WORD FROM THE GOVERNOR
At the conclusion of ChiIlingworth's
little talk, Beckley reminded the
House that there were but a few days
of the session remaining. and asked the
members to put more confidence in
their committees. IF you cannot do
that" he said, II viii ask you to move
a vote of want of confidence and have
the committee changed, to the end that
business may be expedited. For the
chair has been reliably informed that
the Governor will not extend the ses-
sion unless. before its, close, there
should be a material change in the dis
position of the House.
Then the report of the committee was
adopted. and Kumalae was beaten.
The Health Committee submitted a
number of reports on minor matters,
among them. however, being one in
favor of the bill for setting up bac-
plant at Kalihi receiving
station, for the scientific examination |
of leper suspects 1t was perhaps due
to the little speech of Speaker Beckley
that all these reports took the course
by the committee. This
spirit, in fact. prevailed during the
balance OF the morning session until.
Just prior to the noon recess, Vida, pre-
sented, from the Committee on Ex-
penditures, a favorable report on the
pill of the Evening Bulletin for balance
