THE HOUSE

was green on Molokai Those who
wanted to kill deer, merely wished to
make money by sale to butchers; it
was up to Molokai TO protect her deer.
COHEN RIDICULES.
Joel Cohen had been led to believe
that the deer was the most docile of
animals, but the energetic opposition
would have the House believe that
they, the deer, were the most voracious
animals, animals at any moment like
ly to invade our back yards and tear
up the trees by the roots, even,
perhaps, going to the front door and
ringing the bell, and under the guisa
of shaking hands, rob us of our wo.
men and children. The opposition to
this bill was so ridiculous that there
was nothing to do but treat it as a
joke.
Douthitt spoke emphatically for the
close season for deer, showing how
every state in the Union and every
! government in the civilized world pro-
| tected deer.
Nevertheless Nakaleka and Kaniho
and a few others who like venisoA,
deer being the most timid OF animals
and easy to shoot, acclaimed to the
limit against the bill as if their very
| lives depended on killing both the
! deer and the bill. Kaniho had to be
reminded that he couldn't talk all the
time, the rules limiting the number OF
times of rising and talking on one sub
ject
HOSMER'S SUDDEN SHIFT.
Single, as chairman of the agricul-
ture committee declared that Fores-
ter Hosmer, speaking before commit
tee, had been understood to say that
deer were not a menace to forests, but
Hosmer had later written letter OPP
posing the bill. Single stated that
his committee had recommended the
passage of the bill; it felt that Hos
mer had taken sudden change. In
spite of Hosmer's attitude and the hunt
lust fever of eloquence the deer bill
passed.
GOVERNMENT PHYSICIANS.

ing power to Supervisors to make or
dinanees covering police and other
matters and to appoint government
physicians, Castro moved to strike out
the word government and to insert
instead thereof the words City and
County," there would be nothing to
prevent, he said, the appointment by
the City and County of the same ply
sicians appointed by the Territory.
SMITHS COMMENT.
Single said the President of the Sc
nate had yesterday commented on the
number of bills vetoed by the Governor
most of which were House bills i'm
perfectly drawn. Now the introdncer
of this bill under discussion, ]. H.
| Coney had drawn the bill with the
idea of having government physicians
come under the control of the coun-
ties Now the House had adopted
other tactics in regard to government
physicians and it behooved the men,
bers not to grope blindly in the dark,
but to carefully consider how this bill
should be handled. The bill was de-
ferred till Monday.
Rice rose to reamrk that if the Pre-
sident of the Senate had said that
House bills were vetoed because of
faulty drafting, he wished to point out
the fact that most House bills which
had failed to meet the Governors APP
proval had been vetoed because OF
amendments made by the Senate; II
the Senate would leave good House
bills alone they might pass the Gov
ernor and thus save time and trouble.
YES" said Sheldon, land the hon
orable gentleman himself (Wm. o.
Smith) was generally responsible for
the Senate amendments which killed
the bills"
Consideration of the bill being de-
ferred, it was moved and carried that
reconsideration be taken on House
Bill It's and the latter was then also
deferred consideration till Monday.
Rice successfully moved to have his
bill taken from the table, the bill
which provides for the maintenance
and support of the present district
court houses and county jails and hos
pitfalls of the City and County. 1t had
been tabled on account of a similar
bill in the Senate, but it appeared that
the Senate was waiting for the House
bill on the subject.
CAN GO TO LAW.
Kealawaa wanted reconsideration on
his bill overriding the action Of the
Hawaii supervisors in the matter of
claims for land taken for public i'm
provement, claiming that only the rich
had been remunerated and the poor
had been ignored, but Rice showed that
the poor who had been ignored, if such
was the fact, had the law to appeal to
and could sue the County of Hawaii.
