THIS MORNINGS SESSION VERY
LIVELY.
Concluded With Hot Tiffs and Motion
to Adjourp Sine Dle-Message From
the Acting Governor

When the Senate got under way this
morning Senator Achi moved TO discard
all of the minutes of proceedings after
the time President Kaiue left the chair
and the chamber yesterday afternoon
for the reason that there was not a
quorum present. The question i'm sight
was the attitude of members who alb
Sented themselves yesterday, the SER
geant-at-arms having reported-per-
haps enormously, that he had seen all
OF the absent members and that all
had refused to return.
All of the Republicans denied that
they had been approached by the SER
geant-at-arms.
Cecil Brown made a long speech,
showing that a regular adjournment
was taken yesterday, the President
having cast the deciding vote. At this
kanuha, kalauokalani and DIR. Russell
sprang to the floor and in chorus of
English and native declared that the
vote for adjournment was questioned,
and that the President walked away
without recognizing the "Kanalua" of
members.
At this point Senator White entered
the chamber and demanded the privil-
ege of hearing the Objectionable min
utes. They were re-read. Carter NOV
ed to strike out. Carried by a vote of
Z to s, President Kaiue casting the de-
Gliding vote; John r. Brown not voting;
Baldwin absent. The part of the min
utes up to regular adjournment then
passed.
Acting Governor Cooper submitted a
message together with a long list of
unpaid bills.
The message was preferred to the
public expenditures committee.

| DR.. Russell rose to what he called a
| personal privilege and began to read
| a resolution condemning the President
| of the Senate in his action of yester-
| day. Senator Carter arose immediate
! ly and protested that a resolution did
not come under the question of privil-
! ege. Russell replied that he had the
! floor. Carter replied that he might have
the floor and the desk too but he was
wholly out of order. Kanuha told DIR.
Russell to suspend the rules in order
that he might read his resolution. Ce-
ell Brown here took the floor and told
! Russell to go back to Hilo. Russell red
dened in the face and said he would do
/ so when the Senate had adjourned and
not before. Brown kept on speaking
! showing that resolutions came under
the head of resolutions and no where
else. Carter said the Senate might ad-
| journ sine die. No work could be done
and there was no use wasting time
/ fiddling. Achi seconded the motion.
! Carter then moved to adjourn.
The motion to adjourn was then put;
vote against and for. President
Kaiue arose i'm his chair and declared
the Senate adjourned to Monday at 10
| o'clock.
