HOUSE PASSES LOAN BILL ON
SECOND READING AFTER CONTEST

sought to intimidate the members OF
the lower branch OF the Legislature.
Mr.. Vida said that he was probably
to blame for the fact OF the appearance
of the names of the Senators. He
thought that the Senators having met
with the Representatives on the Oahu
items. II might be well for them to
sign so he took the report around to
those he could find and secured their
names. However, II there was any
objection, he would ask to have the re-
port returned to him for the purpose
OF striking therefrom the names that
were objected to by the member.
This satisfied Mr. Kaniho and he sat
down.
kumalae's Contention.
! The remarks Of Mr.. Kanlho got Mr..
Kumalae started and II was all on.
The latter said Mr.. Kaniho was right
| in his contention. The names OF the
Senators on the report was in the ma
ture of a direct threat. The member
attacked the majority report, saying
, that 1t had been gotten up by another
body and that the majority Of the MEM
bers Of the House were against the
Items under consideration.
Fernandez to Adopt.
Mr.. Fernandez moved the adoption
| committee. He stated that the repre-
sentatives had themselves invited the
Senators to sit with them and they
should be willing to stand by their ac-
ton. The Senators having sat at the
conference, they were perfectly justi-
fed In signing the report. For the
life OF him. he could not see where the
intimidation came in when the MEM
bers OF both houses had sat together
and had come to the conclusions as set
forth In the report.
Harris Raises Point.
Mr.. Kumalae went on to tell OF how
the report did not represent the wishes
OF the majority OF the members OF the
House, when he was brought up with
a round turn by Mr.. Harris who ar
gued that the member was not comm
ing himself to the matter in hand. The
reports from the other delegations had
not been signed and yet they were
adopted. This was a precedent and
the names attached to the Oahu report
could not be considered. IL the Oahu
report was sent back then all the other
reports would also have to go back.
Mr.. Kumalae started in on Mr.. Har-
ris and objected to his taking the floor
and talking when he had been recog-
nized by the chair. He had gotten up
to state a point Of order and was now
taking advantage Of that to address the
House. Mr.. Harris stated that he was
explaining his point OF order. He did
not want to take the floor away from
the member. He hoped that the floor
was large enough to hold them both.
e" Won't Sit Down."
Mr.. Keliinoi moved that the report
be sent back and that the report OF the
previous day on the Oahu items be sub
stituted. At this point. Mr.. Fernandez
, objected and insisted on the passage
OF the report. Mr.. Kumalae arose to q
question OF privilege but was told by
the Chair to sit down until Mr.. Fer

say, Mr.. Kumalae persisted and the
: Chair once more ordered him to TAX,
his seat. Mr., Kumalae stood lookint
at Mr.. Andrade a while and then said
II will not take my seat under YOU
order" Mr.. Andrade answered: "Ther
remain standing where you are" A
this, the Chair again turned to Mr.
Fernandez and listened TO what he hat
to say.
: Swallowed Bitter pills.
Mr.. Ayiett said that some OF tn,
items In the bill had been to him lik,
; swallowing bitter pills. However. h,
had swallowed hard had succeeded II
getting the pills down and now h,
! was for the adoption OF the report Al
signed by the majority Of the member
I OF the House. He had taken his med
icine like man, Mr.. Aylett becam,
so excited that he forgot his mothe
