GOVERNORS VETO.
The veto of the bill providing TO
repairs to the bank of the Waimei
river was then taken up. Senate
Smith read from the message tire,
lines which he considered insulting il
that it referred to the "lack of capacity
for legislation The bill passed over
the veto 13 to 0.
NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED.
Consideration of the names of ap
pointees of the Governor as reported
yesterday was then called. An attempt
was made to have the message con.
sidered in executive session, but a mo
ton to the contrary was made and
carried.
Senator Coelho, speaking upon the
message, said personal feelings should
be obliterated and he moved that the
list DE considered as a whole.
Senator Lane opposed. He was
against the nomination OF DIR. Wayson
who is a member of the Board that
had refused to permit Wallach to go
to Molokai and foE that reason he
would refuse to vote to confirm any
member of the Board.
1t was decided to take up the names
in order of the office. The nominations
for regents of the Agricultural College
were ~thereupon confirmed.
Senator Lane, seconded by Senator
Makekau, moved that DIR. Wayson be
not confirmed. Senator Smith said he
regretted the action of the Board in
disregardlng the wish of the Legisla-
ture on a request that was so safe
guarded. He believed they thought
they were conscientious in their action.
The doctor has rendered valuable SER
vices to the country without pay and
they should be recognized. He has
peer a faithful officer in the time of
epidemics, is honest, a gentleman and
should be secured.
The Senator's remarks were extreme
ly laudatory, closing with the sugges-
ton that to refuse the confirmation
would appear like spite.
Senator Lane denied this and stated
that the Board had put itself above
the Legislature. He was not opposed
to Wayson but as a matter of prin-
cipal he would vote against the con
frmation.
Senator C~hillingworth spoke in favor
of DIR. Wayson for the stand he had
taken, knowing that his confirmation
was in danger. He had not taken the
step in defiance of the masses but
because he felt that he was right.
Senator Coelho spoke in the same
strain, citing incidents in the recent
meetings of the Board.
Senator Kalama said that as the
other members of the Board would
continue in office he would move to
confirm. The vote was then taken with
the following result:
Ayes-Chillingworth, Dowsett, Coel-
no, Kalama, Hayselden, Kama, Nc
Carthy, Knudsen, Smith, Bishop, 10.
Noes Brown, Makekau, Lane,
Hewitt, 4.
The other nominations, those for
Prison Inspectors, were then con-
frmed.
LOAN BILL.
The bill was read and Senator Bishop
took the floor against it, saying he
feared the result if it went to the Gov
ernor in its present shape. He would
like to cut from it all of the items
except that for Nuuanu dam and the
$4,000 for the wharf shed. He made
a motion to that effect, but it was
lost. Senator Coelho moved to pass
the bill.
Senator Smith said the Governor s
power in the case of loans was limited.
he could veto the entire bill or not
at all but he believed the power of
the President, who must approve the
loan, was unlimited as far as he knew.
Senator Bishop said he was not aware
that the President would be called up
on to approve.
Senator Dowsett read from the Or
ganic Act that his approval of the
loan was necessary. A motion was
made to defer and lost and the bill
passed second reading.
MORE LOANS.
Senator Makekau opposed the bill
because other islands got ten times as
much as the others. As Oahu seemed
