was to give time to bride against the
lottery. 1t was time to stop recrimin-
ating, as the Lord said, Let him
that is without sin among you cast
the first stone.' Twenty-six members
the other day signed a paper that they
would turn out the Cabinet. What
hindered them Bribery. The speaker
proceeding, denounced the Reform
party, and Noble Young in particular.
He was applauded by the crowd be-
hind the rail, while the President
called him to order He said the Re-
form party betrayed them. What he
wanted was to work in harmony.
Rep. Iosepa saw no use in continu-
ing the debate any further. It would
change nobody He believed the bill
was bad, because it would destroy the
Hawaiian people. He would move
the previous question. Carried.

Noble Peterson wished to explain
his vote. A number of months ago
members of his party had waited on
him and requested him to support the
bill. Many hundreds wished it. He
talked with many able and respect
able men who favored it. He took the
matter into consideration, and came
to the conclusion that it was justi-
fable bill to pass, and he promised to
vote for it. If he had it to do over
again he might do differently. He did
not care whether he was the only
| white man to vote for the bill or not;
nor whether his political career ended
to morrow. He should keep his pro-
mise and vote no. Applause
Noble Cornwell-Mr. President: So
far it may appear that L have lent
some encouragement and support to
this bill. 1 will say now that my
constituency have required this of
me. There is a time, however, Mr..
President when the demands of a
constituency must be disregarded, and
| feel this is the time when / should
take this course, and refuse my sup
port to a measure which [ believe will
meet with most disastrous results to
this country. My promise was given
in caucus to support this bill, and /
have regretted it ever since, and I
would ask the introducer of this bill
to release me from my promise. If he
cannot do so, regret to say l must
vote against the bill.
Rep. White declined to do so.
Noble Cornwell said he would then
remain kanalua.
AT the close, being called, Noble
Cornwell voted aye, and was cheered.
Rep. Kapahu at the end changed
his vote from aye to no, before which
the vote was tie.
Noble Thurston moved the bill be
considered section by section.
Rep. Bush opposed that. He moved

The motion to consider the bill Sec
| ClOn Dy SeCClOn was lOSC.
The bill was read.
Rep.Smith moved to amend Section
l by striking out the words Lottery
! policy and combination tickets, de-
vices and certificates and fractional
parts thereof" and substitute the word
"tickets."
The amendment was carried.
| Section was also amended in ac-
! cOrdance with it.
Noble Marsden said he believed
! 1t was speculative. The bill provided
fo;' the filing of a bond for the pay.
ment of the annual subsidy to the
Government. He would move to
amend by adding that the bond be
filed within four months.
Rep. Bush considered this amend
ment an attempt to kill the bill.
Rep. White moved it be year
Carried.
Noble Thurston said the 9th Sec
ton, which defined the condition OF
the charter did not compel the com
pamy to accept the charter. They
could do business without it, under
Section l. He would amend by add.
ing provision requiring the accept.
ance of the charter by the company.
The amendment was adopted.
Rep. Smith said the company might
have no property except some office
furniture. He would move that the
bond should furnish sureties owning
not less than 100000 of real estate in
| this kingdom. We must have sureties
whom we could get at. Not men resid-
ing in Mexico, or no one knows where
Attorney General Brown supported
that. The public must be protected. The
company might be compelled to buy
Government bonds and deposit them
as security. All the company wanted
was place where they could legalize
the robbery which they proposed tc
carry on. They would not have any
property here.
Rep. Nawahi opposed adopting any
amendments at all. If the Cabinet
cannot carry the law out, let them
resign and let some of us try it. If l
were Minister of Finance 1 would re-
quire good bond.
Noble Peterson moved to amend by
adding to Rep. Smiths amendment
provision that this company as al
alternative might deposit Sl25,000 il
Government bonds. Passed.
Noble Thurston said the bill con
tanned no provision that the franchise
should be forfeited, if the money due
the Government was not paid. III,

made to the Government after the
first drawing. It should be before
