words distilled spirits" were substitute
ed for Intoxicating liquors. in section
23.
Senator Woods offered an amendment
! limiting the druggists to the sale of
one quart of alcohol and providing
penalty from 800 to $3.50 for violations.
Senator McCandless proposed that 1t
be made gallon. Senator c. Brown
| favored Woods amendment saying
its omission from the County bill was
great error. Crabbe moved that the
amendment not apply to physicians;
and 1t finally carried at a quart vito
! this change.
Senator Kalauokalani favored the
gallon clause as he said painters re-
quired 1t. He said he was a painter
himself and denied that methylated
spirits would do as well.
The bill passed third reading; 13 ayes.
2 noes. Kalauokalani and Kaohi vot-
ing mo" I'm glad that nightmare
is off my hands," said Dickey.
BONDS FOR OFFICERS.
The two Isenberg gambling bills and
the secret service bill were referred to
the Judiciary Committee.
The bill requiring bonds from Ter
ritorial officers passed second reading
on the favorable report of Senator
Baldwin who introduced the bill. Sena-
tor Brown proposed an amendment re-
quir!ng a bond from the President of
the Board of Health and chief clerks of
all the departments of the Territory.
Carried
Senator Achi offered an amendment
requiring the surety company bonds to
be approved by the Governor Senator
Achi proposed that the lowest bond to
be given be reduced from $4,000 to $10,-
900. Senator c. Brown moved that it
be $4,000 for department heads and
$4,000 for the chies clerks. The Brown
amendment carried.
The sum of $4,000 is appropriated to
carry out the provisions of the act, as
the bond premiums are to be paid by
the government. The bill passed sec
ond reading-to be read third time on
Monday.
THE WINSTON FRANCHISE.
The Winston franchise bill was next
called up on third reading. Senator c.
Brown moved the adoption of the re-
port of the committee which recon-
mended that the railroad be not allow
held vested rights.
Senator Achi opposed the report
which he said would kill the railroad,
and argued that the Legislature could
grant privileges over vested rights.

road on Queen street and not on River
street. He said if the law passed prop
erly it would mean a million dollars for
the Territory, so he had been told by a
man who had $500, 900 to put into the
railroad. "If we ask for poi We don't
want the committee to give us a stone"
said Achi. I'VE want franchise, we
don't care what Dillingham; wants.
The bill as the committee has it is no
good. It's a losing game. and this man
Winston is a sensible man and won't
put his money in it. This report is sur
prising to a man of common sense"
who is that?" asked Dickey, chair
man of the committee.
Senator Achi moved to table the re-
port, but he withdrew the motion when
told by Senator Brown that it would
shut off debate.
ISENBERG AND ACHI.
Senator Isenberg said he was surpris-
ed at Senator Achi. A few years ago
franchise had been granted to the
Oahu Railway and now he wants to
do away with it.
II never said that" said Achi.
You did" replied Isenberg.
IT never said it, again repeated
Achi
"You did," replied Isenberg.
IT didn't" said Achi.
"I've got the floor, Mr.. President"
said Isenberg. Mr.. Achi's policy in
the Senate seems to be to start law
suits among the people Of the Terri
tory.
That's not my policy" retorted
Achi.
you said So" replied Isenberg.
81 never"
"You said 1t in Hawaiian
II never said it in either English or
Hawaiian" replied Achi.
The Senator will please confine him |
self to the subject" the chair finally |
ruled.
Senator Isenberg said that the fran
chise wanted would start a big law suit |
IL the tracks were allowed on the Oahu
Railway property. He said further
that the committee had gone into the
matter carefully though Achi did make
fun of the report. He wanted kalihi to
have a railroad but he didn't believe
in interfering with the rights of the
present railway. He would rather vote
to put the tracks on King street than
on Queen street, which would in5ure
private concern that now paid 100000
taxes a year.
M'CANDLESS TALKS.
Senator McCandless said the report
of the committee might just as we'll
kill the bill as the route laid out Is
impracticable. The line proposed start
Ing from River and Queen streets, up
River to Vineyard and to Kameha-
meha schools then to Queen street and
up Kalihi was of no value to the COM
