HOME RULERS AND LABoRrrEs
CONTINUED from Pace ~


stick and work together. When Sec.
rotary Garfield, who was here some
time ago. asked me why I remained a
Home Ruler, I told him because II was
the party OF the poor people He
shook hands with me and congratulate
ed me. told him that II he could use
his influence as a Republican towards
making Hawaii a State, ! and all the
rest of the Home Rulers would become
Republicans. Many other prominent
people from the States also expressed
themselves heartily In accord with tho
spirit of the Home Rulers.
"The fishery rights should be bought
so tnat every poor Hawaiian may have
privilege to go and fish freely.
THE Home Rulers have proven
themselves capable of holding office.
The Home Rule members of the
Board Of Supervisors of Hawaii have
built good roads. The lunas. who are
known to be incompetent, have been
supplanted by the Home Rulers, who
are doing good work. II is true that
the county Is In debt. but It Is a Just
debt. It is nevertheless getting out
of II now.
1.-THE newspapers are criticizing the
action of the Home Rule Board Of
Supervisors Of Hawaii because the
Republican lunas have been fired. The
same thing Is being done here by the
party In power. namely the Republican
party: but nothing Is said about It by
the papers. Some of those who at.
tended the Home Rule meetings have
been given walking tickets and still
there is no comment made In the news
papers.
"The bringing OF the European i'm.
migrants into the country IL not good
nor is II beneficial to the local people.
There are enough laborers in the
country, but the planters do not EN-.
ploy them. Should these immigrants
ever get here at all. the Hawaiians and
their children and their children's
children will have very slim show
so far as the local affairs are con.
| cerned.
"The Advertiser reported that 90.
900 men will be stationed at the local
ports. This will mean that many me.
chanics will come along and In few
years they will become voters"
Motley also included In his speech
the Hawaiian language cIause and the

A question Of far-reaching Importance,
rs an ambulance, responding TO life
and-dsath call, entitled 20 exceed the Dis
trict speed regulations?" win be debated
in the Police Court to-day.
As the indirect result Of the collision
between the ambulance Of Casualty Hos
pital and a street car at East Capitol and
Seventh streets on May Il. a warrant has
been sworn out for the arrest Of Edward
Dade. the ambulance driver. charging him
with exceeding speed regulations.
The warrant was sworn to by J. C.
Smith. detective, Of the Fifth precinct
II charges that at the time OF the aeci-
dent Dade was driving faster than twelve
miles an hour
Not Taken Into Custody.
Smith took the warrant to Casualty
Hospital for service yesterday evening,
and asked that the attending physician
leave so for the appearance Of the driver
In Police Court to-day. DR.. H. w. Mof-
fatt would not do this.
There was no one except Dade to drive
the ambulance last night. He was not
be in court to-day.
The warrant is understood to be the
outcome Of an investigation following
the accident on May A.
The investigation was made on the or
der Of Capt. Mathews, of the Fifth pre-
oinct. The warrant was sworn out sew
eral days ago.
As the accident happened in the Ninth
md Of hot Frf1
made no more than a casual investiga-
ton, the warrant, taken out at the insti-
CATION of Capt Mathews. came as a dis
tinct surprise
In the police regulations an ambulance
is given the right OF way over any other
vehicle. but there Is nothing said about
the speed at which it may travel
Never before, however, in the recollec-
ton or police officials has the driver Of
q hospital ambulance been arrested or
ordered to court for exceeding the speed
regulations. While nothing is said OF the
speed of anbulences In the regulations, a
precedent was established years ago,
whereby the driver Of an ambulance was
allowed 10 go as fast as occasion might
require.
Opinion Given by Pugh.
Police OF the Fifth precinct stated last
night that Assistant Corporation Counsel
James Pugh had said in Issuing the war
rant there was no law giving an ambu-
lance the right 10 go at a greater rate
OF speed than any other vehicle. He
is accredited with saying that If the am
bulance is driven at a greater rate OF
speed than twelve miles an hour, the
driver is violating the speed regulations.
and is liable to punishment
Against the arguments Of the police and
assistant corporation counsel is arraigned
that Of physicians all over the city. The
doctors say that when a life Is in the
balance there is no law that can stop
them from going 70 the patient as quickly
as possible.
Even in the cases Of private physi-
clans, the police viii not make an arrest
for violation of the speed law If the
physician can show he Is making a call
upon a patient who is IN a critical con-
dition.
It was said last night by a physician.
who asked that his name be not used.
that should the prosecution Of the driver
be continued and the case Of the police
be upheld by the court, an appeal would
be taken, the driver being upheld by the
Medical Association and Medical Society
OF the District Of Columbia.
