the liquor men urged the swipes argu-
ment. During this discussion it was
brought out that the five police on the
force could not keep down the Illicit
sale nor catch the sellers, disclosure
which brought a demand from Senator
Smith that Sheriff waiamau be
brought up to explain.
WALLACH'S PATIENTS.
In discussing Wallach two men came
forward who said they had been pa
tients of his and had been greatly
helped by his medicine until they had
been arrested and sent to the settle

All Nj told of being treated for tive
weeks, during which time he had re-
gained the use of his hand. He had
been promised a cure in six weeks and
believed it would have been accom-

treatment. He had been brought to
the settlement in July Hast.
Kalani All Fab told a somewhat
similar story. He had had the disease
since 1898 and yet wallach had done
wonders for him in two weeks.
There was a warm debate, Charles

to have Wallach attend them. Pressed

Catholic chapel was about to COM

tended. The service was led by Father
Dutton and his earnest assistants. At
ter the service the grounds and build
ings Of the Baldwin Home for boys
was inspected, the committee finally
coming TO business on the lanai of the
Baldwin Hall, before which the resi-
dents of the Ka1awao settlement had
grouped themselves. During the in
spection of this place it was seen that
things were in about as perfect con-
dition as possible, conveniently ar
ranged. splendidly kept up, clean and
comfortable. The boys band played
number of well-rendered airs.
RECEIVING PETITIONS.
Chairman Coelho of the Senate Health
Committee acted as spokesman of the
delegation, taking up the various petit
lions which had been received by the
Senate from the settlement and getting
the views of the residents upon them.
The residents had a number of things
to ask for. Their yearly allowance for
clothing of $40 was desired increased to
SIG and made payable in cash instead
of in warrants negotiable only for
goods at the government store. They
wished the goods at this store to be
sold at cost and not at an increase of
ten per cent, as at present. They |
wanted their weekly allowance of paiai
increased from q pounds to Is pounds. |
and meat from seven to eight pounds. |
These things all were agreed upon.

THE BISHOP HOME.

Returning to Kalaupapa, the COM
mittee visited the Bishops Home for
Girls, the inmates of which played and
sang for the visitors. 1t was here, of
all places, that the terribly pathetic
side of the settlement life was impress
ed upon the committee, and, in the
one or two addresses that were made.
the voices of the legislators trembled
and there were many bedimmed eyes.
Sister Marianne showed the visitors
through the schoolrooms and wards of
the home, assuring the visitors that the
inmates were happy. The quiet way in
which this Sister and her assistants
spoke of their duties, eliminating all
reference whatever or suggestion of the
sacrifice of their lives in Their work for
others, was one incident of the visit
which will live long in the memories of
those who heard.

WALLACH AN ISSUE.

One of the presented petitions asked
the Legislature to prevent the granting
of permission to j. Lor Wallach to
practise on the people of the settlement,
presented TO counterfeit the prayer of
the citizens of Kalaupapa, who desired
Wallach's aid. The good sense of the
petitioners of Kalawao was praised by
Coelho, Long, Kaleiopu and Coney, but
the good advice of these speakers and
the exposure they made of the fake
doctor were to some extent neutralized
by the injudieious and mischieyous
speeches Of Kaleo and Kahana.
Kaleo told the sufferers that he was
decidedly in favor of allowing Wallach
to come to the settlement and practise.
Wallach had cured himself of leprosy
and should be allowed by the Board Of
Health to come and cure others.
Kahana went even further in making
ill-timed remarks. his speech proving
10 be a plea for the quack and showing
a desire to inf1ame the patients with
the hope that by using the medicine
mans specifics Of Wallach they might
be cured He declared that Wallach
had satisfied him of his ability to cure
and that the Legislature was not fair
to Wallach. insomuch as it had never
asked him TO make good his claims.
A petition for increased pay was pre-
sented. Senator Smith stating that the
same was now under discussion in the
House and that the item for free

LIQUOR QUESTION.

A petition had been presented to the
Legislature asking that the sale of pure
liquors in the settlement be allowed.
and this led to a spirited debate, the
majority of the residents being seems
ingly against any such a movement.
The speakers in favor of the free im-
portation and sale of liquors argued
from the standpoint that at the present
time the settlement was full of swipe
joints, to prevent and abolish which
was beyond the power of the police.
Pail of Kauai, who spoke plainly on
several of the questions at issue, said
that he would never vote to allow liq-
uors in the settlement, as it would be
as criminal as would be the giving OF
poison to the patients.
Give us more food and keep the liq-
uors OUT shouted Kahalekukona, be-
ing cheered by his fellow patients for
the sentiment.

LEPROSARIUM SITE.

The visitors then accompanied DR..
Brinckerhoff to the site of the proposed
leprosarium, a beautiful level stretch
of ground at the foot of the towering,
verdure-clad pail, which here rises even
more precipitous than at any other
point along the green ramparts. When
it was seen on the ground the amount
of space that the Federal building wilt
occupy, the committee were decidedly
posed work.

postage stamps had been passed in
spite Of the Governor.
GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE.
Polkapu, the spokesman for the Ka-
lawao residents. asked for an expIana-
ton of the bill before the Legislature
making leprosy a ground for divorce.
The impression prevailed that by the
bill divorce proceedings must be
brought against any one sent to the
settlement, and there was general
air of relief when it was explained that
the proceedings were optional, not COM
pulsory.
A quartet club then sang a song of
welcome and thanks for the visiting
legislators, composed for the occasion.

ranchmen here are watching with
great curiosity and apprehension
and fear a natural phenomenon
which is now in progress little
to the northwest of the Hooper

above the creek are falling away
and rolling into the valley with a
noise which can be heard for
many miles. The valley is rising
and during the last month has
risen 6 feet. A ridge has risen in
such a manner as to intercept the
