The only case of interest in the po-
lice court this morning WAS that OF
the thirty-five gamblers who were ar

retania street resort of All Kwai. The
defence was conducted by Judge Hum
phreys who succeeded i'm obtaining
some interesting Information from
Deputy Sheriff Rose when the latter
was placed on the stand to testify in
regard to the raid. Rose stated that
it was the custom of the police de-
partment when an informer brought
in report Of gambling, to pay him
whether the raid was successful and
fines were inflicted or not. In case the
fines were collected, however, Rose said
that the informer was given ten per
cent of the whole amount
All Sun, one of the infoTmers, was
placed on the stand and testified in
regard to the game and Rose follow

in the sides of the wall, through which
the gamblers could escape and of the

police station yesterday afternoon,

/ As matter of fact il would be a
good thing if Harris would get out OF
the Territory altogether, for he is con-
tinually in trouble, but the police do
not intend that he shall get away and
are watching the steamers. closely for
him. Harris was a sailor on the Iro-
quois but was discharged as being an
undesirable man for service in the
navy.

Davies & Company have found that

PENDING MILITIA

Of our members have been told to vote
for this bill that they may be re-elect-
ed. Are we here to vote for a bill, just
to be reelected?
The United States is progressing
and can draw all the soldiers she
wants. We are but a hy-speck in the
Pacific and it is not for ms to show the
United States what to do in matters
military.
Should the bill pass we will be
handicapped for want Of money for
local improvements. The money will
have to go to maintaining an army.
There are every day certain parties
in this hall who are here just for the
purpose Of having this bill passed He
is the Adjutant General, always hang
ing around the hallway and know he
wants this bill for. his own benefit,
and there are others in the scheme to
have the support of tle militia at cleo
tions for certain Offices they desire.
You may say because I'm from a
country district that I'm against this
bill, but it is because we have thou
sands of United States infantry and
thousands of United States cavalry
that believe Hawaii needs no more
militia.
"As for me, I'm content to rest un-
der the wings Of the American Eagle.
we have urged Kuhio TO get United
States troops here and the Delegate
has done well, and now why look to
increasing local militia? 1t would not
be doing right to the United States
government to raise troops here when
the United States gives us troops; it
would be in the nature of an insult.
You Republicans, don't go against
your Delegate who is trying to do his
best and don't try to show the United
States that we think we can get along
without Federal soldiers
This bill will only increase the coz
tents of the pocketboOks of some mer
who want to benefit thelselves."
Cohen asked how this bill woulJ
mean an expense to the Territory.
Il see it in the appropriation bill
said Kaniho. What's your answer Il
that?"
Alfonso decalred that Congress ex
pected that every state and territory
have its own militia organization Tn,
sole purpose of the bill is to MAKE

and territories.

Representative Kaniho, the lone
Home Ruler in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, this morning advanced, in
his usual pyrotechnic manner, an ar
gument against the upkeep and ini-
provement of the National Guard OF
Hawaii that was as much Of a surprise
to thinking members as it was as
founding in its warped ideas and bun
combe.
In a nutshell, he proclaimed that he
was satisfied to loaf beneath the
mighty wings Of the great American
Eagle and to let the United States re-
gular troops look to the protection Of
this Territory now and forever, in
peace or in war. declaring that to en-
courage the increase of the militia here
was in the nature of an insult to the
United States and as much as to order
the United States to keep away her
soldiers and that Hawaii was well
able TO maintain her own army.
He practically declared the National
Guard to be political machine Kanil
no attacked Adjutant General J. w
Jones by accusing him of lobbying for
the bill for the purpose of filling his
own purse.
The bill passed by the following
votes
For the bill Alfonso, Carley, Cas-
tro, Cohen, Coney, Correa. Douthitt,
Furtado, Huddy, Kaleiopu, Kamanoulu,

I what we might furnish here in the

and citizen Of the Territory to the Of
fee of Second Judge of the United
States District Court for the Territory
of Hawaii and also to the office of
United States District Attorney for
the District and Territory of Hawaii
The preamble states that while such
manner of appointment may--though
by no means conceded-have been ex-
pedient and justified by conditions ex-
listing at the time of the organization
of the Territory, it is no longer iusti-
fled and there are available among
the members of the bar OF the Ha-
waiian Islands men competent to per-
form the duties of said Offices ably and
hOnorably. at is further set forth that
the Federal Government since the or
ganization of the Territory, has treat
ed and dealt with this Territory more
and more on the basis of o State or
the Union. The creditabe history Of
the Hawaiian judicial system with re-
ports dating back to 1S47 is cited.
For over half a century" it is re-
lated, the spirit of American liberty
and the principles of American in
stitutions and constitutional govern
ment have steadily grown in the Ha-
waiian Islands and predominated even
during the Hawaiian Monarchy. and
for six years previous 10 annexation
the Hawaiian Republic had a full
hedged government on American
lines
For the reasons given and because
the spirit of American government
and institutions favors giving to the
people as far as possible direct con-
troll of their own local affairs and is
opposed to the appointment to local
office of men, however able, who are
not resident there;
Now therefore the Senate of the
Territory of Hawaii does hereby de-
clare its unqualified opposition to the
appointment of other than citizens of
the Territory to judicial, executive or
other Office within its borders;
And be it resolved, further, that a
copy of this resolution be sent forth
with to the President of the United
States the Attorney General of the
United States and the presiding officers
of both branches OF the American
Congress"
