When the Senate opened this morning
DR.. Russell moved for night sessions, to
begin at Z p. m.
Mr.. Baldwin did not see the necessity
for this. Each day the Senate usually
finished it's work by four O'Clock and
there was no need for meeting again at
night. The thing for the Senate to do
was to allow all the time possible for
committee work,
Cecil Brown supported Mr.. Baldwin.
In his talk he made one statement of
particular importance. 1t was that the
Governor would not extend the present
session. The only hope for time was
the calling of a special session.
DR.. Russe's resolution was defeated.
House Bill "A, school libraries, and
Senate 20, to reorganize the judiciary
Department. were made the order of
the day for Monday.
Just here Senator White made one of
his characteristic bluffs. 1t was to
get report on Bill "A, relating to ava.
White knew he had nothing to do with

would be soon forthcoming.

bill will pass without opposition in the
Senate.
The Senate at this point took up the
bill making appropriations for depart
mental expenses. The item appropri-
ating 5000 for Mrs. Emma Barnard was
supported by Cecil Brown. Mr.. Kanu-
ha thought all of the items in the bill
should be investigated before being

100000 had been wasted in the past
few years on false benefits. His idea
was that the whole bill should go tc
a committee.
Cecil Brown and Achi guffawed al
this suggestion. They said that nC
single committee could possibly handle
the bill.
Mr.. Kalauokalani moved to defer the
bill until Wednesday. Kanuha sup.

whatever to do with the present one
