PASSED A FEW BILLS ON SECOND
READING AT THE AFTERNOON
SESSION AND THEN ADJOURNED
SENATE.
THIRTEENTH DAY.
AFTERNOON SESSION.

Senate Bill No. As, which reduced the
rate of interest from to per cent
was the first measure that came up
and was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee.
House Bill No. 50, relating to pro-
viding for the free distribution of
copies of the Hawaiian Statutes and
Decisions of the Supreme court to va
rious public officials and public libra
ries, was favorably reported on by the
Miscellaneous Committee. The report
was adopted.
From the Judiciary Committee was
reported House Bill Is, amending the
statutes relating to coroner's inquests.
The committee amended the House bill
by providing that a coroner could in
his discretion call an inquest and that
persons serving on a jury should re-
ceive 81 a day and the coroner can fine
them not exceeding $40 or imprison
them not more than 10 days if they
fail to appear without reasonable eX-
cuse. The report was adopted, carry
ing the bill on it's second reading.
Senator Coelho of the Health Com
mittee reported favorably on a bill to
establish a hospital at Kohala for in
digent people with the understanding
that pay patients would be received
and their contributions go to maintain
the hospital The report was adopted.
! Senate Bill No. 8S, relating to the
I establishment of an Agricultural Col
| lege was reported for some important
amendments. The provision to create

, be made. The report was laid on the
table.

requested to appear before the House
with such instruments and informa-
ton as may be necessary to enlighten
the members of that body in regard to
the disease of leprosy in the Territory.
Mr.. Rice suggested that it were bet
ter for the House to appoint a COM
mittee to visit the Health department
and secure this information. Repre-
sentative Kaniho proposed that a ply
stefan be appointed to accompany the
committee, to verify such scientific
statements as might be made by the
government doctors; he suggested DR.
]. Lor Wallach for this office.
Mr. Rawlins then denounced CDR"
Wallach's ethical standing. He fail
ed to see how an alleged doctor who
claimed to cure leprosy with "moss
gathered from female rocks at a level
of 1000 feet below the sea" Quoting
from a pamphlet issued by the said
Wallach) could inspire any respect in
the eyes either of reputable physicians
or the public. Representative Hughes
opposed the resolution as offered. He
favored an amendment providing for
the appointment of a joint committee
from the House and Senate which
should on a day to be designated ac-
companied by reputable physicians,
meet the Health officers at the Kalihi
receiving station. The resolution as
amended was adopted
Fortunately for those members of
the House who desire that the business
of the Legislature be concluded in 60
days, the report of the committee on
Health recommending that the Kalei-
opu-KanihO vaccination bill be tabled
was adopted on the motion of Repre-
sentative Rice. Mr.. Mahoe believes that
the vaccination law as it stands is
responsible for the death of many Ha-
waiians; Mr.. Hughes claimed that, on
the contrary, it had saved many lives.
At u o'clock the House took a recess
until 2.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The House resumed business at 2
O'Clock.
A concurrent resolution was intro
duced by Representative Rice, appOr-
tioning the Federal Appropriation as

Laws, relating to vaccination. Pass,

mittee of the Whole with Represen
tative Joseph in the chair; a recess

Concerning an item in the Board of
Health estimate for the payment of
claims for property damaged by fumi-
cation in re the plague there was an
argument, which as it progressed, be-
come heated. Mr.. Rice moved that the
committee call on Mr.. Pmkham for an
explanation of these claims as a whole.
Mr.. Kaniho expended a good deal of
breath and wasted many minutes of
the Houses time by insisting upon the
consideration of a specific item in
which he seemed interested. Mr.. Hugh
es explained in vain that If Mr.. Kaniho
would permit Mr. Pinkham to proceed,
this claim would be made clear with
the others. Mr.. Kaniho refused to
yield, until Mr.. Hughes finally losing
patience, compared Mr. Kaniho to a fly
on a wagon wheel which thought it
was raising all the dust. Mr. KanihO
then subsidized and Mr.. Pinkham pro.
Cttutu WIN MS tApldlldllOn OIL the
items 1t developed that these claims
had been estimated only by compro-
mise. Representative Long objected
to this, expressing the belief that heads
of departments had no authority to
make compromises; the claims, he said
should be adjusted in the courts. The
claims in question are as follows: K
Masaki $74,66; Wing On Chong, 1881;
Sam Hop, $3.9S; Lam Yin, $500; Kwone

MAHER BUT A
MERE SHADOW

New Orleans, Feb. 16.-One of the
tragedies of the prize ring was enacted
here this week. Peter Maher, Irish
champion" showed all through the
week at the Lyric theater-a popular
amusement house managed by Par
son" Davies, of Peter Jackson Jim"
Corbett days. After the afternoons
racing and the dinner at the hotel were
over, sporting men dropped around in
numbers to see Peter. The Irish
champion" drew bumper houses.
What sorry sight he presented! The
night before accepting the engagement
at the Lyric, Maher slipped up too
much corn juice, or else he would not
have tucked a left hook beneath the
jaw point of his mother-in-law, a cir
cumstance which brought him and all
his relatives into the police court. But
to get back to the tragedy end of the
story. Maher appeared each evening
in a sparring exhibition of three
rounds with KID Phillips, of this
city, husky middle-weighjt Poor
Peter He has grown older than Mo-
ses. Fitzsimmons is a spring chicken
compared to the Irishman. He APP
peared on the stage fat and stiff and
with scarce a strand of hair on his
pate.
Ever fastidious, Maher wore a suit
of pink tights and a green Irish belt
one night last week. In the second
round Phillips uppercut him and he
dropped to his knees The old fellow
couldn't get up for a few seconds,
bringing to the minds of the old-timers
in the house the finish of his fight
with f tz at Langtry, Texas, twelve
years ago, when Peter went out IN
single punch a few minutes after the
gong of the opening round. Maher is
one of the few figures of the pugilstic
heyday left standing. Soon he will
be gone, too Stu the old fellow may
get a fight down here this winter, as
the ever ingenious set at Algiers, La,
is thinking of bringing together Felix
Vauquelin, a local heavyweight who
once gave Jake" Nilrain a good min,
and Maher. If the bout occurs it will
be on a Sunday afternoon down the
Mississippi, where Paddy" Ryan and
Tom" Coburn fought years ago. In
fact, the ring is to be pitched on the
same historic spot.
