dent of the Senate as valuing the Tan
talus land at 100000. arguing that it
would have been comparatively worth
less but for the Government road built
at great expense.

order that the bill provided for a de-
cision OF the Supreme Court.

Court had already decided through the
approval of the Chief Justice TO the

he said he had only just begun his
speech.
Senator Woods moved he have an ex-
tension of two hours.
Senator Baldwin moved he be given
till midnight, as his evident intention
was TO talk the bill to death.
Senator McCandless spoke of there
being hundreds of other people who
felt they had grievances against the
Government and asked why one such
party should be singled out for relief
from the Legislature. There was no
will or the deed Hereunder
Senator Isenberg thought every mem
Der would stand up to thank the COM
mittee for its work, but when Senator
McCandless said he understood that
will he was away off. He Usenberg)
would not put his fathers Will into the

LABOR RESOLUTION DEFEATED. |
The Kumalae joint resolution provid- |
ing for increase in pay of laborers to |
$3.50 per day was defeated by the |
Senate. Senator Dickey moved to in |
definitely postpone; Kalauokalani to |
adopt. Senators Baldwin, McCandless, |
Paris, Achi and Dickey opposed the |
resolution as inconsistent with public |
policy. The opposition was based on |
the ground that the increase in wages
would injure rather than help the la
borer. 1t was pointed out that only
so much money was available for pay
of laborers and that an increase in
wages would mean a decrease in the
of men employed. Conditions
were such now that large number of
men would be thrown out of employ
ment in case the resolution was adopt
ed. The resolution failed, six to five
vote being on the motion to indefinite
ly postpone as follows: Ayes-Achi, |
Baldwin, Dickey, Isenberg, McCand-
less, Paris, 6. Noes-Crabbe, Kaiue,
Kaohi. Nakapaahu, 5.

ments, coffee bounty etc, was next

as not having to do with
appropriations. President Crabbe sus-
tanned the point of order, and the reso-
luton was killed.

zee of three be appointed to notify the
Governor and House of the Senate's
-eadiness to adjourn. Carried. And :
