, report under consideration. He with
drew his own motion, preferring that
of Dickey.
The speaker put Dickeys motion to
the House, which was lost. Upon mo-
ton the report of the committee was
adopted.
Dickey moved to amend bill by
adding in the section an appropriation
of $1,000 for repairing the roads on
Molokai
Makekau objected to the offering of
amendments.
I Dickey, the watch dog of the rules, "
wanted his amendment passed, and
persisted that his view was correct
/ Robertson said it was perfectly prop
er for the House to adopt other amend
ments of its own, outside of those rec
Commended by the committee.
Paele was in accord with Dickey to
| insert the 81, 900 item for Molokai, but
objected to the Makawao proposition.
Makekau thought Dickey was mis-
| taken in his Interpretation Of the rules,
and desired Dickey to explain why he
could offer amendments after the COM
mittee's report had been accepted by
{ the House, and casting aside amend
/ ments which he had offered TO the re
port.
Before Dickey could answer Puuki
took the floor and agreed with Make
kau.
Haaheo compared the proceedings to
a squid, which goes ahead. and the
crawfish, which goes backward The
proper time to offer amendments was
before the committee report was adopt
ed, and not afterwards.
Mahoe saw nothing Alarming in the
report or the bill, which should have
brought out such a discussion. The
ship of the House had sailed smoothly
until it ran upon tangIe or amend
ments.
Dickey asked for a ruling on the
last part of section l, of rule 81. The
chair based its opinion upon the sec
lond clause, when Dickey again arose,
saying that after a report was adopt
ed, if not ordered typewriter, should
be placed in the order of business for
future consideration Makekau inter
preted future consideration to mean
when it came up for its next, or third
reading, and not before.
Prendergast accused Dickey or tenn
porizing merely to get the Makawao
appropriation of $4,000. AS to the rules
they were printed in English, and
Dickey ought to be able to read them
The speaker then delved into the re-
cesses of Cushing's Manual. He quot
ed from the House of Representatives
on bills coming before the House be-
fore amendment, and ruled the amend
ment of Dickey out of order He could
offer his amendment when the bill
came up for its third reading.
The motion of Robertson that the bill
pass it's second reading, prevailed. The
bill was ordered typewriter.
Beckley, for the committee on pub
lie health, offered its report on House
Bill 9, relating to vaccination, as fol-
| lows:

whom was referred House Bill 8, re-
ating to vaccination, beg leave 70 re-
