Rep. kalua moves to strike out alto
gether and insert in department of
Foreign Affairs where it would more
properly appear.
Rep. Rosa-Do not think it was inten-
ton to confine this item to reception of
strangers. TWAS also intended TO cover
other entertainments and relieve His
Majesty's purse from the burden If
transferred to Foreign Department it
would refer to strangers only and will
not relieve His Majesty, and [ object to
transfer to the Foreign Affairs Depart
ment.
Noble Widemann-The member from
Waialua is mistaken in his argument. 1t
will relieve His Majesty in any case. l
! am willing to vote for it and am willing
to have it transferred to Foreign Affairs
| Department, but the clause requiring the
Minister OF Foreign Affairs to approve
| bills don't believe in at all, and think
| almost an insult to the King.
| Rep. Rosa said if words referred to are
stricken out, will withdraw my motion.
! Rep. Marques see Ito reason for
| putting item in department of Minister
of Foreign Affairs. All countries vote a
| sum TO enable the sovereign to give en-
| tertainments. | move to amend making
mony payable in submission OF vouch-
ers to Minister of Finance.
The motion to pass at 0,000 was car
ried

amendment, and Rep. Marques rose to a
point of order which was not ruled on,
| and the motion to transfer to Foreign
Affairs Department was carried.
Rep. Lucas moved to insert 81 800 for
Her Majesty Queen kapiolani. l see
nothing here for Her Majesty. and l
know she spends great deal for good
purposes among the Hawaiian people,
and has little left for herself, and l think
the House ought to give her something.
Rep. Kauhi-I do not object to max
ing allowance for Her Majesty, but the
amount is absurdly small and seems al
most insulting.
Rep. Lucas raises to $4,000 and on
Noble Widemann's suggestion to SIC, 900.
Rep. Kapaehaole-- No appropriation
was made last session, and we do not
know that it is needed. If We once COM
mence, great deal will be added to the
bill, and | am not in favor of the item.

knew the man and think item should
pass.
Noble Widemann-W While do not OBJ
ject to giving this widow $40 month
| object to this method. There are othel
widows in just the same fix. If we art
going to follow this system, we ought t.
, pass law covering all the cases.
Rep. Nawahi-Am opposed to it on thu
same ground as Noble Widemann. w,
have just given Mrs. Barnard 5000. WHY
should we not give this woman, il W,
give her anything, the same? Is it be
cause she is native and Mrs. Barnard
3 haole?
Rep. Brown says Rep. Marques ha
given notice OF bill to provide for pen
sions for retired Government officials.
D therefore move item be deferred unit
that bill has been considered.
: Rep. Kapaehaole-The House does nc

o woman are; therefore move referenc

9 Noble Cornwell agrees with membe
u for Waialua that the widow of a faithfr
II servant of the Government is entitled {
e some assistance, and | shall support hi
motion.
q Rep. Nawahi-Am in favor of refe
} ence to a special committee. This
e only thirty cents a day. Perhaps sh
ought to have more, perhaps as much a
e Mrs. Barnard.
Rep. White was in favor of a speci:
e committee. Perhaps the widow is sti
IL young and good-looking, and after "
d have passed this some aged millionail
IL may come along and be willing to be
e father to her children.
