port of the Conference Committee on

An Old Acquaintance.
The bill to further define and regu-
late the manner of electing trustees of
corporations came up on second read
ing.
Senator Cecil Brown thought that
one of the worst bills ever brought into
the Legislature. Twenty-Five days ago
they postponed II for second reading
until the last day Of the session and he
thought they had better let It lie on
| the table so that It's rest would be good.
He moved accordingly.

bill, claiming II was one of the best
bills ever introduced, allowing as II
did the minority in a corporation TO
know what was going on.

be read a third time two years hence.

Senator DiCkey moved 1t be laid on
the table. II came In too late. Its sub
iect was one that should have been in
vestigatcd by committee.
President Crabbe CVlce President
! Paris in the chair denounced It as
mission of one man all on his own
say-so that he could cure leprosy. The
| Legislature could not appropriate
money by resolution and the Governor
would sign no such resolution.
Senator KalauOkalani supported the
resolution, arguing that something
should be attempted for curing the
800 lepers in segregation.
/ Senator Baldwin said he would vote
for any measure OF the kind If there
was any hope in 1t Of curing leprosy.
But he could not believe the allega-
tions of the resolution. There was no
known cure for leprosy. If there was,
they would have heard of IL long ago.
He felt as deep an interest in the mat
ter as any man. If any doctors said
they could cure leprosy they were
hufnbugs-that was the only term that
could be applied to them. They ap.
pointed the Board Of Health and should
leave the details to that body. It was
not for them to dictate whom the
Board should put in responsible places
on Molokai or elsewhere.

lowing vote:
