IN THE HOUSE.

mtmDeTS DelnS convinced lnat all eN

FOR LEPROSY HOSPITAL.
The Special Leprosy Committee, by
Paele, reported at length, the report
favoring the resolution calling for the
bringing to Kalihi of disputed lepers
by House Committee and making
several minor recommendations. The
report was accompanied by number
of exhibits. Pulaa wanted the report
printed, but it was moved to adopt the
report first. Beckley called attention
to the fact that adoption would mean
appropriating $4,000, and the report
was simply received, and filed.
Paele then presented joint resolu-
ton ordering the President of the
Board Of Health to erect leprosy
superintendent. The Whereases say
many nice things of Alvarez, and
make provision for the hospital at
Kaneohe.
Paele moved to adopt the resolution,
and Harris to defer consideration for
ten days. Paele argued for the reso-
luton and Chillingworth opposed it,
saying that it was autocratic to de-
clare that a certain person should be
in charge for fixed period. Vida eX-
planned that it was necessary to give
a specialist decided period If he was
to hope for success with his treatment.
Pail urged the passage of the resolu-
ton, and the House so voted by 81
ayes to noes.
Again Pulaa came to the front with
a joint resolution providing for joint
committee to visit the leper settlement
and make examinations of persons
who have not had microscopical exam
nations, and if found to be clean to
release them. The resolution passed
without a dissenting vote.
LIGHT VETO SUSTAINED.
The afternoon session opened with
the veto of the House bill affecting
lights on bicycles and other vehicles,
the objection being that the reference
in the bill is to chapter 26 of the ses-
sion laws, and the proper reference
should have been to section IS. The |
veto was sustained.
The Senate sent back the Hawaiian /
Electric franchise bill without amend |
ment, it having passed third reading. !
The Senate's concurrent resolution
on the coffee industry, petitioning .
Congress for a duty or bounty, was
