any committee, and lie agreed with
the motion to lay the resolution OH
the table.
Rep. Brown was in favor of refer
ence to the judiciary committee, be-
cause some members seemed to think
the select committee had sighted
their work.
Rep. Rice rose to the point of
order that motion to lay on the
table was not debatablc.
Noble Widemann said it was time
this bugbear was stopped-this
shutting off discussion on a motion
to lay on The table. 1t was bug
bear, it was a humbug.
The President ruled that discus.
sion was in order on the main
motion to refer to the judiciary COM
mittee.
Rep. Brown said the committee
had worked till IL O'Clock nights, act
ed as detectives, and done all they
could to get at the truth. If the
members had brought in their indi-
vidual suspicious rs decision, they
would not be worthy of being called
honorable men.
Noble Isenbcrg said he had not
made his motion TO table the reso-
luton for the purpose of sitting dis
cussion, but because it was his firm
conviction that nothing more could be
| gained by reference to a comittee.
Rep. Marques gave an additional
reason for reference to the Judiciary
committee. Should the Attorney
General fail after the best of work,
an impression might be left on the
minds of some native members that
the investigation had been sighted.
Therefore, he would urge that these
members have an opportunity of in
vestigating the matter themselves.
Noble Widemann discussed the
evidence and said he thought it
would have been best if this matter
could have been investigated by the
police from the first, but that would
have been impossible from the num-
|
under suspicion. He would he glad
to see the judiciary committee take
hold of the case, if they thought
they could find out the guilty per-
sons, but he did not believe they
could.
Rep. Nawahi hoped the House
would refer the matter to the judi
ciary committee without amend
ments. Give them chance and
don't ridicule them before they
failed.
Rep. White made a humorous
speech in Hawaiian, without inter
probation, but sandwiched with the
following expressions in English
''Too many cooks spoil the broth. -
"These are all honorable men of the
House" ''Do the hest they cal
to find this out" "Opium turned
into bricks; that's miracle, ant
we ought to unravel it,"
Rep. Rosa would be willing tt
let the judiciary committe try it, i,
only to satisfy the native members, al
though he did not believe in Away
yielding to their peculiar ideas. l
the Judiciary committee could fine
out the truth, they were better mel
than the select committee. The,
would succeed if they could get thu
Cinnamon to speak, as they knew
all about it.
Noble Marsden had been in favo
of laying on the table, but seeing
the temper of the House he was will
ing to give the judiciary committe
a chance. He moved the previou
question. Carried.
The resolution WIS referred to tn
judiciary committee.
