Kupihea presented a resolution call
ing for statement from the Board of
Health of all employees and all money
expended by it during the past two
years. Harris said this was robbing
the standing committees of much of
their prerogative. Chillingworth took
the position that such resolution was
a vote of lack of confidence in the reg
ular committee. Kaniho seconded the
resolution, saying that there was dam
ger of the House not getting the infor-
nation and this resolution would help
secure it. Keliinoi resented the impu-
tation against the committee, and said
the committees were competent to take
all action possible. The resolution, on
motion of Harris, was tabled.
Haia presented a resolution for
schools and cottages; Kaena, $1,000;

Kumalae presented a resolution in
structing the judiciary committee to
investigate the appointment of Chester
Doyle as japanese interpreter. In sup
port of his motion Kumalae said that
two weeks ago he was in court when
a Japanese was claiming wages, and
Doyle was Interpreting. The japanese
showed his books and Doyle said he
could not interpret them. He contin-
ued: cat the last session there was
appropriations for an interpreter, and
this man is incompetent. If he was
a Hawaiian and so incompetent he
would be fired quickly. A young man
was filling the place who was compe-
tent, but he was fired out for this man,
who belongs to the compact. 1t is the
duty of legislators to see the law en-
forced, and here it is being broken.
That Judge told me 1 had no right to
come before him and complain, but 1
told him had helped pass the law and
1 should try and see the money well
expended. 1t would be proper for the
House committee to have Doyle and
the young man who was fired before
them, with Japanese, and then decide
between them. 1t would be well to
have our committee call Doyle before
us, and we could examine him as to his
qualifications, and if he is not worth
$3.50 a month, he may be given only
$50 a month"
Harris brought out the fact that
Judge De Bolt was Federal appoint

Fernandez supported the resolution.
