in that the claimants were required by

On motion of Coelho the message was
referred to the Committee on Ways and
Means. A. H. Keohokaole, elected to
the office of janitor, was solemnly sworn

of the United States.
Committee Named.
President Smith then announced his
selection of the Senators to serve on
the Committee on Ways and Means.
Senator Fairchild of Kauai is chair
man, the other members being Brown
of Hawaii, Coelho of Maui, and Sena-
tors Moore and Quinn of Oahu.
Senator Coelho was recognized by the
chair, and under suspension of the
rules he introduced acts covering va.
riety of subjects, all of which were
to the Printing Committee. The first
act dealt with the form of the issuance
of marriage licenses, and another calls
for the repeal of sections 1867 and 1860
of the Revised Laws relating to the
manufacture of poi. Another fathered
\ by Coelho provides for the amendment
of section 141S G of Chapter 102 of
the Revised Laws, as amended by Act
SO of the Laws of 1907. The Senator
from Maui also has some theories on
the tax question, introducing an act re-
lating to the rate per cent for income
taxation and amending sections 1878,
1879, 1881 and 1882 of Act 81 of the
Session Laws of 1905. Another of
Coelho's measures introduced yesterday
relates to Inheritance taxation and pro-
vides for the amendment Of Act 102
of the Session Laws Of 1902.
A Prize Measure.
The other Coelho measures intro
duced yesterday provide for the repeal
of Chapter 81 of the Revised Laws; to
amend Chapter "a of the Revised Laws
relating to the Leper Settlement and
hospital by adding new section to be
known section "112SA.' Coelho
also believes that all employees of the
Territorial government should be citi-
zens; to amend sections 1921 and 1923
of Chapter 102 of the Revised Laws:
to amend section 1881 of the Revised
Laws relating to lodging and tenement
houses.

duced by the legislator from Maui yes.

Senator H. T. Moore introduced bill
to amend Act 119 of the Session Laws
of 1907, entitled g An Act to Regulate
the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors., and
to repeal Act 81 of the Session Laws
OF 1905. The bill as presentedY by
Moore is carefully drawn, but it is
plainly designed to limit the powers
and usefulness of the License Board

ferred to the Printing Committee.
What was characterized by Senator
