divldual lawyer. we all know that you |
can get an opinion from one lawyer, and |
one Numerically opposed to it from an
other. Ii the lease is not good, the
House cannot break 1t. Only the SUI
preme Court can do that.
Noble Muller could not see the force
OF the Minister'S remarks. After taking
advice the committee would draw their
own conclusions as TO the lease and re-
port them TO the House.
Rep. Nawahi was not in favor of the
resolution. The Attorney General was
the proper person to give the advice.
Noble Widemann hoped the President
would remove him, and substitute Rep.
Nawahi, whose legal talent would solve
all difficulties.
Rep. Nawahi said he was perfectly
willing.
Rep. Kapaehaole said there was no
need TO 60 outside for lawyers. There
were plenty in the House. The JUDI
ciary Committee, Tor instance, was en-
tirely composed of eminent lawyers. He
was member of the Legislature in 1888,
when there was question OF the disap-
pearance of Els 900. There was some
talk in the House then as To getting out
side help, but the lawyers in the House
explained everything He would move
| to amend by submitting the lease to the
| Judiciary Committee.
Noble Widemann said the House was
in very economical frame of mind. and
| he liked it, and hoped it would last. He
hoped Noble Muller would withdraw the
resolution, and the committee could pay
its own expenses.
| Noble Muller withdrew the resolution.

last the Hon. Noble Macfarlane made use
of certain language which was untrue
and could not be proved, and which was

House request Noble Macfarlane to prove
his statements, and if he cannot, that the
House deal with him accordingly.
Noble Cornwell rose to a point OF
order. The resolution was out of order
as the occurrence did not take place in
the House.
Rep. Kalua said he had a right to ex
plain his resolution, and the hon. gentle
man was out of order in interruptin:
him when he had the floor.
Noble Cornwell rose again to poin
of order, claiming that any one making
point of order was entitled to the floor
Rep. Kalua's remarks were inter
preted. He placed some value on hi
reputation, and charges that his hand
were tied, and that he had been bought
and that he was only doing the will @
others, made in the presence of others
whether in the House or just outside o
it, ought to be investigated and referre,
to a special committee. The hon. Nobl
, has wanted me to follow his lead blindly
but can do some of my own thinking
If the House believes am guilty of thes
t things shall feel constrained to resig
my seat.
| The President stated that he had yer
grave doubts about the propriety of sue
an inquiry as to things happening Outsid

Rep. Kalua said then the inquiry int

done outside.
