rather rushing it. He should pro-
badly vote to adopt the report
after it was translated, us after bear
ing the summing up in Hawaiian ho
thought the conclusion was correct.
He had no part in this appeal, The
first he knew of It's grounds being
this morning. The fact that tue
matters in question were serious
should prevent them rushing dis
through This seemed 10 be one OF
those Mates in which there was II
disposition to stop investigation.
He did not want to vote Mr.. Ma
hale out of his seat, but at the same
time he did not want to vote with
out knowing what he was voting on.
For the honor of the member for
North Kona himself this matter
should be properly understood.
Rep. Castle would like to have the
reasons of the hon. member for
Honolulu. 1t was perfectly easy for
a member to jump up and make a
motion, but he should give some
reasons for it. He was satisfied
from hearing the evidence in this
case that the report of this commit
tee was correct. There was one
question of law raised by himself
before the committee, which he did
not think he should raise in this
house. On such an important matter
as that set forth in the report, it was
worth while to have the document
translated, and then in both Ian
guages it would became part of the
records of the Assembly. That was
the course pursued with regard TO
matters in general. The hon. men,
Der for Honolulu knew that the seat
of Mr.. Nahale was not disturbed by
laying it on the table.
Rep. Hayselden said his reasons
were that from hearing the report he
was satisfied that it was correct. He
perfectly understood it and believed
all the members understood it. 1t
was full, there was no minority re-
port, and it would cost good deal
of money to have that report trans
lated.
Rep. Wight perfectly agreed with
the remarks of the hon. member for
Molokai, and if he, young man,
was not able to follow the reading of
the report, it was easy TO see thai
the speaker could not understand it,.
The acoustic qualities of that room
were not perfect, and the member
for Hilo read so rapidly that he was
not able TO follow him'at any time.
In conversation he could follow him,
but sitting there quietly he expected
the report would be read in English.
He could not vote intelligently under
the circumstances.
Rep. Dickey agreed fully with the
hon. member for Kohala, but per-
haps the trouble could be mended.
He moved that the interpreter be
instructed to translate the report to
the house so that they could all
understand it.
Rep. Kaai was in favor of adopt
ing the report of the committee.
Rep. Keau took the floor, when
The President said that, to save
time, he would rule that the motor
to adopt the report was out of order
unless it was read in both languages
The difficulty could be obviatod by
the Interpreter reading it in English
Rep. Keau began speaking, whel
Rep. Kaulukou rose 10 point o
order, that the report did not re
quirc to be read in both languages
The President said it was per
fectly right that when q membe
said he did not understand a report
then it could not be said 10 hav
been read. If the house was willin!
to say that the Interpretation OF th
Interpreter was correctly given, tina
would be sufficient.
Rep. Thurston said the reques
for a translation was not for th
purpose of opposing the report bu
for the purpose of information. Fl
thought it would be disgrace fo
the majority of the house TO refus
it. Suppose the member for Homo
lulu heard a report read in Englis
and did not understand it, would
not be shameful for this house to re
fuse request that it be translated
1t was in the interest of goo
many in the house that this repol
should be translated and put in shap
for members to understand it.
Rep. Dole said he came late, afte
the discussion had considerably a(
vanced, and he was greatly SUI
prised, as it was purely matter {
courtesy to the few members WI
did not understand Hawaiian. II
could not sit there quietly and liste
to that conversation without prote
ting. They were sitting there befol
the nation, and the nation took the
for gentlemen. Every member kne

Z. that would not be refused. He b

dent to have this read in both la

it was received.
