The House OF Representatives began
asking questions when the Senate com,
munication reached the lower body
shortly after the converting OF the
morning session yesterday IL reads
as follows:
By direction OF the Senate. here
with return House bin No. WITH al,
vice that the amendments of the SEN
ate thereto having received the afnr-
NATIVE vote OF majority of q quorum
Of your honorable body. the Senate re-
CARDS such amendments as having
been duly concarred in under the pro
visions of the Organic Act and more
particularly section % thereof
A number of representatives did not
take very kindly to the eommunica-
ton. Even Interpreter John Wise be
came somewhat wrathy over the tone
and declared that he would resign if
there was not enough money appro-
priated 10 carry out the s1O0. 900 leg
islature TO its finish.
Some members declared that il was
only the courts that could interpret
the acts of the House and il was an
unwarrantable piece of arrogance for
the Senate TO send such a communica-
ton, especially as they had not first
submitted the point to the Attorney
General for his opinion.
Emmeluth said that he was not op-
posed to $4,000 If it were needed. but
he had not been able to find out that
il was needed He fully agreed
with Mr.. Dickey as TO the insolenee of
the Senate and moved that the Senate
be given back their communication
and asked for a conference or a state
ment of where the extra $4,000 was
needed. He stated that he had sent
a note TO Mr.. Crabbe, chairman of
the Senate Committee on Accounts.
and asked him where the $4,000 came
il and Crabbe was not able to tell him.
saying that the secretary had not yet
made up the figures He declared that
the House was entitled to know what
was proposed to be done with the mon
ey. and until that time he would not
vote for the $50 ,000
Aylett then moved that the House
recede from its inconvenience in the
Senate amendment. AS the passage of
this motion would pass the bill finally.

The House was in session a little
over an hour yesterday afternoon and
the only thing it did was to order the
decision" of the Senate on the action
of the House returned with the state
ment that it was none of the Senate's
business. OF course the communica-
ton will be worded very diplomatical-
". but that is what it amounts to.
The debate was along the same lines
as during the morning, but the speak
ers were new. Beckley led in a long
attack on the Senate and according
to the Maui statesman the degeneracy
OF the National Senate is as nothing
when compared with the low ebb TO
which the Hawaiian Senate has drop
ped. He said that it was none of the
Senate's business to pass appropria-
ton bills anyway, that they should
have left that TO the House and merely
amended the bills the House sent up
He said they were not the representa-
tiyes of the people as much as the
House and it was the business of the
Senate TO merely act as a conserva-
tive check on the House. Instead of
that they had got so used to swelling
appropriations that they thought they
were the whole thing and their swelled
heads had made them attempt to die
tate to the House.
Makekau got up and tried again to
make the point that the Organic Act
did not mean what il said and that
.'finaf' passage meant passage on third
reading and the actions on amend
ments had nothing TO do with the
case. ira Ia Beckley replied that no
body that could not define the word
final could hope TO explain the section
He then pulled down his dusty Kane
hameha school copy OF Cicero's ora
tons aud explained that final came
from the Latin -fnisT which meant
nau los~ That bill was not pau
loa until 1t had been signed bv the
governor or passed over his veto and
there was no getting around It. This
was too much for the man from Ha-
nskua ard he subsidized and the House
Suickly decided that the communiea-
sinr must go back
u the Senate gets on its senator
ial dignity on that account. there may
be deadlock. but il is likely thai 3
viii not again attempt to dictate to
the Honse The House meets again
this morning at the usual hour.
