provisions Of the existing statute snt
after having had public hearings ant
given careful consideration TO the mat
ter. we recommend the following
amendments:
(Here the committee recommend,
changes In the wording of various sec
tions.)
'Section IA. Sorcery. etc, penalty
Any person who shall attempt the eur,
of another by practice of sorcery, witch
craft, anaana, hoopiopio, hoounauna
hoomannmana, or other superstitious oil
deceitful methods, shall, upon convic
tion thereof. be fined in n sum not less
than one hundred dollars, nor more
than two hundred dollars, or be imprs
oned at hard labor not to exceed six

The recommendation contained in
the report of the Health committee rela-
tive to Molokai are about the same rs
those of the House report published in
this paper a few days ago.
CORPORATION FEE.
When the twenty dollar fee PROPOSE
ton got the eve of Representative Rice
in the House there was something do
ing and he advocated n reduction to
ten. This was cut from the Senate,
80 80,
with the result that the lower fee stood
There was some objections to adopting
the report in the Senate but Senator
Smith upheld it on the ground that it
was bad enough to make the corpora
tons file the annual reports; to compel
them to pay twenty dollars for the
privilege of doing so was going too far.
The report was adopted.
TO CONTINUE BURIED.
Senator Chillingworth presented a
report adverse to the bill appropriating
the sum of twenty thousand dollars for
reinterring the remains of chiefs and
kings who have been dead for some
time and comfortably buried in Nuu-
anu. Senator Smith opposed the re-
port and said it was only right that
the remains of these people should
have suitable burial and their bones
protected from vandals. Charles R.
Bishop had done something of the kind
at his own expense. The Senator is
of the opinion that the Legislature
should fall in line. He finally asked
that action on the matter be deferred
and his motion to that end carried.
PROTECTING THE BIRDS.
Senator Hayselden reported on the
bill to protect certain birds as fol-
lows:
cit is made an offense to KILL catch |
or have in possession the birds or the |
eggs of the birds the bill seeks to pro-
tect and the penalty is very substan
tial one. Permits may be granted for
scientific collections of birds and eggs,
under certain stringent conditions and
under bond of 5000, to run for the
season of five months.
"The bill is for the protection of
agriculture and forestry and it is as
serted by those qualified to judge that
The enactment of such law is neces-
'ary and essential to the preservation
If forest trees and other growths.
"We therefore recommend that the
,ill be given consideration.
The report was tabled to be consider
d with the bill.
On the bin to compel the Govern
nent to fence its lands this committee
eported as follows
FENCING LANDS.
THE bill provides that the Govern
lent may be compelled to join in fenc-
1g by an adjoining land owner in the
anne manner as a private person. 1t
Irther provides that the Government,
hall have the same right to compel
ction.
I'VE find, however, that no attempt
as been made to point out the source
