ARGUMENTS CONCLUDED.
Hearing of Mutual Fire Insurance
Case Before Judge Cox.

Hearing of Mutual Fire Insurance
Case Before Judge Cox.
Arguments were concluded today before
Judge Cox in Equity Court No. /, in the
Mutual File Insurance Company case, the
cause instituted by Andrew Archer and
Louis P. Shoemaker, who seek an injunc-
ton to restrain Timothy w. Murphy, AL
Janus L. johnson, George T. bearing,
William A. H. Church James w. Barker,
Matthew G. Emery. Jesse B. Wilson, James
T. Petty and James F. Oyster from or
ganizing as board Of managers of the
company. The concluding arguments were
made by Attorney William F. Mattingly.
representing the defendants. and Attorney
A. s. Worthington, representing the COM
plainants.
Judge Cox took the matter under con-
sideration. A decision WILL 1t is expected,
be rendered Monday.
The answer of the defendants to the bill
praying for an injunction, sets forth. among
other things. that while it is denied as
conclusion of law that the use of proxies at
elections Of the company, contrary to the
purpose for which they were attained or
given, would be illegal, the defendants
claim that the proxies referred to in the
bill Of the complainants were not improp
erly used or voted, and that no instructions
by the signers of such proxies were given
as to how or for whom they should be
voted.
1t Is denied in the answer that voting by
proxy was wholly unauthorized, and that
all such votes were void, and aver and
state that for at least twenty-five years
last past the uniform custom of the COM
pany at its annual elections has been for
the members to cast their votes by proxy,
and the number of votes cast by members
in person has been comparatively few
Denial Is also made of the allegation that
unless the court gives the relief prayed for
by the complainants the property and bus
mess of the company will pass into the
hands and under the control Of an unau-
thorized and illegal board Of managers;
that ths standing and credit of the COM
psny will be seriously and permanently
impaired, and that it's affairs will be
thrown into confusion, resulting in expen-
sive and uncertain litigation, to the great
injury of the compliments and of the COM
parry.
The only change made IN the personnel
Of the board of managers at the election
last month, it is stated, was that of Mr.
Timothy w. Murphy in place Of Mr. Tall
madge A. Lambert. 1t Is further en-
phatically denied that the affairs of the
company would suffer in any manner
whatsoever by the fact that Mr. Murphy
should take his place as member of the
board instead of Mr. Lambert.

RESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATION.
Representative COrliss Has u Substi-
tute for the Lodge Bill.

Representative Corliss of Michigan, whose
immigration measure was incorporated in
the legislation which passed the last Con-
gress, and was vetoed, has prepared a SUBJ
stitute to the Lodge immigration bill, which
he will offer as soon as the immigra lion
debate is opened. Concerning the substi-
tute, Mr.. Corliss says:
Il DO not approve of the narrow educa-
tional test embraced in the Lodge bill We
cannot afford in this country to base our
standard of humanity upon the educational
test, either in the application of our laws
TO immigration, civil servics or citizenship.
The test that should be applied to every
human being seeking home upon Amer
lean soil should be. does the human being
possess a character and mind sufficiently
honorable and intelligent to become ANAL
gamated with the spirit of American in
situations and American manhood?
The bill provides for the exclusion of all
male aliens over sixteen years of aga who
do not possess sufficient mental capacity
ana knowledge to intelligently comprehend
the purpose and forms of government and
physical ability to support themselves and
families If any, in the lawful pursuits of
life. -
The bill places In the hands of the Sec
reiary OF the treasury power to establish
such regulations as may be necessary to
properly ascertain the physical ability and
mental capacity of all Immigrants
Il still preserve in my measure the re-
stTiction OF the birds of passage covering
an aliens over sixteen years of age who
come to this country like hawks for the
express purpose of stealing from our wage
earners the fruits of American labor. and
taking them back to their homes and fam
lies in foreign land
MY investigations show that from forty
to fifty thousand able-bodied men annually
come TO this country, and not to exceed 10
per cent thereof come from the provinces
OF Canada. have therefore excepted from
the birds Of passage the subjects of the
provinces of Canada contiguous to the
United states. My measure also forbids
the employment on any public works of
the United States of any but citizens"

