COUNTY BILL HEARD FROM.
Then the Speaker called for the orde
of the day. and Chillingworth moved
the county bill be taken up and read b.
title a second time. This was carried
but the House fought shy of 1t OF
second thought, and a motion to re-
consider was carried on the under.
standing that the Speaker would cal
up the county bill as soon as the meas.
ures in his hands had been formally
| advanced toward final action. These
bills were then taken up, as follows:

without action. VIVA. is the use OF
having n judiciary committee, anyway.
IL that course is to he followed
The Speaker soothed the indignant
chairman If the Judiciary committee,
and the bill was referred to his COM
mittec
Senate Bill d., on second reading-An
act to prevent Introduction Of fruit
pests. This went over TO- ono week. on
the request of the member of the other
House who had introduced It.
House Bill 5t-Jncorpore ting the city
and county of Honolulu. This went to
special COMMITTEES on motion, ana
the House took recess until 2 p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The House put in five long hours I'M
the afternoon. and still the county bill
did not make it's appearance again. 1t
was not even heard of. There was Il
report from the judiciary committee,
amending the jury bill by substituting
a new measure for House Bill No. s.
and after this had been read and trans
lated, the whole process consuming AM
hour. 1t was discovered that this made
the first reading instead of the second,
and that the time had therefore been
wasted. To save this, the new bill went.
back to the committee to be presented
as an amendment to bill No. 5.
Then came the calling over If bills to !
be advanced by reference and second
reading. House Bill No. 30 was the
first, but when it came to the transla-
ton the Hawaiian version was discov-'
cred to be so full of errors that it had
to go back to the printing committee
for correction. and that was more time
wasted Then the better part of the
balance of the afternoon was devoted
to the advancement of bills upon which
reports had been made by various COM
mittees to second reading.
After this had been finished, the
House went into committee of the
whole and took up once more the con-
sidera ton of the special emergency
bill, left unfinished on Friday. 1t was
found that the total amount appropri-
ated in the bill had been raised from
s195. 100 to s205.S2O. After this total had
been announced. Chillingworth called
Kumalae to the chair, and asked unan-
imous consent to move the reconsider
alton of the vote rejecting the item of
81, 500 asked for by the Attorney General
to secure the return OF fugitives from
justice. It was granted, and the item
was passed making the total called for
in the bill 1907 800 but not until Gandall
had got the floor and entered upon a
explanation.
GANDALL EXPLAINS.
He said that the newspapers had
charged him with defeating this item
because its insertion in the bill would
have meant the return of his son-in-
law, who was a fugitive. They had
also stated that he had taken the action
that she had TO shield his son-in-law,
He had made no complaint at the time
as to that publication, because he
thought his chance would come.
"Now," he said, this item is presented
to the House in different way My
main reason for objecting To 1t is this:
There have been several persons charg-
ed with fraud brought before the courts,
and they have been released At the
time this item came up. it was i'm my
mind that the man Taylor had refused
to come back. The same newspapers
published stories that his accounts
