tion was made by Senator Cecil Brown
who withdrawn his motion on a sug-
gestion from Senator Knudsen that a
motion would be in order to have tho
rules of the last session made the
rules for this year. The motion was
made and Senator Cecil Brown then
placed the name of Senator Charles
Chillingworth in nomination for presi-
dent of the Senate. Senator FairchilG
of Kauai nominated Senator Knudsen
and upon the ballot being taken It
showed Knudsen with six votes, Chill
lingworth five and one blank cast.
Senator Cecil Brown Immediately
objected to the vote as it stood on
the ground that it was not decisive,
according to the rules of the Senate,
contendirg that the election of pre-
sident required majority of the
elected members of the Senate.
Farchild maintained that major
ity vote of the members present was
sufficient and was supported by Judd
Brown adhered to his position and the
final ruling of the chair was in his
favor, Hewitt holding that a majority
of the members elected is required
The ruling of temporary president
Hewitt was appealed from by Senator
Fairchild and the Senate supported the
contention in favor of Knudsen.
Senator Chillingworth then moved
to make the election of Knudsen un-
animous and brought the deadlock to
an abrupt end.
Acting President Hewitt appointed
Senators Brown and Baker as a com
mittee to escort Senator Knudsen to
the chair. President Knudsen then
expressed his thanks for the honor
conferred on him and promised to do
all in his power to make the 1911 ses-
sion a record-breaker.
The election of vice president was
next in order, Senator Kalama being
elected without opposition.
John Wise was the only candidate
for Clerk of the Senate and, Dan S.
Pahu was elected assistant clerk.
Charles II. Clark received enough
votes to give him the Office of SER
geant-at-arms of the Senate and the
Rev y. w. X White was elected
chaplain with decisive vote over
Elder Fernandez The other Officars
elected were Kuula, messenger, and
Apuakehal, janitor.

Two votes more than received by
Senator Chillingworth of Oahu this
morning placed Senator Eric Knudsen
of Kauai in the chair as President
of the Territorial Senate and started
the upper house of the 1911 Terrific
rial Legislature on its sixty day ses-
sion
Opposition to the vote was voiced
by Senator Cecil Brown of Oahu ON
the ground that the votes received by
Knudsen did not constitute major
ity, according to a strict Interpretation
of the rules. In this view he was
supported by temporary President
Hewitt but the chairs ruling was not
supported on appeal to the Senate and
Chillingworth then withdrew and
made Knudsen's election unanimous.
The problem involved in the inabil-
ily of Senator Moore to attend the
session was settled without recourse
to a special election, leave of alb
Eence being granted him on motion of
Senator Brown.
Upon the conclusion of the work of
organization this morning the Senate
adjourned for the day in accordance
with q resolution introduced by Sen
ator Kaleiopu testifying to the Sen
ates regret at the death of the lata
Senator Frank r Harvey
Hewitt In Chair.
The Senate was called to order
promptly at 10 O'Clock with Senator
G.. C. Hewitt of Hawaii presiding as
temporary president.
Prayer was offered by Rev. d. K
White, who was later appointed Chap
lain for the 1911 session Upon the
conclusion of the prayer a committee
on credentials was appointed, con-
sisting of Senators knudsen, Robin
son and Quinn.
A recess for ten minutes was tax
en- after which the report of the Gre
dentials committee was presented
stating election credentials were ap-
proved from Senators Chillingworth

Governor Frear's message, present
ed to the Territorial Legislature to-
day, is an arraignment of some of the
present methods of government, a
condemnation of waste of public
moneys, and a declaration for wise ex-
penditure of public funds.
That the public schools of Hawaii
have first claim upon the public rev.
enues, and that the Territory must
make adequate provision through the
sixth Legislature is emphasized in the
message He indicates that the care
of public schools is the greatest work
the present Legislature will have to
perform.
Governor Frear recommends
changes in the County Act which
amount practically to the establish
ment of a commission form of gov
ernment. He recommends the cleo
ton of Supervisors and the appoint
ment by them of practically all of the
other officers now elected.
He recommends the construction of
belt roads, but doubts that the terri
torial treasury can stand the expense
and suggests instead special bond
issue.
The Governor lays strong stress up
on safeguarding public health. He
urges that immigration should be en-
couraged, and that more attention
should be paid to the comfort of i'm
migrants after they arrive The mes
sage in full is as follows:
Territory Of Hawaii,
Executive Chamber,

The last two years have been the

establishment of Territorial govern.
ment
Crops and prices have been good !;
industries have grown in number and
extent. During the ten years the pop
ulation of the Territory has increased
nearly 25 per cent and of Honolulu
nearly 33 per cent. Territorial receipts
exceeded expenditures during the last
fiscal year by $416,5S2.S7; the net gen
eral cash balance at the close of the
year, after deducting all outstanding
warrants was $69S, ,970,96, as compared
with a deficit of nearly as much five
years previously; the total receipts
were 1854 ,245.35, as compared with

The Shriners are coming, hooray,
hooray! .ns.
This was the sentiment of Sunny
Jim McCandless when he received
the above cable from Flmer who is
in charge of Aloha excursion on the
Matson steamer Wilhelmina sailing
from San Francisco today.
Sunny" Immediately communicated
the good news to the other Shriners
and they held general rejoicing
throughout the day and redOubled
their efforts to have everything ready
for the reception on Tuesday morning
when the Matson boat arrives off port
1t is busy time for the local men
and the reception which the visitors
will receive when they arrive in Ho-
nolulu will be one that they will talk
about as long as they live.
Think of coming from the cold of
Minnesota and other northern and
eastern states to the sunny cline OF
Hawaii in company with a bunch of
good fellows on a specially chartered
steamer. There is nothing like it and
when they go back they will tell those
other chaps who did not come what a
fine time they had in the Paradise OF
the Pacific, and treading the sands
of the biggest active volcano in the
world
Everything is practically in readl-
ness for the visitors and from the
time they are met outside by the
white clad Arab Patrol until the
whole entertainment is over here and
they sail for IIilo there will be nc
sleep for any of them.
After visiting the volcano back they
will come to Honolulu and with the
exception of Sunday until they sail
for the coast again they will not have
an idle moment.
