TELLS THE SHERIFF
TO Do HIS DUTY
THE HOUSE ADOPTS A RESOLU-
TION PRACTICALLY ONE OF
CENSURE.

Broad introduced resolution to au-
thoI ,ze the High Sheriff to employ
four special policemen to work in Iwi-
lei, their pay to come from the Def
cheney bill.
Broad stated that there was throuble
almost approaching a riot in Iwilei
last night among Japanese and SOL
diers from the transports. No police
could be found.
Sheldon endorsed this He said that
a man who conducts a business in that
locality had been forced to close up
for the riot which took place. This
man had gone to the High Sheriff who
had simply said that he could not do
anything as the Legislature had taken
Paul Smith away from him and he
could not preserve order in Iwilei any
more. This man had then gone to the
Attorney Generals department but
was told that that department had no
control over the High Sheriff. He re-
commended a joint resolution asking
the High Sheriff to explain his gross
neglect of duty in not preserving the
peace in Iwilei
Fernandez moved an amendment to
the effect that the High Sheriff be in
structed to do his duty in Iwilei If
the High Sheriff refused to do this it
would be within the right of the house
to cut off his salary.
The amendment carried unanimously.

Continued on page 81
AWAY FROM THE TERRIFIC Y.

County Act to stand as it vas passed.
Hawaii has issued bonds and pledges
her credit as a Territory to meet the
bonds, based upon her revenues from
taxes. The County Act placed her in
the position of Immediately giving up
those revenues and leaving the bond
holders high and dry, it is claimed, for
as a legal proposition the bondholders
would have no recourse against the
counties according to some legal au-
thorities. The bond-holders therefore
would have had as their only recourse
proceedings against a Territorial treas
ury which was collecting no revenue.
1t is claimed that to bring about such
state of affairs would be virtually an
act of bad faith on the part of the Ter
ritOry.
Other amendments of the county law
are being talked of. One is to make
the act go into effect next January in
stead of next June. In the Legislature
generally there is a strong impression
that the whole bill is make" The
opposition of the governor it is thought
will prevent any county measure going
into effect at all.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-04-14

Governor Carters objections to the
County Act are to be met by passing
laws to amend the act, so that it will
not take the collection of revenues en-
trely out of the hands of the Territory
and place it in the hands of the coun-
ties, if the members of the Senate have
their way. Yesterday afternoon sew
eral members of the Senate had inter-
views with Treasurer Campbell and
others, in which the Governors mes
sage was discussed, and it appeared
that the concensus of opinion was that
the objections stated in the veto mes
stge were well taken, and vital to the
interests of the Territory.
Senator Dlckey began the prepara-
ton of an act to repeal the section Of
the County Act which places the col
lections of revenues in the hands of the
county officials, and to place it in the
hands of Territorial officials, a propor-
ton to be turned over to the counties.
This, it is claimed, will preserve the
Territorial credit as far as the bond
issue is concerned
The Territory would be in a peculiar
position, it is claimed, if it allowed the

SENATE AND

AFTER DEBATE DURATION THE SENATE BY
A VOTE OF ELEVEN TO COUNTY BILL
OVER GOVERNORS THEREBY MAKING IT THE

At the opening of the session this
morning, the Senate was informed that
the governor had signed several bills,
none of them of great Importance. And
the House notified the Senate that it
had overriden the governors veto OF
the county act.
Dickey offered a resolution, which
carried, giving the clerk authority to
correct all grammatical and photographic
cal errors in the minutes in preparing
them for publication.
Consideration of the governors veto
of the county act was next in order,
as unfinished business, and Bishop
moved to defer action until the after
moons session. The motion was lost
10 to 3.
Then Achi moved that the bill pass
despite the veto. Paris got the floor
after the motion was put and said that
the Senate was confronted with a pecu-
liar situation. The Senators were

would end most of the pilikia.

The shutting off of water at night
and stoppage of irrigation on account
of the drought have caused a howl in
Honolulu, and complaints are very
general. Lawns are suffering for want
of water and in some parts of the city
there is great inconvenience to house

1t is said that the whole trouble could
be averted by the use of the pump

pledged to county government, but If
this bill was passed over the governors
veto, was the Senate giving the people
county government? He thought not.
The bill las it stood, was a mere hollow
pretense. County government without
money to carry it out, amounted to
nothing. This BILL as conditions were,
was not worth the paper it was written
on. In supporting the veto of the
governor, he thought he was truer to
his pledge and to the people than gen.
tlemen who would deceive the people
with shell. He was willing to take
the consequences of his act.
Dickey admitted that the county act
as it stood, was waste paper, bur it
was the duty of gentlemen who were
pledged to county government to pass
laws that would make the county act
operative. He thought mistake had

JAPANESE GOVERNMENT REDUCING

TO LESS THAN A HUNDRED" INSTEAD HUNDRED
FORMERLY.

According to report received by the
steamer Korea yesterday, the Japanese
Government has made an order re-
stricting the number of Japanese who
may embark for Hawaii on any one
steamer to less than a hundred" in
stead of five hundred as the rule has
been up to this time. The Korea
brought only about sixty Japs the
smallest number to come here on a
steamer for some time. The rule is said
to have gone into effect on April 1,
which would account for the small
number to take passage on the Korea.

anese immigration is believed to have
influenced the Japanese Government in
taking the action it has taken. 1t is
not an entirely new proceeding, as the
Toxic Government has frequently
changed it's rule in the matter and has
made the limit as low as a hundred on
previous occasions. The enforcement
of such a rule at this time, however is
believed to have been occasioned by the
fact that Japanese from Hawaii are
going to California in large numbers,
and causing a danger of serious Ameri-
can agitation for a Japanese exclusion
law.
