Rep. Kapaehaole moved the resolution
be referred to a select committee, and
that the Attorney-General be one OF the
committee.
Rep. White moved the resolution be
| laid on the table The House is not in
| possession of all the facts. 1t may be
| that he was reckless in the execution
of his duty. Better wait until after the
trial.
| Noble Pua thought the resolution
ought to be laid on the table permanent
| lv. Lots of officers had been shot.
! Seven men were shot in the palace yard,
| but no provision was made for their
| families.
Rep. Kahookano thought the resolu-
| ton should be referred to a select COM
| mittee.
| Rep. Richard favored reference to a
| committee. We know that these lepers
in the outer districts are armed and pre-
pared to resist arrest, and as a conse-
| quence the officers run great risk.
Minister Peterson was in favor of re-
ferring to committee. What that COM
mittee would do would not have any
bearing on the jury at the trial few
weeks hence. The facts in the case can
| be obtained from my office. 1t is not
necessary to bring in a bill. 1t should
be in the shape of immediate relief.
Rep. Rickard on suspension of the

The House proceeded to the consider
alton of the majority and minority re-
| ports of the Committee on Education on
petitions for establishing English school
| houses at Waihee, Maui, and Waialua,
| Molokai.
Rep. Kapaehaole said the majority re-
port recommended, without giving any
particular reasons, that the petitions be
laid on the table. The minority report
gives strong reasons why the school
houses should be built. hope the
minority report will be adopted.
Noble Isenberg said if a petition was
sent to the Board of Education and it
was found that the schools were needed
the Board would build them. This
House had nothing to do with building
school houses. The majority of the COM
| mittee acted on the advice of the Board
of Education. He moved the minority
report be laid on the table.
Rep. Hookano-As one of the minority
made inquiries as to these two petitions,
and found that these schools were really
necessary. The Board need not let the
expense stand in the way. All that was
wanted was a house to shelter the
children. No ornamental work was re-
quired.
Rep. Kanealii said the people had
been petitioning the Board of Education
since 1886, but to no effect. l move the
minority report be adopted.
Noble Walbridge thought the remarks
of Noble 1senberg were entirely proper
1t was not right to burden the House
with these bills, the proper place was the
Board of Education.

Gus question Carried.
