that advertisements be printed also In

He said there were two newspapers

uously and at length against the bill
He didn't mind the idea Of big bunch
of immigrants being acquired. togeth.
or with their poll taxes, by the Terri
tory. but he wanted to know what i'm
migrants were going to do when they
got here.

in the House for the face OF the man

a similar bill. but Beckley was not
there. He called upon the Hawaiian

afraid OF II.
During the speeches Of Kaleiopu and
Kaniho the Speaker several times had
to rap with his gavel and draw atten'
ton to the fact that no quorum was
present. Numerous members were en-.
joying the cool Of the evening on the
yerandas. They were called in every
now and then.
Rep. Kalino made a warm talk for
changing the estate liabilities bill. He
did not think It was right that the
Federal Government and the Territory

taken into consideration. According
TO the bill the United States and the
Territory claims and reasonable funer.
OIL expenses are deducted before the
widow and children get anything.
At 1910 the House adjourned until
this morning, an effort to adjourn until
p. m. today proving futile.
