The Hawaiian gazette., 1903-03-13

Aylett wished to amend the KeIiinoI
resolution to the effect that the Speaker
should order the members of the House
to attend the funeral in body. He
thought the House should not give up
Its quarters for the body to lie in state
therein, as that would entail considera-
BILE expense. He said that the House
had started its session on n basis of
economy. He did not know why they
should change now. 1t would cost quite
a sum to move the desks from the
House and bring them back again just
for that occasion. Respect should be
shown for the late Prince, but he con-
sidered the House would be doing this
sufficiently by attending the funeral in
a body.
Wright said that as the last OF the
Kamehamehas, the Princes remains
should be treated with every respect.
He declared that in the days of the
monarchy the Executive building was
the palace of the Kamehamehas, and
that as the last OF those princes was
now dead he ought to be buried from
that palace.
Vida offered an amendment to the
effect that the government further rem
der all the assistance in its power in the
burial of the Prince.
Harris wished to move an amendment
to tire Aylett amendment, using the
word request" instead of order" as
he declared Mr.. Aylett had become used
to the word order" through his con-
nection with the military committee.
\ kumalae moved that the whole Ques-
ton go over until today, and this was
carried.
THAT HACK ET.D wuApES
Representative Lewis introduced a
resolution calling for an appointment
of select committee to inquire into
the building of the Hackfeld wharf. de-
claring that there was proposition
before the House to appropriate $10s,000
for the building of the wharf and the
building of 1t was not legal, and the
contract for the work had not been let
out by advertisement. On motion of
Harris. seconded by Kumalae, the res
olution was deferred until action should
be taken on the Governors message, as
the latter contained reference to the
building of the wharf.
Representative Wright asked for an
appropriation of $4,000 for court
house and Jail for the district of North
kona..
House bills rs, Sc, SO, 81 were given

The House was, by this time, in an
uproar. Members declared the affair |
ort of order Harris protested, declar-
ing this piece Of legislation to be throw
ing odium on the House. The clerk
stopped reading the document and |
handed 1t to the Speaker, who said 1t |
would have to be read as a member had
handed 1t up, but that it remained for
the House to dispose of 1t. Someone |
made motion to adjourn, and this was !

the Speakers desk to inspect the freak |

not in his handwriting.
