THE RECESS
NOMINATIONS
Senator'S Fail to Confirm
New Board OF Ed
uCation.

iy motion for a recess offered by Ka-
lama, the peacemaker.
The trouble was over how much
should be told of what had been done
in executive session. and how much
should be buried in the breasts of the
gentlemen who have sworn to serve
the public-in the public eye. The Sen
ate had gone into executive session as
soon as the regular order was reached,
on the consideration of the Governors
recess appointments. The session last
ed almost until noon, and judging by
the sounds that fioated out through
the screen door, was at times rather
warm. Anyway, the Senators came
out of it somewhat flushed and with
no very clear knowledge of what they
should do.
Achi. however, had a good idea of
what he wanted to do, and as soon as
the doors were opened moved that the
work of the executive session should be
taken up and confirmed.
Il object" shouted Bishop. Those
nominations are already confirmed
what have been confirmed. The others
are not. If we take this thing up now,
we destroy the secrecy of the execu-
tive session
"All right" said Achi Il withdraw
my motion"
This left the Senate literally up in
the air. Nobody seemed to know what
to do. There was a lot of discussion,
in the midst of which Dickey moved
that all recess nominations be confirm
ed. He was hooted down with a cheer
full unanimity that may have had some
thing of the aftermath of the fight be-
hind closed doors in it, perhaps.
Finally, on the suggestion of the
President. Dowsett moved that the
proceedings of the executive session,
so far as they related to the confirm
taken up and reaffirmed.
THAT is out of ORDER shouted Achi
jumping to his feet.
sit down. snapped the President.
II rise to make a point of order"
insisted Achi.
land 1 order you to sit down." re-
peated the President
You have no right to order me to
sit down until 1 have made my point, .
Achi said
II have the right to order you to sit
down until I have stated the motion, -
answered President Isenberg.
Then Achi sat down while the mo-
ton was stated, but was on his feet
and stating his point of order almost
as soon as the words We're out of the
Presidents mouth. You are destroy
ing the secrecy of the executive ses-
sion,'' he said, and was going on to
say a lot more, when Kalama moved
the recess until o'clock, and the SEN
ate carried it almost with a whoop.
At the afternoon session all traces of
the storm had passed, and Achi pre-
scented the following resolution, which
BE it resolved by the Senate of the
Territory of Hawaii:

Waii through message (No. 81 dated the
