SPEAKER and CLERK
CLASH In HOUSE
PRECPITATED SPEAKER HOLsTE1N REGARDING
PRINTING OF THE HOUSE JOURNAIl-CLERK
SURRENDER RECORDS PRINTING COMMITTEE REPRESENTA-
KALEIOPU MAKES A ECH.

The monotony of routine legislation
which prevailed in the House yestcr-
day was rudcly broken just at the close
of the session in the afternoon by u
clash between Speaker Holstein and
Clerk Wise over the printing Of the
House journal, which more than made
up for any dullness which may have
existed in the proceedings Of the day.
While the House remained in session
it was the Speakers inning and the
Clerk did not get in a word but i'm
mediately upon adjournment , few
minutes later, Wise gave vent to his
feelings, and everything points to the
fact that the end is not yet.
The row was openly prccipitated by
Speaker Holstein just before entertain
ing a motion to adjourn, when he read
from the Bulletin an article inspired
by the clerk to the effect that there
was trouble brewing over the printing
of the journal owing to the apparent
disposition of the committee on Print
| ing and Accounts to ignore the clerk in
! having the work prepared for the print
err. The article further stated that the
committee would probably give the
work to \. Fernandez and f. J. Testa
at about SO, 500 This the clerk would
not submit to as it would take from
! his possession papers and records foI
which he is responsible, unless spe-
cific resolution relieving him of thi.
responsibility was introduced.
At this juncture of the fracas Ka-
leiopu showed a ludicrous lack OF
conception of the Speakers motive IL
reading the article He was on his
feet by the time the Speaker had finish
ed reading, and launched into a bitter
attack on the press in general and the
Bulletin in particular i'm daring to com
ment on the actions of the Legislature
and the members of the House.
Kalciopu said it seemed to be the
policy of the paper to attack the House
on every prctext. He thought it would
be best to pass u resolution to have q
separate table for the Bulletin out on
the lanai and thus exclude it from the
sessions of the House
He thought it a shame that news
paper men should be permitted to come
into the House and make such attacks
upon the members. He himself hac
been personally a subject of such at
tack.
When Kaleiopu had subsidized The
Speaker took up the matter without re
ference to the interruption. He salt
that the article which he had just reat
had likely been inspired. However III
(, wished to give some figures on the mat
ter. The cost of printing the Hous'
! Journal for 1905 he said had been some
thing like $1,000. If the translating car

and proof reading for $780, and the
printing for something like $500 there
would be a material saving over the
work of the last session. This he said
would be the policy of the house in the
matter When this session opened he
had announced that it was to be one
of retrenchment and economy in so
far as the cost was concerned, and
that was what he proposed it should
be. The only time the clerk has a right
to so ahead with the printing of the
journal, is when given specific instruc-
lions to do so by resolution of the
House, and this is usually done a few
days prior to the close of the session.
The newspaper article in question he
thought, was probably inspired by
friends of the clerk. who were afraid
that he would not get the work this
year He did not blame the paper for
the article. But he wanted it UNDER
stood that if there could be a saving
of $500 in the work it would be print
ed so as to accomplish that, regardless
of the clerk or anybody. He ended
by instructing the clerk to have the
proceedings of the first ten days ready
by noon today for the printers.
When the Speaker had finished there
was a silence in the House for a few
moments and then a motion to ad-
iourn was made. and carried with
rush. The Speaker fingered not a sec
ond, and when the newspaper men
hurried to his platform to verify the
figures he had given, he had vanished.
But Clerk Wise fingered and express
ed himself in no uncertain terms. The
papers and records We're in his care,
and he was responsible for them and
could be prosecuted if one of them
should be lost. Therefore, the Speak
er's orders Notwithstanding he would
not let any Of them out of his possess
sion unless directed to do so by reso-
luton of the House The resolution
adopted on April Srd. regarding the
printing Of the Journal he said did not
give him authority to part with the re-
cords. This resolution follows:
therefore ne pI TeSuFNSu by Ihe
House of Representatives of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii that speaker shall be
authorized with the approval of the
chairman of the committee on Accounts
and Printing to employ extra clerk
or clerks, who shall prepare for
printing the journal of the House of
Representatives Of 1907. to call for
bids for such printing and binding and
to Immediately proceed to complete
said work" Adopted April 3, 1907
Another chapter to the affair will
probably be added today when the clerk
refuses to obey the commands of the
Speaker and will be awaited with in
terest.
