IN THE SENATE
TDRTY- SINTH DAY.

asmathics or COnsumptives came up on
third reading The measure caused a
great deal of discussion, Coelho favor
ed the measure. Smith moved to
postpone the bill He urged that it was
a very serious thing to open the doors
to the wholesale treatment by persons
not trained in such practice.
Bishop made a most convincing
speech against the bill. He said it
went as far i'm one direction as the
other bill did in another. 1t would
be very unwise to publish to the world
the fact that we were giving the
right to any person to practice. 1t
was wrong to advertise the fact that
any one like this miserable perjured
wretch of a Wallach was permitted to
go among the iepers ana practice his
alleged cures Bishop then sounded
the keynote of warning that if the le-
gislature persisted in the threatened
attemp to throw open the islands to
practice by quacks, that the federal
government would step i'm and take
control of the leper settlement
Such thing would mean that instead
Of the patients there being considered
with the sympathy that was shown
them under the present control by the
Territory, it would mean that the
| sexes at Molokai would be segregated.
He had been asked in Washington by
prominent official there if the sexes
were not segregated at the settlement
and when told that they were not, had
expressed the utmdst establishment
and said that it was outrageous. Bishop
urged that they should go slow with
| the bill under consideration and ex-
pressed the hope that the bill as well
as the other measure be laid quietly
away. He urged that the motion be
carried.
Coelho moved to defer further con-
sideration so that the measure could
