Doctors Command Hospital Ships.

Doctors Command Hospital Ships.
Surgeon General Rixey maintains
that hospital ships, as a rule. always
have been commanded by medical Of.

This particular vessel, he says, form.

when used as hospital ship. In at.
tempting to unity the medical services
of the army and the navy, he says
that joint army and navy board OF
medical officers, which was convened
by executive order more than a year
ago, recommended that hospital ships
should be commanded by medical Of
ticers and that that recommendation
was approved by both the secretary of
war and the secretary of the navy in
general orders. Since the civil war,
he says, all hospital ships and med.
ical transports of the army had been
placed under the surgeon general of
the army. He says further that Japa.
nese naval hospital ships were com,

he says, are simply floating hospitals,

The internal administration of the

says, has been, in my opinion, too

He adds that he cannot understand
how Admiral Brownson should be
specially interested in the officering
of hospital ships, as his duties lie in
another direction, and that he should
not interfere in a matter pertaining
entirely to the bureau of medicine and
surgery, and therefore to be decided
by the secretary of the navy.

The Feeling Between the Navigation

Washington, Dec. 26.-The feeling

unless the matter can be permanently

in internal disruption.
Congress is expected to make the

ACTION IN
LANAI DEAL
Continued from Page one.)

he is undecided about the matter and
wants to be advised by the public, but
where secretly he has evidently made
up his mind weeks in advance to put
the deal through without regard to the
possible adverse opinion of the public.
what the representation that he
could have made to the President to Sc
cure the Presidents approval was,
am at a loss to imagine. Certainly
the deciding of a vast extent of public
territory, is in direct opposition to the
spirit and evident intent of the Presi-
dents policy of desiring to distribute
our lands in small areas to permanent
settlers and to establish a solid middle
class of citizens and home owners in
our midst.
Again in his public interviews the
governor made pretentions to great
fairness in the matter of suspending
all proceedings toward making that
exchange until after the matter had
been entirely settled in the courts. At
1880 o'clock yesterday morning the
opinion of the Supreme Court was made
public and within a few hours the
transfer of interests had been made.
That such a deal involving the transfer
of property aggregating over 100000,
could have been made within a short
time seems incredible. H. e. Cooper
the attorney for the Giffard interests,
that are, am informed, back Of
Charles Gay in securing this Lanai land
was constantly, Immediately prior to
yesterday in consultation with Land
Commissioner Pratt and the attorney
general. Possibly those conferences
might have been upon some other sub
ject but in view of the promptness with
which the exchange followed the de-
cision, the circumstances forms very
odd coincidence, to put it mildly.
GAS a matter of fact, I am by no
means, certain that the government
is not in contempt in making this trans
fer. Unless the Supreme Court cam

temporary injunction that 1 secured
from the circuit court, is still in eff

department in it's desire to blindly

acts, may have INDUCED in some more
of its improper practice by secretly OBJ
tanning from the Supreme Court, with
out the knowledge of my attorney, an
order causing the remittitur to he
sent at once to Judge De Bolt. But
unless that precaution was taken, Land
Commissioner Pratt is clearly guilty
of contempt Of court. But as the gov
ernor puts it, in an interview in the
Advertiser this morning the pardoning
power rests with him. So if Pratt
gets into Jail for contempt of the courts
he can get out again by grace of the
governor
But aside from that purely technical
feature of the matter, the deal is put
through in the face of my public ut
terances and the utterances of my
counsel that l proposed to carry the
matter to the Supreme Court of the
United States in event of an adverse
decision being given by the local SUI
preme Court,
Throughout the entire affair the
governor has been dishonest in his
dealings with the public. He was
moreover most insulting to the public.
1t was an insult to this community and
especially to the people who attended
that conference to have them come to
that meeting, where they were nothing
but a set of dummies so far as any real
influence that they could have upon
the proposed deal was concerned in
view of the Presidents approval.
I'm conclusion, note that the gov
ernor says the incident is closed. L
will amend that statement. 1t is not
closed, for 1 intend to carry this matter
to the Supreme Court Of the United
States and have it finally settled. Until
the final construction Of our land laws
is made by the highest tribunal in the
land, 1 would not give very much for
the Gay or the Giffard interest in the
governments land on Lanai"
