Dying GIFT
OF A|NAHAU PARK
REJECTED BY HOUSE

The bill accepting the gift of the
late Archibald Scott Cleghorn, OF
Ainahau property for public park TO
be named Kaiulani Park, came up for
third reading in the House this morn
ing and was rejected.
Watkins did not think it necessary
to repeat the former debate. He saw
no reason why this gift, with so many
strings to it, should be accepted.
Therefore he moved that the bill be
indefinitely postposed.
Towse seconded the motion and the
Speaker ordered the sergeant-at- arms
to bring in the absent members from
the lobby.
Alfonso asked If Towse had not
signed the committee report in favor
of the bill.
> Towse answered that he had done
so, and had not withdrawn his sigma
ture, nor was he in the habit of vot
ing against bills that he had Joined
in favorably reporting. He had sec
onded the motion for the reason that
he considered it preferable, as the
mover had stated, to motion that the
bill be tabled on which the mover
could make long speech and all other
discussion be shut out.
Speaker Holstein finally put the
question 'on the passage of the bill on
third reading, the motion for which
was lost by to 12.
On the roll call Towse twice reser.
we'd his vote until Chairman Alfonso
of the public lands committee, who
had left the chamber, came in and
voted On the third time he asked
to be excused for the reason stated
but Speaker Holstein ruled that the
rules did not admit such reason. Towse
than voted no but after the bill was
declared lost changed his vote to aye
AS finally recorded the vote was as
