don’t
understand
the
question.
2nd
Member
for Christiansted
Town
(Canegata)
remarked:
Mr. Chairmaun.
I
see
the point the Honorable
Member
is
discussing.
The
passage
of the
Money
Bill strikes
out Paragraph
2 and 3 of this
Ordinance.
3rd
Member
for Christiansted
Town
(Alexander):
Yes,
and
the
Committee
should provide in their report that
these
paragraphs
be struck
out.
The Chairman:
If the bill goes to 2nd
Discussion
that could be
discussed,
but
the bill is now under Ist Discussion.
3rd
Member
for
Christiansted
Town
(Alexzander):
As the bill stands
at pres-
ent I will not vote for it.
It was put
to the vote
and carried
that
the
bill
be
referred
to
the same
Com-
mittee.
The Chairman remarked:
The bill will
go back
to the same
Committee.
4th

This

The Chairman
.;remarked:
The Speak-
er on the Committee
Report,
Ist Member
for Frederikstsd
Country
District Ander-
sen has left*the me~ting.
Ist
Member
for
Frederiksted
Town
(Coulter) introduced
the Committee’s
Re-
port,
and
said,—Mr.
Chairman.
The
Speaker
of the
Committee,
the Hon. Ist
Member
for Frederiksted
Conntry
Dis-
trict
(Andersen)
owing
to
pressure
of
busiress
has
had
to leave
the meetirg,
aud has
asked
me
to
introduce
the
re-
ST.LRUL
S
AYV S
«
Dport for him.
1t is hardly
necessary
for
me
to say
more
than
what
is contained
in the
report
itself.
The Committee
ap-
pointed
by
the Council
at its last meet-
ing, met at Est. Castle Burke two deys af-
ter.
As a result
of some
communiecation
I
had
with
the
Governor
econcerning
this matter, I got from
the
Committee
permissiop
to invite Chaplain
Steiner,
the
Aide for Public
Welfare,
to
attend
the
meeting,
as
1 discovered
in the course
of
a conversation
with
him
that
he
had
a
great
deal
of
information
which
I
thought
would prove interesting ard
use-
ful for the Committee
in connection
with
this matter.
1 also
svggested
that Law-
ver
Stakemann
be
invited
to
join
the
Committee,
as
he
is
a
member
of
the
Board
of Management
of the Leper Asy-
lum, representing
the OQddfellows
Socie-
ty in Denmark,
who
gifted
the
institu-
tion and buildings to this island.
The
question
was
discussed
by
the
Committee
with
these
gentlemen,
and
Chaplain
Steiner gave
us
much valuable
information coneerning
the
matter,
as it
appears
that
he
had
already
for
some
time
been
in
communication
with
the
Secretary
of
a
philanthropie
society
in
the United States
which
has
been
doing
work of this kind
in
the
Phillipines and
Hawaii,
for
the
Leper
Colonies
there.
He promised
to
continue
his
correspon-
dence
with the party
in
guestion
with a
view towards helping this
pavilion
to be
erected.
Lawyer Stakemann
also promised to com-
mur‘rate with the Oddfellows
Society in
De,']‘;;?ark
towards
getting similar
assist-
B
from
them,
and
the
Chairman
of
#""
Committee
(Dr. Canegata)
promised
to
write
to the Chairman
of the Colonial
Council
of
St.
Thomas
inviting
their
. cooperation,
as
they
send
their
lepers
“over here
to this
institution.
"~
Mr. Andersen
also promised
to
use
his
influence with several
institutions
te
pro-
cure
contributions
towards
the
costs
of
the
erection
of the buiiding,
as
well
as
supplying
some of
the
necessary
articles
at
cost
price
from
Bethlehem.
Every-
thing looks
promising,
and
we
feel that
the pavilion is as good
as erected.
I ask
the
Council
to
accept
the
Committee’s
|
report.
The
Chairman
remarked:
Govern-
ment
has announced
that
they
have
no-
thing to say.
1
will,
thecefore,
put
to
the
vote whether the
Committee
Report
should
be adopted.
The Chairman
put the
Committee
Re-
port to the
vote.
It was unf\‘nimously adopted,
It was also put to the vote
and
unabni-
mously carried that the same
Committee
act
on the matter.

One
Zepheniah
James,
commonly
known
as “'Zeffer’’,a half demented
man,
was shot fatally by Patrolman
Francis
in
Strand
Street
here
vesterday
afiernson
while resisting
arrest
by
the
policeman
and Sergeant
Hennemann,
both of whom
received
more
or
less
serious
wounds
in
the band and
face
inflicted
by
a
knife
which the prisoner
carried
concealed
or
his person.
‘‘Zeffer’’had just been
sen
tenced
with
a
fine
of
$5.
and five days
in jail for
a
recent
offense
of
assault
and battery,
and
was being
escorted
to
Richmord Penitentiary
when
the tragedy
occurred.
Itis
understood
that the
use
of
the
revolver
was
resorted
to
only
after
all
other available
and
less deadly
methods
of mastering
the
madman
had
failed.
He was also
shot
in the leg with-
out effect.
The
prisoner
is
reported
as
having
been
seen
opposing
the
off-
cers
of
the
law
from
the
time
he
was
brought
cut
of
the
court
yard,
and
was
regarded
by
some as
a
dangerous
character
who had
lately
dis-
played
evidences
of
violence,--while,
again
irn other
quarters
he
is acereditted
as
a
hairmless
dippy
creature.
The in-
cident
is in any
case
an
unforturate
one.
The
name
of
the
drama
