The Hawaiian gazette., 1905-03-28
Observation-Disclosures DAY.
Very respectfully,
"Csigned) L. f. PINKHAM,

NOl fOfN AANltINhDH1-
1t might be considered gruesome to
note that. within very short time al
ter the reading OF this note, one of the
ham, Chairman Fernandez said II was
an obstruction in the way of the Health
Committee. The Board of Health was
trying to prevent proper examinations
being made into the condition of GER
tain alleged lepers. He thought that
under the Organic Act the Legislature
had a perfect right to go ahead and
make laws and to investigate with ex
perts any case the House might see
fit He moved that the letter be re-
ferred to the judiciary Committee with
instructions to prepare an opinion on
the matter.
Andrade, Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee. objected to taking up the
physicians named in it lay cold IN
death himself.
AN OBSTRUCTION.
In speaking of the letter. from Pink
matter. To probe into the laws and
to find just what bore and what did
not bear on the matter in point would
be most intricate and lengthy opera
tion and he as lawyer would not feel
that he was doing his duty in preparing
or in helping to prepare an opinion
without giving far more time than he
could afford now. He believed that
every other lawyer in the House would
agree with him..
Kaniho did not look at things that
way. He thought the Judiciary, Com
mittee should deal with the matter but
in any event the House he believed
should deal with it at once in some
/ fashion.
OFFERS A COMPROMISE.
Harris pointed out that as a matter
of fact the House had been unable to
do anything so far. The Board of
Health had named certain physicians
as the only ones it believed capable Of
conducting an examination. The House
owed it to the people to do something
for the patients still detained at Ka-
lihi, so he moved that the Health Com
mittee of the House select two physi-
clans. the Board of Health select two
physicians. and the four thus selected
select a fifth for the purpose of going
to the Kalihi station to examine and
report on the people detained there.
The motion carried without dissent
ing voice and the clerk was instructed
to communicate at once with the Sec
retary of the Board of Health.
The letter from Pinkham was then
formally turned over to the Judiciary
Committee.
ROUTINE MATTERS.
Among the purely routine matters
was the reading of a letter from Secre-
tary Loeb acknowledging the receipt OF
the joint resolution regarding the APP
preparation of s15O,00O for the study OF
) leprosy and assuring the House that
it would be passed on to President
Roosevelt.
