grace. Minister Damon warmly denied

Mr.. Jones moved reconsideration OF
the vote, as the wording of the COM
mittee's report was held not adopted.

Dor master had to work day and night,
and had no Sunday.
The item passed as In the bill.

panese immigration, $4,000. Commit
tee recommended $3.50 month, or
$4,000 for the period.

good man now in the Office and he un-
derstood would stay for the present
salary. He had desired to dispense

Damon and Cooper; Councillors Isen-
berg, Achi, Ena, Allen, Kane, Gonsal-
yes, Robertson, Kennedy. Mott, Gear,
Jones, Robinson and Kaulukou.
Minister Mott-Sni,h presented petit
ton sent to him, with letter. by the
japanese consul. 1t was from S75 ia
panese sufferers by the Chinatown fire,
praying to be exempted from taxation
for this year. II was referred to the
Executive.
Mr.. Gear asked for more time for
the committee on Interior department
tens In reporting progress.
Mr.. Robertson asked If the commit
ee could fix a time for reporting. II
t were not to be soon, the Council
night as well adjourn. The members
we're losing much time from their pri-
ate affairs.
The President also questioned the
chairman. II report could not be CIV
m soon, the Council might adjourn for
! few days.
Mr.. Gear answered that the commit
zee could report now II necessary
imply recommending that the items
,ass, but they desired to give an intel
igent report. They were working two
n three hours daily.
Minister Young testified to the in
lustry of the committee, which was
,oing to the bottom of things.
A discussion ensued to ascertain II
here was anything else ready that
,ould be taken up.
Attorney General Cooper brought up
he deferred item of $4,000 for jail
RS, guards and lunas of prisoners. The
object was to prevent the necessity of
sending prisoners down to Honolulu
rom the island of Hawaii. After con-
'ultation with the Marshal, he was
prepared to say that $1,000 would do
ust now, and he moved that this
pass. In answer to Mr.. Ken-
ledy as to economy, he said that the
dea was not so much to dlvid, up the
prisoners already on Hawaii, but to
'orm more camps so as 10 keep Hawa-
is own prisoners on that island.
Mr.. Robertson thought the explana-
lion was insufficient. Ii had been
he custom for years To- keep the pris-
'ners sentenced on Hawaii AMI Maui
or work on those Islands The only
way to get more prisoners, he answered
remark of the Attorney General, VA,
o put more men in Jail.
A pending motion to strike out was
ost, and the item passed. n. $500.

IS to whether the Executive had con-
idered the claiG, for salary OF Henry

commended should be paid.

you'd probably be considered at to-
lorrow's meeting of the Executive
