HOUSE DECIDES TO WAIT
WITH THE LOAN BILL

IOCcupE at iSdSl TIVE -lOuT nun - mon
ing it necessary that there be early
agreement if it is TO be expected that
the bill will be sent to the Governor
in time for his signature.
The Japanese interpreter item was
the first thing brought up at the aft
ernoon session, McCandless proposing
that the House take its advance on the
Molokai judge, giving the Senate the
$500 salary for the interpreter. Baldwin
called attention to the necessity for a
! good man in the position, reciting the
facts in connection with the recent
! japanese case on Maui when Doyle had
to be sent for to handle the evidence.
| There was a discussion over the pres
ent rate of pay of the interpreter, Ku-
malae insisting that he now gets only
SIPS month from the courts, others
taking the position that the interpreter
has been getting s25 from the police
funds as well. Greenwich insisted that
the man should not be regarded but the
position.
Vida moved that the salary be cut
Z, to 1894. This was to cut down the price
below 500, so that Doyle could draw
Doyle was getting two salaries, saying
that Brown had denied this, he like
wise said that there could be no cut
ting below the two figures fixed by the
| two houses. The chair ruled the Vida
motion OUT of order.
McCandless moved his compromise
but he could not secure more than three
! House votes. Baldwin moved COM
promise at $50, but he had no sup
! Port. After some argument Kalauoka-
ian. moved to strike out the item en-
tirely, saying too much time was being
wasted over this item. Kupihea said
| the House had no feeling against
Doyle, but simply voted to cut him
down because he could only interpret
and could not translate.
COMPROMISES ARE REJECTED.
Woods proposed that the Senate
would recede from its position on the
Japanese interpreter if the House
would recede on the striking out of the
Assistant Superintendent of Public
Works. Kumalae said he would put in
the item if the words provided 1T is
not Marston Campbell" Senator Bald
win said he had never heard of such
legislation. The necessity for assist
ance to the superintendent was abso-
lutte, and he continued, that it would
not be wise to pass a loan bill without
providing such competent assistance.
He said that the legislative branch
should not intrude upon the Executive.
In all his years he had never heard of
such a rider being put into a bill, and
he did not think there should be dicta-
ton as to under officials.
Senator Paris said he thought the
l 70 cola
attempt to dictate as to the employ
ment of subordinates. He suggested
that there be a compromise at $40 on
the Japanese interpreter. The vote
came on Senator Woods's proposal and
| it was defeated and Immediately there
was made a motion to adjourn, and re-
port to the two houses that It was i'm
possible to agree and ask for another
conference.
Kupihea objected to adjournment de-
claring that he felt that there must
be an agreement today if it was to be
hoped that there would be any passing
of the appropriation bills. The loan bill
must go through, he said, but it could
not be passed without the general APP
preparation bills going through. He
said that Saturday should not be
counted; that the bills should be passed
on Friday.
ADJOURN WITHOUT AGREEMENT.
The majority of the Senators voted to
adjourn. but the four House members
who had refused all compromises worII
not vote to adjourn, there being nine
votes for adjournment.
The bill still has nine items in dis
pute. These are the Japanese inter
prefer; district magistrate Molokai:
Assistant Superintendent of Public
Works; clerks in office of Assistant
superintendent: superintendent of
Public instructions; Assistant Secretary
and School Agent for Honolulu; First
Assistant in Survey Office; Auditor;
Deputy Auditor.
The major portion of the other diff
ferences were agreed to at a meeting
held Yesterday morning
