NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DAY.

SENATE-THIRTY-S DAY
The kerosene oil bill went to the
morgue yesterday and the primary bill
to the sanitarium. 1t took lot OF
voting, one way and another, to settle
| the oil bill. When the vote was called
on second reading the President count
ed seven hands on each side of the
chamber. Then he tried a standing
asked Senator Chillingworth to call for
the ayes and noes and as the response
was not quick he declared the bill lost
| but relented and had the clerk call the
ayes and noes with no change in the
| result. There is a suspicion that in
stead of being dead the bill is only
sleeping and may be called up this
morning if one of the majority expert
ences change of heart during the
night.
Senator Bishop east the deciding vote
which deferred the primary law for
two weeks The fact is this was plat
form plank and promises were made
concerning it's passage during the cam
paign, but the Senator claims the right
to study all sides of the question and
vote accordingly Senator Bishop de-
nies that the bill is dead and says
he viii study it during the time inter
vening between now and the day set
for the consideration.
The appropriation for departments
was taken up in committee of the whole
in the afternoon with Superintendent
Babbitt and Superintendent Holloway
on the carpet The former was asked
to explain a number of items and did
so but whether to the satisfaction of
the Senator'S or not is unknown as the
items were not considered after the
gentleman left. When Mr.. Holloway
was being questioned relative TO af-
fairs in his department appropriations
for wharves and landings were mention
ed and something said about the $900,-
900 loan bill. Someone called his at
tention to mistake in the bill by
which an item of fifteen hundred dol
lars for work on one of the other is
lands was inserted From the express

WALLACH To
Be HEARD
The House Would Know
More of His Fe-
male Rocks.
HoUsE-THIRTY-sEvENTH DAY.

"Doctor'' Wallach will have'an op-
portunity tonight of appearing before
/ the House members and exhibiting his
collection of female rocks, the roots
of deers' horns and the other wonder
full things from which he prepares his
elixir of life. The House has grown
tired of hearing of this fraud and de-
| sires to have him come forward with
some proof of the braggart statements
he makes in his advertising matter.
Wallach may accept the invitation sent
him by the legislators, but if he does
it will be big surprise to many, his
preference so far having been to
frighten the ignorant into buying his
nostrums rather than to prove the
claims he makes before persons capable
of seeing through him.
The invitation to meet the House
came as the result of the debate yes
terday morning on the resolution to
allow him to practice upon number
of leper patients, Moanauli being spon-
sor for the request. The majority of
the House members realize that to allow
humbug for one minute would make
them the laughing stock of the civilized
world, but there are enough of the mem
bers seriously impressed with the ex-
travagant claims made by the quack
to keep the matter constantly before
the House and prevent the majority
from squelching the ridiculous affair as
promptly as they wish. 1t is realized,
too, that there are many in the Ter
ritory also impressed by reason of the
claims made by Wallach and the cock
sure way in which he throws out his
announcements of the cures he has
already effected, and the claims of these
people are worthy of some consideration
in the House, although the pretensions
are so preposterous as to be irritating
to the average educated man. Tonight
will probably see the end of the female
rock faker.
In connection with this agitation a
bill was presented in the House yes
terday afternoon by Kalana, one of
the Wallach dupes, which says that the
Board of Health "shall'' issue per
nit to ''any person" to treat lepers,
such permit to be good for at least
two years.
Another measure extraordinary in its

DIR. Peterson said that visit by
commission once in two weeks was
ridiculous on the face of it. There
must be some one there at all times.
He added that he spoke only for the
institution and the employees, nothing
personal Under the proposed law there
will be a worse clash than ever in the
management of the asylum.
Judge Perry met objections from
DR. Peterson and showed that the med
zeal board would have control. If the
English language can make that fact
plain it does so in this bill.
Dr. Hodgins stated that in the opin-
ion of the Hawaiian Territorial Medical
Society the bill was a mistake and could
not be made effective as there would
be a clash of authority between the
medical board and the medical super
intendent. Replying to Judge Perry
he did not explain clearly why there
would be a conflict.
Mr.. Pinkham made some remarks re-
fecting upon the proponent of the
bill and Judge Perry commented in
kind upon the remarks.
DR.. Wayson said if the father of
the bill Is working in the interest of
the insane the matter can be arranged

THE POLICE REPORT.

IHE fOLICE hETohI.
The chair asked Archer if his com
mittee was ready to report on the police
investigation.

Every report must be made in pub,

the report right here. -
The following report was then read
by Clerk Kalauokalani:

To the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Oahu. Honolulu.
Gentlemen: Your committee appoint

10th day of March, 1907, in the Court
presided over by the Honorable w. j.

On the 18th day of March, 1907, indict-

jury in court and by order of Judge
Robinson warrants had been issued for
the apprehension of the prisoners in
dicted returnable on the following
morning at o'clock, the time set for
the arraignment of the prisoners.
About $50 or shortly afterwards, the
prisoners were brought into court by a
police officer, who then left, stating
he had orders to return at once. The
prisoners. therefore, some eleven or
twelve, were left with no officer to
guard them. OF this fact the County

At the meeting last night of the
Medical Society, Judge Perry appeared
in the interest of persons in the Insane
Asylum and IN advocating the passage
of a bill now before the Legislature
dealing with the management of the
asylum. This bill places the control
of affairs in the hands of a commits
sion.
Senator Smith opposed any change
of system. Besides having a careful
treatment for the insane he believed
there should also be careful business
management. The Judge said he
port made by the grand jury had a
basis of fact.
DR.. Peterson, resident physician and
medical superintendent of the asylum,
said he thought he understood how they
would come in contact if there were
to be two boards or two executive
heads. He described the present method
of control and treatment aside from
the medical part of it. In case of
treatment of some patients he found it
necessary to be on hand day and night.
He had not been absent from the place
three hours at time during the past
two years.

Matter.

Police and politics played a promi
nent part in last night s session of the
Board of Supervisors.
The main item of business was the
report of the committee appointed to
investigate the matter of certain pris-
oners left unguarded in Judge Robin
son g court on March 16.
Committeeman Archer. Cox and Ke-
aloha reported in substance that Sheriff
Iaukea did not do his entire duty in
the matter, though they were not pre-
pared to say that he wilfully intend
ed to neglect or to refuse to perform
the duties imposed on him by law.
The report was accepted and placed
in the hands of the county attorney
in order that his advice on the legal
phases of the matter may be obtained.
It was decided to put the old garbage
rates in operation again, for this month
at least. The raised schedule has
caused over hundred customers of
the garbage department to quit patron
izing it and the matter is practically
one of whether Honolulu shall be
clean town or otherwise. The Commit
tee ON Sanitation and Health will, be-
tween now and April 30, do some more
revising of the garbage rates schedule.
Present were: Chairman Hustaee, Su-
pervisor -at-Large Harvey, Supervisors

The records of the Molokai settle

so far taken there among the lepers
have an immunity from the disease.

there only of the same diseases as else
where. The disease does not affect

THE students erased one letter in

But it happened few minutes later
that the professor returned for a box
he had forgotten. Amid a roar Of
laughter he detected the change in his
notice, and, approaching the black
board calmly erased one letter in his
turn.
Now the notice read:
