TIE PRESIDENT
CONTINUED from page 80

Senator Coelho moved that the rules
of the last session, with the exception
of that providing for an interpreter,
be adopted. That clause now reads
that the assistant clerk shall act as
interpreter. The motion carried.
A motion to appoint committee
Of two to wait upon the House and
notify the members that the Senate
is ready for business was amended
on motion of Senator Dowsett to read
three as it would show more respect.
Senator Smith suggested that the Gov
ernor might be notified by the COM
mittee at the same time but the chair
said it would require joint commit
tee for that purpose.
A recess was taken until called by
the President. On reconvening Senator
Coelho reported that the duties of the
notifying committee had been properly
performed. A motion was then made
that committee be appointed to wait
upon the Governor. Acting upon the
Judgment of the President, expressed
n few minutes earlier, Senator Knud-
sen called for joint committee, but
the President said he had learned of
his mistake and that joint commit
tee was not necessary. He then ap-
pointed the same committee to wait
on the executive. A few minutes later
Secretary Atkinson entered with the
Governor IS message.

Senator Dowsett introduced a reso-
luton which carried that when an
adjournment is taken 1t shall be until |
10 a. m. the next working day.
1t was a few minutes before twelve
when the message was received, so the
Senate took a recess until 2 p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
There was not minute spared when |
President Bishop raped for order for |
the afternoon session. The absence Of |
several of the members had no effect |
upon the proceedings and there was no
evident desire for delay. Assistant Sec
rotary Lyman was called upon for his |
first hard stunt. that of reading before |
body of strangers the message of
Governor Carter.
For a full hour the young man
tugged away and all went well without
attracting notice until several lines of
Hawaiian were encountered. AS Ly-
man is native and to the manor born,
the words fell trippingly from his
tongue SO that his reading caused Sem
ator Dowsett to sit up and take notice
and something was heard about omit
ting the "limericks." In the absence
of an audience and the fact that each
member had a copy of the message
surprise was felt that the document
was not read by first and last para
graphs. If there was u suggestion to
that effect 1t was not acted upon and
Mr.. Lyman read from cover to cover
without interruption, even by a yawn
At three o'clock the reading was h
and the message passed
without comment. Senator Coelho then
introduced the following petitions:
From ia voters on Molokai, residing
at the Leper Settlement, praying for:
The admission of pure and good liq-
uor into the settlement.
That j. Lor Wallach be permitted to
snter the settlement for the purpose of
treating the lepers with his medicines.
That the annual monetary allowance
Of the lepers be increased from ten to I
sixteen dollars.
That the laborers at the settlement S
De paid from $l.0O per day upwards.
That the sum OF $4,000 be appropriate II
va ioi tHc pay VI poiiCc VI the county
II Kalawao
That an appropriation be made for
postage stamps for the free use of the I
epers. I
The second petition was from the
settlement and in character resembled I
he first in some respects. The prayer !
Tor the increase in the allowance car
ried rider that 1t be in cash, not in
goods.
A protest was entered against the !
admission of j. Lor Wallach to the ,
settlement to treat lepers.
A request is made that. where lep- 4
err has wife or husband who is not a +,
eper, he or she be allowed to reside a
At the settlement as kokua.
The final prayer Is that goods or
sold at the settlement to
epers be at cost and not at profit.
The papers were filed with the health
