SESSION
HAWAII
TIE SENSATION OF THEJDAY
HONOLTTLtr, T. H.. May 1. (By Mail.)
Scenes which rlvaJed some of the
tate legislature, sessions In the south
soon after the close of the civil war,
when nejrroes were in power, were
enacted in the house of representatives
in the closing- hours of the territorial
legislature of Hawaii. The session con
cluded' after 1 o'clock and was marked
by a. display of drunkenness and maud
lin Interruption by a number of the in
toxicated members, some of whom had
to be carried out after all too-frequent
Dips from bottles set under legislative
desks.
Decorum and dignity were swept
aside, and several of the'haole (white)
members left the session with disgust
plainly written on their faces. Three
of the native members were hopelessly
intoxicated before the session was over,
while a number felt so gay towards
midnight that they could not refrain
from singing hula songs in an under
tone, while the frowning speaker en
deavored to maintain order so that the
pressing business, such as the appro
priation bill, could be passed on third
reading.
Native Drink: Is Imbibed.
'Time and time again those under the
influence of okolehao (a local drink
that looks like gin and tastes like gin)
persisted in their efforts to interrupt
the work of the evening, playfully pro
posing absurd resolutions and motions.
Time and again they arose and swayed
over their desks to ask foolish ques
tions. No matter what the answer, the
question was invariably repeated,
sometimes in Hawaiian, sometimes
in English, and sometimes in pid
gin English. One representative de
manded that he be heard on a bill
which had been long since passed, and
had been signed by the governor. He
threatened to step up on hi3 desk the
better to speak to the house, and at
tendants forced him Into his chair
again. On one occasion, when called to
vote, he answered, "Oh, give me a glass '
of water this time. On another occa
sion, he got up and asked to "change
my vote right about face." His com
edy was the spur to the other intoxi
cated members and the excuse for their
loud guffaws and continuous pounding
.f the desks in high glee.
Another member, a morose sort of
person', ate oranges steadily throughout
the ssion, piling the peelings on his
iesk and quenching his thirst at inter
vals from a bottle which stood in his
wastebasket, in full view of the visi
tors', and the press .gallery. Still an
other had an obsession for getting un
steadily to his feet and "raising a point
of order" whenever possible.
Camp Follower Joins In ionics.
During the evening a political camp
follower, with a comfortable jag and
both hips well loaded, drifted into the
visitors' gallery which abuts the desks
of the members and aided the insur
gents to sing hula songs In an under
tone. The speaker had to argue with
the disciples of John Barleycorn more
tl.an half a hundred times and remind
them that the house was sitll in ses-f
sion. Wheraupan one of the members
Kot up and moved that "the action of
the house, be abolished." On the whole,
it was the most disgraceful orgy ever
witnessed in island legislative halls
and barkened back to the days of the
monarchy when sessions of the house
of nobles were accompanied by orgies
of many kinds.
BIGGER COMMITTEE LIKELY
FIGHT FOR, LARGER STEERING
BODY IX HOUSE PROGRESSING.
Indications Are That Few Members
Will Be Added, and Further
Changes Are Possible.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 15. With the arrival of
Representative Long-worth here this
week conferences will be held by those
members of the house, including Repre
sentative C. N. McArthur, who are seek
ing to enlarge the steering committee.
Reports for several days have indi
cated that the fight is virtually won
and that the following representatives
will be added, increasing the member
ship from six to ten: C. Bascom Slemp,
Virginia; Sydney nderson, Minnesota;
John 1. Nolan, California, and C. Frank
Reavts of Nebraska. The present mem
bers are: Samuel E. Winslow, Massa
chusetts; Thomas B. Dunn, New York;
J. Hampton Moore. Pensylvania; Nicho
las Longworth, Cincinnati; Martin R
Madden. Chicago, and Frank W. Mon
dell of Wyoming.
The interesting question is whether
the fight will stop at this. There is
some disposition to make a fight on the
confirmation of Representative Mondell
as floor leader and it is possible that
when the republicans meet in confer
ence next Saturday night Representa
tive Royal Johnson of South Dakota
will nominate Representative Long
worth in opposition to Mr. Mondell.
The success of Mr. Longworth will de
pend altogether on whether the forces
which elected Representative Frederick
H. Gillett speaker of the next house can
be held in line for the Ohio man.
ROAD CHANGE IS OPPOSED
Farmers on Southern Pacific Send
Delegation to State Engineer.
EUGENE, Or., May 15. (Special.)
Farmers who own land along the
Southern Pacific track between Cres
well and Walker, where it is proposed
to change the route of the Pacific high
way from the east side of the track
to the west side, to avoid two railroad
crossings, are protesting against the
chnnge as they do not desire to have
their farms cut up. A delegation called
upon R. A. Booth, state highway com
missioner and ths county court yester
day to voice their protest, but was
given little encouragement, as it is the
policy of the commission to rebuild the
highways wherever it Is possible to
eliminate railroad crossings. However,
Mr. Booth promised the farmers that j!
C. McLeod, assistant highway engineer,
who has been working in this local
ity, will go over the land with them
to see what can be done. According
to the plan of the commission and the
county court, there will be nearly fivR
miles of new construction on the west
side.
