then many petitions had been re-
ceived which changed the aspect Of
the question. a reference of the
bill to select committee would
compel him to resign from the
Judiciary committee, as he would
take il as vote of want Of conf
dcncc.
Rep. r.. w. Wilcox supported re.
ference to the Judiciary committee.
He was born at lIonouk and
brought mp at Waikiki, and always
thought both terms of Court should
be held at Lahaiua. Waikiki was
only plantation village. If it was
not for the hospitality of Mr.. Kalua
members of the bar could not be
properly entertained at Waluku.
When Lahaina got the roads il
ought to have, the place would
make progress.
Rep. Kaneaii was willing to trust
the judiciary committee to give the
bill fair consideration.
Noble Walbridge withdrew his
motion for select committee 10 ia
vor of the judiciary committee.
Rep. Nawahi thought it would be
q good idea if the Mani members
would give tea party, and talk
gossip like the ladies, for the pur-
pose of settling their differences.
Rep. White spoke in both lang
uages in favor of rejecting the bill.
There was no necessity for the
change. People could be accommo-
dated well at Lahaina, and there
was no saloon at that place.
Rep. Marques was at loss to
know how TO vote. The House was
expected to act for the people, but
some people were in favor of the
change and others were against it.
If it was referred to committee
they would only get the different
opinions of members of the commit.
tee. The only fair way of deciding
the question was to leave it to 4 vote
Of the people of the four islands
composing The district, and if allow
able he would like to introduce a
resolution to that effect under sus-
pension of the rules.
Rep. White (being given the floor
again after several members had
called him to Orderly argued again
that Lahaina should retain its term
of Court. If the measure WAS wrong
ii should be rejected at once.
The motion TO refer to the judi
ciary committee carried.
Second reading of an Act to abol-
ish Imprisonment for breach Of labor
contract.
Rep. Bush (introducer of the bill)
moved to refer it TO select commit
tee. AS il affected the planting in
dustry, he asked that fair sprink-
ling of that industry be put in the
committee. 1t was well known that
plantation lunas went to extremes
in regulating field laborers. Some
plantations were giving up the con.
tract system, and he thought the
country had arrived at period
when the legislation proposed would
be beneficial.
Noble Marsden seconded the mo-
ton, and thought the committee
should consist Of seven members, MS
the bill related to very important
subject.
Rep. Bush accepted the amend
ment.
Rep. Rice moved the bill be re
ferrcd to the committee on agricul
tHre and commerce, as it fell parti
cularly within that committees pro
vince.
The motion to refer to selec
committee of seven carried.
Second reading of an Act to de
fine the duties to be performed b,
those persons who have become tn
"kokuas" of the lepers.
Rep. Kaiua moved the bill be re
: ferred to the sanitary committee
+; not because he opposed the bill bu
!, because it was imperfect. 1t pro
vided no penalty for kokuas who d.
not perform their functions pro
perly.
Noble Marsden was willing to hay
, the bill go TO the sanitary commit
tee, but not just yet. He moved i
be laid on the table until the repor
is received from the select commit
tee to visit Molokai.
Noble Walbridge seconded th
amendment.
Rep. Paehaole, who introduce
