he had any other committees and, upon
being answered in the negative. moved
the insertion OF committee on milk
and other foodstuffs. Mr.. Carter NOV
ed to amend to read milk and adul-
terated foods
Mr.. White remarked that he believed
this committee to have been proposed
very much In the same manner as a
Joker is placed in a pack Of cards.
Mr.. Carter answered the members,
that he was not joking and that the
committee should be named in the
rules. Mr.. Achi also spoke in favor OF
the committee. Many children were
dying from the use of adulterated milk.
The motion as amended by Mr.. Carter
was carried.
Republic ans Impa tient.
The Senate got as far as Rule "a
when there was a show of impotence
by the Republican members which soon
took the form of words. Mr.. Cecil
Brown was the first to start the ball
rolling and the words used were as fol-
lows: II move that the rules be re-
ferred back to Senator White. Let him
prepare a set Of rules and bring them
into the Senate. His side would pass
them"
Mr.. Carter said 1t seemed very much
as II the members started out in good
humor in the morning and then. at
about the same hour in the afternoon.
there came a standstill. The proceed
ings should be carried on In better
manner than at the present II the Sem
ate did net wish to be the laughing
stock Of the whole population.
| Mr.. Carter then moved that the re-
port of the committee be accepted, the
committee discharged and q new COM
mittee appointed. AS the maker of the
motion, he would decline the honor OF
serving on the committee. He would
ask that the member from Lahaina he
the chairman OF the committee. There
was a great stack of typewriter mat
ter on his desk. These were probably
more amendments. 81 stand for adj

seems very much as IL these rules con-
stitute an insurmountable obstacle
We seem to be unable to get over 1t.
am willing to adopt temporarily the
rules OF 1898 so that we may be enabled
to do some work, or to refer the whole
; thing back to another committee"
Mr.. Achi seconded the motion OF Mr.
Carter saying that, II the amendment
and discussions continued. the Senat
would have no rules for fortnigh
yet. Only twenty-four rules had so fl
been passed. There were still owe
g seventy to he considered.
: Senator J. T. Brown said that he wa
: in favor Of going ahead. The speaker
: had anticipated the introduction O
y many more amendments when. as
matter OF fact. there were only yer,
n few more. He could see no use in re
J. ferring the rules back to another com
= mittee.
n There was more discussion and tn
| motion to refer the rules back to an
other committee was lost. On motion
n the rules were again taken up. TIL
: atmosphere had been cleared by the re
= cent storm and things went alon
;. smoothly and rapidly.
r. Regulating the Speech.
i" When 1t came to the matter Of tn
! regulation Of the speech OF the mem
u bers In the Senate. Senator White NOV
$ ed to insert nor more than ten min
r. utes at each time" after the words IN
member shall speak twice on the sam
! subject. Mr.. Cecil Brown said he hor
d ed this amendment would rot pas,
r. The time Of speaking In any particula
Is case could be regulated by resolution
J. There were matters coming up In III
y Senate that members would like
: speak more than twenty minutes oil
It was hardly right in matters Of In
'e portance to limit any member to twer
t. ty minutes To insert such an amend
ment in the rules would be to simpl
II carry out a gag law.
