General Bagley has returned from

Office on behalf of the state in, sew
eral contests instituted by settlers to
test the states rights to certain tim
Der selections. Nine ,of these con
tests were voluntarily dismissed,
leaving six pending. They will soon
be decided.
The attorney general reports that
about twenty contests of similar

the nature of friendly actions, the
state having practically advised the
interested parties to file the contests
in order that their legal rights might

not be impaired. The land board
was not advised of the filing of plats
for a large tract of timber land in
Kootenai county until four days be-
fore the expiration of the sixty days
within which the state has preference
right of entry. 1t was compelled,
then, to make blanket fling, which
embraced land of some who had
prior rights, by reason of having
squatted ON the land AS there was
not time for the state to investigate
or for the settlers to make showing
before the land board, it was thought
best to allow the cases to go to con-
test. In all cases where the evidence
shows that the settlement was of a
bona ide nature the state will relin-
qulsh the land.

HIGH FEELING IN
HOUSE OVER ITS
EXPENSE MEASURE
Error in Title Causes Veto by the
Governor on Technical
Grounds.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Whether or not the Legislature of
Hawaii will be in a more completely
mixed up condition today than 1t was
last night. is a question which will be
settled only by the action of the House
this morning. When adjournment was
forced yesterday afternoon, for the pur-
pose of seeing If a nights rest would
not cool down some Of the hot tempers
Of members there was before the House
the resignation of one member and five
others were in the possession Of the
Speaker.
These were the result of the belief
on the part Of the members that they
were being played with by the members
of the upper house and the Governor;
that they were to be held out of their
pay and expenses until the upper body
should see fit, and that the Hawaiians.
which predominant in the lower body,
were being misused generally by the
majority Of the Senate. Feeling ran
high and wise counsels were cast aside
in the heat of the moment. The House
in its state of feeling might have ac-
cepted the resignation of Fernandez.
and further might have gone into the
matter of a practical abandonment Of
the work, but the necessity for thought
was so apparent that all took the occa-
sion to adjourn.
