B. P. o. e. Working on Final Re-
hearsals.
-Hilo Tribune.

The EIks hold big rehearsal tonight
in Elks' Hall for their Minstrel Enter
tainment on May IA and 16. This af-
ternoon the members of the mock
Florodora sextette, one of the most
important of the many stunts that
are preparing for that occasion, will
meet at Elks' Hall at five O'Clock TO
practice their travesty.
The programme as whole promises
to be an excellent one. Every num-
Der starting with the first part is new,
while the sketches and monologues
are bristling with apt local illusions.
The whole town will be quietly guyed
more or less in a harmless way by the
antlered herd.
Among the novel ideas will be a
silent bayonet drill by crack. members
of Captain Johnson's Company, a star
circus with Sonny Cunha as clown,
Wills as ringmaster, Harry Newton as
chief acrobat Livingston as eques-
trienne and others in suitable roles.
The "Spookery' specially written by
Allan Dunn will furnish the medium
for many good jokes of local purport
George Kunkel has a one man sketch
and there are besides other things,
in store for the second night. The
Tuxedo Quartet sings and the best
sololsts OF the town appear in the first
part. .,i.

IN THE HOUSE.

When the Journal Of the House had
been read Paele moved to expunge
from the records the ruling of the chair
against his motion to reconsider the
Amara fire claim. Harris contended
logically that to alter records would
leave the Journal showing that an ir-
regular transaction had taken place
which was impossible. The motion
was lost and the Journal was then ap-
proved.
Kupihea in the search for informa-
tion introduced the following saying
that there was a doubt in his mind as
to the legality of the acts which had
been passed and therefore he presented
the resolution as follows:
Be it resolved by the House of Rep
resentatives that the following ques-
tions be submitted to the Attorney
General for his official opinion:
1. Does the Organic Act require that

ance in the fund of $4,000 be available
during the next year. principally be-
cause he did not seem to understand it.
The item was deferred to permit of
discussion later.
The Judiciary Department got it's
$3.50 without question. and the At
torney-GeneraPs Department received
$4,000 for support of prisoners and in
cidenta1s. Harris had a new item, $4,000
for defense of fisheries cases, but there
was almost a solid vote of the Home
Rulers and Home Rule Republicans
and the item was killed.
The Treasury Department was given
s261 $50 as asked. Under the Depart
ment of Public Works, the Mausoleum
item caused a little discussion but it
passed as in the bill There was lit

COUNTY AND TERRITORY.
Vida offered an amendment of $1,000
to repay the Coney Estate for land
taken for the construction of the Tan
taIus road through Kalawahine.
Harris moved reference 10 a special
committee and made the point of order
that the roads were turned over to the
counties and as this was a Territorial
expense bill there could be nothing af-
fecting the county control of the roads.
Kalama said this was a good point
for the outside members for they wouia
now be able to see that there were no
items in the bill which were purely
oahu items The chair held the point
well taken and suggested that a relief
bill should be introduced.
Lewis suggested 5000 for the Hilo
park and this brought another discus
sion.
Paele took up the matter OF the dis
tribution OF the funds. saying that
there was a great difference between
the Territorial and county matters and
urging the Kalawahine matter as one
that should be passed.
Kalama moved to reconsider the Park
item and then as a debate
was imminent moved a recess which
was carried.
