IN THE SENATE
(contlnued from FAC onel


Election upon the legislature if they
passed this bill. If the board of health
were able to refuse the request of the
| legislature as war done recently in the
Wallach case, then nobody could secure
a permit unless the legislature made
the issuance of such permits manda-
tory.
Coelho urged that the bill properly
amended b passed. He said that it
could do not harm if persons were
allowed to treat lepers. Medical science
had found no remedy thus far and they
should not refuse to accept the dis
coveries that laymen might have made.
! He told of case at the settlement,
that had come under his own notice.
He had secured a preparation from
native woman a preparation made from
certain herbs. He had sent this pre-
| paration to the woman at the settle
ment who had been taken there from
Maui. She had used the preparation by
means of baths and had within six
months been cured Of the disease al
though she had gone to the settlement
suffering from very bad case of le-
prosy She was now living on Maui.
The speaker had made the mistake Of
failing to ascertain the ingredients OF
the preparation but he was trying now
and had learned the name of one Of the
herbs He believed he would shortly
find out the remaining ingredients. This
case had occurred in 1898. The bill
would be killed by the pocket veto
anyhow, but as matter of principle he
felt that they ought to pass it
On a vote the minority report, which
passed the bill on second reading,
was adopted as follows Ayes, Brown,
Coelho Hewitt, Lane, Mccarthy, Ma
kekau, Woods and Hayselden, s; noes,
Dowsett, Gandall, Knudsen, Smith and
Bishop 3.
House bill No. 1917, the mongoose
bounty bill came up on third reading.
Coelho moved to table the bill. This
motion was lost. Hayselden made a
minor amendment. Action was after
some discussion deferred until 2 p. m.
House bill No. 211, relating to laun-
dries, passed third reading.
Senate bill No. 1O4 the water COM
panies measure giving them the right
to obtain rights of way, and sites for
reservoirs, etc, on public and private
lands came up on second reading. Hay
selden moved to amend the bill by
taking from the companies the right to
condemn sites and rights of way over
private lands.
Chillingworth thought the bill a very
important one and it had he thought,
) been introduced too late in the session
for the Senate to attempt to amend it.
, He moved that the bill be laid on the
table. Woods moved to indefinitely
postpone. Chillingworth's motion was
put and carried the bill being practical
ly killed for this session.
) Senate bill No 116, regulating the
expenditure of profits derived from
the sale of agriculture and Industrial
products of the Lahainalua school and
the Boys Industrial school, came up on
second reading. Dowsett wanted to
amend the bill by placing the DISPOSE
too of the profits in the hands of the
educational department instead of the
superintendent of education. Haysel-
den urged that the disposal of the in
come be left in the hands of the super
intendent He was the one best qualified
to administer such fund. There might
be jealousy felt by commissioners to-
ward a certain school and they might
hold up or prevent that proper distri-
button of the funds
Coelho said the purpose of the bill
was to encourage the young men OF
Lahainaluna in working during vaca-
ton and other times and they could be
paid directly by the superintendent. 1t
was a measure that had been formed
with special reference to the needs of
Lahainaluna. The Maui people were
in favor of the measure.
Dowsett said that the ibll in its ORR
ginal form was in direct conflict with
the Revised Statutes which placed the
. sole control and administration of the
schools in the hands of the board OF
education.
Hayselden contended that the Senate
had the right to amend the statue.
I as related to the school department. HI
c predicted that if this attemp make
the administration of the schools st
y general, it would result in the counties
E demanding to have the control Of the
schools taken from the territory ant
e put under their control.
. Smith said that Dowsett was incor
rect in his contention. He favored
the purpose of the bill.
The amendment was however voted
e down.
e Bishop spoke against the genera
purpose Of the bill. TIE contended tina
n the bill was on it's face one thing bu
g was in reality something else. II
reality it simply gave the schools al
appropriation in addition to the appro
