as agent OF the Board Of Health and
police officer receives $1,000 per month
from the Police Department, and $4,000
per month from DIR. Cooper, and as the
agent of the Board of Health serves
without pay as far as your Committee
can ascertain, but is nevertheless
clothed with all the powers Of the
Board of Health.
From this evidence II would appear
that the President of the Board of
Health is reckless in his statements,
does not know when he makes an ap-
lar rules as to the appointment Of ply
sicians under the Board Of Health or.
he may have a convenient memory.
(2) BY who or whom are such ex.
aminations made?
Your Committee find that the exam.
nations made In Iwilei are made by
one physician only. Doctor c. b. Coop

Physicians Charges.
go What charges are made fol
such examinations? And what is the
amount collected per day, week, month
or year? And what disposition is made
Of the money 80 collected?
Your Committee find that Doctor
Cooper charges $1,00 per week for eacf
woman examined, and also find thai
there are at the present time about
stated by Doctor Cooper, to be 1913
and stated by Paul Smith to be ~!
women at present examined each week
but your Committee find that in some
cases only three examinations are made
per month. II four examinations ar,
made, say on the basis of 1913 womer
per week, we find that Doctor Cooper
collects about $4,000 per month, but 4
only three examinations are made, w
find that he collects about $3S4.00 pei
month, or on an average about $450.0t
per month. This revenue SO collected
your Committee finds goes to Doctor
Cooper for his own personal use ant
benefit. Although in the early part o.
such examinations Doctor Cooper act
ed as q Sanitary Police Commissioner
appointed as such by the High Sheriff
we fail to find where any moneys col
ilected by him, as such, have ever beer
turned into the government as gov
eminent realization.
(D Are such prostitutes obliged Il
live in any one particular portion O.
Iwilei? II not. have not such prosti
tutes been ordered In the near futur,
TO live in one particular portion o
Iwilei? And II SO, by whom ordered
and who are the owner or owners o
such particular portion Of Iwilei?
Your Committee find that the Higl
Sheriff of the Territory, through hi
agents. has ordered all Of such womel
that are found In different parts o
the city, and also In some portions o
lwilei, to move to one particular par
as follows: on the makai side Of tn
Iwilei rice mill. and on the Eva sid
of the Iwilei road.
From further investigations we fin
that the rules and regulations as lai
down by the High Sheriff requirin
these unfortunate women to live Il
the one particular portion Of Iwile
hereinbefore referred to, is, In the judl
ment Of your Committee, unwarrante
for the following reasons:
Price Of Rooms.
In the section SO set apart, room
rent at from six to eight dollars pc
month. while across the road on tn
Waikiki side Of Iwilei road, rooms rem
for two and half dollars per month
and little further up the road, room
can be had at from one and hal
dollars to two dollars per month, tn
owners Of which are not able to rem
1.-THE same even at that price.
Your Committee sees no reason VIII
} the High Sheriff should SO discrim
nate In favor Of one person In Iwile
to the disadvantage Of another, an
more SO on account Of the fact that tn
portion SO laid out has not been use
