the bill be tabled was adopted by the
House without comment, but with ev-
ident satisfaction. Once more the
House gets back at the Senate.
POUND BILL VETOED
The Governors message vetoing
the Pound bill was received and read.
On motion of Rice the veto was plac-
ed on the calendar for 2 o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon.
WILL REPORT LIQUOR BILL
Rawlins, chairman of the special
committee to which was referred Sem
ate Bill 81, the Liquor bill, made an
oral report, asking five days further
time in which to consider the bill.
Hughes objected. He said he knew
the committee would do the best It
could, but the bill was an important
one. and he thought the House ought
to-have more time to consider it.
Rawlins stated that the committee
is meeting three times day, and that
II asked for FIVE days only as mat
ter of form. 1t was probable that the
bill would be reported Monday after
noon.
In consideration of the fact that
the Senate held the bill for Al days
and the House has had II only five
days, the Speaker thought Rawlins'
request reasonable one. and 1t was
granted.
ELECTRICITY BILL
Pail introduced n bill to authorize
and provide for the manufacture,

RAWLINS INDIGNANT
Rawlins wanted to know what had
become of his bill relating to the gen.
Grafton of electricity. Castro. chair
man of the Agricultural Committee,
replied that the committee did not
fully understand some features of It.,
Rawlins Indignantly stated that he
had been in the House every day and
as matter of courtesy the commit
tee should have called him before IL
to explain any points 1t did not un-
dcrstand. Castro promised to report
the bin Monday.

LIMITATION OF ACTION
House Bill 223, limiting the time

well-worn Joke In the House. The

CAPTAIN RIICb|E i

Keys to Lock Garye's

Capt. Richie, formerly In command
of the British ship Loeb Carve. which
went ashore on Molokai n few weeks
ago and who has been removed from
his position by court of inquiry
when sustained charges that he was
frequently drunk while In command Of

In charge of the ship.
When Richie refused To give up the
keys to the ships stores the matter
was laid before the British Acting Con-
sui who authorized Clement To break
open any locks which were In the way,
and this has been done. Acting as he
has will not benefit Ritchie's case be-
tore the British Board of Trade.
who will go out as captain of the
Loeb Carve has not yet been decided,
though Mate Clement Is not at all
backward about making the statement
tndt Ht VIII. nc OWUtlS VI tnt Siiil
have authorized the local agents oI
Lloyd's to appoint a captain and they
stated this morning that no decision
had yet been made. Clements name is
under consideration but II seems like
ly that Capt, Rouse, OF this city, may
be the man TO get the position.
Rouse has only one thing TO prevent
him from taking the command Of the
Loeb Carve. That Is that he has beer
naturaIzed as an American citizen
He was born British subject and OBJ
tanned masters papers from the Co
lonial authorities but since that tim,
has changed his allegiance and Thu,
fact may debar him. The matter IL
now being considered by the British
Consul,
Another manner In which the va
canoy can be filled is for Capt. Connie
of the Cableshlp Restorer, TO reloaS'
one az hiG officers from his contrac
and allow him to take the position
There is u possibility that this ma!
be done, The decision win probabl!

JAPANESE IS killed

Last night at about 1880 at Moiliili

for the Honolulu Undertaking Co., was
run over by Rapid Transit car and
instantly killed. He was lying
across the track when the car came
along at high rate Of speed and ran
over his body before It could be
stopped.
The japanese evidently had been
walking along by the car track and
had been taken with NJ of some kind
and fell across the tracks, There was
no sign that he had been drinking.

