THE MOLOKAI VISIT.
The Health Committee submitted a
long report on the recent visit to the
Settlement on Molokai. The report re-
viewed the fact that it was agreed with
the Board of Health that a large num-
Der of passes to the enclosure were to
be granted, a smaller number to the
superintendent grounds and a still
smaller number to allow the committee
and Legislators free facility for investi-
cation.
'.All parties were to conform strictly
to the rules and regulations of the
Board of HEALTH said the report. ITO
aid in carrying out these agreements
through the courtesy of High Sheriff
Henry, nine officers of the Honolulu po-
lice force accompanied your committee
and we are glad to say carried out their
orders to the letter"
The committee recommended the
granting of the following requests:
l. An assistant physician.
2 A poi making machine.
g. Increase of clothing allowance to
SO quarter.
4. Refusal of wine and beer license.
.. a $500 annual appropriation for
amusement of lepers.
Need of better water works and road
improvements We're touched upon and
the necessity of a home for non-leprous
boys is dealt with.
The report spoke with enthusiasm of
the tact and ability of Superintendent
McVeigh and of the good will borne
him by the inmates.

Depew Star Examiner.

Senator Depew today resumed his at
tendance at the committee hearings and
signalized his re-appearance by taking
prominent part in the cross-cxamina-
ton of Witness Stephens.
The New York Senator wished to
know particularly about the validity OF
revelations alleged to come direct from
God to the head of the church
Witness Stephens showed a disposition
to regard lightly the claim that such
revelations came from the Deity. Instead
he intinlated his view that the people
usually decided what they wanted in the
way of a revelation. and that then the
revelation was announced promptly as
having come to the head of the church
Summarizing this view, the witness de-
cl3red that usually il WAS the idea of
.-NoN popub, vCx dei''-that the voice of
the people is thereby the voice of God.
This seemed TO agree with Mr.. Depew s
idea OF the case. Senators Foraker and

GEeries by members of the committee.

FACTS WITHOUT BIAS

Twice denouncing President Joseph
F. Smith for continuing to live in
polygamous relations with n multi
pliclty of wives, and telling of the
conditions due to Mormonism in Utah,
Witness Frank b. Stephens, of Salt
Lake City, today gave more direct and
interesting testimony in the Smoot in
qairy than has been ELECTED IN good
while by the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections.
Mr. Stephens, who is Democrat. a
non-Mormon, and an ex-assistant
United States attorney for Utah, did
not prove to be the especial witness of
the Smoot side, but gave testimony
favorable at times to the Mormon
Church, and again denunciation of it
and its leaders.
Mr.. Tayler Relents.
He seemed willing TO follow without
objection the lines laid down by Attor-
ney Van Cott for Senator Smoot. but
when Attorney Tayler, on cross-exam-
nation started out vigorously to break
down that testimony, witness declared
with emphasis that he was ready to
tell of facts as he knew them and
would testify without bias
After this Mr.. Tayler's questions wt-a
