tFrom Wednesdays Advertiser)

nominee for Congress, can go to the
Leper Settlement, and talk politics to
the epers from the limits OF the stock
ade.
The matter was heard in the forenoon
and afternoon. the Board of Health's
interests being represented by Attorney
General Lorrin Andrews, w. A. Kinney
and {. A. Galbraith appeared for laukea.
1t is presumed that laukea will board
a steamer this week and go direct to
the Settlement, where he will address
the lepers. but under the usual restric
tons enforced by the Board OF Health.
The answer of the Board of Health
to the petition OF laukea to grant him
all Injunction against the Board to re-
strain it from preventing him from going
TO the Settlement, was read in court in
the forenoon. Dr. Cooper, one of the
defendants named stated that L. L.
Pnkham, the President of the Board
of Health. was not in the city and he
had had no opportunity to consult with
him as to the truth of the statements
or allegations made.
He stated also that if the court de
cided that no person should be allowed
to address the candidates, Iaukea, the
plaintiff would certainly be prevented
from landing within the Settlement as
any other man having no legitimate
business would be prevented.
In the afternoon Dr. Cooper was put
on the stand for the Board of Health.
He told OF the stockade at the Settle
ment to which one had to land from
boats at the landing. Sailors from YES
sells landed goods and went no farther
into the Settlement, the goods being
handled by lepers. There were two
fences about eight feet apart. This
was designed to keep visiting friends
from shaking hands with or kissing
their leper friends and relatives. This
was u prevent contamination.
''Does the Board of Health claim the
Kinney.
I'VE don't control the sea-"
"Would you prevent any one from
addressing the people from the sea?
mo, sir; don't think the Board of
Health claims jurisdiction there"
"As matter of fact have not people
addressed the inmates from boats ?" in
.quired Judge Dole.
Not to my knowledge"
did not Prince David address the
lepers from a boat?" inquired Mr.. Kin
ney.
1t was finally agreed that he had.
81 will say that the objection of the
Board did not arise from the question OF
danger OF contamination" said DR..
Cooper, but it creates mental dis
turbance among the people, who we
might consider as invalids, or people |
who are not we'll The feature is that
its speakers make great promises and
when they are not fulfilled, it makes a
great deal of trouble and annoyance. 1t
is the wish OF the Board to keep the
people out of politics.
PERSONALLY. don't think they should
vote or have the right OF franchise. 1t
doesn't mend matters to have speakers
go there to stir them up"
DO you remember the Legislature go
ing there" inquired Judge Dole.
'"What was the effect of their visit"
Il remember the last Legislature"
said DR.. Cooper. The people had a
meeting in their hall, there were a good
many speeches made and promises made
and many were not carried out. The |
Board had to suffer from that for long
time"
What is the effect on the lepers as
regards to their health?"
at is not the effect on that, but it is
the discomfort that arises"
DO you remember the assurance
made by the Legislature that they would
have county government"
"Yes"
"How was that made?"
81 don't know except the statement
at the hall. 1t was made by political
speakers before the election"
Were they not promised" inquired
the Attorney-G General, that they would
also have the handling OF the funds ap-
proprated for the Settlement"
"Ies, | believe So"
The arguments were made by the At
torney-General for the Board of Health,
followed by Mr.. Galbraith for Iaukea.
The decision was given verbally.
