Rep. Robertson reported for the
Judiciary Committee on House bill 81,
relating 10 the Penal Code and Penal
Laws, in part, as follows:
I'VE approve of the object Of the
bill, which is 10 authorize reference to
and citation from the compilation Of
the Penal Laws recently made by S.
N. Balou, without, however, enacting
it as law. This step is taken for con-
yenience sake and also for safety in
the pTeferring Of charges in the Dis
trict Courts throughout the country,
wherein reference may be made TO the
new volume. We recommend the bill
pass with certain amendments
Report laid on the table to be con
sidered with the bill.
Minister Cooper informed the House
that it was drawing near to the time
when five members of the Council Of
State should be chosen by the men,
bers.
A communication from the Senate
announced the passage of a resolution
referring to the Carter Memorial on
Union Square Placed on the order Of
the day.
When the matter first came up, the
majority of the memebers were in
favor of adopting the resolution but
after due deliberation it was referred
to a special committee of three COM
posed of Reps. Pogue, Atkinson and
Isenberg.
Rep. Pogue moved for postpone
ment of the resolution but this was
lost. Rep. McCandless expressed the
opinion that the resolution was noe
strong enough and that it should be So
worded as to cause the Executive TO
remove the fountain from the square.
Rep Loebenstein agreed with this
and said that the Executive had no
right whatever to grant the space on
the square for the fountain. Rep.
Pogue referred to the House as being
ton should be shown. AS he under}
stood it, the resolution was to the effecb
of criticizing the Executive. He did
not care to do this unless he knew abb
solutely that the Executive was wrong.
Minister Cooper spoke in part as fol-
lows defining the position of the Exc
cutive:
1.-The Executive in authorizing the
erection of the memorial fountain
now objected to, did not act without
a reason. A petition was received
from a committee representing a large
body of our best citizens, men who
have stood by the Government since
it's inception. They lost one of their
comrades in the uprising of 1895, and
take this means of perpetuating his
memory. They were entitled to a
hearing before the Executive and a
consideration of their desire. Thd
plan as first submitted by the commit
tee appeared to require too much
space; and upon the suggestion. of thd
Executive, the committee reduced the
plan so that it does not interfere with
either of the streets leading into the
square. The location was made by
the survey department. The fountain,
if erected, would prove an ornament
to the square and crafty many Of our
best citizens. I hope that the resOlu-
tion viii be referred to the committee,
so that those interested in the matte4
have an opportunity to be heard. .
Rep. Robertson introduced the fol-
lowing resolution which was adopted:
Resolved, That the election Of five
members of the Council of State of
the Republic of Hawaii, be made the
order of the day for Wednesday, April
