NEW SHAMROCK BEAIHlHE HOUSE STIRRED Up
MONSARRAT WANTS ALL TO BE
LAWYERS.
Kaniho Gets After the Victoria Hos
pital But is Turned Down-Talk
About Accounts Paid.

Makainai of the Committee on Ac-
counts started the ball rolling i'm the |
House this morning. by speaking in de-
fence of the members of that commit !
tee. He said that they had been cri-
ticised for expenuing money tOOIshIy.
All account paid were Legitimate.
Emmeluth representing the Finance
Committee then offered a portion of the
revised salary pay roll. lie also took
occasion to question the legitimacy of
some of the accounts approved by the
Committee on Accounts.
After reading the revised list Robert
son arose to ask if the committee had
not stepped over the lines laid down
for them in attempting to fix salaries
| of the judicial portion of the terrific
rial government. The chair declared
/ the report to be out OF order, and EN-
eluth withdraw the same.
A resolution, reading as follows, was
introduced by Kaniho:
| Whereas, 1t is common rumor in
this city in reference to the treatment
of sick people in the Victoria Hospi-
tai, that they are housed in low, filthy
apartments, and are thereby made to
suffer more than necessary.
Therefore. BE it resolved, that a
committee of five members be appoint
ed from this House to go and investi-
gate the conditions of the Victoria
Hospital and report to this House"
Makekau asked for information re-
garding the institution. He had, he
said, never heard of the place before.
Emmeluth stated that the hospital
was under the care of certain members
of the Anglican Church. 1t was a
charity institution in it's broadcast sense.
No one went there unless he was dis
posed to do so, and no one was forced
to remain there. THE Victoria Hospi-
tai is primarily for the care of con-
sumptives," he said 1T has been said
that patients are sent there from the
Queens Hospital. This statement is
false. The Queens Hospital refuses
+ such patients because of the malady
with which they are afflicted If the
House wishes to take an active inter
est in the matter, let it devote funds for
. the erection of consumptive hospital
' rather than criticising private nsti-
! tuition, supported by individual funds
r of a limited amount"
g Kaniho said he was a stranger here
, and the matter having been called to
his attention he asked the matter to be
$ looked into for the public welfare.
e The resolution was tabled. A resolu-
= ton to increase the available fund fol
the Hilo Hospital was tabled.
t Monsarrat offered the following:
T Whereas a majority of the member
[ lOl tnlS Rouse nave Deen admitted &c
a practice and
Whereas, the remaining members
or Uitlanders wish to join the majority
o Therefore BE it resolved, that this
: House adjourn in order to give the ma
+ jority an opportunity to file their ap,
~ plications."
n Emmeluth arose in defense of the
