Senator Dowsett introduced reso-
luton which carried, that when an
adjournment is taken it shall be until
10 a. m. the next working day.
1t was a few minutes before twelve
when the message was received, so the
Senate took a recess until p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
There was not minute spared when
President Bishop raped for order for
the afternoon session. The absence of
several of the members had no effect
upon the proceedings and there was no
| evident desire for delay. Assistant Sec
rotary Lyman was called upon for his
| first hard stunt, that of reading before
a body of strangers the message of
Governor Carter.
/ For a full hour the young man
tugged away and all went well without
attracting notice until several lines OF
Hawaiian were encountered As Ly-
man is native and to the mahor born,
the words fell trippingly from his
tongue so that his reading caused Sem
ator Dowsett TO sit up and t;ake notice
and something was heard about omit
ting the ''limericks.'' In the absence
of an audience and the fact that each
member had a copy of the message
surprise was felt that the document
was not read by first and last para
graphs. If there was suggestion to
that effect it was not acted upon and
Mr.. Lyman read from cover to cover
without interruption, even by a yawn.
At three o'clock the reading was
completed and the message passed
without comment. Senator Coelho then
introduced the following petitions:
From ia voters on Molokai, residing
at the Leper Settlement, praying for:
The admission of pure and good liQ-
uor into the settlement.
That ]. Lor Wallach be permitted to
enter the settlement for the purpose Of
treating the lepers with his. medicines.
That the annual monetary allowance
of the iepers be increased from ten to
sixteen dollars.
That the laborers at the settlement
be paid from s1.0O per day upwards.
That the sum of $4,000 be appropriate
ed for the pay of police of the county
of Kalawao.
That an appropriation be made for
postage stamps for the free use of the
lepers.
The second petition was from the
settlement and in character resembled
the first in some respects. The prayer
for the increase in the allowance car
ried a rider that it be in cash, not in
goods.
A protest was entered against the
admission of J. Lor Wallach to the
settlement to treat lepers.
A request is made that, where lep-
er mas a wife or husband who is not
leper, he or she be allowed to reside
at the settlement as kokua.
The final prayer is that goods or
merchandise sold at the settlement to
lepers be at cost and not at a profit.
The papers were filed with the health
committee.
Senator Lane moved the adoption of
the following concurrent resolution,
which unanimously carried.
BE il Resolved by the Senate and |
House of Representatives of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii:

Senator Coelho introduced a resolu- |
ton calling for an appropriation for |
the construction of a breakwater at
Kalaupapa. Adoption was moved. |
when Senator Smith remarked that, |
while he heartily approved of any |
measure that was for the benefit of the |
settlement. he thought this was one
which should first go to the Public !
Lands Committee, The introducer |
stated that when the present break |
water. or what is left of it. was con- |
struCted. it was at a place against the |
advice of the superintendent. 1t was |
no use and a new one is badly need |
