committee said, as there are 1,200 to
1900 fish inspected daily and as there
are Chinese and japanese to deal with
such things could not be prevented.
The committee said it was very bad
policy to charge public servants with
misconduct unless there was the fullest
statement of facts. The report was
signed by Fernandez and Aylett, and
Kaniho objected because the full COM
mittee had not signed the report to
it's being accepted He moved to table
until the minority should report and
this motion carried by thirteen to
twelve. Chillingworth moved to dis
charge the committee but this was rul-

The report of the committee on I'm
migration agent. was submitted by Mr..
Long as heretofore published favoring
the item with the wording "Immigra-
tion Commissioner and Advertising
Agent 5000. Harris explained the item
as to it's full meaning and then Beckley
took the floor
BECKLEY CRIES RACE.
He said that he knew that there was
deliberate attempt to bring people
here to oppose the native Hawaiian
people, that such a commissioner would
simply work to fill up the country
with white people who would oppose
the votes of the people and would en-
deavor to control them. He said there
would be thousands Of soldiers located
at Moanalua and their votes would be
against the Hawaiians. When put right
on the soldier not voting, he said even
If they did not vote, there would be a
host of followers and they would vote.
Beckley declared he was not afraid
of strangers coming here, but he would
not favor sending away for more. He
said there had been n declaration that
no hack driver could sit in the Legis-
lature, and these people who made 1t
We're now striving to send their clerks
to the Legislature to do their will. He
grandiloquently referred to the honors
conferred on him but declared that he
recognized something that was n dan
ger to the people. Unless caution was
tn ha
conditions of 1898. He said that this
would be simply method of expressing
the people.
HARRIS URGES AMERICANISM.
Harris answered briefly. He said that
during the regular session there had
been passed a statehood resolution. The
greatest bar, he said, was the popula-
tion. This Territory, he said, could
support 100000 more people. All over
the United States there was n great in
crease in population. on the shores of
the two continents washed by the Paci-
fic ocean abide one-half the worlds
population. He asked if 1t was not
the best course to increase the popula-
tion, decrease the cost of government,
and induce the best citizenship to come
mere ne gave ISuTes 10 SHOW tHe
growth of the country and the necessi-
ty for good American citizens to come
here, SO that some day we could go to
the United States and ask for state
hood, showing the promise of good
American citizens
KANIHO WOULD BE NO MORE.
Kaniho said the plan was to open the
way to bring in strangers to take away
the power of those who live here. AS to
Harris contention that statehood could
come only with increased population, he
said, he was surprised at this, as there
had been States created with only 75,-
900 population, while Hawaii has 150,-
600. Il have been charged with bring
ing up the race question in connection
with the salary of the treasurer" he
said, IL do not bring this up as a race
question, but because think 1t is in the
interest of the people. We are here
as lawmakers, The duty is i'm our
hands let us keep il, If we open up our
hands the power Will fly away and we
will be powerless. IL we want to re-
ceiye strangers We can do so, but If we
do permit them to come 1t viii be like
