IN THE HOUSE.

! When the House met there was reat
as the first communication, the fol
lowing from High Sheriff Brown:
| II beg to call your attention, and tc
the attention of the honorable mem
bers of the House of Representatives
of the Territory of Hawaii, that but
$1,000 has been appropriated in the
Emergency Bill for civil and criminal
incidentals of the Attorney Generals
Department.
"This amount is entirely insufficient
to meet the incidental expenses of this
department for the remaining portion
of this present period. The unpaid
bills against this appropriation for the
month of April amount to $1,00S.23, and
it is safe to presume that the bills for
May will equal, if not exceed, this
amount.
II would therefore respectfully sug-
gest that an item of 81, 800 be appropri-
ated for unpaid bills of this depart
ment. This amount, together with the
81 200 passed in the Emergency Bill,
would make up the amount of $1,000,
asked for by the Attorney General to
be inserted in the Emergency Bill"
HOUSE EXPENSE BILL VETOED
The following message containing the
veto of the Governor of the amended
House expense bill, was next read:
"A Message to the Legislature of Ha-
wall.
Il am unable to approve of a Bill
entitled An Act to Appropriate Money
for the Purpose of Defraying the Ex-
penses of the Extra Session of the
House of Representatives of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii of the Year 1908,
from the Public Treasury received
from the Legislature on May 26th, and
return the same herewith without my
signature.
my objections to this Bill are as
follows:
Section of the act appropriates
money for defraying the expenses of
the Extra Session of the House of
Representatives of the Territory of
Hawaii of the Year 1903
while the Senate may sit in special
session, an extra or special session of
tie House is unknown to the law.

Governor.
Executive Chamber, Territory of
Hawaii, May eth, 1903"
WANT TO OVERRIDE IT.
When the message had been read the
storm broke. Heatedly Paele moved to
override the veto of the Governor
Harris maintained that if the grounds
Of the Governor We're we'll taken, then
the title of the bill should be changed
and everything made regular.
Kupihea seconded the motion of Paele
and PAnIp aga In
heat declared that the veto should be
overriden, and then If the Senate
should not agree with the House, the
only thing to be done was that the
should go home, leave the
work of the people, because there Is no
money to meet the expenses.
Chillingworth said that the members
should remember that the Governor
has made no objection to the amount,
simply that there was a technical de- /
ect in the wording; therefore the only /
hing to be done was to make 1t right. |
SECURES REFERENCE. |
Speaker Beckley here said that the
'eto of the Governor was proper one,
Is the bill now involves a technical
question in title. He said that he had
'een informed that the Senate had re-
erred the veto to its judiciary Com
nittee, and he would suggest that the
anne disposition be made here. The
senate committee was to meet at 2
clock and the two committees might
meet together and thus decide what is
ecessary.
This statement Gained the House and
lupihea moved that the reference to
he judiciary Committee be made, L
'hich was done.
Fernandez excitedly moved that the
louise adjourn for three days so that I
he committee could report. He said It
'as all nonsense for the Governor to
hink that the Representatives We're
ere to work and live on wind. He was ]
uled out of order however and con-
