Fight ON CHIROPRACTIC LICENSE
! BILL COMING UP TOMORROW NIGHT

DR.. r. G. Mighton. one of the local
chiropractors, said today that he has
heard the physicians are willing 10 &C
cept a compromise by which there
shall be established a composite ex.
aiming beard. He said such a board
would probably be made up Of three
physicians. one osteopath and one
chiropractor.
"Such a compromise is totally uiI-
fair 10 the chiropractors and we can
not accept II" he said. We have tried
such boards in the states and they al
ways work out as an injustice TO the
smaller representation the chiroprac-
tors. What We want Is q board COM
petent to pass on chiropractic and
that means one made up OF chiroprac-
tors.
MANY states authorize the issuance
OF licenses to chiropractors and Ha-
wall should do the same. Our work
speaks for itself We do not admins
ter drugs or medicine or perform any
surgical operation. The record OF our
cases can be CITED to the legislators TO
show that we ale entitled to hearing. I"
There is no association OF chiroprac-
tors here, he said, as there are only
about five Of them. He expects that
he and Dr. w. G. Weirick will present
the case for the chiropractors.

BENEFITS FROM VISIT
OF CONGRESSMAN ARE
RECITED IN LETTER

In a letter received Tuesday by
Speaker Holstein of the house. Dele
gate Kuhio outlines his reason for re-
anesting the legislature to appropriate
$4,000 for the visit of congressional
party to Hawaii
The letter says, in part:
II thought II would be of great ad.
vantage to Hawaii to have senators
and members of the house visit the
islands and study at first hand the
conditions there. so that in the future
we might receive. If not favorable, al
least, intelligent legislation on matters
brought to the attention Of congress.
II believe, and you doubtless will
agree with me. that much good ieeis-
lation has resulted to US from former
congressional trips. and Il Is my
Opinioh that at this time when there
is possibility OF international COM
plicati0ns, that Hawaii will play an
important part and hence It is Inn
portant that our conditions be known
more especially from a naval and milf
tary standpoint
Therefore, IL seems to me that we
can do no better for our territory than
to have the men who guide the affairs
of the nation visit us and ascertain
our needs

stopped and placed the injured man In
the Cadillac
Frazier generously asked me II he
should take the man to the hospital.
explains Asch, and not knowing
whether the man was seriously injured
or not and not wishing TO delay action
any more thai necessary, l told him
TO take the man to the emergency hos
pital and followed IN my car
Speed Under 50 Miles
'sFhe Cadillac could not have been
going more than SO miles an hour all
the time for that is the best my car
will do and was block behind Fra
zier all the way in. Just before the
crash came was al Bishop street and
when saw the street car start across
Merchant | knew a crash was com.
ing and prepared for the worst.
Siren Constantly Sounded
The loud electric siren on Fraz.cr's
car was sounding necessarily all the,
way IN and do not know how thu
street car boys could have failed TO
hear it. Whether they were ringing
their bell or not do not know. Fra
zier's car hit the street car about the
middle and then caught on the rear
fen:ler when the car stopped across
the street."
Motorman Used Precautions
c. G. Balleatyne, manager or the
Rapid Transit. said this morning that
the motorman had slowed his ear be-
fore crossing the street and was clang-
ing the compressed air bell with which
the car had been recently Tilted and
which can be heard for blocks.
He also states that the motorman
had applied his dir which Is customary
when crossing q street and was going
very slowly, which he points out can
be seen from the fact that the street
car stopped so quickly after the acct
dent and also because il would have
cleared the street and averted the
wreck in this instance IL il had been
going fast.
The motorman reports 10 Ballentyne
that when he looked down Merchant
street upon crossing II, Frazier
was then about at the Stangenwaid
building and he (the metorTlan) new
er dreamed the auto was coming so
fast. In an instant the crash came.
Frazier applied his brakes and
skidded about IS feet before hitting
the street car. Besides the motor
man and the conductor there was only
one other passenger on the street car,
a soldier Frazier has good reputa-
ton with the police but has been in
other accidents which the police say
were more hard luck on his part than
carelessness o. lleedlessness.

Five persons miraculously escaped

With a crash that was heard for
blocks the auto struck so hard that it
is total wreck and one side OF the
street car that was nearly knocked
from the track is bnigad and twisted.
Amid the screams OF terrified wom-
en- in the accident and in the light Of
flash of burning gasoline which
flared up when the engine was
smashed crowds who heard the omin-
Gus impact came running to help and
found the street strewn with splinters
and broken glass.

minor wounds and the unconscious

A verbal clash between Honolulu
physicians and chiropractors. Is ex.
pected around the legislative halls,
and house members believe II win ma
teriaiize tomorrow night when House
Bill 81, providing for the licenses OF
chiropractors. comes up for public
hearing before the health committee.
The bill in substance amends the
revised laws 70 grant licenses to ciIiro-
practors who hold diplomas from regn-
lar schools or colleges Of chiropractic,
provided that they hold certificates
from any state board Of chiropractic
examiners. II forecasts q later organ
ixation Of board Of chiropractic ex-
aminers in the territory. The licenses
are now 70 be issued by the territorial
treasurer. The bill provides that CHI
r0practors who have been practising
in Hawaii for three months prior 10
the passage Of the act are thereby en-
titled to licenses.
The bin differs materially, Il Is de-
clared, from that brought up at the
Legislative session or 1915, but has
aroused the same opposition on the
part OF medical doctors.
The physicians are reported TO have
engaged an attorney to represent them
tomorrow night.

Il might say also that I introduced

called plebiscite. by petition. il is in

Other Home Rule Hills
I have introduced and had hear
irigs on several bills dealing with
home rule for the territory. One of
them provides for the election by the
people of the governor and the secre-
1ary of the territory.
Another one places in the hands
OF the legislature the disposal of all
the public lands OF the territory. An
other is to the effect that all federal
appointees shall be residents Of the
territory. The fourth gives to the
legislature the right either to provide
for woman suffrage or to call a pleb-
iscfte to pass on the question.
