member present in town in his place.
After a short wait, Secretary A. G..
Hawes appeared on the scene with
four messages from The Governor rela-
time to appointments and the recent
developments in various of the offices,
of the Government. These messages
are given in full elsewhere. The first
two were interpreted into Hawaiian by
Interpreter John f. Bush, but the last
two, being very long, were not inter-
preted.
Senator J. T. Brown Of Hilo made
a motion to the effect that all the mes
sages be translated and printed in
order that the Hawaiians might be
able to understand fully the contents
thereof. There should also be copies
In English struck off, as II was not pos
sible to take In all of the messages
Just from hearing them read.
Senator Baldwin was against having
the messages printed, as such course
would take too long. He favored be-
ginning work at once, and said that
while this work was in progress he
had no particular objection to having
the messages translated and printed II
such was the desire of the Senate. As
the work progressed. each step could
be explained to the Hawaiians.
Senator Kalauokalani, In seconding
the motion of Senator ] t. Brown to
have the messages translated, stating
that this was necessary In order that
there might be complete understand
ing on the part of the Hawaiian mem
bers. Thirty or forty copies would do.
Senator Baldwin insisted that speed
was necessary. The messages he'd
come from the Governor and investi.'
CATION of the various offices under the
Government had been invited. It
would not do to waste any time.
The chair said he saw no reason for
further discussion on the matter, as
1t was very well understood. He
thereupon put the motion OF Senator
j. T. Brown, which was lost.
Senator Baldwin moved that six
committees of three each be appointed
by the chair for the purpose of investi-
eating the various offices under the
Government. Senator Dickey amend.
ed this motion to the effect that the in.
vestigation take place in only those
departments mentioned In the mes
sages of the Governor. 1t was point
ed out to the Maui Senator that the
Governor had invited an investigation
Of all the departments under the Gov.
ernment. The amendment of Senator
Dickey was not seconded.
Senator Kalauokalani expressed II
as his opinion that everything should
be investigated. That was the only
way to conduct the business.
Senator Isenberg stated that, for
the benefit Of the Hawaiian members
OF the Senate who had not heard the
last two messages, he would move that
these be interpreted.
| Senator Kalauokalani answered that
there was no use to attempt such q
thing. The Hawaiian members had
asked that the messages be translat-
ed and printed, but as that had not
been allowed, there was no use in
having the messages interpreted into
Hawaiian. They would go in one ear
and out of the other. The motion of
Senator isenberg was not put.
The motion OF Senator Baldwin that
the chair proceed to the appointment
OF committees was put and carried.
and the chair asked for few minutes
during which to select the men for the
work. The Senate thereupon took q
recess for ten minutes.