II Is astonishing what an industrious,
Woodworking lot of friends some OF the
legislators have--the aforesaid friends
being all servants of the public and
drawing their salaries from the public
treasury. Discussion over the salary
appropriation bill has disclosed the
fact, that the Territorial work shop Is
q regular hive OF industry-so far as
the minor employees are concerned. 1t
is only the heads of departments who
ought to have their salaries cut, be-
cause they have nothing to do but sit
In their chairs all day and smoke Gig
ars-smoEing cigars seems to be the
one great expression Of slothfulness
and insolent complacency. The jan
itors and stcnographers and clerks, to-
gether with such minor officials as
country district magistrates, are the
ones who hold the government to Its
foundations and prevent the social
fabric from falling to pieces. They
are the ones who should be paid the
good salaries. And so the House would
lop $50 OF the salary Of the depart
ment head and boost u few lesser serv-
ants of the government $40 or $50 or
$50 apiece.
Thus la economy practiced.

SHELDON'S LAUNDRY


from the Governor announcing his
refusal to sign Senate Bill &c, maxi
ing II necessary for any person or
corporation to get the permission of
the Supervisors to dig or excavate
any public road. Consideration of
the veto was deferred to Wednesday.
> TROUBLESOME LAUNDRY
BILL
A laundry bill is usually an object
of much vexation and trouble. Shell
don's laundry bill, House Bill 22S,
was no exception to the rule. Raw
Inns picked the obvious flaw in It and
went after II vigorously. 1T looks
to me-" he said, "as II this bill were
in the interests OF the steam laun-
dries. II 1t is, I am going to vote
against 1t. have a right 10 have my
clothes ironed by hand"
Sheldon denied that the bill was
drafted for the purpose of protecting
certain steam laundries, but because
the sanitary condition of the Iwilei
laundries is so bad that they ought
to be abolished.
Kaniho moved the indefinite post
ponement of the bill. 1T appears to
me-" he said, ito require the use of
machinery by anyone entering the
laundry business. Most of those now
engaged in the business would be
knocked out and the prices now
charged for laundry work would be
greatly increased"
Kaleiopu was also of the opinion
that the bill was drafted In favor of
the steam laundry firm and against
the Chinese. The objection to the
latter, he said, that they sprinkled
clothes by blowing the water out OF
their mouths, no longer applies, as
they have discontinued the practice.
Furthermore, the bill would put
out of business Il large number OF
women who wash for a living.
Sheldon tried again to make out a
case for his bill. He called attention
TO the assiduous efforts of the Legis.
lature to look after the health of Ho-
nolulu. and claimed once more that
that the Iwilei laundries are losing
proposition to the Territory.
KanihO made another characters.
tic speech which added nothing to the
information of the other members
Kaleiopu moved the previous ques'
| tion. Carried.
Rawlins offered some amendments
One was to cut out He clause re-
curing application for permit to b'
accompanied by map or plan OF tho
heating appliances. The general in
tent of the amendments was to allow
the establishment of other than steam
laundries. The amendments wer,
adopted. Rawlins moved that thu
bill pass as amended
Hughes had an amendment. III
moved to make the license fee So in
stead of $25. Carried. lie also NOV
ed to reduce the maximum penalt,
ilom 500 to $40.
Rawlins thought this ridiculous
you might as well knock out all tn,
rest of the bill" he said. Such ;
penalty is an invitation to break tn
law" The amendment carried,
4 After an hour of debate on tn,
measure vote was finally taken an,
the bill was showed under by unan

vote for the amended bill.

This twenty-nine million dollar fine

But this Is nothing to become eXces-
sively ecstatic over. What assurance
does this give that the trust will he

back TO one trust which today is pro
ceeding to fight the fine with such con
fidence as indicates the big corporation
has a scheme whereby it can play
safe. 1t has been violating the law
for 4 long time, and has considered Il
right and proper to do whatever Was
customary and as many other trusts
were doing. Even in this rebate OF
Tense. the oil trust is not alone. II was
the oil trust secured rebates who
granted them? Those who grant re-
bates are equally guilty with those
who secure them. 1t is said
the Chicago d Alton road will be pro.
ceeded against and probably be the re-
cipient of one of Judge Landis' fines.
But even this will be only a spasmod;o

sympathy or otherwise mourning fOy

In this country. instead of making a
provision for the safety of crossings.
it has been the rule for any railway to
cross any other railway or any high
