- Emmeluth and Hoogs Talk on
Equines Nahiku Wants
Some Money Back.
Tin; House put on a complete change
of program this morning which was
rather unexpected. Dickey begau
operations by Introducing a resolution
risking that the time of convening ot
, the House be changed fiom 10 o'clock
to 9 o'clock, and that the House con
sider the Appropriation hill beginning
with the Attorney General's Depart
mei.t. .
Hoogs Introduced n petition from the
Nahiku Sugar Co., asking that $9S5.S1
spent by them In perfecting Nahiku
landing after the appropriation had
gtun out be returned to them. Tho
, petition was returned to the Commit-
tec on Public Lands.
Thfn followed a bout In which half
a dozen members , were prominent.
Umiiiclmh set tho ball rolling by ask
ing from Makalnal how much was.
left of the appropriation for House ex
penses. Makalnal stated that )10,000
had been spent for the House, $14,000
for the ?enate and that $S0O was yet to
be paid on the Journal. There were no
other outstanding bills.
"Well." replied Emmeluth, "It's
about time we-callod a halt. Vunder
tmicj';that extravagent prices have been
paid tor translating, proof reading and
printing, and I think It Is about time
to stop, If wo want to be damned In

Just have to continue, the' way we ara
to!nt now. 1 am not in favor ot steals
of nuv form, and hope to go on record
as opposed to them all.
"The last gentleman's remarks," said
Hoogr. "remind me of the old story
of shutting the stable door after the
horse had gone out."
"That la only too true," replied
Kmcluth. "hut In this case, wo are clos
t Ing the door to prevent the horse from
returning to the crib."
Robertson broke In nnd took a hand
In tin? game of repartee. "Mr. Emme

remind me of something else than
horse fiei-h. At the beginning of the
regular session, Dickey brought in a
i solution asking that nil Jobs In print
ing he given only to tho lowest bidder,
sealed tenders being called 'for. At
that time, Mr, Emmeluth practically
said that. If the Republicans had been
In power, they would have given the
Jobs to their friends, no matter what
the com. Now that the Homo Rulers
had the upper han,d,, Ihcy intended til
do Uie same."
"I will have to plead' guilty." Bald
Emmeluth In reply, "but with me, It's
n case of deliver me from my irtends."
Hoogk then' Introduced a resolution
which created n small sized riot. It
was as follows;
I desire to call the attention ofvthe
legislature to,tho fact that there Is a
question of th eicgnllty of the Hon. 11.
E. Coorer as Acting Governor.
Therefore bo It resolved, That wo thn

Kum&lae said that tho time for play
had patted, and he moved that tho
icsolmlon be rejected.
Emmeluth was willing, provided that
Hoogs should bo collector and should
foot up the balance.

When thefSenato met shortly nftcr
9 o'clock this morning, there wns but
one lone JU-publlcau Mr. Carter
present. At It was.n little too early
for the Siuatc's chaplain, piacr was

itwu aa iK-iimps ine must proniaoie

singled out during tho present extra

ferred to various committees and, on
Monday, there will bo plenty of work
on hand, as the committees Intend to
spend this afternoon und tonight work
ing on the various Items. The Feu-
ate. from Its willingness to refer Items

termination to ."itralu,.fiom working In
the dark.
The first thing taken up by the Senate
this forenoon was the salary of four
normal Inspectors at IfeOO each. This
at once set on foot a discussion that
lasted for an hour. Dr. ltussel, who
was on the committee that recommend
ed passing the Item as In the bill, stat
ed that each of Jlie Impcctors wai forc
ed to pay at least t'i0 per month for

their Bnlarics should not be disturbed.
Mr. J. lirown was tor cutting out the
whole Item and arranging for one man
to do slot the Islands. Ho stated
among other things that, dining "the
past ear. he had only seen the Hawaii
normal inspector once. Mr. Paris had
seen him twice. Two trips around tho
Island would occupy about two months.
at n liberal estimate. What-was dona
with tho other ten months? In the
opinion of Mr. Ilrown. the paying out of
money to such a mnn was the same as
giving him a present of so much.
Dr. Ilussel retorted thnt hu had been
In Illlo three years and had ncer oven
caught sight of him, was that any rea
son that ho and the worthy Senator
were Idlo? To his mind, tho contention
of Mr. Urown wns childish .
Mr, Carter Introduced nn amendment

