Morning Session.

vious meeting were read and APP
proved.
Noble Baldwin from the Finance
Committee presented report on
Bill l67, relating to pilots and pilot
age at the port of Honolulu, and
which was, in substance, to the effect
that the committee found the main
difference between this bill and pres
ent law is the provision that all
pilotage fees shall be paid to
the Collector-General for the use
of the Hawaiian Government and
that "the compensation of pilots for
the port of Honolulu shall be such
as shall be fixed and appropriated
by the Legislature. They find that
the pilotage fees for the past period
amounted to S36,S51.99 There have
been four pilots for the port of Ho-
nolulu although three have perform
ed most of the service. The COM
pensation of each of these pilots has
been about $1,000 per year which in
cludes their expenses. After careful
consideration the committee report
in favor of the bill, and the Legisla-
ture is to fix the salary of the pilots.
Signed by all the members of the
committee.

ton.
Noble Marsden was opposed to
the motion, stated that he had heard

benefit of the planters. He had in
terviewed, personally, several of the
leading mechanics of the city this
morning, and they were to man in
favor of this bill. Unless the for
eign community got relief in their
business they would have to shut up
altogether. This registration would
clear the drones out. He had con
versed with mechanics who had
stated that if any member of the
Mechanics Union raised his voice
against the bill then he had better
pack up and leave.

sent: Minister Neumann, Reps. Bush,
Nawahi, Kamauoha, A. S. Wilcox.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox said that the
vote showed such strong support
of the bill that there was no use in
evincing opposition to it; he would
move that the rest of the bill pass
without consideration.
Rep. Ashford favored the motion;
the time would be saved by so doing.
Noble Thurston considered that
this was mere tilibustering, it was no
good to the House or to the would
be filibusters. He suggested that
the consideration of the bill be gone
on with.
Noble Horner moved an amend,
ment to the penalty, making the fine
$40 instead of $50.
Rep. Ashford moved to strike out
Section 10. He was not in favor OF
a law that placed dog-collar around
his neck or its equivalent in his
pocket. He would see the planta,
ton interests in Tophet before he
would vote away his personal liberty
in the proposed manner, and further
he would go to Tophet himself be-
fore agreeing to submit.
Noble Thurston said that the pre-,
vious speaker had stated that he was
willing to go to he'll rather than vote
for this bill; he had not said hell, but
he meant it-Tophet means hell
The honorable member could very
easily absent himself and get him.

the residents of this community
Rep. Ashford was now filibustering

he was willing to go to hell and have
the whole country go to hell rather
than vote in favor of this bill. The
member had said that he was willing
to vote for the Labor Bill, but with
out this measure there would be NJ

Rep. Bipikane considered that the
man that got this bill up and intro
duced it, was murderer at heart
Those who voted for it were of tn,
same ilk. He would like to have tn,
bill torn into shreds and thrown on,

Rep. Nawahi was opposed to the
bill. Boys were supposed to regis
