"'Your committee is of the opinion
that the passage of this bill might tend
to encourage monopoly in favor of
the present holders of licenses to prac-
tice medicine in that the medical ex.
aminers selected from their number,
would he permitted to impose such
standards of efficiency which are oh.
tainable only in the largest cities of
the Union, and thus prevent new
man from practising here. who might
be equally or more efficient than the
examining board, but not in touch with
their particular school of medicine.
"Your committee therefore consid-
ers that il would be poor policy to
have a law enacted that might be open
to abuses of this kind and therefore
recommends that this bill be tabled

osteopathy Recognized.
The substitute bill follows along the
lines of the present law SO far as reg
ular practitioners are concerned. but
new sections of the laws-the greater
part of the bill-deal with osteopaths.
These practitioners are not required
to secure licenses nor take an exam
ination from the Board of Medical Ex-
aminers, the bill providing that eli.
censes to practice osteopathy may be
granted to graduates holding diplomas
from any legally chartered and regu-
larly conducted school or college of
osteopathy, and further provided that
a certificate to practice osteopathy has
first been obtained from the State
Board of 0steopathic Examiners of the
State of California until such time as
there is an osteopathic board of exam
liners appointed for the Territory of
| Hawaii
The bill provides that osteopaths
must stick to the osteopathy, however,
and not call upon the pharmacopoeia
4 for any assistance All licenses are to
cost $40 a year.
This bill passed first reading and
goes apon the order of the day for sec
ond reading today.
Il Several other routine committee re-
ports were presented and adopted.
Graft Committee Prepares.
Coney, of the special graft investiga.
ton committee, rose, after the presen.
tation of reports, and asked leave of
the House to hold sessions of the com
\ mittee during the hours of sessions of
the House, pointing out that better
progress could be made if it be posi-
BILE at all times to have all the mem
bers, clerks and press representatives
handy to be called upon and put on
the grill.
Cohen objected to this. He said that
the sessions of the graft committee
should be held at time when the mem
beers could be present to hear and assist
in the investigation and at time when
any person mentioned might be present
to hear and defend himself If nee
essary.
Sheldon wanted to know what the
members wanted to hear the proceed.
ings fort
Kaleiopu feared the resolution was
too confined in it's scope, not permit
ting under its wording the examination
of clerks or reporters.
i Long thought the point well taken,
what he wanted was an investigation
searching in its scope. an investigation
that would leave nothing undone to
bring out any truth there might be
in the charges made.
Single stated that this was also
, what he wanted; an investigation from
Q cellar to flagpole. "This is a serious
| matter" he said. "I understand that
this news has been cabled to the main
land and is probably by this time
known in Washington. do not wish
nor intend to be bound down by tech
, nicalities in the investigation.
Attorney General to Help.
IT was announced that Attorney Gen.
eral Hemenway would be present at the
investigation to assist in examining
whatever witnesses would be called.
II The permission to sit during the SEES
! sion was granted the committee and the
, three members-Shingle, Coney and Ka-
4 wewehi-fled out into the Speaker s
private room. Clerk Mossman, of the
!, Police Committee was summoned to
. take down the doings, and Deputy At.
torney General Whitney joined the in
quisitors.
