IA Representatives of the
" Territorial Legislature
arrived on the Inter-
Island wharf shortly
before the time set for the sailing OF
the steamer w. G.. Hall for Molokai
last night they were confronted by two
big native policemen at the foot of the
gangway, who barred their passage to
the deck of the steamship.
Speaker Akina started to go on the
vessel. He was anxious to get on the
boat that he might deposit his baggage
in his cabin. He was stopped at the
foot of the gangway, however, and told
that he would not be allowed on board.
There were about twenty Representa-
tives and Senators gathered around the
gangway by this time and they receiv-
ed this news with anything but good
lgrace. What was the reason that they
were not allowed upon the vessel? Who
was responsible for this disgraceful
state of affairs and what did the two
"
ladmittance to the w. G. Hall?
The large and stern guardians of the
peace explained that they had received
orders from Representative. William
Hoogs of the transportation committee
to the effect that no one be allowed on
the boat until further orders. Where
upon the twenty Representatives and
Senators were very much insulted and
said that they did not care whether
they went to Molokai or not and forth
with called many hacks and hurried
back to their various homes.
A little while after this High Sheriff
Brown came hurrying down to the
wharf William HoogS and FREDERICK
lBeckley had arrived on the scene few
moments before the Sheriff MADE MS
appearance. The Sheriff Immediately
demanded of the policemen the reason
of their keeping people off the boat.
They told him that William Hoogs had
ordered that no one be allowed on the
vessel. Then the Sheriff directed his
conversation to William Hoogs and
wanted to know why it was that he had
same time telling the police that they
ought not to have taken any ORDERS eA-
icept from himself
There was considerable conversation
on the subject and the upshot of the
matter was that everybody and any
bodv was allowed on the vessel and the
officers were stationed at the gate OF
the wharf to keep loafers and hacks
off.
Quite a crowd gathered around the
Sheriff. William Hoogs and Frederick
lBeckley while the matter was being
discussed. -.
Frederick BeckIey, after the Sheriff
had finished talking to William Hoogs.
had a long argument with Mr.. Hoogs,
saving that the lawmakers had been
verv much insulted by the policemen
and that they felt so badly over the
matter that they had all gone to their
homes.
r. seems that the Sheriff had sent
word to the police station that two po-
llicemen were to be sent down to the
wharf to maintain order. William
Hoogs went into the police station
minnie or so afterwards and said that
Il he wanted two policemen at the gang
way to see that no one was allowed on
the vessel The two officers were sent
| to the wharf and proceeded to carry
ont the orders of William Hoogs.
Ten o'clock arrived and no law-mak-
ers were on hand to go out on the w. U.

led all over town, containing messen-
gers charged with the work of hustling
the offended statesmen out Of bed and
lconyincing them that no offense was
intended and getting them down to the
wharf and aboard the vessel.
Kalauokalani was the last Of the law
makers to be found and it was almost
midnight when he got aboard OF the
Hall and she footed her last whistle and
got away for Molokai. There was one
of the Representatives who did not go.
He could not be found anywhere.
one of the funny incidents of the po-
lice barricade at the gangway was
when G. B. Reynolds, the man who
knows more about the settlement and
