was seriously defective as the
charges were not printed in the report
and it was impossible to understand it
without them. It was clear that the
committee had been very diligent. He
would therefore move the report be laid
on the table.
Rep. Kalua explained why the resolu
ton had been brought in. After it had
been brought in Mr.. j. 0. Carter came
! to me and wanted to know why the Leg
islature had taken the matter up when
the Board of Health was investigating it.
l stated that the Legislature being a
higher body than the Board had a per-
| feet right to do SO. MIR. Carter went out
| and was present at some of the meetings
of the committee and asked some oues-
tons. / move the report be adopted
and referred to the Minister of the In
| terror.
Noble ]. M. Horner-When the reso-
luton was introduced | supposed there
was something very serious to be inves-
tigated. When this report was brought
in | was very agreeably disappointed
There is nothing in it to occupy the
attention of the House. There is some
little difference between some of the
managers and little unpleasantness
about medicines.
Rep. Brown referred to the terms of
the resolution. The report did not at
all correspond with the resolution. They
have travelled entirely out of their juris-
diction. The resolution called for an in
vestigation of certain acts OF Chas. Ka-
halehili and the report on certain
charges of Sister Rose Gertrude. think
also it was entirely wrong for the House
and discourteous to the Board of Health
to interfere in q matter which the Board
