| failure to secure n two-third vote and
to reconsider now would be a question
of law. and according to that / do not
think Section fifty conflicts with the
rule OF the House which permits the
member to claim the privilege of maxi
Ing the motion to reconsider.
Harris raised the second point that
there was motion to reconsider made
yesterday and that motion having car
ried there can be no second motion to
reconsider the action on the veto. The
| chair ruled, however, that the motion
affected only the remaining items Of
the veto message. consequently those
passed upon could be reconsldered.
There was long discussion. the
reading of stenographic notes and the
| expression of n variety OF opinions.
Beckley stuck to his point that the
word majority must be construed
numerically and not as bearing upon
the question OF the winning side OF
the proposition.
FINALLY OUT OF ORDER.
Harris again raised the point that
since the House had postponed con-
sideration Of the Governors message
until Thursday nothing looking to ac-
ton upon any section of 1t could be
pressed until that vote had been recon-
sidered.
Andrade tried to solve the question
by suggestion that the Attorney Gem
eral should be asked for an opinion.
Paele made the point that this was
his last chance for reconsideration but
the Speaker held that his motion was
sufficient to protect his privileges I'M
der the rules of the House. Finally
the chair held that the motion to post
pone consideration until Thursday was
in reality n reconsideration of the Ka-
lama motion to take up the veto. and
ruled out of order the Paele motion.
Kumalae then moved to reconsider
the vote for which action was post
poned on the veto until Thursday,
which carried, twenty-one to seven.
The motion to defer consideration I'M
til tomorrow therefore came up again
and on this the vote was ayes twelve.

to Friday which was lost by eleven to
fourteen. motion to adjourn was

Fernandez moved to override the
Kalua item, but the point of order was
made that the consideration proceed
item by item which was ordered and
the Keoho land claim next came up.
Fernandez making the motion to over
ride.
Paele began to criticise the Governor
for referring to what went on in the
House, saying that the House did not
pretend to know what went on In the
Senate until he was called to order.
Harris showed that the claimant ask
ed nearly $4,000 an acre, which was too
much. The veto was overridden by
twenty-one to seven; those opposed
being Andrade. Gandall, Greenwich,
Harris, Jaeger, Knudsen and Long.
The Kamakaheikuli land damage
claim came up and the veto was over
ridden by exactly the same vote.
KALUA VETO SUSTAINED.
The Kalua paiai claim, S6133 80. came
next, and without discussion the
voting went on disclosing only nine
teen ayes to nine noes, Aylett, Keliinoi
and Lewis voting in favor of the veto
and Long against 1T. The veto was
sustained.
The refunding of monies held out of
salaries of police of Hawaii to pay
a speech in which Fernandez lugged in
Boyd's Washington trip the veto was
verridden by twenty-one to seven.
Paele wanted to reconsider the ANA
ra fire claim but the speaker said he
could not quite see how such mo-
ton could be entertained as the rules
did not seem to cover the point of the
reconsideration of vote on n veto,
citing the Organic Act and saying the
motion was clearly out of order as the
motion was lost when voted upon as
prescribed.
Kaniho began to talk ltting the
Lady Dog Veto as being precedent.
He was arguing on something that was
entirely out of order and there was a
lively little tilt in two languages be-
tween him and Andrade before finally
he quit Oil wanted an opinion from
the Attorney General on whether or

members present when voting on a
veto and the House let him have 1t
and then adjourned.
