| the House of Representatives ANNOUNCE
ing its Inconvenience with the Sem
ate amendments to House Bill No. 3.
current expense appropriations for six
months. and requesting n conference
committee of five members from each
| branch. The following were named as
! the House conferees: Harris. Fernan
| DEE, Vida. Pail and Kaniho.
President Crabbe finally named the
| following as the Senate conferees, every
district being represented: Achi, c.
Brown. Baldwin, Paris and Nakapa-
ahu He mentioned that the bill had
not yet been returned
Senator Kaiue of Maui was named at
| first, but asked to be excused because
he wanted to so home.
Excuse him." Senator Baldwin said
and the President complied, saying:
II will excuse him, and as Senator
Baldwin has been absent so long l will

UNPAID BILLS ACT.
A communication from the House
conveyed amendments 1t had made to
Senate Bill No. 4. appropriating money
for unpaid bills.
Senator Kaohi moved that the Senate
concur in the House amendments.
Senator Cecil Brown did not know
whether he should second the motion or
not. There was one item he did not
like, that was the fire claim of Mrs.
Amara. 1t would be a bad precedent.
The idea of the Fire Claims Commits
sion was to have all OF the fire losses of
the bubonc plague epidemic of 1900
settled once for all. If they admitted
one claim that was neglected to be sent
before the commission there might be
lot of such claims in the next Legis-
lature. Another Objectionable item was
that reimbursing j. W. Kalua under his
paiai contract with the Board of
Health. 1t presumed to decide ques
ton of law, which was not within the
province of the Legislature. A third
item he thought not right was that to
pay Rev. Manase for praying for the
souls of convicts at the prison. He
referred for information to Senator
! Achi, who stated that Rev. Manase
visited the prison voluntarily and that
the Salvation Army conducted services
there free.
UP TO THE GOVERNOR.
However, the speaker continued, the
in an appropriation bill and he believed
the Governor would not approve items
that We're manifestly improper There
fore, to leave the bill to the Governors
action would be much quicker than
sending it to conference and he would
second the motion.
Senator Baldwin inquired about the
item for telephones for policemen on
| Hawaii. Senator c. Brown explained
how the Sheriff charged telephones to
| the police out of their pay, and the
House in it's wisdom deemed it better
| the government should stand the ex-
| pense instead of the poor policemen.
| Senator Baldwin unused on the fact
| that the bill had gone to the House with
$17S,000 in round numbers and come
back with $205, 900, an increase of about
1927, 900. He remarked that it was a
considerable increase but made no mo-
| ton.
| THE SENATE CONCURS.
| Senator McCandless having asked
what was said in the court about the
| final passage of bills and been answered
| by President Crabbe and Chairman
| Brown of the Judiciary Committee that
the concurrence in amendments after
| a bill had passed three readings in both
houses was all that was needed, the
motion to concur in the House amend
ments carried by the following vote:
Ayes-Achi, Baldwin. C. Brown. ]. T.
Brown, Crabbe, Isenberg, Kaiue, Ka-
lauokalani, Kaohi. McCandless. Wilcox,
Woods-12.
Noes-Dickey, Paris-2.
VACATION DEFERRED.
Senator Achi wanted to move a re-
consideration of his vacation resolution,
it seeming to him there was work on
hand.
Senator Baldwin thought there was
as much reason for the resolution now
as when 1t was offered. The confer
ence committee would have all the work
to do for several days.
Senator McCandleSs agreed with the
previous speaker, thinking there was
even more reason now for vacation.
A recess of ten minutes was taken to
enable the clerk to communicate with
The House. Before the time was up
word was received that the House had
taken Just three minutes to turn down
the vacation scheme
Senator Achi, on the Senate's COM
ing to order, moved to adjourn until
Friday morning.
Senator Crabbe, answering a ques-
ton. stated that the House had laid |
the vacation resolution on the table I'M |
til Saturday.
At 1885 the Senate adjourned until
10 o'clock Friday morning
