EWaiiko asked for the taking up of
Senate bill so and Dickey asked for the
Loan bill to be handled.
Beckley charged that clerks were do
ing funny business with the bills plac-
ing them on the order of the day to suit
themselves. He asked if they were the
servants of the House or the House their
servants, claiming that House bill IS had
been typewriter and he knew it.
The members filed up to the bulletin
beard and Dickey said that he would like
to hear from Prendergast on the sub
ject of the Loan bill and several other
measures.
Prendergast answered that he was still
waiting to know if things were ready for
his report.

THE NIGHT SESSION.
Tricksters' methods were resorted to
by the Home Rule Independent Republi-
cans in the House last night acting in
concert with the outside boosters and
lobbyists, who are hoping to get places
from the Governor after his men have
been turned out. The plan was assisted
by the loose methods adopted in the
House that so often stands upon it's dig
nifty Outsiders, lobbyists and spectators
are allowed to lean over the backs of
members chairs in the fashion adopted

The tactics of the Home Rulers were
plainly shown in an attempt to keep the
Loan bill out of the House. The scheme
was well planned but clumsily carried
out.
Great difficulty was experienced in get
ting the House together in the first place.
Akina was absent and so was Beckley.

A final effort was made to bring up
the Loan bill, and the Home Rulers, see
ing there was an evident determination
to help on the measure, resorted to des-
perate methods.

show up during the evening.
\ The aforementioned eight men have
clearly identified themselves with the
gang which, with Beckley, the man who
hid the Loan bill in his desk, and prob
ably nearly all of the absent members, is
Systematically preventing the pessage of
the Loan bill.
Robertson showed that last night was
the final chance to pass the bill on Its
second reading and appealed strongly
that the measure should be pushed.
Dickey as chairman then gave notice
OF his intention to send out the sergeant
alarms with warrants for the arrest or
the absent members and instructions to
bring them back to the session.
Robertson said that it was no use
sending the sergeant-at-arms, that he
was incompetent and had connived with

Emmeluth protested against thus scor-
ing the sergeant without proof, and
Robertson replied that proof had been
furnished when the sergeant had been
instructed earlier in the evening to bring
in members who were in plain sight In
the lobby and on the terraces. 'Nakoo-
koo." continued Robertson, simply went
cut in the dark and stayed there"
Makainai disputed pickey's right to is
sue warrants and grew FESTIVE, asking
an adjournment. He finally stayed, how
ever. and Nakookoo went out with the
warrants, demurring that he had no ad-
dresses.
Beckley wandered In about $50, sur
prise depicted on his countenance, and
took zinc chair, which Dickey promptly
resigned.
The Vice Speaker called the House to
order and ordered the roll called, when
Makainai was discovered to have gone
home
Reckley then showed the purpose for
which he had come in by declaring the
House adjourned as there was no quor-
rm present under Rule So which pro-
yides for no member speaking more than
thirty minutes.
