"Regarding tho new boats of the

It Is my unbiased opinion that when tho

In conversation with Mr. Sprcckcls,

demand even larger boats than tho

was ordered, when J. V. Klllkoa nnd J.

II. II Mnkckau then took tho floor
nnd stated that he had not found any
thing in the Constitution, likewise tho
Organic Act that g-no the Housi- tho
right to remove Mr Cooper. He did
find, however In the Orginle Act, Sec.
01. "that there shall be a Secretary of
tho said Territory, who shall he ap
pointed by the President, by and with

of the United States. Ho shall record

'It lodks to me ns If the adoption of
tho Decklcy resolution Is against all

allowed to remain.

stated that article C9 ot the Organic Act
provides thnt he Is autbnrlzcd to do

Tho letter of tho law may lead some
of you to think, but If youwlll look up
tho lnws jou will find that every legis

J. K. Klhlo then spoke at length
upon tho resolution presented by Mr
Heckley, nnd found no reasons why tho
Secretary of tho Territory should be
allowed a desk on tho floor and found
nothing In tho Organic Act that pro
vides for his legal presenco on tho
floor. Ho moved Us adoption.
Mr. Emmeluth said that tho proceed
ings of tho Executive and Judicial
bodies shall always bo kept separate.
Tho secretary should have the right at
any tlmo to a copy of tho proceedings
of tho Houso, but no other trnnscrlb
Ing of any kind other than tho legnl'P:t tho holdings In which they nro

J. K Knkaula stated that It is with
in the provlneco of tho members to
