knniho also favored the indefinite

The whole trouble was that there was
political fight ON. The portion Of the
statute dealing with the responsibility
of an official and his bondsman should
not be Just Joke and this bill was
making IL such. lie favored the in.
definite postponcmcnt of the bill and
an effort to induce the Honolulu poll.

down TO business aud compromise their
differences He was sorry for some
of the people but thought the lesson
was II good one. if the people had only
voted the straight ticket they would
not have had the miN-up. They didn I,
though, and the trouble they are hav-
ing is their own fault.
Kaleiopu harkcd back to the Legisla'
ture of 1907, when the House was peti-
toned in regard to the trouble on Ha-
wall where a Home Rule sheriff and II
Republican Board of Supervisors had n
falling out. All the counties then vo-
ted to pay the Hawaii police, now it
was up to the members TO let Oahu
nav her laborers. No Territorial money
was asked. He had not brought in the
bill as political measure but in order
to help the laborers who were up
against it. He did not deny the right
of the Mayor TO appoint and kokuaed
the Supreme Court on that, but blamed
him for not first getting the approval
of the Supervisors. The question is,
shall the men be paid or allowed to go
hungryH
sheldon had something to remark
about pilikia. He agreed with Kaniho
that there was politics at the bottom
of the trouble but this did not alter
the fact that work had been done, Oahu
! had benefited and the workmen had
not been paid.
Kawewchi told about the lobby work
! he did in the last session when he was
on the payroll as sergeaut-at-arms, this
being in regard to the Hawaii police
bill Personally he benefited from that
bill to the amount of 5000 and knew
the bill was a good one. He favored
the bill
Nothing Stopped Kaniho.
Rice moved the previous question,
which carried and roll call proceeded,
Kaniho speaking to the last and asking
leave to verbally amend this bill. Rice
rose to a point of order and was over
ruled. Kaniho wanted to state his
amendment before the rules were sus-
| pended and there were parliamentary
precepts lying a foot deep all over the
House.
1.-THE Speaker tried to stem the tide
| of Kaniho S explanations about some
thing, finally succeeding. The motion
to suspend the rules was about to be
put when Kaleiopu had to be put
straight on the matter of rules and
| ruling. The motion to suspend was
lost and for the third time roll call
was reached. The vote stood twenty
five to five, those voting no being Fur
tado, Kamahu, Kaniho, Kealawaa and
Like.
Third Readings.
House Bill 81, Long, establishing a
juvenile court in each Circuit Court
circuit, is to obviate the necessity of
bringing children arrested on minor
charges into the police courts for trial
and also removes children convicted of
such offenses from having to go ON
record as criminals. This is one of
the most important measures yet pre-
scented in the House.
On third reading yesterday the bill
passed on n unanimous vote.
House Bill SO, Sheldon, requiring the
publication of all laws as soon as pos
sible after enactment, in English and
Hawaiian newspapers, and the publish
ing of the same in both languages in
book form, was read a third time and
carried unanimously.
House Bill 20, Kinney, which makes
certificates of Hawaiian birth prima
facie evidence of the facts stated
therein for purposes of registration and
before Territorial courts, passed third
reading. No one was opposed.
Wage Bill Hoisted Again.
House Bill 80, Nakaleka, which has
been the cause of considerable rag.
chewing on the floor of the House and
elsewhere, passed third reading. This
bill puts the minimum pay of laborers
on all public works at $3.50 day.
When up once before for third reading,
Castro had the bill put over to inves-
tigate into the power the Territory
had to establish wage scale for the
| counties.
Kamahu, who had submitted a min
ority report on the bill on second read
| ing. offered an amendment, putting the
daily wage up to So.
| This resulted in a further deferring
Of the bill for a week. For the third
time the bill has thus come up, Kama
hu putting in his 81 amendment each
time, and for the third time it has been
| given the hoist. None of the members
! want to 90 on record as voting against
