II were late at the opening of the
l. House of Representatives, though
Emmeluth came in time to hear
the prayer After the roll cali the min
utes were read in English and Ha-
waiian.
Robertson made a slight change in
the minutes as read.
William MoSSman stated his inten-
ton to introduce a bill to defray the
expenses of the present session. He
moved that the rules be suspended and
Robertson objected, saying that the
giving notice of intentions was not the
order then. There was the usual argu-
nent over rules with much quoting of
the procedure regulations and consid-
cradle display of ignorance of parlia-
mentary usage by the Hawaiian Repre-
sentatives. Mossman finally withdrew
his statement of intentions under pres
sure from Robertson.
Mr. Robertson then gave notice OF
his intention to introduce the follow
ing bill: AN act relating to the Jurls-
diction of Circuit Judges at chambers
in matters concerning the relation or
guardian and wards, and amending sec
ton 1867 of the Civil Code and section
3S of chapter 81 of the Session Laws OF

| Mr.. Mossman, under suspension OF

penses OF the Legislature. The bill APP
propriates $4,000.
Mossman then restated his intention
to bring in a bill to defray the sessions
expenses, and the rules having been
lsuspended he read the bill in full as
follows:
! Section /. There shall be and hereby
lis appropriated the sum of S45, 900 from

Whereas, pending receipt of the
report of the committee it would be
impolitic and improper to have any
more person or persons sent there

therefore, be it
Resolved, That a special commit
tee of nine members of this House
be appointed to visit the settlement
at an early opportunity and report
as to the actual conditions there
found, and also recommendations
that they may deem necessary; and
be it further
Resolved That the Board OF
Health. through its president, be re-
or persons that may properly come
under existing laws to said settle
ment until said special committee
shall have reported to this House
and action taken thereon.
Speaker Akina asked for "a vote on
the Molokai resolution. Emmeluth
moved that the committee on public
health be included in the Molokai COM
mittee.
Gilfillan wanted Il joint committee of
House and Senate and said it would
cost no more for all tire members to go.
The speaker said the House must
choose its own committees and let the
Senate take care of itself. A call for a
reading of the resolution was made and
Secretary Meheula read it in English.
GfIfllan amended the resolution to
include all the Representatives.
Makekau urged that a committee OF
three only be sent to Molokai, as if nine
or all went it would mean a suspension
of the Legislature.
Beckley said his idea in having the
committee consist of nine was to have
all the Islands represented. He really
favored having the entire House go. He
said there was need for an investiga-
ton. Under the Organic Act all men
are free and equal" said Beckley.
There are 500 persons at the leper set
Element on Molokai. They have been
granted the right of suffrage. They
have the right to justice and true rep
resentation. It is only proper that the
House of Representatives should see all
these people and hear their claims AS
a matter of fact the entire House
should go. IT is the first time the lep-
ers have had a voice in the national
legislation. But to save time I favor
a committee of nine only, though the
whole House is not barred from going
also. The matter of public health Is
one of the most important for our con
sideration and We should know just
how things are at Molokai Former
Legislatures have tried to ameliorate
conditions Of those unfortunates. The
public press has said that the lepers
have not been supplied with the proper
food. The Board of Health has tried tc
do its best. But you can understand
