of the Chinese religious ceremonial.
Mr. Kaulukou spoke of certain
nights in the year when there was
no sleep for the eyes nor slumber for
the cyelids of the rest Of the popu-
lation on account of the noise made
by the Chinese in celebrating their
rites.
The bill and report thereupon were
ordered to be laid upou the table.
BY request the Committee on Com
mcrcc was allowed an extension of
time in which to report upon the
street railway bills.
Upon the suggestion of the Presi-
dent, the House porceeded to clear
the table of an accumulation of bills
awaiting third reading.
The Act to appoint clerk and
deputy clerk of the Supreme Court
and TO prescribe the powers and
duties of the said clerks, was read
third time and passed
The Act to amend Sections 1905
and 1907 of the Civil Code, as
amended by Session Laws of 1872,
Chapter 3. was read third time.
1t relates to procedure in the matter
of appeals from subordinate courts.
! On motion the bill was referred to
the Revising Committee.
The Act to amend Chapter SO of
Penal Code, relating to gaming, was
read n third time. 1t provides a new
section prescribing fine of not more
than $50, or Imprisonment for not
more than three months, or both,
for any visitors to gambling house
or room, or any person aiding or
abetting the sport Of such houses.
Mr.. W. o. Smith thought the pro.
posed law rather severe, rs it in
volvcd the liberty of innocent visitors
to Kapiolani Park.
Minister Neumann thought there
was no danger to the innocent from
the bill. 1t was intended to catch
those frequenters of gambling dens
who at present get off upon repre-
sentations that they had no part in
the gambling operations at which
they were present.
Mr. Kaulukou thought it good law
for the officers, but bad one fol
the lawyers, as defence was hopeless
for one caught in n gaming house.
Mr.. Kanealii moved the indefinite
postponement of the bill:
Minister Neumann hoped the bill
would not be indefinitely postponed
He thought it would do away will
gambling. and that there would be
no fear of innocent persons or chill
dren being injured by it. 1t was
aimed at habitual visitors to gaming
houses. If people found that they
could not with impunity visit gam
bling houses they would not go there
Mr.. w. O. Smith doubted thu
necessity of the new law, as the
present law relating to accessories
seemed to cover the ground. If h,
thought, however, that it would de
away with gambling he would be il
favor of the bill.
After further remarks by Minste
Neumann and Messrs. Kaulukou ant
Dole, the question was put, result
ing in the bill passing.

children round the streets at nigh
