KAP|OLAN| HOME TO
COST SUM OF $4,000

Thirty thousand dollars will be asked
from the Legislature to build new
structure for the sisters and girls in
the Kapiolani Girl IS Home. This is the
estimated cost of suitable building.
The place where these people now re-
side is inadequate in space, and is
very old building. In the appropriation
estimate it is stated that the Sisters of
st. Francis have in this line. done
remarkable work. They have been sad
ly neglected. The Sisters think their
long years of work and meager emolu-
ments entitle them to some considera-
tion. Their present accommodations are
in nowise satisfactory.
There was some discussion of this
estimate by the members of the Board
of Health yesterday, but it was finally
decided to leave the whole proposition
as it stood to be submitted to Governor

ed to their having the disease. So it
is, vice versa, in the case in question
Wayson will not pretend to claim a
cure until this point has been decided.
Clinically his man is all right. Bacteri-
Ologically he may still show signs of the
disease, though this has not been prov
en-.
Fred G. Smith raised the question as
to whether the Board had the right to
allow the man to leave the supervision
of the Board of Health without re-
examination. DR.. Wayson answered by
saying that men declared suspects were
allowed to go as they pleased and one
man who had spent three years on
Molokai improved so much that he was
allowed to return, with the provisO
| that he report to the Board of Health
once every three months. Then Dr.
| Wayson stated that under an ordinary
examination he felt sure the man would
| be pronounced not leper, although an
unusually minute and close examination
might discover traces of the disease.
| After considerable discussion, it was
finally decided to refer the matter tt
the Attorney General of the Territory
to find out whether or not the Board OF
| health hau inc power ~ iet man y
without reorganization. Smith doubte,
that the Board had this power, but ex
pressed himself as willing to vote t,
give the man freedom in case he i
wrong. President Mark p, Robinson
and Kalauokalani were also in favor o
the idea. The whole matter will be re
ferred to the Attorney General, VIII
will report at the next meeting.
DR.. j. T. Wayson does not care t
give out any of the details of his won
derful treatment at the present time
He has been conducting experiment

is gradually developing into more pei
! feet form, His personal belief is tina
he will eventually discover aNtreatmen
that will he, if not an actual cure,
