BIRD BILL UNDER FIRE.
Castro and Long objected to the
passage OF Coney's protection to Ho-
nOlulu birds act and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION Of the introdueer. Long could
not see what right there would be in
stopping the shooting Of mynah birds
here and letting the good work 60 on
on the other islands.
Mahoe objected to the penalties for
violation, the minimum being a fine of
not less than $50 or Imprisonment for
not less than fifty days.
Coney explained that he had present
ed the bill at the request Of Homo
lulu residents. Those who opposed the
bin were principally those who go
shooting birds on Sunday and other
wise disregard the law.
SAUL TUX II r ATtJAJ-E.
Long moved an amendment making
the law applicable all over the Terri
tory What's was good for Honolulu
was good for outside districts.
Sheldon was glad 10 hear this. 1t
was the first time he had found any
Honolulu member willing to share any
thing good with the outside districts
RawIins called Sheldon down prompt
" for the remark and also took
shot at Mahoe for wanting a Kauai
member to keep his fingers out Of Ho-
nolulu s pie The members are repre-
senting the Territory, not their own
particular districts only. Long. too,
came in the line OF fire and his amend
ment termed "absolute foolishness."
The bill was to prevent the promiseu-
Gus shooting which goes on in Homo
lulu every Sunday
The motion TO table was lost and
Kaleiopu offered an amendment TO
make the law good for ten years in
stead of FIVE. He figured that in that
time the birds would look upon Homo
lulu as a temple Of safety and flock
into town from the unprotected out
side districts. The penalty he also
wished TO cut down TO ten days or
$40 with a maximum OF p days or
s25.
Rawlins amended the bill to ex-
ernpt rice BIRDS. mynah and other
birds Of a destructive nature" from the
benefit of the bill and also wished TO
make the bin applicable only within
the CITY limits. Both amendments car
ried
Kauiho wanted a list OF those birds
which the bill viii protect and Coney
did what he could 10 tell him. He
asserted that doves were not destruc-
tive. but whether a magistrate would
agree or not remains 10 be seen
