I Apparently the welldefined plan to
report the charter out today with the
convention pan virtually adopted
has been changed since the Chamber
OF Commerce began to show its oppo-
sition.
Early this week the speaker of the
house was informed that he might ex-
pect the report on Thursday.
No meeting has been held on the
charter for several days and there was
some doubt whether one would be held
this afternoon. Members of the dele.
cation say It may be week or even
longer, before the report on the charter
bill will be made to the house.
AS announced recently in the Star
Bulletin, the city charter bill, with one
or two exceptions, practically has been
agreed to by the entire delegation OF
the house.
Il has been agreed, members say, to
have six supervisors elected, three

Interpretation of the house rules by
Speaker Holstein this morning delay
ed presentation to the house of the
Chamber of Commences declaration
OF views" on the new city charter.
Speaker Holstein, comforting with
Secretary Brown OF the chamber, held
thai the charter is still in the hands
OF a special committee--the Oahu del
egation-and therefore is not before
the whole house. Hence, he maintain
ed, the house cannot at this time re-
ceiye the Committee of One Hundred.
Following this Interpretation, when
the chambers letter, asking opportu-
nifty for the committee TO come before
the house, was read, II was received
and placed on file, without any spe-
cific action to arrange to meet the
committee.
When the letter from the chamber,
requesting that the house hear the
declaration" at O'Clock this after
noon was placed on file, Speaker Hol-
not hear the declaration"
Strong opposition TO the house con-
sidering the chambers request was
expressed on the floor. No statement
was sE1ade In defense OF the request.
Andrews Calls Il premature"
This is Premature" declared repre-.
sentative Lorrin Andrews. "The Oahu
delegation has never refused to give
a hearing on the charter bill. One has
been held already. There is nothing
now before the house pertaining to
the matter brought nm nv fhe cham
bers letter. The charter bin is be-
fore committee. We are perfectly
willing to have another public hear
ing"
Referring to the request for 2
O'Clock hearing. Speaker IIolstein
said:
The house usually concludes its
business before O'Clock II would
have to, be mere courtesy to receive
this delegation, not a matter Of right
But it's up to the house If IL desires
an afternoon session"
The speaker added he thought that
such a matter should be brought be-
fore the house by a member Of the
house In a petition or resolution. and
not by the Chamber OF Commerce. OF

Plan OF
BOTANY GARDENS

recommendation to table House
Bill So, setting aside certain lands in
South Hilo district for botanical gar
dens, was made by the senate lands
committee this AFTERNOON in its report
to the other memoirs.
The bill came to the senate only
after close vote in the house, taken
after considerable debate on tie mat
ter.
According to the report filed this
afternoon there are too many original
lessee& on the proposed district to
make such a change feasible. The
city of Hilo has also recently erected
a $4,000 rock crusher on the land, it is
said 1t was felt that adequate ground
for the high school there is already
provided.
House Bill s, providing for disposi.
tion of house lots in Waiau Iii Of PHI
honua, South Hilo, by lottery was de-
clared favorable to the committee.
The report recommended the tabI-
ing of House. Concurrent Resolution 3
which measure authorized the land
commissioner to issue patents4o all
applicants under Section 70 Of the
Organic Act, stating that the commits
sioner is now carrying out his work
with expediency- and no such resoIu
tion is necessary.
Committee Approves Two Bills
House Bills 138 and "a, The only
two handed down by the senate judi.
ciary committee today, we're given
favorable mention in the report of
that body.
So many bills have been tabled so
far by this committee that one senator
remarked under his breath as the re-
port was read this afternoon, Some
body must have had a superstition
against tabling bills on Friday"
Be that as it may, however, these
two which relate respectively to at.
taehment and to a time limit when
executions shall be returnable found
favor in the eyes of the committee.
Rumor has it that not less than half
a dozen bills are slated for the AK

GOVERNOR HAS
SENATE FRIENDS
TO GRANT FUND

Senator r. Fl. Makekau OF Hawaii,
one OF the few Democrats in the upper
house, heartily opposes the resolution
introduced by Speaker Holstein in the
lower house yesterday proposing to
delete entirely Gov Pinkham's $780,
600 contingent fund. s*=
Other senators today also expressed
disfavof with the resolution of yester-
day, and one voiced the feeling that
il was not in keeping with the respOR-
sibility legislators hold Makekau
comes out flatfooted against it.
az do not think it is right to cut out
this fund, as proposed by Speaker
Holstein," said Makekau today Con
tingent funds have always been pro.
vided for governors since the govern
ment was organized.
IF il be true, as is claimed, that
Gov Pinkham has not spent the fund
judiciously in the past that is no rea-
son to throw out the fund entirely.
The governors office is a respon-
sible one" continues the Hawaiian
senator, and certainly deserving of
some money for the entertainment of
distinguished guests from the main
land. s".. ..<..- -.
This legislature has appropriated
$4,000 for the proposed visit of con-
gressmen and other distinguished
people, but why should we let the gov
ernor go without any fund whatever
TO entertain them. 1t would be entire
ly proper for him to show them the
due amount of respect from his office
by receptions and in other ways.
1T is rumored that Secretary Dan
iels of the navy department, and Sec,
rotary Baker of the war department
will visit these islands before d great
while. II they come are We going to
leave the governor powerless to show
them the customary proper courtesies
that one high official would show an:
