HOUSE TABLES MANY
B|LtSON F|NAtDAy

Ordinarily, when bills were tabled
in the house of representatives during
the past session there were sad hearts,
but yesterday when Chairman Cooke
of the finance committee presented two
reports tabling twenty-one bills and
ali Of them offered by house members,
only smiles greeted the adoption Of the
reports. m
What was the use, anyhow Even
If the committee yesterday reported
fayorably on these measures there
would be no time in which to pass
them on to the senate. And there you
are.
: The twenty.one bills asked for APP
preparations Of 100000 for various
public improvements, mostly those
which are county and city and county
charges. s,
Many of the items, however, have
been, provided for in the loan fund bill.
This, therefore, was some satisfaction.
The finance committee yesterday al
so recommended the tabling of several
dozen resolutions, all asking for the
insertion Of items in the appropriation
bill. ~

LONDON, April 25-The British nd.

port revived by the Germans that H. M.
s. Dwarf opened fire on German sailors
swimming In the CAMERON River after
they had abandoned their ship, the ar

an action Of the night of September is,

this action in the African province as

Lieutenant Vending OF the Naehtigall
as relating the story.
From the time, " says the admiralty
statement, "that the Nachtigall was
first sighted until the cease Are was
sounded, the searchlight was kept
trained on the ship, and the fire of the
guns was directed at the ship only. The
searchlight was then trained on the

THE ADVERTISERS SEMH-wEEKLY
Legislature Of 1917

ITNlIE Legislature Of 1917 has passed into his
j tory. What place il will have in the records
Is too soon now to say. The legislature has TO its
credit great deal Of bad legislation which il de-
clined to pass, and some good legislation which
il has enacted into law. The fault Of the average
Legislature is thatit enacts too many laws and this
is one fault which cannot be urged against the
body which adjourned sine die at midnight
In addition to the appropriation bills there are
few OF the enacted measures of any great outstand
ing importance. One is the Food Control Act
put through in the closing days Of the session
under the circumstances of the war 1t is social
istiC measure which can be made Of most material
benefit to the community.
Al number Of important measures which the
community had right to expect action upon, have
failed Prohibition is one Of these For time
It appeared that something might evolve out Of
the various bills and suggestions but the fear that
the prohibition movement within the legislature
was political rather than in earnest was fully borne
out and the measures were shufaed to death The
Abatement by Injunction Bill was another mea-
sure for the moral betterment of the community
which was not given fighting chance for its life
Reapportionment was lodged again and the fall
ure Of the legislature to take any action on the
Rapid Transit charter clamped another unneces-
sary drag on the progress OF Honolulu.
Whether the final killing Of the Honolulu Char
ter Bill was wise unwse is yet to be determined
II the agitation has taught its lesson to the average
good citizens" the sustaining Of the Governors
veto will have been justified But there remains
no question of the fact that the Honolulu charter
needs radical revision and the legislature has pro-
vided no authorization for another charter con-
vention. F4
Taking things altogether, the Legislature OF 1917
might have been worse

instead Of WEAKNESS and regret, the

A majority Of the judiciary commit

Of the Chair, the motion failed to carry.
Y 4 think l can offer an amendment
that will let us out Of our difficulties, y
suggested Pacheeo. add a clause pro.
viding that the Act shall not become eff
fective until approved by Congress.
Then pass a concurrent resolution re-
questing congress TO approve it,
Senator Baldwin said the real obiec.
tion TO the bill was that IL created a
revolving fund that never would re-
,volve. The banks would refuse to make
the loans contemplated and the Terri
tory never would get back its initiel
appropriation of 100000.

said Senator Castle, merely attempts
to beat the Organic Act around the
bush. / dom think IL win work.
Action for the time being was deferred.
in the understanding that, after re-
cess for dinner, the bill should be
tabled and Senator Castle would intro.
duce a concurrent resolution, beseechinR
congress to extend the provisions Of
the National Farm Loan Credit Act to
the Territory.
\ Senator Castle, however, did not Of.
fer his amendment, and Senator Castle
at ten minutes past eleven, returned
to his amendment and pressed for its
adoption. 1t carried
Senator Castle said the amendment
killed the bin anyway because congress
never would pass tsuch crazy bill,
drawn in violation Of all the rules Of
banking and against common senSP,',
The reason he had not introduced the
concurrent resolution he had promised
to draft was that Norman Lyman, the
intFoducer, had refused to accept the
offer and by his refusal had plainly
disclosed the purpose Of the bill. The
National Act required the farmer seek
ing loan to put up security. That
was what Representative Lyman didn Z
want.
Senator Pacheco retorted that the
bill might be crazy but IL represented
laudable aspiration, it expressed the
experience Of those on the soil, closest
to the problem.

row BREAKS OUT
Short and Ugly Word Passes
Between Baggageman and
Harbormaster

3Thek long simmerina SroW i betweeu
James II. Love, the baggageman, and
Captain Foster, harbormaster, broke
out anew at meeting of the harbor
board yesterday, when the short and
ugly word was passed between the two
men, sFfa
Love recently wrote to the board,
complaining that he had been roughly
and unfairly treated by Foster while
in pursuit of his duties on the wharf,
soliciting baggage. He said that Fos-
ter and Harbor Officer Calvert had
virtually attacked him.
The board took no action on the let
ter, and yesterday Love appeared be-
fore the board to demand that il do
so. Foster was also present and testi-
fed that he had once told Love that
he considered him Zone of the worst
baggagemen on the wharf He said
that Love Is methods of soliciting bag
gage had more than once caused com.
plant on the part Of passengers.
Love called Foster liar and the
harbormaster returned the compliment.
The board didn 4 do anything, except
take the matter under advisemant.
On recommendation Of the United
States army engineers Office the board
granted the request Of A. H. Hobart,
superintendent engineer Of the Stand
ard American Dredging Company to be
allowed to move the company's boats,
scows and other machinery at night IN
the harbor. Superintendent Hobard
wrote the board that most Of the work
had to be done at high tide owing to
shoal water over the area which the
company is engaged in dredging,
Commissioner Wakefield was not
present at the meeting, having depart
ed for the mainland.
