EXPUNGEO FROM
THE RECORD
SPEAKER BECKLEY'S ORDERS OF
SUSPENSION RELOCATED TO,
LIMBO OF FORGETFULNESs

After the reading of the minutes of
the House this morning Speaker Beck
ley ordered all references to the sus-
pension of members for being late yes
terday expunged from the records. He
remarked that they were first Offenses.
1t is said that there is no authority iR
the rules for Beckley's action in sus-
pending the members, but the suspen-
sion worked all right and had the effect
of making members mode desirous of
being prompt.
From the Senate five bills were re-
ceived and all passed first reading.
Motions to reject were made in two
cases by Kupihea and Wright, but
neither motion carried. The proposed
laws are an act to provide for a High
School in Hilo, an act relating to the
exemption of taxes of the Pacific
Heights Railway Company an act to
enable police to suppress gambling and
gaming, an act appropTiating money for
the reimbursement of certain road
funds, an act making special apprO-
priations for the departmental use of
the Territory to pay unpaid bills up to
, the first day of July, 1903.
The Committee on Public Lands and
Internal improvements reported on a
number of matters referred to it,.
Kumalae's bill to appropriate $751; 900
for extension of School street with an
amendment cutting the amount to $780,
900 with minor amendments. Senator
j. T. Browns bill for an electric rail-
road in Hilo was also approved by a
majority report, the minority promis-
ing to report this afternoon. With their
dissent the committee approved the A.

PASSES It UP
TO THE VOTERS

By passing the Senate municipal bill
last night the House probably killed the
Long municipal bill, and sent to the
Governor for his approval the city gov
ernment act drawn by r. A. Breckons
and the Republican commission. The
city government act was introduced
some time after the county bill, but
gets through first. The House passed
1t without amendmnt, and the vote
indicates that in the event of a veto it
will be made a law anyhow.
The municipal bill as passed makes
the establishment of cities corporate a
matter optional with the various COM
munities which are fit to do so. There
is no creation of a city, but the means
are provided by which, at an election,
the people of a community may vote
for Incorporation as a city. Then the
machinery of government is provided.
The result of the passage of the act
win be a campaign to make an incor-
porated city of Honolulu. The propo-
sition will undoubtedly be submitted at
special election, or at the November
election provided for by the County act
and If 1t carries, the Incorporation of
the city of Honolulu will be a fact. 1t
Is said to be probable that Hilo also
win have an expression of the views of
voters on the subject of Incorporating
as a city.
The Long municipal bin passed the
House and is now in the Senate. 1t
simply made city and county of
| Honolulu, without further delay or
expressions of views by the voters. As
the Senate passed the other bill, which
was accepted by the House in last
nights session, it is expected that the
Long bill will be shelved. The ad-
vocates of city government claim to be
able to carry an election anyhow, tc
make a city of Honolulu, and have not
made any hard fight for the Long bill
The City government bill will be pre-

.UNFOUNDED REPORT
IN CIRCULATION
ON THE ISLAND OF HAWAII IT Is
SAID McSTOCKER' TO BE sue
CEEDED BY WALTON

\ report brought this morning by the
steamer Mauna LOa is to the effect that
f.. Is. McStocker was to retire from the
management of Ofaa Plantation The
report further said that Manager Wal
ton formerly of Pahala, was to sue
Ceed Mr. McStOcker. This rumor of
Mr.. McStockers retirement from the
head of affairs at the Olaa plantation,
appears to have been quite general
about the island of Hawaii, as it was
common talk among sugar people as
far west as Kailua.
Inquiry at the office of j. f. Dilling-
ham and Company the agents of Olaa
Plantation, received a denial of the re-
port 1t was stated that absolutely
nothing of the reported retirement of
Mr.. McStocker was known by the
agents of the plantation. In fact, cir
cumstances went to disprove any such
rumor The last letter received from
Mr.. McStocker indicated that he in
tended remaining for some time with
the concern.
e. e. Paxton went to Hawaii today
on the Kinau but his visit was not in
connection with the reported retire
ment of Mr.. McStocker but was in
connection with entirely different mat
ters.

narrowly escaped being committed to

from the police force for conduct un-

of the police department testified that
on Saturday night Duncan had applied
some very insulting and abusive cpl

LAS the Board are bound to do their
duty as prescribed by law such COM
mitments as have been made will be
carried out as acted upon by the legal
ly composed commission of examiners
appointed for that purpose.
while the Board does not admit
the authority of the House except as
provided by law, it has however no de-
sire to hinder but prefers to cooperate
with the House in any reasonable re-
quest. AS this request will merely de-
lay the departure for one week the
Board sees no reason why the request
should not be granted
