Without nominations from the Gov
ernor to enable then to fill all the
vacant places in the government, the
senate finds itself compelled to stay
another day, and to work for the in ..
tervening time as well. Two sessions
of the body were held yesterday, three
reports being received and filed. and
then adjournment until this morning
was the order.
The afternoon session OF the senate
was the shortest on record, for Presi-
dent Crabbe had not more than called
the body to order when Senator Bald
win was on mis- feet and moving for
adjournment. The second came from
the Home Rule side, and there was no
objection from any member to this
course, so the days work was closed.
The mornings session was a busy
one, though there was no business OF
extreme importance, the three reports
received being in relation to depart
ments which were not under scrutiny
because OF recommendation for chang
es in the personnel The first one sub
mitted was that of the Committee on
Public Instruction. The report was as
follows:
WORK OF SCHOOLS.

referred the Department Of Public In
struction would report as follows:

correct although they have not been
audited for over two years or since the
present Superintendent has been in
charge.
The only money handled by the de-
partment Is rents from school lands
amounting to about 81 900 per annum
which Is paid into the treasury as a
government realization, this is also
true of money received from book sales
and for sales of articles from the Re
! form school. These amounts are paid
in monthly to the treasury.
The payment of teachers Is made by
| treasury warrants.
Your committee find that the depart
ment is carried on in systematic and
satisfactory manner and reflects credit
on those In charge.
Respectfully submitted.

Senator McCandless at once took up
| the matter of the removal OF the Re
form School from its present location
to the new situation near Kahuku
where buildings are to be constructed
He said it was not a good change, as
1t would be a source of continual ex-
pense on account of the transportation
Of persons and supplies, and that If
kept in the vicinity Of Honolulu there
would be a great saving to the gov
| eminent.
Senator Isenberg said such inquiry
was beyond the scope OF the work be-
fore the committee and so moved the
I adoption of the report. Senator Nc
Candless urged that action should be
had at once owing to the fact that re-
moval was imminent. Senator Dickey
moved that the report be received and
filed, as it contained no recommends
ton.
Senators Baldwin and Wilcox took
the stand that the committee had nc
reason for further action and as well
that nothing could be done now, as
change and appropriated the money
for the construction of the buildings
Senator Achi sided with Senator Nc
Candless, saying that II was bad public
policy to remove the school, and saying
that he thought the committee should
look into all these matters. The Sen.
ator then moved that the report be re.
ferred back, with instruction to take
n ~ pafnrpn School 4
secured a second. Senator Kalauoka-
lani seconded the motion to receive
and file, saying that the action OF the
last legislature could not be nullfiel
by the senate now. The motion OF
Achi was lost and that OF Dickey car
ried and the report was filed.
Senator Dickey then reported for the
second time from the Attorney Gener-
ais Department committee as follows:
