EAGER FOR LAW
House Members Urging
the Hawaiian Bill.
Early Hearing NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Are GiVen-Hint of Spe-
Cial EnactmsntS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Ths Ha-
waiian bill was agreed 10 in committee
some days ago, and Chairman Knox
OF the committee on territories is
drawing up the report for the House.
There was some idea that the bill
might be taken up this week, but.
owing 10 the press of business, il went
over with the understanding that a
strong effort would be made next week
TO get a hearing then or soon after.
Mr.. Knox and Mr.. Hit, the latter be-
ing one of the Hawaiian commission
ers, say that no purpose is manifest
to postpone the legislation until the
next Congress meets. They say also
that it is imperative that legislation
OF some character shall be enacted.
One reason cited for this is that there
has been a large influx of Japanese
immigrants to Hawaii since the an
neXation law was enacted, and that
some 10000 contract labor Japanese
will be brought into Hawaii and then
into the United States. For this rea-
son the extension of United States i'm
migration restrictions to Hawaii is
held to be of first importance. \ SINH
lar view is taken as to extending the
United States customs and revenue
| laws TO the islands. The latter extern
| sion is effected by a special bill, which
has already passed the House and i:
| pending in the Senate. There is {
growing disposition among those in.
