THE BUSINESS or TWO WEEKS
TRANSACTED.
A Learned Doctor - The Goto Cure
Kokuas strike Applications and
Appointments, Etc,

President W. o. Smith no meeting Of
the Board had been held in two weeks
and large amount of routine business
had accumulated.
When the president took the chair he
appeared very much tanned after his
trip to Hawaii and bore evidence OF
having done much outdoor work while
away. As he took his seat he placed
upon the table large batch of cores
pondence and miscellaneous matter
more clearly than words that the meet
ing would be a long and irksome one.
When the meeting was called to
order the following members we're pres
ent: President Smith, Drs. Day and
Wood, Agent Meyers and Messrs. Ian
sing and Ena. Minutes OF last meeting
were read and approved.
The first thing OF rea! interest to meet
the attention OF the Board was the re-
port OF the meat inspector, G. w. c.
Jones, of August Sth,
The report concluded with this re-
markahle statement:
zone Of the Hoacae bullocxs slaugh.
tered had in its stomach IA dozen whole
staples, such as are used for wire fenC-
ing, and some pieces of the same; two
pieces of bottle glass, one of them q
inches long by 2 inches wide, and some
black pebbles. The bullock was i'm good
order, and the stomach showed no signs
of injury, although the glass and some
of the staples had evidently been in il
for some time"
The next business was the appoint
ment of menIber of the Leper Board.
Dr. Wood was selected.
The subject of the patients treated by
DIR. Goto having come up for discus
sion, it was decided to transmit TO the
specialist a copy of the report of the
second examination of his patients by
the Board.
Three long letters from Mr.. Meyers of
the settlement were read, and rekindled
the old question so thoroughly discussed
last winter as to whether any more
lepers would be permitted to equip
themselves and receive the treatment of
the specialist. Last winter, as will be
remembered the question was settled
by fixing the date of the expiration o.
these experiments on May 7th. But it
seems that other lepers are still DESTROYS
of taking the treatment.
The Board decided to let the sick on
Molokai understand that it will not
permit further experiments along this
line.
A letter from Mr.. Reynolds now at
work on the reservoir on Molokai was
read. Mr.. Reynolds states that the
kokuas over there are in sympathy with
the American Railway Union and
struck on him the first day, in conse
quence of which he had to enlist the
service of lepers to carry on the work.
He ordered certain material needed in.
Guiding an empty. beer barrel, under
scoring the. word empty" all Of

A letter from DR.. Thompson suggest
ing the propriety of appointing DR..
McGettigan of Eva to relieve the
former during his absence from the
country, was read. In the same con.
nection letter from DR.. Mauritz,
rendering his resignation as Government
physician among the kokuas on Mole
kai a general application from DIR,
McGettigan and an application from
DIR. More for position on Hawaii were
conf Tered.
The resignation of DR.. Mauritz, to
take effect on August 3lst, was a, =
cepted. The other matters were dis
cussed, hut finally deferred until IL &
next regular meeting. In the mean
time the secretary is instructed to COM
municate with Dir. McGettigan upon the
matter of the probable course of the
= Board.
An application from DR.. Kojima, a
practice his profession in the Repub-
lie, was read. The application was ac
companied by a diploma and AZ certiii'
cate from Mr.. Fujil stating that the
credentials of DIR. Kojima were all right
and met the requirements of the law.
However, certificate as to moral char
acter, as required, did not accompany
the papers, and the application passed
over until the necessary guaranty could
be filed.
The next was an application from DIR.
John Theodore Haizopulos for IA license
to practice medicine in Honolulu. The
doctor arrived in Honolulu by the last
steamer from San Francisco and has
since made his headquarters at the Cal.
