nSh leave. we feel that II the general
use of explosives were allowed, many [
choice species of Hawaiian fish would
disappear and our fisheries on which
SO many Hawaiians depend for d living
would be of little value.
For the protection of our fisheries we
would recommend the bill be laid on the
table. JOHN T. BROWN,

The report was adopted and then
1.-The Father of His Country" arose
and, with that awful dignity belonging
to any man who, say, should brand his
neighbors' cattle, gave notice of his in
tention to introduce An act entitled
An act to incorporate the city of Ho-
nolulu.'
Under suspension of rules, the bill
was read by title and referred to the
printing committee.
Senator Cecil Brown whispered to
Senator Paris: AT last Now we
will" Again it is a fortunate Incl
dent that the reporters table is far, far
away from the irate Senators.
But the look on the face of Senator
Cecil Brown was amusing to behold
when at that moment Mr.. Crabbe liz
troduced his Act to incorporate the
city and, county of Honolulu, present
ing together with this a draft, of the
proposed charter. The bill was referred
to the printing committee.
Senator Cecil Brown is evidently not
very strongly in favor of these munich
pal bills, but he contented himself by
whispering to the faithful Senator
Paris: - 1t had to come
Then the to-be or might have-b been
president, Mr.. Kaiue, woke up and
notice of his intention to Introduce AN
act to exempt from execution, attach
ment and every species of forced sale
the homestead of a householder having
a family, to the value of $780," Un=
der suspension of the rules the bill was
referred to the printing committee.
He was followed closely by John
Brown of Hilo. who gave notice of his
intention to introduce IAN act to ere
ate, establish and locate an agricul-
tural college and model farm, provid-
ing for the management thereof and
appropriating money for its mainte
nance and development
! Under suspension of rules the bill
was read first time by title and re-
ferred to the printing committee.
Then some Senator who Is interested
in Kalihi property scored a point when
Mr.. Paris read the following report of
the public lands committee, to whom
was referred the resolution providing
that $4,000 be appropriated for the
road from King street, up Kalfhi val
ley:
Your committee has gone over the
ground and finds the road in bad con-
dition. We also find that the Legisla-
ture of 1898 appropriated 500, 900 for
this road but that nothing has been
done to repair it until within the last
few weeks. Although there is quite a
large population in this valley, the road
is almost impossible in wet weather.
Your committee recommends the
amount in the old appropriation bill Of
1922, 900 be reappropriated for said road.
JOHN T. BROWN,
J. D. PARIS,
L. NAKAPAAHU
On motion of Mr.. White the motion
was laid on the table to be considered
with the appropriation bill.
Mr.. Kaiue, who is getting active,
wants money for wailuku. Where the
money Is to come from doesn't bother
the honorable Senator but he coolly
presented the following resolution:
Resolved, That the sum OF s19, 500 be
inserted in the loan bill or appropria-
ton bill for roads and bridges in the
district of Waikiki, Island of Maui, as
more fully appears in items hereto at
tached and made a part of this resolu-
ton
; On motion of Mr. White the resolu-
ton was laid on the table to be con-
!, sidered with the appropriation bill.
! While a member of the House of Rep
, resentatives wants to do away witt
personal taxes, Senator Achi wants tc
!, favor only those who are responsible
, for at least five children, which made
, the Senators look uncomfortable by
, giving notice of his intention to intro
duce IAN act to exempt the persona
taxes of parents who have at least five
children"
Senator White evidently believes il
q topsyturvydom and gave notice of his
! intention to provide for the revision Of
= the statutes of the Territory of Ha
wall.
, Peace reigned while the third reading
. of House bill 16, relating to the Grim.
. inal jurisdiction of district magistrates
o on the order of the day, was had Or
: the ayes and noes being taken, the bill
passed third reading by vote of i
: to 1.
Then trouble started. 1t was on ac
y count of the third reading of Senate
: bill 81 IAN act to prohibit the employ
q ment of any person not a duly qualified
;, voter of the Territory Of Hawaii as
laborer upon any public work of AM
kind, manner or description, In tn,
O. Territory of Hawaii, by any public of
ficer, servant or agent of the Territor!
f of Hawaii, or by any contractor unde
O and with the Territory of Hawaii, ant
+ to provide a penalty for the violation
of such act"
@ Senators Baldwin, Carter, Ceci
r Brown, J. Brown and Paris objected t
t the bill in the form it was reported
: from the judiciary committee and Sen
ator Achi, in an eloquent speech, point
8 ed out the fact that the bin would re
e suit simply in Hawaiian boys from tn
Il ages of Is to q years getting no worl
under the Government, even if they s.
2 desired. Achi was heartily applauded
g but Senator Kalauokalani couldn'
