NO Complaints Made to Legis-
Iative Party That Visits the
Leper Settlement
By E. j. BOTTS
(staff Correspondent with the Legls
istive Partly


Through the darkness of coming
morning the eye of the Kalaupapa
lighthouse blinked-and blinked; and
as the sun crept up over Molokai the
bells in the little churches heralded
the birth of new Easter morn--and
the populace of Molokai came down
to the shore to welcome the legisla-
tors, their guests for the day.
On such day 1000 and more years
seo Lazarus begged crumbs and was
Stunned by those who came. But yes
terday the dwcllers on Molokai were
greeted and asked for nothing. They
were greeted, and they greeted their
visitors with songs and alohas of vel
come, as they stood on the shore
waiting for the first boat to land from
the Claudine, which was anchored in
midharbor.
Thirty legislators, members OF both
houses. and fifteen friends and repre-
sentafiyes OF the press were taken of
the little boats to become the guest
of superintendent ]. D. McVeigh and
his colony. 1t was the occasion of
the biennial visit OF the committees
on health of the two houses. who
go on this trip to hear from the lips
of the afflicted any complaints he may
have
No Complaints Made.
And while it Was stlU early in the
morning. and while the bells still
tolled the Easter message, the slegisla-
tors stood on the lanai of the Bald
win home, and in speeches of good
will they asked If any complaints were
10 be made. From ont OF the crowd
tbat gathered around the lauhala
trees rose the voice of an old man,
Wahama, who has lived thsre twenty
wears. and. speaking for the others,
said that there were no complaints.
III is true that thew desired, he said.
that the so cents allowed for rations q
week be given. them in cash, and that
because OF the increase in cost of liv-
ing, 70 cents might he better suited
for their needs Yet he affirmed there
was no complaint to be made. end
Abrose Kahalahala corroborated him.
1t was a surprise TO the legislators.
q delightful surprise. For this is the
first time within the history OF its
support by the territory that almost
countless complaints have not been
made on the occasion of the lawmak-
trs' visit to the settlement. On the last
visit two hours were consumed in Hs-
tening to the criticism of the jewellers.
Yesterday that time was taken up by

, from the regular current expenses o.
the colony. that is all that Is asked
this year. To be sure something was
said about. Jail, but it was not ser
iously urged.
Plenty of Room for Inhabitants. saa.
It may be that it is because leprosy
is on the decrease that the conditions
ere improving at Nolokai, and in
place of it being overcrowded. as at
one time, for instance, few years
ago when there were 1900 patients
in. the settlement. there is plenty of
room and time for each one. The fig
Gres, which had been posted by Super
intendent McVeigh for the information
of the guests showed that there are
621 lepers on the island, ISL of whom
are males. Z OF these numbers there
are SIT Hawaiians, almost equally d.
yided between male and female.
Brother Dutton, ror Father Dutton
as he is as well known now, was smil-
ing when the visitors arrived at Ka-
-iawao, and led by w. o. Smith, the
guests rushed. to greet the man who
stepped into the shoes of Father Da-
mien. A report had been circulated
On the mainland and abroad that the
father was dead.
"Ah, no-not yet dead" he smiled.
my time is not yet.
A pause; then:
"You know l haven't time to die
so much work here-so much work
here for me. to da. !"
The Mystery Touched
As he talked he ran his hand over
a high stack of mail.
$50 much work that / haven't ans

sweetheart he added, wistfully.
Itouching three. or four letters tied to-.
gether by a ribbon. a.
An hour later the party had said,
goodbye to Father Dutton, luau was
served under the canopy of the home
of the superintendent, and the report
that Mfr. McVeigh is an adept at pre-
pairing luau was shown to be true.
After 1T was over, and toasts had been
drunk to him and his pretty little,
secretary who assisted him in the
preparations, the guests made their
farewell. speeches from the bandstand
in front of the building.
1t was three O'Clock when the
whistle Of the Claudine sounded, and
a few minutes later the legislators
were making their way to the ship,
and in their ears were ringing the,
wonderfully optimistic:
Well see you in two years!"
AS the lClaudine made her smooth
way, into the. Honolulu harbor at
eight O'Clock last night, DR.. j. T..
Wayson, whose work among the
afflicted lis too well known to need
mention, exclaimed:

LABOR ACT TO STAY
ON STATUTE BOOKS

The bill which was introduced in
the senate sometime ago by Senator
Coke, s. B. 2, which was an act to re
peal the statute relating to the induc-
ing of laborers to leave their employ
ment, will not leave the senate.
This fact became known when the
judiciary committee reported that Sen
ator Coke's measure be indefinitely
postponed. No objection was made by
its author to this proceeding, and it is
understood he viii not attempt to re-
store it to life.
The committee in its report stated
that the subject matter of the net had
been thoroughly gone into at the last
session of the legislature and it saw
no change in present conditions to
warrant action different from li,at
taken two years ago. s.5=
