ask hun 10 READ II ElE4l 'll-
The President said that unless It was
translated he would not be doing his duty
TO the House to put the motion for adopt /
ing the report. Mr. Hayselden's motion
was out Of order.
Mr.. Kaulukou would ike 10 know upon
what rule this decision was based
The President said there was no rule but
the rule Of common sense. II WOuId Dc
sufficient reason If the House were asked
10 vote on question some members did
not understand II was the first time 10
his knowledge such u matter had arisen
and if the motion passed it would be bad
precedent. He had no interest in the mat
ter. but was simply doing his duty TO the
House and himself.
Mr.. Kaulukou appealed against the
Presidents ruling. The report had been
read in Hawaiian and the Interpreter gave
the gist OF it in English.
Hon. Mr. Bishop did not know that the
President was making a new rule. 1t was
well understood that a reading in this
House meant IA reading III two languages
He thought the President was quite right.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson said as Mr.
Dole had remarked the question was
merely matter OF courtesy, and no dis
mute was involved. 1t was a lengthy re-
port and had been read very rapidly. He
would admit himself that ne had not
thoroughly understood it although he
knew the Hawaiian language pretty we'll
But the Interpreter made statement 10
the effect that the committee, after admit
ting all the claims of the petition, found
that there was still majority in favor OF
Mr. Nahale. The conclusion OF the COM
mittee was that he should retain his seat.
Taking the opinion of the committee and
of honorable members, he was prepared TO
vote for the adoption of the report. 1t
would be a matter of courtesy to have such
a report printed. He was sorry this quea-
ton had come up.
After some further discussion vote was
taken and the ruling of the President was
sustained by a majority of 20 to 5.
The motion to accept and lay on the
table was then put and carried.
