a feeling to loosen up more. 1t had
been stated that discrimination was
used in issuing licenses, giving rise to
the feeling that there was a liquor trust
here If there was such thing as
Liquor trust" the passing of the reso-
luton would make it stronger than ever
and give it advantages not desired by
the resolution. He was not in favor of
passing any laws which would strength
en- any trust, be it liquor otherwise.
Gilfllan said he did not want to make
a misstep and withdrew his resolution
and he introduced a substitute which
provoked considerable housekeeping. 1t
read as follows:
| Resolved, That committee of five
members be appointed by the Speaker of
| this House to take up the matter of IA
voritism in the issuing of licenses by the
| Government, make diligent inquiry
thereon, and report their findings to this
| House;
That the committee have like privi-
leges relative to employing counsel and
| taking of evidence accorded to the
standing committees.
! Makekau Embossed his tongue once
more and lifted his voice in protest. The
| first part was all right but the latter
part was wrong and should be rejected.
Hihio moved the resolution be tabled.
BeCkley tnOuSnt tnaC the resolution WAS
as perfect as could be. and should be
! adopted.
| Aylett had noticed oneSdedneSs in the
| issuance of licenses especially when the
| Bee Hive saloon was burned out last
year and had been compelled to move
| across the river, but later saloons had
been put upon the ashes of the old one,
but to new proprietors. He advocated
| the adoption of the resolution. The
| people who have granted the licenses
were probably Gin" with the liquor trust.
/ An investigating committee should be
appointed to look carefully into the
matter.
Prendergast favored the resolution The
wholesale liquor men had grown rich in
the business and We're spending their
! money in England and elsewhere and
| the Territory was denied the privilege
| of deriving any benefit from their reve-
| nueS.
! The Speaker put the motion to table.
which was lost. The motion to have the
| resolution pass as introduced, together
! with amendments offered by two mem
bers, Makekaus amendment to strike
out the words, Ito employ Attorney
was carried.
Emmeluth jumped to his feet to ques-
ton Makekau as to whether in contem-
plating the passage of the resolution, he
knew that persons to be investigated
could not be put under oath Makekau
arose to a point of order, and the Speak
er at once put the motion to pass the
resolution, which carried, and Emmeluth
sat down unsatisfied.
Emmeluth offered the following reso-
luton, which was passed:
| Resolved That the Governor of the
Territory of Hawaii be and he is here
by requested to furnish this House with
the following:
Originals or copies of all records. books.
n re md Of
cry nature to transactions of the eXecu-
tive department of the Government
from the annexation of these Islands to
the United States to date.
That the Governor submit to this
House the correspondence between the
} President of the Republic of Hawaii and
A. S. Hartwell. the alleged unofficial
delegate to Washington during the So
} called transition period
Emmeluth said it was to bring into the
House all transactions of the Territory
since annexation. He said it would
, prove that a great deal of legislation
had been made that the House wanted
to undo. AS to the alleged correspond
ence between the Executive and Messrs.
Smith and Hartwell, he felt sure it
would be interesting, to say the least.
, The resolution was adopted. A recess
was taken until 1:30 p. m.
