VISIT WAIALEE
ON SUNDAY TRIP

Senator S. L. Desha, chairman of
the education committee. announced
today that the senators and a number
of the representatives will visit Wal
alec Industrial School next Sunday.
The proposed visit to Molokai has
been put over until week from that
date 49,.
Opinions were divided, today in the
senate as to the proposal by Senator
Cooke of the health committee to limit
the Kalaupapa visitors to that CON-
mittee, the health committee from the
house and few others. Senator W. T.
Robinson says that he believes it the
duty Of all the members to go to the
settlement and he will stand for such
visit despite the fact that it will
cost $3.50 to charter a vessel.
President .Chillingworth favors the
idea of lessening the number of those
who will make the trip. Such sena-
tors and representatives as desire to
go should be allowed the trip. he says,
but otherwise there is no reason for
taking all of them.

PLEBISCITE BILL

Consideration of the senate bill pro-
Riding plebiscite at which the voters
may decide on the prohibition question
will be taken up by the house Judici-
airy committee the latter part of this
week, Chairman Lorrin Andrews an
nounced today. ..-. ...:...- ~.....
Chairman Andrews says that, per-
sonally. there is doabt in his mind
whether the bill would hold for the
reason that il provides a plebiscite
after the bill has been passed -
1T seems to me" he says, that the
cart is before the horse. as the saying
goes. 1t seems to me the right way
to go about this thing would be to
have plebiscite where the people
could vote for or against the passage
iCf a prohibition bill" -. 49,:
This, however, is Chairman An
drews' personal opinion. What the
committee viii decide on this point is
"a matter of conjecture and probably
will not be known until next week.
Andrews now is looking into the legal
ity of the measure.
As soon as the judiciary committee
.of the house completes work on bills
now being gone over, It will take up
for consideration the senate measure
providing for the abatement Of vice by
injunction. -.
Consideration OF this measure will
come as soon as the committee has
finished with, or reported out on the
bills relating to prohibition and work
mans compensation. The prohibition
bill is to be taken up the latter part
of this week and the compensation
bills probably sooner. >.,= z. -.
Chairman Lorrin Andrews expects
to reach the abatement bill early next
week. If it is deemed necessary, or If
the request is made. public hearing
on the measure will be held. II.
