Evening Session.
The evening session started out with
a discussion on the point that was be-
fore the House at the end Of the after
noon session-the taking from the
table of the Emergency Bill. Mr.. Ke-
liinoi said he had learned during the
interim that the Conference Commit
tee Of the Senate on the Emergency
Bill was still eXtant in the Senate and
that the House could therefore pro-
coed to act.
Emergency Bill.
Mr.. Harris In answer to point made
by Mr.. Kumalae that conference
committee could not insert any items
as had been done by the Committee in
question when II inserted an item OF
100000 for the Waimea bridge. He
stated that amendments were within
the province OF any conference COM
mittee. Such committee could strike
out sections or parts OF bills. Why
then could ii not insert sections or
items. Mr.. Chillingworth took eXcep-
tion to this, stating that such com
mittee had no initiative. A conference
committee was appointed for the con-
sideration of matters in dispute Mr.
ChillingwOrth said he assumed all the
responsibility for statement in the face
of whatever the newspapers might pile
up against.
Mr.. Harris, during the afternoon ses-
sion, had made a point of order to the
effect that the report of the conference
committee having once been laid on
the table, there could be no further
consideration of the matter. The
Speaker ruled in favor of this point OF
order and that settled the Emergency
Bill.
A motion was made that a new con-
ference committee be appointed but
the Speaker ruled that this could only
be done by means of joint resolution.
Attendance at Schools.
House Bill 65, relating to the attend
ance of children at schools and provid-
ing for punishment for such children
parents or guardians in case of the vio-
lation of any of the provisions OF the
Act, was brought up in second reading
Mr.. Kumalae took exception to that
part OF the Act which makes it COM
pulsory for people from 6 to q to at
tend schools. The latter figure should
be fifteen. During his discussion OF
this matter, Mr.. Chillingworth arose
and moved to indefinitely postpone on
the ground that no provision was
made for the support OF young wives
while their husbands were attending
school.
There was discussion back and forth
