1t Can Be Answered-House Asks
Why?-Passes Another Resolution.

The brilliant members of the House
are still anxious TO know the where
about of j. f.. Brown. They do not
know that Brown is in town; that ne
can be found at his Office during busi-
ness hours; that he has been inter-
viewed by local newspapers and also
that he did not go to Washington to
lobby for the repeal of any land laws.

was evident this morning when note
was received from Governor Dole in

wind Gilfillan introduced another reso-
luton.

sent to the Governor through the COM
mittee of Public Lands, asking for in
formation as to Mr.. Browns where
abouts and as to the nature of his
business in Washington and the rea-
son for his long absence. The Cover
nor returned the communication to the
committee with the statement, that as
the communication was not drawn up
in proper shape, it was not considered.
Gilhllan's resolution asks the Governor
to state in what manner the communi-
cation was not acceptable, and for the
Governor to state what part or parts
of the communication was faulty and
to amend the same so the committee
could act on 1t. The resolution was
adopted.
The following is the Gllhllan's re-
solution in full presented by him this
morning:
Whereas, the Governor of this Terri
tory has seen fit to return to this
House, a resolution transmitted to him
in accordance with the terms thereof,
with the information that the same
is mot in such a shape as can be con-
sidered by him." as communicated to
this House by the committee on Public
Lands, through it's chairman, and
Whereas, the Governor in returning
these documents has failed to indicate
the shape in which the same should be
placed in order to enable him to yield
them consideration, therefore be it
Resolved, that the Speaker of this
House transmit to the Governor GER
titled copy of the communication which
is the subject matter of this resolu-
ton in order to make it acceptable to
the Governor of this Territory.
Representative Dickey at this juno
ture was called to the chair, and House
Bill No. SO, providing for the control
sewerage system, was his first CALL
The report of the committee on Pub
lie Lands favored the passing Of the
bill to it's second reading, with amend
ments attached to it. Emmeluth rose
and once more counSelled the House to
be a cautions in its action on the bill
before the House, and said the city
and county government Dill would raise
havoc with same.

committee.
Makainai for the public lands com-
mittee reported on the replies of the
governor to certain questions asked Dy
the house.
The speaker declined to receive re7
solution offered by Kekauole because
is was not written in English.
Emmeluth offered motion in writing
increasing the special committee on
taxation from three to five. Makekau
rose to the point of order that the rules
of the house made special committees
consist of three members and hence the
motion was out of order unless 1t was
offered as a notice of intention to
amend the rules. Dickey read the rule
showing that the rule was that special
committees should consist of three
members unless otherwise ordered by
| the house, and hence the motion was
in perfect order. Makekau came back
with the objection that this was mo-
| tion when it should be a resolution.
Emmeluth changed his motion to the
| form of a resolution, and offered II
again saying "Mr. Speaker l admire
the time killing tactics of members OF
| the House"
To this Makekau replied, "I do moi
want to see the honorable member mis-
lead this house from it's regular order

chair appointed Dickey and Makekau
as the additional members of the com
