 thank you sincerely for your kind invi- tation to be present at the industrial con- vention in Huntsville next September and to take part in the proceedings.

Made Profit for School

By careful and close management made a profit for the school of over s2 O0O In the boarding department of the dormt tory Tor the past session. Yet, because T charged this profit with the rent of s25 per inohtn TOT period of six months for a system of water works that I had nut in With my own money at cost of s7OO. When make this charge, which was put on the monthly account rendered every trustee the tenth or every month, and known ana explained to them fully, the finance com miltee mold up their hands in horror and a.n ui put III the attitude by them of swind- ing the state out of this water rent.
 After spending this money putting in the plant, recommended in writing to the board at commencement that this svstem De apoilshed and water power belonging to party in town be purchased, and the school own its own water works As to my claim Of this system, it is conceded by the board, and 1t has requested me to make them proposition for it's sale to the school. l did cause water to be conveyed to the houses named, which I had right to do, as the property was mine. But in only one instance have charged any rent, and that was to cover the expense of putting in an extra pipe. My object in placing this wa ter in several of these houses free of rent was to provide for the welfare and comfort of the pupils boarding therein-one having thirty girls, one fifteen, another twenty, another ten and some of these threa tened me to leave the school unless provided with water
 have proposed to the board to arbitrate all matters and differences between us. This they have declined. I then made them a proposition to go into the accounts be- tween me and the patrons of the school, provided they would agree to receive any profits and assume all losses arising there from. This the committee declined, but proposed If I would deliver to them my book showing the accounts between myself and the patrons, they would agree to take any profits and assume all losses therefrom except that of the $1,014 lost by the bank failure, or any part of 1t, refusing, how ever, to leave the matter to arbitrators to determine what the profits or losses were. This proposition was declined by me for the reasons that they were to sustain to a DOT ton of what I sustained, and that I was not willing to allow prejudiced committee to judge between themselves and me.
 make this statement to correct any false impression that may have been created by the publication of the garbled and mislead- ing report of the finance committee.

A Serious Accident.

Shortly before noon yesterday
Mrs, German met with serious ac-
cident while driving from her resi-
dence on Young street to the city.
The horse bolted and on Alapai
street collided with a telephone
post, thereby throwing the lady out
OF the carriage. Mrs. Gorman, who
was rendered unconscious, was car
ried into the residence OF Mr.. e..
Klemme and medical aid summoned
The unfortunate lady received two
severe cuts in her head besides being
badly bruised. The carriage was
totally wrecked. The accident dem
onstrates the necessity of putting
Alapai street in a proper shape II
there had been any sidewalks on
that thoroughfare, as there ought to
be, the disaster would most likely
pot have occurred.

These bills are ready for considera-

THEY WANT MoLoKAI

Sullivan Wants 1t Appropriated for
Oalifornia's Incurable Sick-A
Joint Resolution introduced Into
the House
CALL HEADQUARTERS, Sacramento,
Jan. 16.-Assemblyman Ed. E. Sui
livan of San Francisco would trans
port San Francisco's Pesthouse and
every other institution in the State
of the same Intellectual kind to far
off Molokai, where California's i'm
ported leper colony might languish
in its loathsomeness from now till
doomsday without endangering the
health and lives of the physically
clean.
Assemblyman Sullivan's plan is to
abolish the present places OF deten-
tion If the Federal Government can
be prevailed upon to set aside the
island of Molokai, in the Sandwich
Island group, as a general sani-
tarium.
The natives and authorities Of
Hawaii have used the island for years
as place of exile for natives of the
island afflicted with the dread dis
ease, and Mr.. Sullivan sees no rea
son why this State should not at the
same time rid itself of its loathsome
burden and large expense by shar-
ing quarters with the kanakas.
He proposes to bring it all about
with Assembly joint resolution No.
5, which he introduced in the AS.
sembly to day, and which reads as
follows:
WHEREAS, There has lately been
annexed to these United States a
large island known as Molokai, one
of the Hawaiian Islands: and,
whereas, there are in this State,
many unfortunates cursed with the
dreadful disease of leprosy; and,
whereas, it is absolutely necessary
that those 80 afflicted should be iso-
lated in order that the health of the
masses be not contaminated; and,
whereas, the expense to our State
and TO the municipalities therein in
maintenance of separate hospit ais
and pest houses therein is very great
and entirely unsatisfactory; and,
whereas, upon the said Island OF
Molokai there is leper hospital de-
voted entirely to the care and cure
OF lepers, and which island, on ac-
count of it's locality and conditions,
is peculiarly adapted to such pur-
poses; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Assembly and
Senate jointly that we hereby recog-
nize the great necessity of having
all those afflicted with leprosy con-
fined within and upon the said ISL
and of Molokai, both because of its
isolated condition and equable eli
mate, and also because it will be a
great financial saving to our State
and to the municipalities therein,
and be il
Resolved, That we call upon our rep
resentatives in Congress to use every
honorable effort to have every lepei
found within this State or hereafter
to be found herein seut to the said
island of Molokai for care and treat
ment; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the Governor be- re-
quested totransmit these resolution
to our Senators and Representative
in Con gress.
Mr.. Sullivan's resolution was re-
ferred to the Committee on Foreigl
Relations.

The indications are that Congress
will hold an extra session. During
the present one it is very doubtful
that the peace treaty will be ratified,
and it is more than likely that the
Haw allan question will be tempor-
arily shelved. The tariff laws and
the labor laws of the United States
will undoubtedly be extended at
once to Hawaii and the "hoggish"
planters who screamed for annexa-
ton and who, in the eleventh hour,
tried to rush into Hawaii 5000 cool
les, have only themselves to thank,
for the immediate abolishment of
the penal contract system, a step
which will be for time at least in
furious to all the interests of Ha-
waii-nei.
