HOT AFTER
THE HOUSE
SENATOR CECIL BROWN INTRO
DUCED WARM RESOLUTION
CALLING HOUSE TO TINE.

Senator Cecil Brown went after the
House, without gloves this morning in
the upper house. He introduced a re-
solution calling on the House to eX-
plain its action in apparently shelving
large number of Senatorial measures.
His resolution was as follows:
Whereas the Senate of the Territory
of Hawaii has passed some sixty acts
each have been duly transmitted to the
House of Representatives for consider
alton, and whereas none of said act
with perhaps one or two exceptions
have so far as is known received any
consideration whatever nor been re-
ferred to committees of said House.
Therefore be it resolved that it is
the sense of the Senate of the Territory
that the clerk communicate with the
! House of Representatives asking that
Information be furnished as to the dis
position or intended disposition of the
several acts or bills already transmit
ted to it.
Senator Brown was plainly annoyed
at the conduct on the part of the House
He said that there was reputed to be a
Republican majority in the House but
they were not conducting themselves
properly in their manner of dealing
with the Senatorial measures. If they
| did not propose to go ahead and do
some work, the sooner they got out of
the Republican Party the better. He
said that although some of the bills
had been sent to the House on the fifth
and sixth days of the present session
of the legislature nothing had been
heard from them.
/ Senators Kalauokalani, Kaohi, Die
key and Isenberg opposed the resolu-
ton. Senator Kaohi declared that the
resolution WAS "A WhiD over tha House
Senators McCahdless and j. T.
| Brown favored the resolution. There
was considerable discussion over the
matter and it was finally decided td
refer the resolution to a special com
mittee.

TO CONFORM TO
ORGANIC ACT
SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
REPORTED FAVORABLY ON BILL
THAT AMENDS EXISTING LAWS.

Two reports were made by the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee this morninS
Both reported favorably on the pass
age of two Senate bills. These meas
ures were Bills No. III and No. 116.
Senate Bill No. III seeks to amend
existing law on corporations to con-
form to the Organic Act and other
laws. The amendment to Section 2Ol6
kof the Civil Laws relates to the sale or
assignment by way of collateral of
S1tocks and provides for the transfer of
: title. The amendment to Section 2024
places the power of compelling the pro-
ductior of the books and papers with a
circuit judge instead of a court of
chancery. The amendment TO Section
2O27 provides that the Treasurer shall
not grant any charter which in its
terms may OF shall institute a monopoly
or grant perpetual charters except for
certain purposes. Several other amend
ments related to details of the laws
governing corporations.
Senate Bill No. 116 seeks to amend
various sections relating to the carry
ing on of business in the Territory by
foreign corporations and incorporated
companies. Both reports were adopt

CARTER AND
HIS SNEWDEAL
WILL TREAT THE FEES FOR CHI
NEsE CERTIFICATES AS Gov
URNMENT REALIZATIONS.

Secretary George r. Carter has inau-
gurated new system in the office OF
Secretary of the Territory, i'm the mat
ter of issuance Of Chinese certificates
Hereafter the Gees received for such
work win ne turned iu as government
ryalizatious. instead of being kept as q
ucrquisito Of the office.
The system i'm the past has been to
consider the certificate business as
apart from the public business OF the
office, and IL has been supposed to be
done outside of office hours. The fees
charged have been retained as per-
quisities OF the office the secretary
keeping part and the clerks part Car
ter has abolished this system, and viii
make the issuance of certificates part
of the regular duties of the office. and
turn in all the fees received as govern
ment realizauons.
The certificates given out are for
parents Of infants, showing the Ha-
waiiau birth of the latter and for cee-
titled copies of old records of natural
ization. Both are much valued by the
Chinese, as an aid In showing possible
claims to American citizenship. In
the future the certificates showing
birth mere on American soil may prove
of the highest value to some of the Chi
nese. The citizenship records also are
OF much value. There was one case
4of a Chinese who left here without
sufficient papers," said Secretary Car
ter, and who was arrested in Tucson,
Arizona. as unlawfullv in the United
States and it cost him about a thou
sand dollas and a term in Jail before
he could prove that he ought not to be
deported."
Carter is preparing new forms for the
certificates. one of them Is labelled
Certificate Of Naturalization and it
is claimed that this is more or less
misleading, as the secretary's Office has
not power to issue certificates of ma
turalization, but merely copies of the
records of former naturaliZations un-
der the monarchy and republic Of Ha-
wall
Under the new system it is also pro-
posed to require more eXacting proof
of naturalzations and birth. The Sc
cretary will take testimony and re-
ceive such aftidavits as are necessary
and satisfy himself of the genuiness of
the claims before. certificates are issued
Under the schedule of fees as decid-
ed upon, the certificates, with the va
rious necessary afTidavits, will cost the
Chinese about SO each. The amount
will be turned in to the public treasury
and the expense of issuing the certih-
Gates will be charged to incidentals.

TO Be LIGHTED
BY BACTERIA

NEW YORK. March 15.--A cable to
the Sun from Vienna says: Professor
Hans Molisch of Prague believes he has
discovered a use for bacteria. He has
communicated to the Vienna Academy
of Science the specifications of a min
ing lamp, in which bacteria supply the
light. The lamp consists of glass jar.
in which there is lining of sahpetre
and gelatine, previously inoculated
with bacteria. The latter develop in
numerably in two days, causing the jar
TO become Illuminated with a blush
green light. This lasts brilliantly for
several days gradually dimming until
it disappears in about a fortnight or
three weeks
Molisch says that the light is suit
able for mines and powder magazines
because it is cold and not dangerous.
Faces can be recognized by this light
for distance of two yards, and a large
type can be read by it.
