Several House bills were read and
referred to committees and under sus-
pension of the rules Senator White was
allowed to make report on Senate bill
81, entitled, AN act to regulate fees of
witnesses and jurors" The report rec
ommends the passage of the bill and
was laid on the table to be considered
with the bill.
Senator Crabbe's bill on the wearing
of the Grand Army badge unlawfully
was then taken up and to the surprise
of all Senator White was the eloquent
supporter of the bill. White used
Iscathing terms against buns and boot
blacks from Chicago, New York and
Philadelphia coming here with a stolen

free lunches and dinners at the hotels
at the expense of "us' kamaainas
Billy was really warm when he spoke
on the subject and Senator Baldwin
looked as if he would like some data
las to when "us'' kamaainas gave
lunches and dinners at the hotels. Ned
Macfarlane was not in the audience.
The button" bill will pass all right
and Crabbe has scored a political vic
! tory.

Senators The bin had been passed by
the Senate after having been passed by
