Injured in Harvard Game.

West Point, N. Y.-Cadet A. Eu-
gene Byrne of Buffalo, U. S. A., a
fourth year man at the United States
Military Academy, died in the cadet
hospital, sacrifice to football.
The army is accustomed to death,
but not In this deplorable form; and
this tragedy Of the gridiron has
brought such poignant grief to off,
GERS and cadets alike that the end Of
football at West Point and Annapolis
Is predicted by many.
Brave as was the young soldiers
fight against death. it was hopeless
from the start. Buried beneath a
mass of struggling players in the
Harvard-Army game, his neck was
twisted and broken by the weight Of
the crushing pile above him, and he
was picked up with every nerve of
his body, except those of his head and
face, helpless to perform their func-
TONS Only the immediate resort to
artificial respiration kept the boy
from almost instant death.
Because OF the death Of Cadet
Byrne no more football will be played
by the West Point eleven this year
This statement was made by Colonel
Hugh L. Scott, superintendent Of the
United States Military Academy, ar
ter consultation with the athletic
authorities of the academy on the
death of young Byrne.

Saloon keepers and bartenders, be

Others whose names are not con.

rate bill to appropriate money for
the payment Of the trustees of the es-
tate of Bernice Pauahi Bishop for the
taking of certain lands by the Tern
tory. 1t says:
Your committee has carefully in
vestigated the merits of this bill and
finds that owing to the error of a gov
eminent surveyor now deceased,
these certain homesteads were located
by the government upon private
lands. This bill will clear the title of
innocent parties.
1--WE further find that the govern
ment is powerless under the law to
make the parties responsible for their
error, otherwise your committee would
suggest that action be instituted
against them to recover the amount
named in this bill.

That the board favors a law whereby

Your committee is inclined to be-
lieve that the restrictions imposed by
law has prevented proper tests being
made in the past by those who be-
lieved in the efficacy Of the treatment
of the diseases named in the bill. We
know many instances where the pro-
fessional medico had given up hope,
and the insignificant and apparently
ignorant herb man saves the abandon
ed patient"
Coelho presented a report on Senate
hill to repeal the compulsory vaccina-
ton law, finding that the principal
objection to the existing law is mainly
against the present lack Of proper re-
stlictions to prevent .he vaccination
of children without any attempt at
protecting them from imparting or
taking disease by means of the agency
in command of the yaccinating officer.
THE Objectionable features or the
ated if proper safeguards are enacted.
1t is the opinion OF the committee that.
with the repeal Of Sections 1917 and
lOlS as proposed by House bill 50 as
amended, and an amendment to Sen
ate bill % as herenbelow submitted,
Will meet all the requirements of law
as safeguard to the community"
Fairchild cOncurs in the report ex-
cept the requirement that the consent
OF parent or guardian should be in
writing. ...
Coelho presented a report from the
health committee on House bill to re-
peal the law relating to certificates of
vaccination, recommending it's passage
with verbal amendments stated. The
report is unanimous and SAYS:
The bill seeks to repeal law
which prohibits the admission of a
child in any school without producing
!" vi NillNebIO vi NdCClUdllOu anu DIO-
ViGing for a penalty to be imposed on
teachers who admit such child to
school.
"On investigation, we find that this
law has never been enforced because
OF the unjust provisions made there
in. 1t prohibits the admission to school
OF any healthy child of school age to
any school where no proper facilities
are made for the vaccination of chill
Gren. Temporary admission TO school
is not allowable by the law, were it
TO be interpreted strictly in accordance
with its provisions.
The committee finds further, that
Sections 1917 and 1919 pertaining to
vaccination by physicians and use OF
bovine virus could be made into one
section in order to make specific pro-
visions to regulate the manner of vac
cination, whereby all objections now
made to the general vaccination
scheme as exists in Hawaii would be
removed"
