ANGRY WORDS IN SENATE AND

as it scratched uncertainty across the
page of a document could be heard,
and there was everything to indicate
that something would pop" The
reading of the journal by the clerk did
not attract much attention. Upon mo-
ton of Dickey the minutes of the pre-
ceding day were approved as read.
F. w. Beckley, chairman of the COM
mittee on public health, read a report
from his committee against the petition
of the fifty-three residents of Waia-
Ilua who asked that the United States
quarantine regulations, as far as they
concerned Hawaii, be repealed as in
troduced by Mahoe. 1t was moved that
the report be accepted and adopted
Mahoe jumped to his feet with a request
that the matter be reconsidered, which
was done. He also asked that the
matter be referred to the committee
on printing and be taken up as the or
der of the day today.
Paele moved the report be referred to
the committee on Judiciary as it had a
few law points to be decided.
Dickey said the matter was a very
ridiculous proposition. The Legislature
had no right to attempt to repeal the
United States laws. He moved that
the report of the committee be adopted.
Gilfillan said there certainly were law
points to be decided, inasmuch as there
were no laws made in the year 1869,
which date appeared in the bill, and it
certainly was very ridiculous to treat
upon the matter at all. Yes, he con-
sidered the judiciary committee would
have it's hands full when it came to
deciding the points of law involved.
He challenged the Waialua member to
offer anything in rebuttal of his state
ment.
The speaker put the motion to have
the bill referred to the judiciary COM
mittee The motion was lost.
Robertson moved the petition and re-
port be made the order of the day to-
day and received vociferous chorus
of kokuas from Mahoe and Paele. He
objected to a discussion of the merits
before il was properly discussed He
would vote against the summary dis
missal of any matter before it was
discussed He would vote against the
bill, anyhow, but that was no reason
why it should be thrown out without
proper discussion of it's merits. Upon
vote the bill will become today's or
der of business.
The committees report was as fol-
lows
Your committee on public
health, to whom was referred
the petition signed by fifty-three
residents and voters of the Sec
, ond precinct Fifth representa-
tive district, and introduced by
Representative S. K. Mahoe,
February IS, 1901, beg leave to
report as follows: The prayer
of the petition is beyond the au
thority of this Territorial Leg
islature to grant and that the
petitioners be denied and the pc
tition rejected

Beckley, J. Ewaliko, A. F. Gilfilan and
