Mr.. Hatch presented the report of
the Judiciary Committee on the
petition of female prisoner for
pardon, recommending it be grant
ed. Adopted.
Mr.. Waterhouse moved resolu-
tion for the appointment of a COM
mittee to consider the advisability
of having an appraiser appointed to
the Customs bureau. Carried. The
President appointed Messrs. Allen,
Waterhouse and Bolte as the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Emmeluth said nothing had
been heard from the newspaper
committee. There was sedition
act on the statutes, and he wanted
either to see that law wiped out or
else the newspaper Holomua be
suppressed. He had got his belly
full of that dirty sheet. He moved
that the Acknowledgement be autho-
rized to take proceedings against
the managers of the Holomua for
its utterances of the past few weeks.
Mr.. Brown did not think it advis-
able to take general proceedings.
1t would be enough to take action
on individual complaints.
Mr.. Emmeluth would not care if
it was only the local influence of the
dirty sheet, but it went abroad to
show that such insulting matter
could be uttered under the very
noses of the Provisional Govern
ment.
Mr.. Hatch thought differently
from the last speaker. The Holo-
mua was one of the leading advo-
Gates of royalty, and showed people
abroad the class of persons support
ing that cause. 1t was doing the
Provisional Government a good SER
vice.
Mr.. Emmeluth wanted to know, if
the legal lights laughter of the
Council were indifferent to the Ho-
lomua, what was the purpose of the
sedition act2
Mr.. Tenney said if the Holomua
called him pot -bellied, pigeontoed
monstrosity it wouldn't disturb him
a bit.
Minister Smith was not Indifferent
to the complaint. The Holomua
could not be allowed to go beyond a
certain point.
There being no seconder to the
motion, the matter dropped.
A motion to adjourn was made.
Mr.. Emmeluth said that few
weeks ago the Minister of Finance
set the pace for dismissals of royal,
lists from Office. He would like to
know what was being done in other
departments. If restoration took
place within six months, there was
no doubt that every friend of annex.
alton would be dismissed from office
In looking over the books of the
Kuokoa native annexation paper
with view to suspending its publ.
cation, he had not found that any
Government employee in that build.
ing contributed one fifty cents a
month to the support of the paper
Minister Smith said the matter
had not been lost sight of, but &C.
tion was delayed by the illness OF
the President.
Mr.. Brown considered it was un
wise to disturb the civil service
while their affairs were in the hand
of the United States Congress.
, Mr.. Emmeluth said that was tn
story ever since March |. Whel
) Mr.. Blount came it was said
> might hurt the Government t,
make changes. If the Interior OF
fee had been cleaned out then, j
| would present an appearance no,
they might be proud of, instead O
: one that they were ashamed of.
Mr.. Waterhouse agreed with Nj
Q Emmeluth. Government employ
: ees were making bets for restora
o ton, and bets had been paid With
= few days.
Minister Smith contended tha
Y much had been done, and instance
the complete change in the Fire Dc
partment. Still he did not desir
X the work to cease.
The Secretary by request read tn
resolution of the Councils.
Y President Dole assured the Cour
= ellis there was no disposition of th
y Executive to evade the expressed dt
y sire of the Councils.
