Senator Northrup, from The Miscel-
laneous Committee, presented the fol-
lowing report on the Great Seal:
Your. Miscellaneous Committee to
which was referred the join, resolution
concerning the Great Seal of Hawaii,
have carefully considered every item
OF the resolution, and beg leave to re-
port as follows:
I'VE would respectfully recommend
that the Senate do not concur in the
action of the House OIL the resolution,
and we submit the following particu-
lars in which, according to the 'dess of
the members of the committee and of
others consulted, improvements can be
made.
"Arms-We would respectfully sug-
gest that in the heraldic shield the bars
in the upper left hand corner he replac-
ed by the Hawaiian Jack Tie eight in
habited islands Of the group would still
be represented by the bars In the right
hand lower corner. and We should have
in addition a representation of the Ha-
waiian flag. The surciarged star would
have additional significance by so do
ing.
The tabu sticks as shown in the ex-
hHoI would hardly be recognized by
Il Hawaiian, as neither the staff nor the
ball are SUCCESSFULLY drawn. They are
correctly shown IN the Great Seal of the
Monarchy, and if represented at all
should be significant by being correct.
"Supporters-The figure of Kameha-
meha 1. should convey the idea of a
monarch or one in authority. If this
idea is to be conveyed, there would be
necessitated the removal of the band
from over the shoulder and the altera-
ton of the fishermans rnalo, as shown
in the exhibit, to the royal malo, by
iengthening it to The knees.
Crest and Motto-We would suggest
that the rays of The rising sun should
be as in Exhibit A, rather than as
shown in the original exhibit and that
the different letters in the legend be all
in the same style. For instance, in the
word Hawaii there are two different
styles of the letter A, and in the word
Republic the letter U is different from
the U in the word Ia.
Further Accessories would last
1y suggest that a drawing of the ever
familiar and suggestive land mark,
our own grand old Diamond Head, be
given the position at the bottom of the
shield, in place of the fabulous Phoenix
This will make the seal characteristic
one, which your committee think is de-
sirous.
Your committe would earnestly ask
ludl lutSS SuSSeSlIOuS Dc given Sdlclul
consideration by the members of the
Senate, as some of them are of great
importance, or the significance of the |
seal will be in large measure lost"
The report was referred to the Print |
ing Committee.
Senator Baldwin reported that the
Committee on Commerce favored Ia
bling the bill licensing the manufacture
of alcohol from island fruits. The re-
port was adopted and tabled with the
bill.

to the manufacture of wine.

of the Civil Code, passed
