same shall be determined under the
provisions Of House bill 4.
Makekau was strongly in favor of
adopting the first paragraph of the
motion, but objected to the second. The
House was just considering bill 1. 1t
e.
mittee to bring In new bill.
Emmeluth aroee to reply that on
January 20. 1900, the fire in Chinatown
took place and the people who incurred
losses are still waiting for compensa-
ton. They will wait until kingdom
comes II bill 4 Is passed. He was sur
prlsed at Makekau getting upon the
door of the House and make such
ridiculous statement. He. himself
would not vote for the bill before
had investigated the fire
claims and he did not think others
Tuesday, hakekau was on the floor
on the rich and poor" ar
guments and he wondered why at the
present time he should oppose himself
a day afterward. He said Makekau
had said he was In favor OF the COM
mittee on fire claims. one OF whom
should be appointed by the Governor.
Makekau arose and said he hadn't said
the things attributed to him by EN-
neluth. He took back that part of his
statement, but he was satisfied that
Governor Dole. who showed so little
backbone at the time OF the first fire
claims commission, should have a
light to appoint anyone on that com
nlttre. Makekau then angIily jumped
% his feet and askeI that Emmeluth
De ruled out OF order.
Fmmeluth continued. He did not
are by what means the result was
'rought but he refused to vote on bill
