Chillingworth Explains
CoelhO triumpnantly pointed out
to ChilliuFworth that the latter's
statement. made yesterday afternoon,
to the effect that the Government
had been to no expense, was erro-
ncous. Chillingworth responded that
he had been told, by supposedly good
authority, that the japanese Mer-
chants Association had borne the
entire expense.
The bill providing that persons in
extremis may be treated by anyone
whom they may elect, licensed ply
stefan or otherwise, proved greater
bone of contention than anyone had
Expected, and took up great part
OF the forenoon.
Coelho, as chairman of the Health
bill, was n warm partizan. and
fought for his pet measure yaliartly.
President Smith, distinctly conserva-
tive in his belief, opposed the meas
ure as radical and dangerous.
Medical Bill Fight
Turning the Chair over to the Vice
President, Senator Smith took the
floor and argued eloquently against
the passage of the bill lie express
ed the conviction that the amended
bill is even more obnoxious than the
one first introduced and that the
passage of the measure would not
only be unwise but would positively
be dangerous.
Coelho respondedly warmly, in
sisting that many persons other than
licensed physicians were successful
healers, and demanding that sick
folk whose lives have been despaired
| of by regular practitioners, be giver
. a chance to choose some other person
to treat them. Said he:
Hawaiians Cure Leprosy
. Many Hawaiians, not doctors. arr
@ natural physicians. They use herb
