The following certificate from Dr.
Wetmora was also read:
PEPEEKEo, July ), 1898.
This certifies that I was called in
consultation with DR.. NamamOtO by
Charles Moore, of HilO Jail, OF June
9, 1898. Judging from the appearance
OF the child, il must have been dead
from twenty four to thirty-siX hours
before the japanese doctor was called.
I have reason TO believe, from the
statements of DR.. YamamOtO, and
others, that Charles Moore refused
him a consultation in the case of his
wife until it was too late.

Agent e. b. Reynolds said he
wished to bring the matter Of wash
houses before the board. There
were not accommodations on the
government property. This was
partly caused by eight of the houses
being made unfit for use by late
fire. The Chinese had taken advan-
tage Of this and were without per

that under the circumstances he was
