SENATE HAS
GOOD DAY
sr,yArg- THIRTY SIXTH DAY.


Keeping everlastingly at il brings
success i'm business. as well as in doing
things in the Legislature. Senator
Smith had tried several amendments TO
the married women teachers bill and
failed. Yesterday Senator Lane pro
posed one identical with one pro-
posed by the senior Senator from oahu
and it was accepted without the shght'
est objection from the father of the
bill. Whether it was because Senator
Lane presented it or because of a
change of heart on the part of Senator
Dowsett is not known.
ACHI FORESTALLED.
Charlie Achi's call for mass meet
ing to protest against the passage OF
bill requiring medical examinations
for school children by specially ap'
pointed physician, seems to have been
for naueht. as the Education commit
tee, by Senator Hewitt, presented a re-
port on the bill yesterday recommend
ing indefinite postponement.
Up to Yesterday morning the Senate
had acted on 81 Senate bills, heard,
l15 reports from standing committees
and l43 from House committees, list
ened to twenty-eight communications
from department heads and the read
ing of twenty-seven petitions and SIX
teen messages from the Governor. One
Senate Joint resolution was acted up
on and six concurrent resolutions and
three conference committee reports
were received. To this may be added
n goodly bunch of business that was
disposed of during Tuesday.
Morning Session.
After the routine work Senator
Hewitt presented the following report
on the school children IS medical exam
nations:
"BiIl No. 149, entitled 'An Act to
provide for Medical Inspector of
Public Schools have had the same un-
der consideration.
"Your committee finds that there is
very strong public sentiment against
the passage of this Act; that the duties
prescribed in the bill are now perform
ed by the Government physicians and
that carrying out the provisions of the
Act would create a great additional
expense which your committee feels is
not justified by the conditions prevail
ing in the schools.
''Matters of public health, your com
mittee feel are safe in the hands of
the present Board of Health and your
committee further finds that n consd-
cradle portion of the bill as present
ed is missing and the bill is therefore
incomplete and we recommend its in
definite postponement.
Senator Hayselden IS bill providing
for the commemoration of the apniver-
sary of the time the first constitution
was presented the Hawaiians by their
King passed first reading by title.

There were number of bills called
for third reading, most of them from
the House. The first to pass was Sen,
ate Bill No 80, relating to married
women teachers. Senator Lane moved

ported by their husbands and the
amendment carried without opposition.

157 passed third reading. House Bill

Hawaiian library was sent to the Mis-
cellaneous committee.
At 10:45 there being nothing on the
desk or the President or clerk, re.
cess was taken until / 80 p. IN.
Afternoon Session.
There was plenty done during the
afternoon yesterday and there Is no
question as to the earning power of
any of the members. There was busi-
ness from the rise to the fall of the
curtain and the germ of extravaganza
was at the bargain counter all the af-
ternoon. Someone wanted the bill ap-
propriating money for the use of de-
partments called up for consideration
SO that there would be no delay later
on in the session. When the bill was
read there were several surprises and
one or two items We're deferred. Take

day all around.
OIL BILL AGAIN.
Senator Dowsett, from the Commit,
tee on WAYS and Means, reported again

port recommending that the bill be in
definitely postponed.

cred with the bill.
