The Molokai investigation.
After the reading of the reports OF
the Mulokai investigating committee
as printed in the Bulletins second edi'
ton yesterday. a motion was made to
adopt the majority report and an
amendment to adopt the minority re-
port. There was but little discussion
the question having probably been de-
cided from the special meeting.
The motion for the majority report
that recommended the removal of DR.
Oliver and Superintendent Reynolds
carried.
It was voted TO leave the filling OF
the resident physicians place to d
committee consisting OF Drs. Sloggett
Moore, Cooper and Pratt
J. d. McVeigh was nominated fol
superintendent. AS an application had
been on file, since the resignation OF
Mr.. Reynolds was received last year
from c. b. Wilson. ballot was taken
resulting in the unanimous choice OF
Mr.. McNeigh. II was decided he should
take Office the first of May.
Mr.. Dole said the charges were read
two weeks ago in the presence of Mr.
Reynolds. The superintendent Went
with the committee to MOlokai. They
were all entertained by him AT tn,
guest house. MIR. Reynolds never had !
single word to say about his case, not
withstanding he knew the efforts mad,
against him. It struck the speaker
that Mr.. Reynolds conduct was the
characteristic conduct of a gentleman
Yet they could not do anything els
than ask for his retirement, but Ough
not to let him retire without an eN
preston of esteem for him as gentle
man.
DR.. Cooper moved that a vote o
thanks to Mr.. Reynolds be recorded
He had been courteous and faithful
officer of the Board for twenty years
The mover agreed with the minority re
port in considering that a repriman
was sufficient in the case of the super
intendent. The matter of complain
was in the hands of another depart
ment rather than those of the superin
tendent DR.. Cooper thought the pen
atty imposed upon Mr.. Reynolds wa
too severe.
Mr.. Isenberg seconded the motion
which carried unanimously.
Speak9 for Himself.
Mr.. Reynolds being readily granite
a request to say few words remarke
that while 1t was gratifying to have
vote Of thanks. still II made one fe,
rather bad, after 81 years of scryic
to go out of his position under clouD
He did not desire to alter the deteI
minatlon Of the Board because 1t Wa
rather a relief to he clear of the din
cult and often unpleasant duties. Wit
regard to the censurc, Mr.. Reynolc
said he had never interfered with Il
action of the police at the settlement
