LOADED THE TABLE.
Kaluna's bill appropriating $4,000. for
the pay of coroner's juries was tabled
on report of Judiciary committee. The
same fate overcame Rawlins' act to
prevent cruelty to children, which is
covered by bill of the same tenor in
the Senate. The table was also the
place for Correa's bill respecting the
age of consent. Sheldon's House Bill
No. 2 met the same fate the Senate
having dealt with the matter. This
was to increase Jurors pay to SO a day
and mileage.

the report to table was because of a
lack of funds in counties, but he had
also been told that the revenue produce
ing matters were to be turned over to
the counties. when there would be plen.
ty of money available. Jurors and
witnesses needed fees and he therefore
urged recommitment of the bill until 1t
could come back favorably reported.
Rawlins thought that Kaluna. the
father of the BILL was showing a poor
idea of parental feeling in wanting to
foist responsibility for his measure up
on the Judiciary committee.
Sheldon said he thought 1t the duty
of a community to deal with its own
calamities. In coroners' cases there
was not the hardship on jurors and
witnesses as in criminal cases for in
no instances did they have to go far to
perform their duties. The sound think
ing members could see where things
were going. An attempt was being
made to pay witnesses in criminal
cases, increase Jurors pay and now pay
coroners' Jurors. The House must go
slow in such matters. The report of
the committee was adopted.

ing past eighteen months, showing
