Favor Annexation to California.

When the House opened this morning
Representative Makekau moved to take
up the salaries bill, which had already
passed final reading. and compare It
with the copies in the hands of men,
bers for the correction of errors. The
chaiT was unable to see now a pill after
having passed third reading and been
rcterfed to the Senate, could be recon
stdered. The only place it could be
corrected was in conference. Makekau
could see little better. however, and
claimed that a bill could be recalled at
any stage Mr.. Beckley urged that
consideration of this matter be deferred
until bills and 4 We're gotten out of
the way This was accepted by the
chair aud House.
House Bill 4, appropriating 5000 for
expenses of the Legislature, came up
for final reading. In answer to Mr..
Emmeluth, Makekau stated that the
amount asked for covered all the back
bills of the Legislature, including the
expense of printing the journal Beck
ley moved to inquire more specifically
of the Senate as to it's expenses. 1t
might be that the Senate would get to
the treasury first, snatch up $4,000 for
its expenses and leave only $1,000 for
the House This motion failed.
Prendergast the financier. thought
$4,000 would not be enough He had
printing and other bills in his pocket
from the regular session. The journal
was costing 100000
Representative Hoogs warmly assail-
ed this waste of funds for a journal
He said that nobody read the rot and
he would prefer see the money poured
into the sea.
The bill passed by vote of 16 to 10.
j. w. Keliikoa introduced the follow
ing sumner .-
Resolved by the House of Represen-
tatives, and concurred by the Senate
that it is the sense of the Legislature of
the Territory of Hawaii, that the an
nexation of the Territory of Hawaii to
the State of California is contrary to
the rights of the citizens and residents
of Hawaii
And it is further resolved, that one
copy of this concurrent resolution may
be transmitted to the President of the
United States, one copy to the President
of the Senate, one copy to the Speaker
of the House of Representatives and
one copy to the delegate of the Terri
tory of Hawaii"
Emmeluth: Good, Keiikoa. The
only thing you've yet done"

Beckley moved to read it again
Read it again; read it ten times" was

Then matters took serious turn.
Dickey opposed the resolution. No
BODY had been talking of annexation tC
California but David Starr Jordan and
certain newspapers. Then Beckley got
up He began TRADE against the
newspapers, charging that they We're
in conspiracy to annex the Islands tG
California. The newspapers did not
represent the people at all. but their ut
terances would deceive the people of
the mainland into the belief that the
Islands desired this annexation. Con-
tinuing at great length, during which
he emitted more warm atmosphere re-
garding newspapers and capitalists,
Beckley warned the Home Rulers that

victs In the cane fields.
Kumulae endorsed the resolution. In
silvery tones he told of how city news
papers were advocating annexation to
California. He saw breakers ahead
we would have no Legislature and no
governor. 1t was a serious matter; six
Senators We're already pledged to vote
for it.
Mr.. Emmeluth objected to annexation.
to California and favored the resolu-
ton. The worst thing he saw in the
proposal was that the educational quail
would be removed and the Porto Ricans
would be able to vote
Dickey did not wish to be understood
as faVoring annexation to California
He was violently opposed to it. Such
annexation would mean an increase
or taxes and the introduction of the
slimiest kind of politics in the islands
He opposed the resolution on the
ground that he regarded hysterical.
There was no danger of annexation to
California. Before it could come about
at any rate, II would be voted on in that
state and here as well.
Prendergast read from a newspaper
in which 1t was stated that people had
reached the conclusion that the ONLY
way to get rid of Dole was to Join
hands with California. The honorable
gentleman wished to say. for the Home
Rule party, that that statement was
lie. Nobody wanted annexation.
Robertson supported Dickey He
did not believe a bakers dozen of peo-
pie In the Islands would support an
nexation to California. The whole
thing was a newspaper yarn and he
thought II unbecoming in the House
to pay so much attention.
Emmeluth said that in addition to
newspaper statements he had it from
the best sources that a movement for
the annexation of the Islands to Cali
fornia was now well under way.
Makekau stated that people were
now on the way to California to work
for this thing. One man, to whom
members of the Legislature had looked
for advice in the past, was now near
ing San Francisco for the purpose Of
encouraging this annexation idea. CHe
referred to Judge A. 5. Humphreys.
Paele saw no reason for passing the
resolution. Hawaii had a delegate in
Congress and "A few friends over there

tory before she became wrecked on the
Farrellones.
Dickey's motion to table the resou-
tion was lost by a vote Of 20 to Z,
