OF Trouble.

4 The House again accomplished moth
ing beyond a few personal exchanges
lbetween the members. The first mem
Der to take up the foils was Makainai,
who defended the Accounts Commit
tee.
Mr.. Enmeluth,'' said he, asked me
on Saturday for a complete report of
the House expenditures. l have not
ha6 the necessary time to write out a
report, so must ask your leave to pre-
sent verbal one. Mr.. Emmeluth has
several times, during both this and the
late regular session, objected to the ex-
| travagant expenditures of the House.
| Now, as a matter of course, the Print
ling Committee heads the list with the
Moiokai Committee expenses second,
| but third, and hundreds of dollars
ahead Of the remaining committees,
with an expenditure of 81 600, comes Mr..
Emmeluth's own Committee on FL
nance. 1t has not been my fault if
prices have been foolishly paid by the
House Ny business is to prove war
rants and bills, that is all and some of
the largest bills which We have APP
proved came from Mr.. Emmeluth's
committee
Il am willing said Emmeluth, that
every item on the bill of the Finance
Committee be inspected I am not
ashamed of it. Every bill contracted
by US is legitimate. but what | do claim
I, is the fact that some bills paid We're
not legitimate, and it is the right of
the House to know about the current
expenses of the session
Representing the Finance Commit
tee, Emmeluth then offered a portion OF
the revised salary pay roll, but the re-
port was declared 70 be out of order by
the chair, upon Robertson's suggestion
that Emmeiuth had overstepped the
bounds laid down for them in attempt
ing to fix the salaries of the judicial
portion of the Territorial Government
Kaniho then introduced the following
resolution, asking for its adoption in
the name of suffering humanity;
Whereas, it is a common rumor in
this city in reference to the treatment
of sick people in the Victoria Hospital,
that they are housed in low, filthy
apartments, and one is thereby made
TO suffer more than necessary; there
fore be it
Resolved, that committee Of five
members be appointed from this House
to go and investigate the condition OF
the Victoria Hospital and report 10 this
House. H NJ KANlHO.
Makekau wanted to know you
know" and said that he had never
heard of the place.
Emmeluth stated that the hospital
was under the direction of certain
members of the Anglican Church, and
in
the broadcast sense of the word. No
one went there unwillingly. and no one
was ever forced foreman there. The
Victoria Hospital was primarily for the
use of consumptives, and has never re-
ceived patients from the Queens Hos
pital, as has been stated If the House
wishes to take an active interest in this
matter let it devote funds for the epec-
ton of a consumptive hospital, and
not waste time in criticising private
institution that is supported by the in
dividual charities of those who are on
Ily able to contribute limited amount
The resolution was then tabled
Monsarrat then came forward with a
resolution that created a tempest in
teapot. a
II Resolved, that this House adjourn
in order to give. the remaining HelI
hers time in which to file their appli/
Lotions to practice law.

Emmeluth claimed that the House
had no right to ridicule or insult any
branch of the Government.
| Mahoe also claimed that ii was our
| of order, to which Monsarrat retorteo
that Mahoe's petition to repeal the
Federal quarantine law was equally out
of order.
| Emmeluth then moved that the reso-
luton be rejected, as there was already
enough discord between the three
branches of the Government without
adding present fuel to the iil-feehng'
and Haaheo wanted to get rid OF II py
throwing ii out of the window
Bad feeling was running high, ana
Monsarrat discreetly withdrew his res
lolution, whereupon, through the quiet
procedure of Akina, the House ADJOURN
ed until today.
