bic punishment to be brought be-
fore the bar Of the House aud lie
censurcd. He thought that enough
punishment for Nawahine. II kau-
hi had only been as much on the
alert to detect this crime AZ nulau-
koa had, 1t would rot have come
before the House. He would give
all honor to kalaukua for luuning
tie con>plrat rs To earth, and he
believed the country would do tie
same.
Nlini>te Thurston seconded the
proposition made 10y the last speak
er with regard to Nawahne. AS
for Kauhi he was shameless, cor
rupt and hardened william. He stood
on the floor of the House and
in the most brazen and shame
less way blackguards Kalaukoa
who is hissuperior in every
way. Kamauoha had fallen and
nothing more need be said. Luhiau
was an old man who had for long
time held a good name, but he had
received bride. With regard to
Nawahine there was no evidence TO
contradict his statement, he should
be given the benefit of the doubt
and under the circumstances CEN
sured. He moved the following
substitutes for the fourth and fifth
recommendation of the special COM
mittee:
4. Resolved that the conduct of
Noble S. e. Luhiau, Noble for Ha-
/ wall, in accepting the said sum of
$50, knowing or believing that the
same was from the Cinnamon, and
a reward for his vote upon ques-
ton in which they were interested,
is sunversive of the dignity and
honor of this House, and he is here
by expelled from the House and his
seat in the Legislature is declared
vacant.
5. That in view of the fact that
there is no positive evidence that
Hon. O. Nawahine, Representative
for Wailuku, knew for what purpose
the said $50 was given to him, or
the amount of the same, and in view
of his free confession and the assist
ance which he rendered the commit
tee, that the censure of the House
will be sufficient punishment for
his offence: therefore
Resolved, That he be called be-
fore the bar of the House, there to
receive from the President of the
Legislature the censure of this
House.
Rep. G. Brown agreed with the
substitute recommendations, but
with regard to Nawahine til y
should go little further. The com
mittee should have reported that
part of the evidence referring to the
finding of the money in Nawahne $
vest pocket.
Nozzle Smith said the committee
had based their recommendations on
the evidence heard before them.
They had not gone outside of the
record.
Node Widemann said there could
be no possible doubt Nawahine
knew when he was L"kiug II lnl k
shake that Knuhl had put money in
his vest pocket for he asked Knuhi
whether it was good money.
Rep. G. Brown said every mem.
Der should be perfectly satisfied in
his mind before recording his vote.
Rep. Nakaleka was doubted if the
committee had right to bring in
charges against Luhiau and Nawa-
hine. They were only told to in
vestigae charges against Kauhi and
Kamauoha.
Noble Smith read the resolution
showing the power of the commit,
tee.
Noble Hitchcock had based the
minority report on the evidence
heard. He then read the evidence
of Nawahine before the committee
Rep. Paehaole doubted whether
the House had right to expel mem
bers under the Constitution.
Noble Widemann said Article 81
of the Constitution reads, "Tht
Legislature may punish its Owl
members for disorderly behavior.
If these charges were not disorderly
behavior, he did not know what was
If they adopted resolution TO tar
and feather and ride on rail the
guilty ones, he did not think there
would be any objection.
The President announced that thu
four members charged could no
vote on the recommendation of tn
committee.
