SENATE DOES NOT CONCUR.
A communication from the Senate
Informed the House that the members
of the Senate did not see eye to eve
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 go.
SPENDERs IN SENATE.
A communication was sent the
! Speaker from the Secretarys office re-
garding the Federal appropriation. on
which the House has drawn I'D TO yes
terday morning for s123s.O1 and the
Senate for s1236.35. This indicates that
| in the race the little Senate is keeping
stride with the bigger House and maxi
Ing close race for the money.
Afternoon Session.
With smallpox and leprosy for
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 number of small items in
Senate Bill 36, 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 catechlsm, Kaniho re-
fused to stop talking, hurting defiance
at Chairman Joseph OF the committee
of the whole. He said that he did not
want to consult Pinkham at all, but
wanted to strike out the amounts with
tut 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
fly on carriage wheel who thought
he was raising all The dust.
HAS this House any sense of deem
cy?" demanded Hughes. Here we
have passed items totaling over TWEEN
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 of
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
careessness of that department. Rice
tried once or twice to stem the tide of
oratory, while Long and Kaleiopu also
took hand, both critcizing the items
and expressing the fear that to pay
them would create a dangerous prece-
dent.
Pinkham finally got hearing and
|
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
p |
sary to fumigate at once.
when you have plague to deal with
there is no time to stop and discuss
he said in conclusion.
The items were finally passed by a
vote of fourteen to twelve, the closest
vote yet recorded this session.
DIVISION OF THE GRANT.
A concurrent resolution signed by
Rice and Hughes was adopted subject
to the consent of the Senate, dividing
the Federal appropriation of $4,000 be-
tween the House and Senate on the
basis of one-third for the Senate and
for the House.
