colleagues of the civil commission are
studying the different legislative phas-
cs OF the situation preparatory to the
work Of cnacting new laws on Septem.

lively divided among them rs follows:
Judge Taft-Crown lands, land titles,

from the United States q good class
of government employees who shall
eventually replace army officers in
the civil administration.
Judge Wright-Internal improve

Henry c. 1dc-Banking and curren-

The commissioners have establish
ed offices in the same building with
General Macarthur and are receiving
