luton asking for the dismissal of this
Cabinet. lie did not think this
motion would beside tracked unless
he lost his guess
Rep. Kamauoha judged that the
cause of the members di-suli ,faC-
ton was uccasioned by his neglect
ing his duties in the House To attend
to private business outs de that paid
him better. He would recommend
that the House adopt a Iuie that
members of the bar who absent
themselves from their legislative
duties be not recognized as members
of the House. The country mem.
bers were present daily; they wished
to get through. Honolulu members
had no such interest seemingly.
Rep. Kauhi said that both himself
and Rep. Ashford were absent on
account of having couple of pa
tents Claw to attend to. They had
administered the necessary medicine
and now they would be present con-
tinually Qaughter).
Noble Young desired that some
definite action be taken. 1t was a
waste of time as things were now 60
ing.
The Chair said that the motion "to
rise" in committee was in his opinion
equal to "to adjourn" in the House,
therefore not debatahle.
A scene of confusion followed,
Rep. Ashford stating that the Chair
was decidedly wrong. Noble Thurs
ton said that q motion to rise and do
certain thing was debatable but
there were no rules governing the
committee. The Chair was willing
to submit to the opinions expressed
and in the meantime
Rep. Robert Wilcox obtained the
floor and said that he was in favor of
the motion to rise, and no longer
consider the Appropriation Bill. He
wished the resolution of want of con-
idence considered. They knew that
a distinguished person had arrived
from California and it may be
thought that certain influences could
thus be brought on the Queen. No
more money should be spent or allot-
ted, for the policemen who do moth
ing were getting 500 per month,
while good Hawaiian men were get
ting $40 and $50. The high saIared
men were engaged as pimps for the
Marshal and the Attorney-General.
Minister Whiting (excitedly) de-
sired to know the meaning of the
speaker. He wanted the words used
taken down.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox stated that he
had not intended to use the word
pimps and he would withdraw it.
Minister Whiting desired that the
words be made a matter of record.
Noble Marsden appealed to the
Chair that the Representative was
out of order.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox said that il
there was any dispute desired to be
settled by the Attorney General will
him, it was very easy to do so by the
rules of the code duello. His seconc
would meet that of the Attorney
General at any time. (Laughter.)
Noble Marsden considered that {
motion to rise was equal to motion
to adjourn. He moved that thu
Committee rise.
The Chair said that there were n,
rules of order and could not tell wha
to do. He had given way in hi
opinion to two able lawyers in tn
House. He had given his opinion
before.
Noble Thurston rose to point o
order.
' Chair said that there was no rul
of order, according to the honorabl
members own statement.
There was short, sharp contro
; versy between the Chair and Nobl
r Thurston in explanation of the ad
e verse positions.
Rep Ashford got the floor an
said that he was in favor of the INC
ton made by Rep. Wilcox, and the
touched upon the resolution @
, "want of confidence" concluding b
saying, 1--WE are going to reach tn
ayes and noes in the vote of want &
confidence in this Cabinet before W
leave here this afternoon.
Rep. Robert Wilcox again got tn
floor and made various hearsay con
plants against the conduct of til
- Police Department, mentioning name
of employees which were not on til
! regular pay roll. He ended by say
ing that the Acknowledgement in b
report acknowledges the existence {
those opium rings. 1t was wei
known that the men engaged wei
the personal friends and associate
of the Minister and the Marshal. II
: was of opinion that the Marsha
" Deputy Marshals and Attorney-Gel
era were engaged in smuggling.
, The Chair put the motion that IL
" Committee rise; carried.
d On converting in Assembly al
after the report of the Commits
had been adopted, Rep. Ashford r
newed his motion made in COmmi
tee, and also moved the ayes al
