uuesc aIe lor appropriations alrc'luy
in the bill, or else under considera-
ton by the Minister of Interior.
Laid on table. The committee re-
commended that the bill amending
the homestead law be passed. Re-
port received and bill to take its
course.
Rep. Paehaole presented the re-
port of the special committee on q
resolution of Rep. Nawahi for the
removal of Rep. Rosa from the ju-
dietary committee for the purposes
of its investigation of the opium
scandal. They find that the charge
that Rep. Rosa had hindered the
committee is not sustained by the
evidence, but believing that the
judiciary committee should not have
Rep. Rosa on it for the opium in
vestigation, because he was on the
special committee that already re-
ported, they recommend that the
House consider this point in COM
mi5tee Of the whole.
Rep. Apiki moved the report be
accepted.
Rep. Brown considered the COM
mittee had simply thrown its duty
back on the House.
Noble Mccarthy defended the
report on the ground that the COM
mittee did not want to take the res
possibility of recommending Rep.
Rosa's removal although they con-
sidered that desirable to give the
committee full chance.
Rep. Kalua moved the report be
accepted and laid on the table.
Rep. Richard defended the re-
port as member of the committee.
Rep. Kahookano urged that the
committee having found the charges
against Rep. Rosa unfounded should
have recommended that the resolu-
ton of Rep. Nawahi be rejected.
Rep. Nawahi considered that the
committee had shirked their duty
like the special opium committee.
Their report should be laid on the
table. He thought that Rep. Rosa 8
place should be filed during this
investigation with another member,
as he had evidence he did not wish
to present while Rep. Rosa was on
the committee.
Rep. Paehaole defended the re-
port as the best the committee
could present.
Rep. Brown commended that the
grounds Of the resolution having
been found baseless, the committee
should have recommended that it
be laid on the table. He moved
that the report be laid on the table
and the committee discharged.
Noble Mccarthy reminded the
hon. member that one ground of
the resolution was that Rep. Rosa
should be removed because he had
taken part in the previous investi-
CATION. This reason was supported
by the committee, but they could
not recommend the removal of Rep.
Rosa.
Rep. Bush considered that the
committee could have recommended
the substitution of another member
on the judiciary committee without
any reflection on Rep. Rosa.
Noble Baldwin did not agree witt
the idea that member ought moi
to sit on two committees TO consider
single subject. To recognize
such principle would he estabish
} ing bad precedent, as sometimes
it might be very desirable to have
member serve again in the same
matter on different committee.
: Rep. White spoke in favor of re
moving Rep. Rosa from the judi
ciary committee.
Rep. Rosa would not have spoken
il it were not that the previou
speaker had said if he was a gentle
man he would have resigned.
reply he would say that if the di,
: satisfied members of the committe
!, wanted him to resign they shoul
have asked him like gentlemen. ii
would have resigned il it were NJ
for the charge of the hon. memb;
for Hilo that he had blocked III
