THE SENATE.

THE SENATE.
The Senators yesterday. Dickey alone
dissenting, passed on second reading
the McCandless Sunday law, which has
now become known as the Woods Sun
day law, because of its reference to
and its reformation" by a special
committee headed by Palmer Woods.
the only Democrat in the Senate. The
| bill, as II was introduced, allowed
everybody to do everything. AS 1t was
| pa sed on second reading 1t permits
nearly everybody to do nearly every
| thing.
'the bill in the discussion of its pro-
visions, was amended SO as to permit
fresh fruit and vegetables to be sold
all day on Sunday. Meat, however,
cannot be sold after 9 a. m. notwith-
standing the fact that in moving to
,ake off the tabu McCandless said that
he himself had bought meat at a place
opposite the Oahu depot last Sunday
afternoon. And perhaps that is
pointer for the High Sheriff.
| Dickey strove to have the bill so
amended that none of the things allow
ed to be done under it could be done
in such way as to disturb the peace
| and quiet of those who desired quiet
| .unday, but this failed. 1t was, how
ever, provided that no game or amuse-
ment could be carried on in such a way
as to disturb the peace and quiet of
others. And Dickey's amendment to
forbid charging admission to Sunday
| tic vote
with the President deciding. The bill
will be read for the third time today.
| ACCOUNTS COMMISSION.
The days proceedings opened with
the following message from the Gov
ernor, accompanying the report of the
Accounts Commission:

The report of the Commission was
ordered printed.
The House informed the Senate that
. it had discharged it's County Act Com
mittee, and as chairman of the Senate
, members Dowsett asked that they be
likewise discharged. This carried, and
later along la the day, the various
county bills, which the committee re-
turned to the Senate, were all laid on
{ the table to be taken up at a future
, time, it being the understanding that
they will be lifted after the House has
taken some kind of action on the sub
: ject This includes the County Bill
itself, the Commission Bill, and the
Achi bills for little counties and fol
the election of road overseers, as wei
as the bill relating to the manner o.

j. mitted to this committee.
SITS UPON THE HOUSE.
And then the Senate proceeded to ad
minister a little discipline to the junior
: branch. The passage by the House o.
its own bill, No. rs, was reported, ant
on motion of Dickey. strongly second
ed by Dowsett, consideration was post
poned until tomorrow to give the Hous,
|. a chance to reconsider the measure 1
/ II wanted to. This had reference to thu
e request from the House few days ag'
: to draw back bill on reconsideration
n after 1t had passed first reading in reg
ular course in the Senate. Achi mad
s fight against the procedure, but 1
q went, just the same. and similar &C
I ton was taken with reference to tw'
], other bills that came up from thu
u House. House Bill "a, the one just ask
: ed for. was returned to the House al

The Senate in fact. was in some
& what censorious humor, for later in thu
= day a communication was received
a from the clerk of the Board of Educa
4 ton containing some information re
= quested as 10 the pay Oh SCHOOL ledch
ers and agents, and it was ordered re
e turned on motion of Achi, because

d body. The Department of Education
: should be up to date"