Hawaii the Gibraltar OF the Pacific.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Elpraitar, the strongest fortress of the
world, as now armed and equipped by ma
turs and art, has been held by England
since 110i. 1t is the key of the Mediterra
mean, and menace to every port north
on the European and south on the African
coast, affording a secure naval station for
the outfit, repair and refreshment OF shins
CT war and merchantmen. With a spacious
iand-locked harbor, easily defended. as a
strategic point it commands the central
Atlantic. as well as the Mediterranean.
Hawaii is the natural stratag point 10

United States. Our coast extends from
Mexico to beyond Boring strait except the
small ocean frontage which the British
own from the 18th degree to the Alaskan
Isles. If Gen. Lewis Cass had had his way
the English would have been excluded

succeeded England would have had no

American Senate and the sugar trust be-
xsre.
Too long and too much has that trust

When 1t gets beyond a certain point the
American people win rise in their might

II Is trash and rot to say that we should
not annex these islands because OF the ad-
ditional expense to our naval budget" II
is hitting that such an argument, n il be

state, half way from ocean to ocean. The
small amount OF tax upon that small state
to support a navy up to the high standard

mere pittance- The sugar trust" would
spend more money than the whole tax of
that state for such a navy to buy even one
vote or to secure special. and to the trust

THE RELIEF OF THE POOR
Work Of the Associated Charities Unaffected
by the Mild Weather.
Oners Of Employment a Great Aid
List of Donations Through
Various Channels.

The work of the Associated Charities has
been in no wise diminished, though the
weather has become SO much warmer. Yes
terday and today have been the busiest
times for the stations. They have been
crowded in the different sections Of the city
with people applying for assistance. Secre-
tary Wilson says he is satisfied with the
work done.
The offers of the coal companies of en-
ployment to men recommended by the
Associated Charities has been a great help
to many families. Men who apply through
the Associated Charities will be given tick
cts emitting them to employment in the
street cleaning department. These tickets
are issued at the main office, 81 G street
northwest. and at all substations.
At the present, fuel seems to be the thing
most required. A ton of coal was con-
tributed yesterday to the charities by Mr..
d. e. Fox. Four loads Of secondhand
lumber to be used as fuel were donated by
also received. These. with the clothing
and other articles contributed, gathered to-
gether by the wagons Of the Adams Ex-
press Company. Merchants Parcel Deliv
cry and Woodward & Lothrop, were being
distributed today at the headquarters of the
central relief committee, 927 d street. The
orders for these were received at the Asso-
ciated Charities stations.
As Pressing as Ever.
Mr.. James E. Fitch, chairman of the
committee on finance. central relief COM
mittee, states that the charitable should
not relax their contributions, as demands
of the poor are just as pressing as ever.
The warm weather, while 1t may have a
good effect, cannot clothe or feed the needy.
Mrs. George Westinghouse yesterday con-
tributed 800 through the secretary of the
Associated Charities.
The following additional contributions
have been received by the treasurer of the
central relief committee:

weather Prophets Forecast for Las
Night and Today.

The weather predictions Of yesterday
were fulfilled today to the fullest extent,
perhaps more fully, in fact than was ex-

Its spinal column. At 8 o'clock last night
the mercury was just one point below
freezing. At midnight 1t had dropped to
q degrees. At o'clock this morning it
had fallen still lower to q degrees. At s
o'clock 1t had risen to "A degrees After
that hour the sun shone out brightly and
beautiful day was promised. The sun
Shine gave premonition of spring and
the slush was also a forecast of what it
will be later on. 1t clouded over. though
and grew considerably cooler The fore
cast for tonight is for threatening weather.
