Error in Title Causes Veto by the
Governor on Technical
Grounds.
Members Resign Because They Deem Action an
Attack Upon Their Rights by Senate
and Executive.

+ override the veto of the Governor.
Harris maintained that If the grounds
Of the Governor were well taken, then
the title of the bill should be changed
and everything made regular.
Kupihea seconded the motion of Paele
and Paele again got the floor and with
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
members should go home. leave the
work of the people. because there is no
money to meet the expenses.
ChiIingworth said that the members
should remember that the Governor
has made no objection to the amount.
simply that there was a technical de-
feet in the wording; therefore the only
thing to be done was to make it right.
BEcKLEY SECURES REFERENCE.
Speaker Beckley here said that the
veto of the Governor was a proper one,
as the bin now involves a technical
question in title. He said that he had
been informed that the Senate had re-
ferred the veto to its Judiciary Com
mittee, and he would suggest that the
same disposition be made here. The
Senate committee was to meet at 2
O'Clock and the two committees might
meet together and thus decide what is
necessary.
This statement Gained the House and
Kupihea moved that the reference to
the Judiciary Committee be made,
which was done.
Fernandez excitedly moved that the
House adjourn for three days so that
the committee could report. He said it
was all nonsense for the Governor to
think that the Representatives were
here to work and live on wind. He was
ruled out of order however and con-
tinued TO tell those around him how
he wanted to show his feeling toward
the Governor and how ridiculous the
whole thing was.
| SENATE MESSAGE SENT BACK.
Speaker Beckley called for the regu-
lar order which was the reading of ehe
Senate message returning House Bill
No. 3, being the six months current
appropriation bill, which now carries
81 ,2ls. .44S.s7.
When the list of changes was read
Kupihea moved to send the communica-
tion back to the Senate as an impor-
tant provision which was passed by the
Senate was omitted from the communi-
cation. This was done. The House
then took a recess to o'clock.
JUDICIARY COMMITTEES REPORT.
Immediately upon reconvening Chair
man Andrade said that the Judiciary
Committee was ready to report but be-
cause of the short time had no oppor-
tunity to prepare a written report. I'm
der suspension of the rules Andrade
then made his report verbally:
your Committee on Judiciary, to
which was referred House Bill No. /
and the Governors message returning
the same without his approval, has had
the same under consideration and bess
to report thereupon as follows: Your
committee finds that the bill as passed
is defective. and that the Governors
message thereupon is in accordance
with the law.
Your committee has taken upon it
self to draft a new bill. with the same
objects and purposes. and herewith
submits the same. Your committee
therefore recommends that the mes
sage OF the Governor be accepted and
that the bill submitted be acted upon at
once"
