Motion Out Of Order
Senator Makekau moved that the bill
be read section by section, but as the
bill had already been read throughout,
and there was only one section TO it,
his motion was out of order. --f
Castles amendments passed one by
one, ssnndry minor suggestions in the
warn0f amendments to the amendments

The bill, as it passed second reading,
upon Recommendation of the committee

Something in the nature of HJack
Johnson was dropped in the senate
hy General Coke, chairman Of the
military committee when he reported
up-sepate bill 10. Senate bill 10 was
Makekan 3 bill and went to the mill.
faEy neommittee In shape providing
thHtrthere should be no use of firearms
tot Aunting, or otherwise, within cities
or Towns in this Territory. But the
orieiqal bill also provided that this
sh0ula apply to cities and towns within
heFIerritory whose metes and bounds
were defined by lev. The military
committee reported with the bill so
amended that it was practically a new
measure, providing that there should
be no use of 6rearms in the city of
Hilo. No other tow in the Territory
was TO be affected.
Metzger To the Rescue
Senator Metzger Of Hilo sprang 70
his feet In justifable defense of ,Hilo
Why tshould the amendments seek to
single out Hilo in a matter of this
kindf Was there to be prosmiscuous
shooting in all other cities and towns
in the Territory while Hilo was never
to1hear the report of frearmi He
moved to Law the committee report on
the table. Makekau, however, moved
the adoption of the report.
Metzger asked for the meaning OF
the Introduction of any such joker. The
B.embers from Hawaii had not been
consnlted in the premises. Senator
Desha and Senator Metzger, himself
were naturally interested in such pro
posed legislation as affected Hilo and
Hilo alone. They had a right to be
heards The introducer of the bill
didn't live in Hiio!
Then Coke threw n beam of light OF
the a. iokes - IL seemed that the bill
haarnot been properly referred to the
military committee, but, once in tho
hands Of this conscientious crew, 1t hat
to be handled. Searching the measur,
for Its intent, II was observed that thu
the bill called for the prohibition OF
shooting in cities whose metes anC
b0aR5s were defined by law. 1t hap
Iienef that Hilo was the only city il
the Territory whose hounds were de
fned by law, Honolulu is indefinite IL
