Section 10. This Act shall take effect
from its publication.
The Act passed its first reading. There
was no comment.
Mr.. Morgan-I should like to inquire
what has become OF the Chinese license
bill.
Mr.. Smith answered that the commit
tee would require more time. Its work
had been interrupted on account of the
act Tor a constitutional convention.
Mr.. Tenney introduced a resolution.
1t requests the Government to at once
proceed to learn if Portuguese immigra-
ton may not be resumed. The resolu-
ton mentions that the settlement OF
lands is very desirable; that the chief
interests of the country require labor,
and that it is good policy to secure ac-
ceptable permanent citizens in this
manner.
Mr.. Young quite agreed with the
sentiments of the resolution, said that it
was timely and was pleased to second it.
Mr. Smith said the same. After short
discussion the resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Emmeluth-What is the use of
looking after Portuguese if Japs are
being brought in right along?
Mr.. Tenney-Business cannot be sus-
pended. We must have labor.
Mr.. sEmmeluth-Is the STARS item
of last evening about the proposed i'm
portation of 1900 more Japs at once cor
rect?
The President looked to the Ministers
table for an answer. Mr.. Smith cor
roborated the STARS news.
Mr.. Emmeluth-I am not very familiar
with the immigration laws, but nothing
OF this kind should be taken up and
carried out without the knowledge OF the
Advisory Council.
| The President said that this country
had treaty relations with Japan on the
! labor question.
The act providing pension for the
widow of James Kauhane passed its
first reading
The act giving the dates in the law
extending the time for Oahu Railway
construction was made law.
The Act concerning dangerous per-
sons" was taken up.
Mr.. Tenney moved that the bill be
considered section by section.
Mr.. Morgan moved that the bill be in
definitely postponed. Seconded by Mr..
Damon. Mr. Morgan did not believe in
throwing the burden of proof upon
suspect. He thought the police
and army departments could deal
with really dangerous persons. Mr..
Damon said such measure seemed to
be step away from the goal for which
we were NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. govern
ment. The present authorities had been
doing well for year, and the cause was
brighter than ever. This character Of
legislation seemed too arbitrary.
Mr.. Smith said the law was certainly
radical. 1t might be called wal
measure, but did not come, as had been
suggested, from Russia. Every man
certainly had the right to defend
his own home or castle. Why
then, has not a country, com
]
self against dangerous persons. The
rights OF the accused were fully pro-
tected they having the right of appeal
There had been, perhaps were and as.
suredly might be persons in the country
really dangerous who could not
be reached except through such statute
as this. There are precedents
and parallels for such law.
1t is hoped that the law will be enough
to hold dangerous characters in place.
While the act may have harsh aspects
something like it is necessary.
The motion to indefinitely postpone
was lost. Messrs Wilder, Morgan, Zuhr
and Damon We're the minority.
Mr.. Tenney-I move that considera-
ton of the bill be postponed for week.
MIR. Wilder moved that the bill be
laid on the table. 1t could be taken up
and passed quickly if necessary. He
was not prepared, unless there was an
urgent demand. to vote upon an act
that would make an accused person
prove his innocence.
The bill goes over to next week.
The order OF the day-election of Q
Councilman--was announced. Secretary
Rodgers read the nominations: ID, b
Smith and Thomas Sorensen. The tel
lers were Messrs. Zuhr and Morgan
The result OF the ballot was:
ID. Is. Smith, ----.------l4.
Thos. Sorensen, y.
d. b. Smith was declared elected.
Mr.. Emmeluth offered a resolution
! that the Postmaster-General ask for ten
! ders for the remaining surcharged post
age stamps. Referred to the Financ,
! Committee.
At 2:30 the Councils went into execu
tive session.
