Noble Thurston favored the item tt
be referred to a committee, with in
structions to report on the admins

: the physician. Hawaiians would no
go there. While there would be fifty
applicants at the Hospital, there
would be over 1900 at the Dispensary
J down town. The native Hawaiian
will not go there. The rate at which
Hawaiians are dying in Honolulu
