| Robertson, as lntroducer of the rcsolu-
/ ton, showed the count of days, less Sun
| days, quoting the Organic Acts provis-
| Ton on that point. He showed what
would occur II days on which the Houses
did not meet were not to be counted In
Il
ly every other day, while a House kept
on in the usual way. The House would
| reach the sixtieth day when the Senate
was only at day number thirty, and the
Senate would exist alone and useless for
n month.
On the vote the following favored de-
claring today the sixtieth day OF the ses-
sion: Aylett. Dickey, EwalilSo, Gillian.
Hoogs keild. Kekaula, Kelikoa, Ku-
malae, Makekau Monsarrat, Nailma,
Robertson Wilcox. Those voting for the
fifty-seventh day proposition were Ahu-
ILL., Emmeluth Kaniho, Kawaihoa, Ma
hoe, Makainai, Mossman, Paele, Prem
dergast and Puuld.
The record of the proceedings that took
place Monday night after Beckley declar-
ed the House adjourned, were ordered
stricken from the minutes, Robertson
contendinE that the members who were
absent from duty had no right to COM
plain of what had been done by those
present and ready to do their duty by
their constituents, adding that the alb
sentees should be excluded from voting
on the measure, as they had no personal
knowledge of what they We're voting
about.
A bill relating to the compensation of
pilots came down from the Senate and
passed first reading, despite Dckey's OBJ
jections on the score of useless expense
for printing.
A Senate bill licensing vendors of ami
mails was unanimously rejected on first
reading.
The Senate holidays resolution was
referred to the Judiciary Committee. The
holidays named were January l, Febru-
airy %. June II and IA. July 4, November
16, December 25 and Labor Day.
A general clearing up was INDUCED In
during the noon recess, the members
nj he of hn
had accumulated during the session.
Some may be framed, others kept for
admiration or for jest. Nothing now re-
mains in sight on the desk but the ink
stands and mucilage bottles. In every
case the penholders are missing.
Concurrent resolution 8 was by the ac-
ton of the judiciary Committee indef-
nitely postponed, the committee thinking
that the additional judgeship already
provided for would meet the exigencies
of the case.
Senate bill 81, relating to petroleum,
was passed by third reading.
Senate bill relating to the furnishing
of receivers of stolen goods was passed.
Senate bill relating to the redemption
Of property held in adverse possession
within five years, was taken up. Beau
Brummel Mossman objected to the bill,
making the startling and interesting an
nouncement that bills passed by this
House relating to civil matters would be
retroactive over bills previously intro
duced.
Robertson pointed out Mossman's err
ror, where that member had read the
25-year limit as twenty years. Robertson
agreed that the eminent jurist from the
Fifth District (Mossman) was correct in
his idea from the 20-year standpoint,
whereby, in the previous state, according
to the Statute of Limitations, there was
period of five years to be bridged over.
Robertson added that he was surprised
that the Senate should have passed a
bill making the period of limitation
twenty-five years, when ten and in some
cases five years is the time allowed by
the Legislatures of most of the States.
Emmeluth, during the speech, was
stealing, with catlike tread between the
Speaker and his desk, finally disappear
ing through the doorway with Delegate
Wilcox
Makekau said that the bill was intro
duced to prevent the plantations from
taking land away from the poor native.
Mossman then repeated his previous
speech in the pride of being addressed as
an eminent jurist.
The bin was indefinitely postponed on
motion of Robertson.
Senate bill 30, providing for the Lahai-
naluna Seminary, Hawaii, was discuss
ed Emmeluth considered the terms of
the trustees should be reduced to two
and four years, moving that his amend
ment be adopted.
Makekau charged Emmeluth with at
tempting to kill the bill by introducing
an amendment at the last moment. EN-
meluth denied the allegation.
The amendment was lost amid sarcas-
tic comments of make loa."
The measure passed with a vote of
2i-1, Emmeluth voting in It's favor
Senate bill n, relating to the adulter-
alton of food, was read. Emmeluth dis
covering Star news caption entitled
Passing of the Slmians," was deeply
agltated and took the paper to Beckley
The sergeant-at-arms was sent to scour
the corridors for absentees to vote on
the measure and the bin passed Its third
reading.
Senate bill 81. providing for the build
ing of a school and conservatory of mu-
sic at Hilo sent the sergeant once more
