HAWAII POLICE BILLS.
Moanauli explained the status of the
police bills of Hawaii run during some
months of 1905, for the time served
under the first faulty County Act and
asked for authority to pay them, the
accounts being just and fair but which
the auditor now had no authority to
settle
Rawlins raised the point that the
claimants had a plain and speedy way
through the courts of forcing the audi
tor of Hawaii to issue their warrants,
provided the supervisors who appoint
ed them approved their claims. If the
supervisors did not approve, it was q
bad precedent for the Legislature to
NEEDLE in the internal affairs of the
county. The House should be care
full Of going on record. although he
| believed the men should be paid. This
was not a question Of the men or
their claims but of the principle be-
hind the bill. He asked for a short
time to get further information This
was agreed TO and the bill placed on
the order Of the day for today.
MEDICAL SCHOOL INSPECTOR.
Kaniho opposed the bill to appoint
Medical School Inspector. He failed
to see the benefit of such an official
when there were government physi-
clans in each district. The right Civ
en- to the Inspector TO examine each
child, whether sick or not, and with
out authority from the parents.
AT this point Hughes rose to a point
of order and demanded a literal in
depreciation of the speech, Kaniho
having tossed off a few choice Ha-
waiianisms which the interpreter slid
over in turning the words into Eng
lish
The Speaker decided that the point
was not well taken.
Kaniho resumed his attack on the
bill which gave such an Inspector too
much liberty over the persons of the
children. The suspect law, which
seemed to be the real fear behind the
medical inspection, was referred to,
the idea being brought out that the
inspector would result in children be-
ing suspected of leprosy and hurried
to Kalihi
Kaleo seconded the motion to indef-
fnitely postpone.
Kaleiopu spoke on the bill as the in
PRODUCER and also as a parent who
would never have introduced any bill
that would result in danger to his
children, such as was feared by the
member from Kohala. He denied that
any intention of the law was TO en-
large the suspect law. He regretted
seeing some members INJECTING 1GttdS :
into the bills which it does not con-
tain.
Kaniho and Kaleiopu fired at each |
other across the floor Of the House, |
their main remarks being confined to |
the duties Of the inspector regarding /
leper suspects.
Kaleiopu admitted that the Board 4
of Health was opposed to the meas /

ment schools. The vote on the third 1
reading was called for, Kaleiopu ask |
ing that all the members be called /

MARKING BALLOTS.
The House went back to the proper /
order of business TO allow Rawlins TO /
introduce a bill providing for an i'm
proved method of marking ballots in |
elections The bill passed first read
