THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.
Thirty first Day.

House met at 10 A. NJ. Prayer by the
Chaplain. Minutes read and approved.
Rep. kalua read the report OF the
Judiciary committee on the petition
against the return of Hon. o.. X. Apiki as
for kau. The petition
alleged that some voters for Aplkl were
taken to the polls in mule cart belong
ing TO Hilea Sugar Co.; that banners
caricaturiag the opposite candidate were
carried about in mule carts; that j. w.
Smithies and j. kiai, runners for Aplkl,
were inside the polling places; that these
runners were paid for their services.
From the evidence the committee doubt |
whether the complaints have been sus-
tanned There was no proof that the |
use OF the carts was paid for by Apiki, or
that they were employed at his request. |
The alleged runners were watchers and
no more were paid than the law author |
lied. The committee cannot find reason /
for recommending that the election be
yoided.

Noble j M. Horner moved that mas
| much as the statement of Rep. j. Ma
wahi in this House, that foreign teachers

Rep. Kalua moved that the resolution
be referred to select committee for in

made it

up the rottenness of the Board OF Educa

ward Hon. G. r. Bishop in this House

before the House.

of the Education committee be APP
pointed, as that committee showed it
disposition already.
