Afternoon Session.

Third reading OF Bill No. 81, an Act to
Provide Police Justice for Eva.
Minister Brown saw no need of a police
Justice in Eva. 1t was now very easy TO
get to Honolulu. He would ask Rep.
Kauhi for his reasons.
Rep kauhi thought the question
ought to have been asked before. The
reasons are the same as for creating a
police Justice in Makawao. Eva district
is going ahead now. Pearl City will he
the second, perhaps the first city IN this
Kingdom. The change will do no harm
and may do great deal of good.
Rep. Kalua moved tie bill pass.
Noble j. NJ. Horner would like TO know
what the effect OF these bills would be.
He had heard the statement that they
would cost no more, and if SO, and they
would accommodate the people of the
district, he would favor them.
The bill passed.
Under suspension OF the rules, Rep
Kalua presented resolution as
follows: Whereas many things have
been reported in regard to condition OF
lepers at the kalhi Hospital, and it is
proper that this House should be in pos
session of the actual facts, resolved, that
committee be appointed to visit the
QOSpltai duu lIlNcStlSdLt. nave uOI III
troduced the resolution from any desir.
to make trouble, but DIR. Lutz informed
me that he wished to have the matter
investigated.
Rep. Lucas-I move the resolution be
adopted. From an item / saw in the
ADVERTISER this morning, 1 zee that
Sister Rose Gertrude has stated that I'M
less some was done, che would have to
resign. | don't think she has come all
the way from England 10 be abused.
The resolution was adopted.
Noble Crabbe read by title under sus-
| pension of the rules an Act to provide
| for importation and quarantine OF live
| stock.
Third reading of Bill No. 10, enlarging
| the jurisdiction of Police Magistrates.
The bill passed.
| Consideration OF the majority and
minority reports on the new market,
Rep, Marques-Since the reports were
| printed new facts have TRANSFERRED. The
| market is connected with three depart
ments. The market itself, the survey
| department and the department OF pub
| lie works. AS it stands the Government
| do not know exactly where the market
| is to be- One department had one opinion
and another, another. This shows how
the matter stands Your committee
| cannot say anything about 1t. Ii large
dock is to be built at the foot of Richard
street as one department asserts, the
market cannot stand in the middle of
Richard street as the majority recon-
mend The building OF such dock
would be very desirable enterprise to
be undertaken. Unfortunately the Min
lister of Interior is not here to confirm
my statements. Under the circumstances
move to lay both of the reports on the
table, and that the location be left to the
Minister of the Interior.
| Minister Brown supported the motion.
| Noble Widemann--I support that mo-
ton, the more SO as the late Govern
ment have made the western part of the
harbor almost absolutely useless.
The motion WAS carried.
Second reading OF Bill No. 70 an Act
| to provide Police Justice for Hamakua,
| Hawaii
Rep. Richard moved the bill pass to
| engrossment Carried, to be read a
third time on Monday.
Second reading OF Bill No. "A regulat-
ing the naturalization of foreigners.
Minister Brown-The only change is
that the Act of 1887 is mandatory
and this makes its discretionary. The
Supreme Court have lately decided that
naturalized Chinese can come or go as
they like. Since that time there has
been great many applications for nat
uralization.
Noble Widemann-On general princi-
pies ] am not in favor OF giving too
much discretion, but in this case | will
move the bill pass to engrossment.
Rep. Kalua-The bill is not strict
enough. We may not always have a
Minister like the present and the last,
who will exercise a sound discretion. l
move reference TO the Committee on
| Commerce.
Minister Peterson-Under the present
law the Minister cannot refuse. There
are large number OF applications now
in which the Minister is delaying with a
view to getting this bill passed. The
bill cannot be made any stronger under
our Constitution. Delay would do no
good and | ask tkat it be passed.
Keep. kalua withdraws his motion and
proposes as an amendment, that the
Minister of the Interior with the ap-
prevail OF the Cabinet, may naturalize,
| etc.
Minister Peterson-I have no objec-
ton.
Noble Widemann-I respect the mo-
ton of the hon. member from Waikiki,
but thought we ought not to delay. The
amendment will put more hindrances IN
the way, and so favor it. 1t needs a
further change. 1t must read "in their
discretion, )" not in his discretion.
