You SHALL says the Speaker.
II won't" says the Clerk. o.
That was about the status of things
in the House yesterday afternoon when
adjournment was taken. just In time
to prevent sensational row between
Speaker Holstein and Clerk Wise. The
Speaker had ordered the Clerk to have
the minutes, notes and records OF the
FIRST ten days of the session on his desk
At noon today ready to turn over to
the Printing Committee. The Clerk
did not refuse to do SO at that time,
only because a motion to adjourn was
made and carried before he had time
to say anything. but as soon as the
Speaker left the chair, Wise declared
cmphatically that he would not obey
the order. His ground Is that he is re-
sponsible for the records of the House
and has not authority TO turn them
over 10 anybody without a specific res
Olution being passed by the House di-
rcCting him to do so. He holds thai
the resolution adopted April author
iZing the Speaker TO employ clerks To
prepare the journal for printing con-
tains no clause authorizing the Clerk
10 surrender his minutes, and he does
not propose to do so until such reso-
rutiOn is passed The resolution di-
reCting the Speaker to have the Journal
prepared for printing is as follows:
Therefore, BE II Resolved by the
House OF Representatives Of the Ter
ritory Of Hawaii that the Speaker shall
he authorized, with the approval of the
chairman OF Committee on Accounts
and Printing, to employ extra clerk OF
clerks who shall prepare for printing
the Journal of the House of Represeli-
tatives of 1907. To call for bids foi
such printing and binding and to i'm.
mediately proceed To complete said
work.
The trouble between the Speaker
and the Clerk came following ola the
reading by the former of an article IL
the Bulletin of last night In which Il
was stated that the friends of the
Clerk claim that he has been ignored
by the Speaker and the Printing ant
Accounts Committee in regard to tn,
printing Of the House Journal.
The Speaker read this article to tn,
House himself, andOthen stated that h,
/ believed II To have been Inspired
though he did not know the atStudC
of Clerk Wise In the matter.
He said that the cost Of the Hous,
Journal last session was over $4,000
! This year bids had been called for anC
If the rranslating can be done for $40,
and the proofreading and typewritin,
for $500, he believed the Journa
could be printed for at least SllO0 les
than last time. The only time wher
the Clerk receives authority to prin
the journal, continued the Speaker. l.
when he Is authorized by resolution
to do so. Heretofore II has been tn,
custom for the House to pass such
resolution some time during the ses
sion. Al the beginning of the sessio,
the Speaker said that this was to be al
economical, business-like session. |
the Journal can be printed for $3.50,
less than last year. II should be doEo
The Speaker then gave the order &
the Clerk to have his records ready {,
turn over at noon today.
As soon as Speaker Holstein had fin
ished, Kaleiopu jumped up and start
ed on personal attack on the Bul
letin and its representative In tn
House. Il don't believe that ariici
emanated from the Clerk" he said. 81

make attacks on me ana other mem
bers of the House and | think II woul
