viso that the following studies be pur-

Noble Pua resolved that committee
of five be appointed to confer, in con-
junction with the Board of Health ply
stefan at the Kalihi receiving station,
with lepers intended to be sent to Molo-
kai, in order to ascertain the nature of
their treatment at Kalihi, and that if
the committee see fit they should in
struct the Board of Health not to send
any more lepers to Molokai without per-
mission of the said committee. He said
that people with very slight marks are
sent to Molokai, while others unmistak-
ably marked with the disease are de-
tanned. The Board had disregarded a
former resolution of the House and fur
Their action was required.
Noble Phillips said it was absurd to
send the Sanitary committee out there to
see who has or has not the disease.
Who were they that they should venture
to give decision on such a professional
question? As chairman of the Sanitary
committee he could say that they had
investigated the mode of examination of
suspects at Kalihi, and was able 10 as
sert that there was no chance of collision
among the examining doctors. There
were four of them, they conducted their
examinations separately without ex-
changing a word, and it required the de-
cision of three of them to send a patient
to Molokai. The honorable Noble seemed
to assume knowledge of the disease,
but the speaker did not believe he had
particle of knowledge on the subject.
The way he flung resolutions into this
House, one would think that his country
men were badly treated. This he did
not believe was the case. Although
there had been no report from the Sani-
tary committee, they had not been idle
but had looked into the receiving station.
Rep Kalua moved to amend the reso-
luton so as to call for simply report
from the select committee as to the man
agement of the receiving station.
Noble Phillips objected emphatically
to a select committee. 1t was an insult
to the Sanitary committee appointed by
that Chair. He moved the resolution be
laid on the table.
Rep. Kalua disclaimed any intention
of affront to the Sanitary committee,
which was not appointed for the receiv-
ing station but for the whole Kingdom.
He objected to the resolution because it
with the law that gave the
Board Of Health its authority. The
speaker was chairman OF select COM
nltlcc vi TIC Legislature vi 1901, W III
vestigate complaints against the receiv-
ing station then at Kakaako.
Rep Richard considered the amend
ment OF Rep. Kalua only added insult to
injury. They had a very capable SAM
tary committee, that showed it was look
ing after the receiving station. After
the careful report OF the chairman, there
was no necessity of select committee to
further. Having the fullest
sympathy with the sick people and their
friends, he yet believed that the physi-
clans were capable men and would not
without cause send anybody to Molokai.
Noble Widemann said sentiment would
carry people away on this subject. He
had been carried away himself in refer
ence to a case in which he had some in
terest, but the result proved that he was
wrong then and the mover OF the resolu-
ton knew the case to which he referred.
Neither committee nor a resolution Of
This House can set aside the laws of the
land, and he would ask the mover to
his resolution.
Rep Brown raised the point OF order,
as several members rose to speak, that
motion to lay on the table was not debat-
able. Sustained.
