HOUSE WANTS TO
KNOW WHY GERMAN
SHIPS NOT MOVED
Resolution Requesting Harbor
Board to Explain Adopted on
Demand of KeIekolio

Why have the members Of the beard
Of harbor commissioners not yet taken
action toward removing the German
refugee ships from Honolulu harbor
as recommended by a resolution re-
Gently adopted in the house of repre-
sentatives?
The house today demanded an an
swer to this question by adopting a
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Bernard Kelekolio. keiekolio de-
Tended his measure in fiery speech
from the floor, asserting that the
crews of the steamers have threat
ened to destroy them
Let them take themselves out into
the harbor and blow themselves up"
the Hawaii solon shouted. q see the
harbor board mas put the ships under
a 100000 bond. What is $500,000 to
the German government? There is a
million dollars worth Of property on
the Honolulu waterfront"
The resolution Is as follows:
Whereas, it has appeared in the
|, recent issues of the local press di-
Vers statements and charges of the
impotency of the board Of harbor
commissioners in removing the Ger
man vessels from the respective
piers where they are now located,
and
Whereas, no definite results have
been accomplished by reason Of the
public's desire to have those vessels
removed before any menace or dam
age may be done to the harbor of
Honolulu, and
Whereas, in the opinion Of this
house such impotency on the part
CT the harbOr commissioners is a
1ereliction of it's duty to the people
of this territory, NJ.
Therefore, resolved, that said
board of harbor commissioners be
requested to inform this house the
reasons and cause Of why said ships
cannot be removed, and to submit
all papers, minutes Of meetings and
letters, II any, covering said subject
within forty-eight (4S) hours"
The resolution was adopted and re-
ferred to the committee on health, POI
lice and military. This committee to-
morrow will report on the resolution
recommending the removal of the Ger
man ships.
