version and adopt MIR. Thurston's.
Minister Rrown-1 cannot say that !
like the resolution altogether, but this is
matter between Mr.. Thurston and the
Finance Committee. The committee
are all honorable gentlemen and l pre-
sumo they viii be glad to give him
every opportunity TO have access to the
books, etc.
Rep. Brown accepted the amendment
of the member from Molokai. He also
wished TO withdraw the petition but the
House would not let him.
Noble Muller was not afraid Of any
thing which Mr.. Thurston might say, as
every statement OF the committee could
be substsntiated, but rs it did not seem
10 be the pleasure of the House to pass
this resolution he would withdraw his
motion to adopt il.
Rep. kalua moved to lay the resolu-
ton on the table.
Noble Macfarlane said as member OF
the committee that it had no reason to
shirk any interview with Mr.. Thurston,
but he considered the passage of the pc
tition in the morning as not at all credit
able. Unless the introducer of the reso-
luton would move to have this morn
ing'S vote reconsidered he would oppose
the passage of this resolution. Ii We
propose that, Mr.. Thurston and all his
friends shall have every opportunity to
refute that report. Some members have
stated TO ME that they did not fully
understand the vote this morning. 1t is
no part of the duty OF the Finance Com
mittee to seek out former Minister and
catechize him as TO his motives. The
committee have made reference TO
accounts and vouchers for all their state
meutS.
Noble ]. NJ. Horner said the idea OF
the resolution as he understood it was
simply to do justice. Everything had
two sides even round ball Ian inside
and outside). The Finance Committee
has said one thing and the ex-Minister
denies it. To give the Minister an OPP
portunity to answer this resolution is in
troduced.
The previous question was moved and
carried.
The resolution was adopted.
Rep. Brown moved 10 withdraw the
petition.
Noble Widemann objected: He would
like 10 have the petition go into the
record of this House. l want it pub
lished and sent over the country, so that
people can see what kind OF stuff this
House is made Of.
Rep. kalua gave notice OF an Act to
defend the interest OF land owners in
springs, etc. ,. An Act to grant fran
chise for railroad on Hawaii. 3. An
Act to relieve His Majesty OF certain en-
barrasSments.
Rep. Kalua introduced resolution
that the Minister OF the Interior request
the Board Of Health to state the reasons
for Dr. Lutz's resignation, and if it was
accepted whom the Board propose to
put in his place. The doctor himself
told me few hours ago it was in conse-
Quence OF the action OF the Board or
Health towards him in connection with
the late legislative investigation. DR..
Lutz was brought here by the Govern
ment at great expense as specialist. l
have been called an enemy OF the Presi-
dent of the Board of Health. l am not
and do not even know him. Whom
are we serving the Board Of Health or
the people? Whose wishes are to be
carried out, the Boards or the peoples?
We represent the people and what we
recommend, should be done. 1t is not
done. DR.. Lutz should not be hindered
in the treatment of leprosy.
Rep. Bush said it was professional
jealousy which was drawing DR.. Lutz
out. He hoped that the Sister would 60
too, so that the two could bear witness
to the way in which natives were being
treated by the Board. The Board was con-
trolled by few jealous physicians and
be thought these events might rouse
some sympathy for these poor people,
If not in the Sandwich Islands yet in the
wide universe. The poor natives would
simply be left at the mercy of few peo-
pie who cared nothing for them except
few dollars and cents. applause from
behind the rail-. 1t was to the credit OF
the last administration that they had
procured this physician and now that he
was doing some good, he was driven
away. The Board OF Health ought TO be
turned out but the Ministry would not
do it, and he was almost ready to vote
the Ministry out. The children OF the
missionaries were the worst in their
treatment OF the natives
Rep. Z. W. Wilcox said this resolu-
ton was brought on by the action OF the
Board OF Health. They have acted in
such a manner that no man OF honor
could serve under them. DR. Lutz comes
from Europe, where they have sense OF
honor. This is all brought on by the
failure of the Ministers to do their duty.
They sit there day after day and do