Hawaii ami arranging for tlueo other
Inspectorsone for Kauai and Oahu

tendent of boys school was reduced
from $3600 to $2100, according tu tho
recommendation ot the committee.
Mr, Carter attempted to Introdure an
Item of salary of physician for reform

consider such Items under the head of

place.
Tho following disposition was then
made of other Items In the Appropiia

It would be seriously crippled. If tho
Legislature lops off the biennial ap
propriation of $20,000.
"We managed to get along with this ',

night, "but I do not oven believe wo
could stand a reduction 'in the amount
without being seriously embarrassed.
The demands upon our facilities tire
growing each year. .
"There have been three Important
sources of revenue lent to the institu
tion within the past year. I refer to
the Ilookc estate, the pnssenger tax
of $1 for each person nrilving from for

"If the Legislature would establish
a county hospital, where emergency

we might get along with no appro

this appropriation Is cut off, the first
thing we will have to do, will be to
turn away every natlc Hawaiian pa
tient In the Institution and quit re
ceiving them on the terms that liava
prevailed since the Institution wns es
tablished. No person with Hnwatlan
blood In his veins has ever been re
quired to pay n cent for treatment la
ttiU hospital. '
"In emergency cases, where death
ensues nnd the patient proves to bo
pennllen from whom do jou collect
the bill?"
Mr. Kckardt replied: "Wo charge It
to profit ninl loss. Not only do wo
never turn away any nccldcnt c-iisei
but In case of death, we quite frequent
ly find that we must fiay for the ex
penso of a funeral. It Is my business
In nil cbbcs to collect the bill for treat
ment If posslblo but I do not nlwaya
find a person who Is responsible.
"There Is no provision by which wo
collect bills from nny of the govern
ment departments. The Inmates of
Iwllel aro treated hero. They pay noth
ing and nro n drain on tho resources of
the Institution. I bellovo tho records
will show that our patients nvers)ge tc 11
of nntho blood to on of foreign. Tho
number nf charity patients Is on tho
Increase. I should say that when a,
Hawaiian Is given a private room, he'
Is charged tho snme rate af foreigners
but the llawnllans In tho general wnrda
arc not required to pay a cent.
"We have managed tho Institution
ns economically as possible." continued
Mr. Kcknrdt. "There aro no high sal
aries, yet the Income from patients,
who pay for treatment would not morn
than pay onc-hnlf the running ex
pense." "The hospital was originally estate
llshed for tho treatment nnd care of
llawnllans, nnd, for this purpose a bl-r
ennlal appropriation his always becen
mado by tho Legislature. .This appro
priation, together with the scamnn.and,
hospital tax constituted the principal
source of Incomo to the hospital. With '
the rcmovnl of these two latter Ileum
and tho loss of rcxenue from tho Itooko
lands the hospital stands sorely In
need of the appropriation by thb Legis
lature to enable It to carry on Its work
for tho benefit, more particularly, of
those of Hawaiian blood."
LEGISLATOR ON THE BAND
One of tho .legislators having ,rend .
yesterday that the band would play at
the Catholic cathedral today and Sun
day, remarked to u llullctln reporter na
follows: "If tho baud !s trying to givo
tho Legislature) n good Impression and
Is out after another appropriation, the
wrong tack Is being taken. I for ono
was In favor of continuing thn band
but since I heard of this playing at h,
church I hnvo changed my mind. I do
not think thnt playing at occasions ot
tho kind Is for tho pcoplo ut largo but
for just n limited number.
"Tho Sunday nfternopn concerts
have become very popular nnd tho peo
plo have come to look forward with
great pleasure to this inoffensive way Jt
uf spending their Sunday nfternoon.
Tomorrow, the baud Is to play ut tho
Catholic cathedral, Who Is It thnt
cares to stimd out on Fort Btrcct In
tho dust nnd heat to hear tho music.
I for one, do not.
"This kind of thing has been going
on too long and tbo people nro tired
of it, The band Is paid for by the peo
ple, not by any particular part of thorn,
and the band should thereforo play In
a placo wheie tho public nt large will
'feel perfectly privileged to go,"
