Representative, Fifth District
| A communication from the clerk of
the Senate was read, informing the
House oi the appointment of a Senate
committee to act with the House COM
mittee OF nine on the visit TO the Leper
Settlement. Robertson moved that the
House committee of nine be instructed
| I'd act jointly with the Senate com
/ mittee
| Chairman Prendergast, of the print
| ing committee, reported House Bill 6
| printed.
| The committee on transportation for
/ the Molokai trip, reported they had
secured the w. G.. Hall, which would
| leave al 10 p. m.
| Monsarrat asked who We're the 9TH
| erS" included in the report Of the COM
mittee as going on the trip, besides the
legislators and reporters.
| Beckley said they were w O. Smith,
! former president OF the Board of
| Health; DR.. Engles, a specialist, and
| Commissioner of Agriculture Wray
! Taylor. Beckley said Taylor knew
| about the forests of Molokai, and W.
| O. Smith would be of great help to
| them.
| Judge Galbraith would also CO. said
Beckley, and superintendent Reynolds,
of the settlement.
| Kaniho said he objected to this. He
failed to see how the transportation
/ a .i,rt,t
invite others. He believed the taking
/ of doctors and others to the settlement
would restrain leperS from telling the
truth. The only proper way to get the
J evidence they wanted, as asked by
| their constituents, was To go with re
| porters only. He urged that all others
| be excluded.
Beckley, of the transportation COM
mittee, said that in order to properly
| investigate the many complaints made
| by lepers it was necessary to have the
| doctor and others Some of those con-
| fined in the settlement claimed they
We're not lepers, and to investigate
such claims it was necessary to have
| a specialist with the party. Justice
Galbraith was needed to help in the
matter of establishing courts.
| Ewaliko thought the report Of the
| transportation committee should be
adopted
Makekau was DESTROYS TO know If the
inner man had been looked after by
! the committee.
The report of the transportation com
mittee was adopted
Robertson asked that Bill s be read

tons 1875 1886, 1887, 1888 and 1889, or
| the Civil Code, relating to the sale of
| real estate in this Territory by for
eign guardians.
Paele said the House could not con-
l..1 l. Il 4.
copies of the code.
Robertson said this was foolish
| idea
Kaniho asked the speaker 10 rule
| that such indecent language fool
ish should not be uttered in the
House.
Robertson again said it was fool
ISL and the House grinned Owing
to the fact that only a few copies of
the Civil Code could be obtained, a
resolution of a few days ago that each
member be provided with a copy, could
not be carried out.

ment by Makekau, Bill 6 was read
