The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1903-06-19
HOUSE BOUND BY RESOLUTION.

itself by a resolution to accept the
reports from the islands and, IL now
the resolution is thrown aside, and the
report from one island reconsidered
the entire basis of the action is des-
troyed and the work under the reso-
luton is thrown away by the House.
Vida said he agreed with the chair
that the resolution was binding but he
did not think there was anything in
1t which would prevent reconsideration.
He said the members who inserted the
Manoa item went outside their bounds
when they put 1t in. as there had been
twelve votes in the delegation against
1t. He said that as chairman he knew
that nothing had been done with res
pect to Manoa and he thought the men
who put in the item did so without
authority.
Kumalae said he had worked for
$4,000 for Kewalo street but he could
not find the item in the bill but he
did find Manoa roads $4,000. Aylett de-
clared he did not know of the valley
road items until he saw them printed
and he knew they were not voted in in
committee. He thought 1t was secret
1t. Fernandez said he was opposed to
opening the door for reconsideration as
all reports might be so treated. He said
when Harris made the report no one
objected from Oahu, and he thought
that the complaint came too late. He
opposed reconsideration.
Chillingworth said he endorsed Fer
nandez; 1t was no time to delay the
bill. He said the Oahu men should
get together and decide on the items
and IL the majority of the delegation
should vote to strike out the item, he
would so cast his vote. Third reading
offered ample opportunity he said to
rectify any error. The pledge to leave
the distribution to the island delega-
tions kept him from questioning some
items, and so he had left the matters
as reported by the various island mem
bers. He said time would be saved and
urged such action.
KELIINOI STANDS FIRM.
Keliinoi was called to the chair and
in response to Kumalae said he in
troduced the resolution sending the
various prorated appropriations to the
island delegations, and he considered
that this bound the House to ac ,eot
the reports from those delegations.
Kumalae continued his argument on
the appeal. Andrade who left the
chair, said a question of personal priv
ilege caused him to rise. The attack
was on a Manoa item. He argued that
he had right to secure an appropria-
ion.
He said that he and Harris were
talking at the door when Mr.. Vida
came along. He (Andrade) had been
with Harris to prepare a re-
port. Mr.. Vida then came along, he
said, and Mr. Harris asked him to pre-
pare the report and Mr.. Vida told Mr..
Harris to prepare the report. Vida in
terrupted here to declare that the
statement was false. Andrade con-
.inued that he had heard those words
md could not see how conscentiously
Mr.. Vida could make any other state
nent. Vida adhered to his statement that
10 such conversation ever took place,
md with the question of veracity I'M
ettled the argument was suspended SO
hat the noon recess might be taken.
ANDRADE Is ovERRULED.
The roll call was had on the appeal
rom the decision of the chair on the
,oint of order. Immediately upon reas-
embling. The chair was not sustained

Immediately there was a storm OF
Chillingworth moved to re-
onsder all reports, Vida moved to re-
er the Oahu report back, Keliinoi to
econsider Oahu's report alone, and AZ
er an exciting moment, the vote was
by vote of fourteen to
Beckley refusing to vote.

tent was referred back to the commit
,e of Oahu members Keliinoi amend
