SCISSOR. to resign from his present of.
fetal position as tax assessor of the
Territory of Hawaii. for misconduct
in office.
DAVID KANUHA,
Senator of the 3rd District"
1t took an hour and three quarters to
dispose Of this resolution. Nearly
every Senator in the room had a fling
OF FIVE or ten minutes at the resolu-
ton and then Mr.. Kalauokalani put
finish to the whole thing by coming out
squarely against the resolution which
was Immediately killed.
Mr.. Carter moved to proceed to the
consideration Of the appointments Of
the Governor to the Fire Claims Com.
mission In secret session. Mr.. Crabbe
called for an open session. Mr.. Carter
accepted the amendment and Mr.. Ka.
,auokalani seconded 1t. Carried.
The names Of +. W. Macfarlane. A.
n. Kepoikai. A. c. Lovekin and JOS
cph G. Pratt went through without
question but. when II came to a con-
sideratlon OF the name of Lorrln An
drews. there was a vigorous kick from
the Independent side Of the house.
Mr.. Kalauokalani said that the Gov
ernor had acted most arbitrarily in his
choice OF commissioners. He had ap.
pointed four white men and one native
md the native was Republican. The
Home Rule side had been completely
Ignored and there was only one native
on the Commission. Such an action
was an insult. Mr.. White then arose
and proposed the name of F. J. Tesla
which Immediately met with favor and
was adopted by the Senate. Mr.. Bald
win voting with the Independents. A
committee consisting CT Messrs. Bald
win. Kalauokalani and Carter was
named by the chair to notify the Gov
ernor OF the choice OF the Senate and
recess Of fifteen minutes was taken.
On reconvening. Mr.. Kaohi offered
resolution relating to the payment Of
all bills incurred by the Senate. This
had very short life.
At this point Rule 70 OF the Senate
was suspended and smoking began.
Mr.. Achi was the only one who raised
dissenting voice. Hardly had this
business been disposed Of when the
chair announced the following message
from the Governor:
ITO the senate of the Territory Of
Hawaii
81 hereby nominate Mr. +. ]. Tesla
as a member Of the commission Of
five. authorized to be nominated by
the Governor by an Act entitled "An
Act to provide for the ascertainment
and payment of all claims which may
be made by persons whose property
was destroyed by fire in the years A.
ID. 1899 and 1900 under orders of the
Board of Health.
SANFORD b. DOLE.
Executive Chamber, April 30th.
1901"
Mr.. Carter wanted to joke a bit so
he moved that the Senate refuse to
confirm the name of Mr.. Tesla. This
was seconded but not hand was lifted
against the appointment.
A communication from the Secretary
Of the Territory announced the signing
6y the Governor of the following bills"
An Act to define the Territorial Seal
An Act to repeal certain obsolete
laws.
An Act to amend Section 30 Of Chap.
ter LVII Of the Sessions Laws Of 1892.

Mr.. Kanuha then introduced the fol-
lowing resolution providing for a
Transportation Commissioner:
BE 1t resolved by the Senate and
the House OF Representatives of the
Territory of Hawaii concurring:
Whereas, the Senate bill entitled.
An Act to create the Office Of Trans.
portation Commission. provides that
until the first general election the
Transportation Commission be elected
by the Legislature.
THAT T. J. Ryan is hereby elected
to fill the said Office"
The resolution was finally laid on
the table and the Senate took another
recess at the call of the chair.
On reconvening, Mr.. Kanuha intro
duced resolution to the effect that
Charles Wilcox be paid $500 extra for
extra time on the work of the Board
of Health during the plague epidemic.
On second thought. Mr.. Kanuha with
drew his resolution. stating that the
proper time to Introduce It was during
The consideration of the Appropriation
bill. r...
On motion OF Mr.. White, the appoint
ments OF Governor Dole on the Board
Of Health were again taken up for con-
sideration. The appointment OF DR..
