The Honolulu Protective
League is Fully
Organized.
ITS RANGE Of ACTION
CANVASSED In MEETING
Poor Gilbert Islanders Have Their De-
plorable Case Brought Up by
Rev. 0. H. Gulick and
Discussed.

League met to perfect organization at
Y. M. C. A. hall yesterday afternoon.
At their preliminary meeting fort
night previous they had adopted a
constitution and bylaws. Now, when
an amendment was thus early desired
in the laws, with reference to the cleo
tion Of officers, the question was raised
as to how the instrument could be
amended without the notice prescribed
by itself for such purpose. The meet
Ing got over the difficulty, or rather
cut through 1t.
The Men Those present were

Minutes Of the preliminary meeting
were read, but the reading of the con-
stitution and bylaws thereat adopted
was waived.
kuo<<v Mr.. Gulick for COM
Points mittee reported twenty
Come Up names from which to Sc
lect fifteen directors. Then ensuei
some fine parliamentary practice.
Someone had mentioned an amend.
ment to the constitution relative to the
composition OF the executive agreed
as being necessary.
Mr.. Kincaid objected to any bust
ness until all participating had signed
the constitution and paid their annual
dues Of one dollar each.
The chairman held that as such sign
ing would practically adopt the consti-
tuition, the desired amendment could
not then be adopted for two weeks and
so organization would be delayed that
time.
Messrs. Weldon. Cooke and Bowen
made remarks, and ultimately the
signing took place.
Mr.. Kincaid then moved the adoption
OF the constitution with Its proposed
amendment, to which Mr.. Gulick raised
the objection that the signing Of The
constitution having ratified its adop'
ton 1t could not now be amended ex,
cept under its own provision fh
amendment.

those upon the committees submitte,
list who had not yet signed the const.
tuition and paid the fee. The char
ruled that, according to the Garlic
judgment of the meeting, such were 40
members of the League.
Mr.. Gulick said there was nothing
in the constitution declaring that tn
directors must be members, but, a
they all had promised to serve II elect
ed, undoubtedly they would becom
members.
Mr.. Kincaid thought they were eligl
BILE on condition that they becam
members forthwith, and the chat
thereupon modified It's ruling with thl
understanding,
