physician in place of Dr. Goodhue, a
rule permitting the lepers to raise taro
with the privilege of selling 1t to the
settlement at the same prices the out
side contractors are now receiving. A
school house was also asked for Kala-
wac.
WANT DIR. GOTO.
The chairman then called attention
to rumors that DR.. Goto had cured
many people and he wanted the gov
eminent to have him sent to the set
Element. When asked whether they be-
lieved in Goto they replied in loud
chorus, YES" One man, Kealoha,
arose and said he had been cured, and
had remained cured for nine years.
He said he was very bad case when
Goto took him. Others rose with tes-
timony of cures, until more than
dozen had told of Cures which Sc
cured only retarding of disease.
All the lepers seemed to place alb
solute trust in DR.. Goto and wanted the
Legislature to send for him. Nathaniel
said there was a division of sentiment,
some wanted Goto and others white
physician.
AMBROSE HUTCHINSON TALKS.
Ambrose Hutchinson said the settle
ment was poorly equipped for the treat
ment of leprosy There were no steam
baths, hot baths, or well-equipped hos
pitfalls. He was opposed to DR.. Goto,
and said he was unable to treat the
disease. He called him a quack and
said that DIR. Goodhue was the worst
he had seen in "a years.
Tom Nathaniel arose and excitedly
opposed many Of Hutchinson's state
ments. He did not want to ask for
hospitals, which would not be built for
years, and he wanted a physician at
once who could begin to effect the cure
of their affliction.
1t was a strange scene in this little
recreation hall when the lepers laid
bare the anguish of their souls to the
committee. In the main part of the
hall the lepers, men and women, sat
in rows upon benches, the most out
cast of the worlds diseased and afflict-
ed ones. A fence separated the lepers
from the committee and all those who
came from Honolulu, who sat upon
chairs and benches. One by one the
crippled pleaders came to the bar,
showing their grief in their scanned
faces as they told of their wants. The
conference ended in a general inter-
change of compliments.
FAREwELLS AT KALAUPAPA.
Shortly after o'clock Senator Nc
Candless gave the order to go aboard
the ship. The government band, which
had played during the afternoon at the
hospital rendered several selections on
the landing, where most Of the lepers
congregated A quintette stood on the
shore and sang farewells.
At 5:45 p. m. the anchor was hoisted,
and the vessel came into Honolulu
harbor at 1880 o'clock.
