The faeias sugar Mlll Co. through
its agents. y A. rchaefcf A Cos made
claim fot one hundred dollars for a
delay IN deal in land, the expense

more than that sum. II was referred
to the Public Expenditures committee.
L. c. Lyman, Superintendent of Che
Hilo Boys Boarding School, is in with
a petition for relief from the iron heel
OF the mtland agent In Hilo. II seems
that Mr.. Lyman, some years ago, took
up piece of land in the Kaumana
settlements but has failed to maintain
residence ON the land, going there as
it suited him. The land has been, 1t
is said. under lease and has been cul-
tivated pretty generally. Lyman had
spent several thousand dollars on the
place but according to the ideas of
Land Agent Williams he has broken
one or two of the commandments and
will have to skiddoo. Lyman, in this
instance, is not bit different from
many other homesteaders, though he
may have another piece up on the Vol
cano road which other homesteaders
have not. At all events he maintains
a residence in the comfortable board
ing school instead of the rocky soil
in Kaumana.
Senator Makekau presented petition
ton to a school house. Senator Coelho
made a statement that there is an APP
preparation for the purpose included in
the last loan fund uf $750,000, bunch
of which money has not been used. The
Education committee will wrestle with
this petition.
House Bill No. 11S is the one relat-
ing to the use of writing machines
in making official records. Ordinarily
one would suppose that this could be
acted upon without question as to
the possibility of someone using other
chine. The question was brought up
by Senator Dowsett, and promptly re-
piled to by Senator Smith, who said
there are copying ribbons and record
ribbons just as there is copying ink
and record ink. When a paper is to
be copied the typist has sense enough
to use copying ribbon and when it
is for permanently a record ribbon is
used. Senator Dowsett agreed and the
report, which is as follows, was
adopted:
Your Miscellaneous committee. to
which was referred House Bill No. 11S,
entitled IAN Act to Authorize the Use
of Typewriting Machines in Making
Public Records begs leave to report.
The object OF the bill is to provide
for the keeping of public records in
typewriter form and is in line with the
most up-to-date method used on the
Mainland and elsewhere
We recommend the passage of the
bill.
lht ItDoiI-
ed on House Bill No. 1913 as follows:
Your Miscellaneous committee, to
which was referred House Bill No. 1913,
entitled IAN Act to Amend Section 1879
of the Revised Laws of Hawaii rela-
tive to Livery Stables" begs leave to
report.
The object of the bill is to amend
the present law so that the license fee
for livery stables shall be $500 per an
mum in all districts outside of the Dis
trict of Honolulu.
The present law makes no provision
for licensing livery stables other than
the districts of Waikiki, Maui, and
Hilo. Hawaii.
We recommend the passage of the
bill.
Senator Dowsett made his long look
ed for report on the salary bill as was
published in this paper yesterday.
Senator Smith, from the Judiciary
committee, reported on House Bill No.
rs, as follows:
The bill provides that "all children
born out of wedlock. irrespective of the |
of either parent to another.
become legitimate on the marriage of
the parents with each other and are
entitled to the same rights as those
born in wedlock."
The present law upon the subject is
in Section 22SS Of the Revised
Laws of Hawaii, as follows: "All chill
dren born out of wedlock are hereby
declared legitimate on the marriage of
the parents with each other, and are
entitled to the same rights as those
born In wedlock." ana the bill under
seeks TO amend the sec
ton so as to permit the legitimating
OF children by the subsequent marriage
Of their parents. Notwithstanding that
when such children were born. either
parent, or even both parents. were mar
ried to another or others.
The plan proposed by the bill ex-
,eeds the utmost range of subsequent |
which we have been
able to find. From early times 1t has |
been rigidly held that the subsequent |
of children born out of
wedlock should only be permitted In |
Ease of conception and birth of chill
iren whose parents, although unmar-
lied at the time, We're under no dis |
ability which would have prevented a |
