Chance TO SAVE
RED-uGHT BILL
ALL GONE NOW

The last chance to resuScitate SEN
ate bill 80, the red light" measure, is
dwindling this afternoon. Under the
rules bill defeated on third rea ling
may be taken up for reconsideration
within "a hours on the motion of one
of those who voted against it.
1t is reported today that President
Chillingworth, who voted against it
yesterday, did so because he saw that
in the absence of Senator Castle it
would be defeated anyhow, and he
desired to be with the majority 80 ne
could move to reconsider action today.
When his turn came to cast his ballot
Yesterday the vote stood to against
it, and his vote, even if favorable
could not save the measure.
But Senator Castle was i'll again to-
day, appearing in the upper house only
long enough to present the reports of
the judiciary committee, of which he
is chairman. With his vote and that
of the president the bill could have
been revived and passed in the upper
branch.

SOCIETY
ACTS IN DEFENSE
OF DR.. KCONKEYi

At a recent meeting of the Medical
Society of Hawaii, a resolution was
adopted in defense of DR.. w. F. Nc.
Conkey, government official at Paia
hospital, Maui against whom Circuit
Judge Stuart made, charges Of NAL
practise. The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, on March %, 1915, the
Hon. Thomas B. Stuart, third Judge
of the circuit court Of the first cir.
cult, rendered a decision granting a
new trial to the plaintiff in the case of
M. A. Martin VS.. A. A. Wilson, and
in this decision which was published
in the Honolulu Star-Builetin. on
March 20. 1915, the said, Judge Stuart
made serious and deliberate attack
upon the professional character and
standing Of Or. w. F. McConkey, a
member of this society, charging him
with negligence, ignorance, wrongful
practise and other professional mis-!
conduct, and stating in conclusion that
in his personal opinion If tried upon
the merits. DR. MeConkey would be
found guilty OF malpractice as to his
conduct Of this case; and,
Whereas, the said Judge Stuart in
the same decision made charges of a
similar nature against the Paia hos.
pital, its management and its staff of
nurses; and,
Whereas, the said charges clearly
tend to bring discredit upon and to
injure the standing of DR.. McConkey
and the Paia hospital in the commu.
nifty; and,
Whereas, the society believes that
such charges upon the part of the said
Judge Stuart are not sustained or
warranted by the evidence in the trial
Of the case; now. be it therefore
Resolved, that the Medical Society
Of Hawaii, through its executive com.
mittee, take steps as are necessary
to secure to DR.. McConkey and the
Paia hospital, reparation for the in
jury and injustice which have been
done to them by the said published de-
cision and charges of said Judge
Stuart"
DR.. F. E. Trotter, secretary of the
Medical Society, who is a member of
the executive committee, said today
that he knew nothing about the reso-
luton which was reported to have
been passed by the executive commit
tee.
Il was not informed of any meeting
for the purpose Of generating DR..
McConkey, nor am | now aware that
any such meeting was held. was

Before the senate Killed the red
light" bill yesterday afternoon, vot-
ing against it, the measures merit
was attacked and fiayed unmerciful-
ly by three members, Coke, Writ and
Metzger. The talk could not be
termed debate, for the bill found no
champions ready to take the floor in
its behalf.
Before Coke, Wirtz and Metzger
spoke, Senator Rice materially weak
ened the effect of the bill by inject
ing an amendment, providing that an
injunction against an establishment
of infamy could be obtained only by
a. taxpayer residing within 500 feet
of the building. The amendment also
eliminated the right of public organi-
cations to obtain such injuctions. -
Coke asserted this bill was along
the same line as other red light
bills in use on the mainland; that he
had talked with men more or less
actively interested in the enforce
ment Of those laws at various places
in the States and that they had de-
Clared it ineffective. The measure
had eliminated the restricted district,
he admitted, but served merely to
scatter the social evil broadcast
throughout the municipality. The
law had been placed in effect at the
national capital by Congress, but the
social evil had merely become worse
than before; the law had been enact
ed in California. but in San Francis
CO, where it was meant to apply with
greatest force, it had failed dismally,
and the man who introduced it be-
came SO unpopular that he was not
reelected to the legislature. The peo-
pie of San Francisco, said he, were
overwhelmingly against the law.
81 will cast my vote for what I
think is to- the best interest of the
Territory" said Coke. Il will not
vote merely to please any certain
element, to get in right with par.
ticular class, but according to the
dictates Of my conscience. What
ever may be said of me, mine shall
not be a cowardIy ballot"
He reminded the members that to-
day there are 10000 soldiers on Oahu
and that in the near future the num-
Der likely will be increased to $4,000.
Are we going to suppress vice by
enacting this law" he asked. is it
going to remake human character? l
say, No. There is a popular cry
abroad in the land, and here in par.
ticular, to wipe out all crime. That
is all we'll and good. but we shant do
it with such laws as this. There are
purists who have visions of legislat-
ing us into future where there shall
be no such thing as crime. but ! say
We shall never attain such millen.
ium until man is remade into new
being. without error and without hui
man passions"
Writ said senate bill 80 is not a
new thing to the Hawaiian legisla.
ture. As senate bill 143 it appeared
before the lawmakers two years ago.
He characterized it as a barnacle
which would seek to cling to and inn
pede the progress of the good ship Of
state. Moreover, he asserted. its en-.
actment would be taking a slam at
the fair name and reputation of Ho-
nolulu. which, said he. is second to
none in the world in moral cIeanli.
