EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT AT CUR ITS SCHOOL.
 The entertainment of the Curtis school, last Friday night, far surpass-
 ed any previously given, both as to quality and variation of the exercises. It was very tony affair, everything
 being on the latest ideas of modern. high class schools. The boys were ali dressed in white pants and in what would be called full dress for an enter tainment of the kind. The exercises were nearly all of calisthenical nature, being in time to music from the piano. There was much marching which was so accurately done as to forcibly re- mind one of dress parade. There was large and appreciative audience, which applauded very warmly ali through the performance. The violin solos by Lawrence Curtis were very creditably executed, giving variety to the exercises. The credit of the sue cess of the entertainment was due al- most entirely to the first assistant teacher, Miss Susie L. Whitcome, who can feel well repaid for her efforts. Quite large number of the parents and friendssof the. boys were present from out of town, including a clergy man from California.

WHITEWASHES PINKHAM.

The majority report, submitted and
read after the above, follows:
eve do not concur.
"The infractions of the rules of the
Board of Health during the late visit
of the Legislature were, according to
the, evidence, almost entirely by mem
bers of the Legislature and two drunk,
en- men, and largely while the Presi-
dent of the Board of Health, and the
Superintendent were engaged in listen
ing to the complaints of lepers at the
meeting.
g While we feel that Mr.. Pinkham
made a mistake in judgment in allow
ing permits to more people than could
properly be restrained with the force
of the Settlement, but we think that
his judgment was affected largely by
his intense sympathy for the lepers,
who objected strenuously to having to
visit their friends through the barri-
cades surrounding the corral. The
mistake is not likely to occur again,
and Mr.. Pinkham is too valuable a
man in that position to lose.

beginning 1.-the attention, Mr.. Pink
ham states that ''no specific act, or
specific failure TO act is alleged in the
resolution.
Your committee submits that any
officer of the government failing to
carry out his duty TO the fullest extent
ought to be discharged and more par
ticularly as the President of the Board
of Health is by the laws clothed with
very large powers, and powers which
even the Governor dare not evade !;
and further, all the evidence adduced
clearly shows incompetency on the part
of L. E. Pinkham.
Your committee were strongly i'm
pressed with the admission in the evl-
dence given by L. Z. Pinkham, and
borne out by j. D. McVeigh, to the eff
feet that eighteen hours before the
people arrived at kalaupapa, the Pres
ident of the Board of Health sent a
message to Kalaupapa informing the
Superintendent of the Leper Settle
ment that there was no need of a cor
raj, etc.
We believe it is one of the solemn
duties of the Senate to advise the Gov
ernor to remove an officer who is in
competent and especially head of
principal department, which depart
ment has absolute powers in many
cases where the life and property of
the public are in many ways under its
control.
A copy of the evidence produced,
the statement of l.. E. Pinkham ana
several letters fled during the course
of examination, are hereby fled with
the clerk of the Senate.
We therefore recommend that the
resolution pass.
Respectfully submitted,

THE SENATE.

Yesterday afternoon the Senate pass
after debate that was marked with
some acrimony, and after an amend
ment that may, or may not, meet with
the favor of the Governor-if it gets
the concurrence of the House.
Consideration of the bill came at the
end Of long days session, and at
first it seemed extremely probable that
no amendment would be permitted be-
yond those reported by the Dowsett
committee, and which were believed to
have the sanction of the Governor. A
while the clerk was reading it were
made, but Senator Dowsett, who led
the fight for it, seemed to have
his majority well in hand, and these
efforts were all voted down.
When the reading had been con-
Guided, and the vote was called for,
Achi moved that consideration of the
bill be Indefinitely postponed because,
he claimed the provisions of Section "a
made a criminal of an innocent per-
son, and under the law of the Ter
ritory he said that could not be done.
Section "a was the one most strenu-
ously objected to, but the Senator had
objection also to Sections Al and 4S,
and to that section which provided
that q man twice convicted of drink
enness should be considered as an ha-
bitual drunkard for the purposes of the
act.
McCandless also spoke against the
bill, and Paris said he would rather
have the law as it is now than vote
for the passage of this act.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-04-25
PosTPoNEMENT BEATEN.

The vote then came on Achi's mo-
tion to postpone indefinitely, and it
was beaten, IL to 4, as follows:
Ayes-Achi, Bishop, McCandless,
Paris-4
Nays-Brown, Dickey. Dowsett, Gan
dali, Hayselden, Hewitt, Isenberg,
Kalama, Lane. Wilcox, Woods-11.
Then Hayselden moved an amend
ment to the law by striking out the
offensive Section "a, saying that if the
section Were out he would support the
bill. The motion carried, and the sec
ton goes out. The section is as fol-
lows:
Section "a. When a minor, habitual
drunkard, or any person to whom it is
unlawful to sell or furnish intoXicat-
ing liquor, is convicted of the offense
of being found intoxicated, he shall be
detained by the Judge or District Mag
lstrate before whom he has been con-
victed, and shall upon oath before
such Judge or District Magistrate, at
the time of such conviction or as soon
thereafter as possible, disclose the
places where and the person or per-
sons of whom the liquor producing such
1ntoxlcatlon was obtained and the cir
cumstanees attending it, and if he
does not so disclose when required to
do so, he shall be imprisoned until he
does disclose, or until discharged by
/ the Judge or Magistrate, on motion of
or with the consent of the Sheriff or
Deputy Sheriff of the District.
THE BILL PASSES.
The vote then came on the passage
of the bill, and it was passed by pre-
clsely the same vote that defeated the
Achi motion to postpone Indefinitely.
