the old appropriation bills as still in
effect were the other alternatives.
At the conference it was de-
cided to cable to Prince Kuhio the De-
legate to Congress asking him to urge
Congress to ratify the County Act mea-
sure that is now before it. The ra-
vious Republican committees will, it is
understood, take similar action by ca
BILE.
Governor Carter will continue to
carry on the government under his
general powers as executive, and no
decision as to a permanent policy will
be made until Attorney General An
drews gives his opinion of the law.
The matter has been submitted to him.

Governor Carter and Secretary At
kinson met with oahu members of the
Senate at two this afternoon to dis
cuss what shall be done to carry on
the government under the new condi-
tions created by the county act deci-
sion. Besides the governor sand Sc
cretary, Senators Crabbe, Isen.berg,
Achi and Kalauokalani were present.
Senator Crabbe had with him reso-
luton passed last night by the Repub-
lican county committee, asking the
governor to request that Congress ra-
tify the county act, and this is one Of
the means of procedure that was dis
cussed at the meeting. An extra. ses-
sion of the legislature and accepting
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-01-14

Governor Carter called to order a very
representative assemblage in the. House
of Representatives hall this morning
shortly after nine o'clock asking for
expressions of views as to what should
be done to meet the difficulties caused
by the County Act decision Of yester-
day. An appeal to Congress, an extra
session of the Legislature for appro-
priations only, and falling back on the
old appropriation bills without calling
upon either congress or the Legislature
were the three general lines of policy
suggested.
A CONDITION, NOT A THEORY.
The contingency has arisen which
we have been fearing" said Governor
Carter, and we are face to face with
grave situation. My mind is not clear
as to the course to be pursued, as so
many questions arise in reference to the
situation. 1 do not feel in my mind
that any course l think Of is perfectly
safe and not open, perhaps not only to
criticism but to Legal difficulty. Feel
ing that way 1 thought it best to have
a gathering together of the thinking
men of the community, to secure indi-
vidual expressions of the opinions of
different men who have studied the
question and know the situation. 1 do
not desire any resolutions or motions
and there VIII not be an opportunity
for all to speak. but l thought it would
be a great benefit to have a public
gathering and hear the remarks Of
those who do speak. BY this method 1
| may not get definite conclusions, for
divisions may be varied and far apart.
Then the responsibility will be upon me
to decide and go ahead" Carter called
upon Ex-Governor Dole, remarling
that he had had more than anyone else
to do with thrashng out such difficult
ties. The questions were whether to
call the Legislature to pass a new coun-
I'ty act and how to p,oceed with finan-
ces during the hiatus, there being nc
appropriations for certain departments
JUDGE DOLE SPEAKS,
Dole said that he did not think there
was any course that could be adopted
! that was absolutely free from objeci
tion. "When Governor Kanoa was on
a lost schooner on the way from Kauai
to Oahu and there was a council to dis
cuss whether to try to reach Oahu OF
California, he said they had better &C
back to Kauai and start again. This
was good advice if it could have beer
followed. If the Supreme Court by yes
terday's decision has not put us bacl
precisely where we we're before it has
given the community a chance to con,
slider the whole question freely. 1t IL
a great opportunity which has now hat
experience in trying to get a county ac
into operation and working. We nov
have splendid chance to draft work
able act much superior to the one pass
ed.
Regarding the meantime it is prett!
clear to me that there is a section o
the Organic Act providing a way-Sec
tion 54, which reads as follows:
"Sec. 54. That in case of failure o
the legislature to pass appropriation
bills providing for payments of the ne
cessary current expenses of carrying ol
the government and meeting its lega
obligations as the same are provide,
for by the then existing laws, the gov

the government, in the event of the
legislature failing to pass new ones, Is
left with the treasurer and governor.
The Organic Act says that "the treas
urer may, with the advice of the COVER
nor" make payments from the last ap-
rropriation bills, until such time as the
legislature shall have acted.
This passes the proposition to the
treasurer. He is expected back from
Maui on Saturday. If he and the gov
ernor, or either of them, decide that
they cannot pay under the old bills,
there is said to be no way to avoid an
extra session, unless congress takes ae-
ton.

Snake Stories.

A lady living on the north side OF
Prince street, between Lee and Union,
was considerably startled yesterday
evening when she found snake about
thirteen inches long winding its way up
her sleeve. The lady had proceeded to
a tub where number of garments which
had been washed the previous day had
been placed. In taking the pieces from
the tub she felt something moving on
her sleeve and when she made an investi-
cation the reptile glided to the floor. The
snake was captured and placed in jar.
Yesterday afternoon while a young
lady was walking on the north side OF
Fayetle street, between King and Cam
eron, she barely escaped treading upon
a mocassin snake about as long as
walking cane. The ophidian had its
head and neck erect and was displaying
its fangs in an angry mood. The
startled young woman gave the snake a
wide berth and endeavOred to summon
some one of the other gender to kill the
reptile. In the meantime it made its
escape under house.
