4 BELGIAN DOCTOR
\ MOLOKAI VISITOR

Among the recent visitors to the
lerer settlement was DR.. Dekeyser, a
representative of the Belgian Govern
nnent. He was especially requested to
visit the settlement if possible. The
Belgian Government is especially inter
ested in the settlement because most,
if not all. of the priests and brothers
in charge of churches and institutions
at the settlement are Belgfans by birth.
Father Damien was a Belgian. DR..
Dekeyser. after his visit, said that the
settlement, in the comfort and provi-
sion it made for the lepers, and in the
generally cheerful and contented life
which they led, was a revelation to
him He said he should report to his
government that the genealogical be-
lief of the dolor and suffering of the
lepers and of daily martyrdoms to the
horrors of the lazaretto of those who
devote their lives TO the care of the
lepers is without foundation.
DR.. Dekeyser landed at Kaunakakai,
and went across. the island and over
the steep pail TO the settlement.

BILLIARD GAME

The first of series Of games for
the billiard championship of the Ter
ritory was played last night on the
Moana Hotel table between Robert L.
Scott and A w. Howe, both of Homo
lulu. The game was handicap, Howe
starting out to run a string of three
hundred before Scott had caromed for
the two hundredth time, doing it with
a very comfortable margin to spare.
The score at the end of the game stood:
Howe, 800; Scott, las.
Howe was ahead Of his handicap al
most from the first shot Scott appear
ing to be nervous and falling down
on some rather easy positions early in
the game. He picked up towards the
last of the contest, however, and kept
almost up to his opponents average,
but too late to help him.
Howe played a steady game, averag
ing ten points and having one run over
thirty and several over twenty,
The second game of the three will be
played at the Moana on Monday night.
