SENATE DOES NOT CONCUR.
A communication from the Senate
Informed the House that the members
of the Senate did not see eye to eye
with them in the matter of amend
ments to Senate Bill 80, which pro-
vides for the right of an unregistered
voter to vote upon filing an affidavit.
A comforting committee of Chilling
worth, Coelho and Smith had been
named to further consider the matter,
to meet whom the Speaker named
Rawlins, Pail and Mahoe.
Another communication announced
the passing of the third reading in the
Senate of House Bills Nos. 4 and 60.
SPENDERS IN SENATE.
A communication was sent the
Speaker from the Secretarys office re-
garding the Federal appropriation, on
which the House has drawn up TO yes
| terday morning for S123S.O1 and the
Senate for s123e.35. This indicates that
in the race the little Senate is keeping

Afternoon Session.
| With smallpox and leprosy for a
morning diet the House most appropri-
ately discussed plague during the
greater part of the afternoon. This
subject was brought forward by the in
sertion of a number of small items in
Senate Bill SO, making additional ap-
preparations of $56,S61.44, gone over in
committee of the whole in the House.
The small items were for payment for
stock damaged during fumigation of a
block on Bishop lane and amounted all
told to less than $3.50, but to explain
them President Pinkham was summon
ed and examined. After Pinkham had
appeared on the floor OF the House and
was ready for catech1sm, Kaniho re-
fused to stop talking, hurting defiance
at Chairman Joseph or the committee
of the whole. He said that he did not
want to consult Pinknam at all. but
wanted to strike out the amounts with
cut any explanations. He was entitled
to hold the floor for thirty minutes and
intended to assert his rights.
He was called down hard by Hughes.
who said that the honorable gentle
man from Kohala reminded him of a
fly on carriage wheel who thought
he was raising all the dust.
Has this House any sense of decen-
cy?' demanded Hughes. Here we
have passed items totaling over twen-
ty-five thousand dollars with a whoop,
then start in to debate over little three
dollar items sent in by the head of one
of the best managed departments 81
the government. Let us act like men
of sense, like men who know the value
of things and not like irresponsible
creatures. Mr.. Pinkham is here wait
ing to be heard, for Heavens sake give |
the man a chance to explain
kaniho refused to take the hint, how
ever, and he was backed up in this by
MahOe. He thought that the Board !
of Health ought to pay these bills, |
which must have been run through the |
carelessness of that department. Rice |
tried once or twice to stem the tide of |
oratory, while Long and Kalefopu also |
took a hand. both criticizing the items |
and expressing the fear that to pay
them would create a dangerous prece-
dent
Pinkham finally got a hearing and
explained that the bills were for dam
aged stock, damaged through no fault
of the man in charge of the fumiga-
ton. He had gone into the matter
and found that the bills were correct.
having turned down some bills pre-
scented as a sWindle on the Territory
and refusing to consider others because
the shops of the ones presenting them
did not conform to the rules of the
Board of Health It had been neces-
sary to fumigate at once
When you have plague to deal with
there is no time to stop and discuss
technicalities, he said in conclusion.
The items We're finally passed by a
vote Of fourteen to twelve, the closest
vote yet recorded this session
