TENTH DAY.

Discussion ON the form of House
Bill No. IA, providing an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to cover the Judgment
obtained by the trustees of the Amer
lean Board of Foreign Missions for
Hawaii against the Territory, occupied
a large part of the Senate at this
mornings session. The bill came up
on thlrd reading, and Senator Chilling
worth believed that it was defective
because it did not state for whom the
trustees named in the bin We're act
ing. ChillngWOrth stated that because
the members of the Senate knew the
details of the case was not sufficient
reason for their approving the bill in
its present form. Senator Judd thought
the Dill was in sufficient form; that
all the Senate was interested in was
the fact that the Judgment had been
returned against the Territory. Sen
ator Robinson supported Chilling
worth, ana the bill was referred back
to the Judiciary committee.
House Joint Resolution No. / was
passed ON third reading. This reso-
luticn provides for the appointment by
the Governor of commission to pre-
pare for a Hawaiian exhibit at the San
Francisco Pacific Panama Exposition.
President knudsen suggested that the
resolution ought to include some pro-
vision for expenses, but the resolution
was passed in its original form.
In connection with the resolution
ChillingWorth wanted to know if the
holdover finance committee of the Sen
ate of 1909 had the figures of the eX
pense schedule of the Hawaii commits
sion for the Alaska Yukon Exposition
Senator Fairchild, chairman of the
committee, replied that the items of
expense were included in the report
now being printed.

from the Judiciary committee, some of
which precipitated brief discussions.

Judge Lorrin A. Andrews, district
magistrate of the district of South

practically assured, although it is en-
tirely probable that the form of the
Watkins of oahu will be materially
changed. This bill was prepared by
the Republican legislative committee
as the party measure to follow out the
primary plank in the Territorial plat
form.
The only opposition to a primary
measure is among the Oahu delega-
ton, and even these members believe
that they should put aside their per-
sonal opinions on the ACCESSIBILITY of
the law to carry out the party pledge
The outside delegates win probably be
solid for the law as it will not affect
their own elections
The bill is now in the hands of the
judiciary committee, and the first
committee meeting on it viii take
place tomorrow afternoon. Chairman
Castle of the committee stated today
that no public hearings win be held
until after the committee has thrash
ed the matter over So far he has had
no requests for public hearings, and
unless some are made, it is hardly
likely that any will be held
There is talk of drafting the "Berke-
ley plan" of direct primary law into
