The report of the Senatorial Com
mission is a complete corroborati on of
every statement made by authority of
the Republican campaign committee
during the recent campaign, as to the
erect, if WilcoX's project for turning
over the leper settlement to federal
control were carried out The Conn
mission makes it clear in it's report
that its idea of what the settlement
should be, is a prison-like institution,
IN which the unfortunates afflicted with
leprosy should be separated absolutely
and forever from their kindred and
friends, and that the lepers from all
over the United States should be
brought in, so that in addition to be-
ing separated from their kindred and
friends, the Hawaiian lepers should
be forced into the company of strang-
ers, and this on their own native soil.
In order to make the institution as
thoroughly prison as possible the in
timation in the report is made, that
the whole territory should be patroll-
ed like a Siberian exile province, with
alien, and if necessary armed men,
keeping constant surveillance over the
people, ready to drag off to this pris-
on, anyone, man, woman or child, who
shows any signs of leprosy or any 9TH
er disease which by men interested in
making out the biggest showing of
leper cases possible, might be mistak-
en- for leprosy. This is what Wilcox
and the commissions report is COM
mitted to.
