Justice Frederick Smyth, OF the Supreme Court.
asked by a Tribune reporter yesterday for an
expression OF opinion the legal aspects of the
Kentucky controversy. He said that he considered
1t somewhat extraordinary that Governor Taylor
should change the place Of meeting of the Legislat
ure. He sorry to see such state Of affairs
as at present existed in Kentucky, but could not
express opinion regarding the Governorship as
he sufficiently familiar with the facts and
the law In the case.
Justice Henry r.. Beekman, of the Supreme Court
said:
I do not know what the law of the State of Ken
lucky is or whether the processes of law have been
observed Unless man knows the facts and the
law both he cannot give opinion. and do not
know either. 1 do not think it would be proper for
judge in another State to pass upon facts, OF
which he knows nothing, about a law concerning
which he has not been advised.
Justice David Leventritt. of the Supreme Court.
said he did care to express an opinion on the
Kentucky controversy, and Justice Henry Bischon,
the Supreme Court, said he too busy with his
court work to discuss the subject.

HAWAIIAN BILL AMENDED.
MAKING THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT COR
RESPOND TO PRACTICES IN
THIS COUNTRY.

Washington. Feb. 5-Several changes in the
Hawaiian bill We're made by the House Com
mittee on Territories to-day. and in this form
print of the bill as revised was ordered prepara-
tory to reporting 1t tomorrow or next day. the
more important changes to-day were those CIV
ing to the President the appointment OF Judges
of the Supreme Court. and allowing appeals to
the United States Secretary of the Interior III
cases involving the conveyance of public lands
The original bill gave the appointment OF judges
to the Governor. and the propriety of the change
questioned by members of the Hawaiian
Commission on the ground that the effect would
be to import judicial office holders from the
United States.
The appeal allowed in land cases is analogous
to the practice in this country and is a partial
concession to those who desired that the entire
public land administration of Hawaii be turned
over to the General Land Office.
Other changes previously agreed on and incor-
porated in the final draft those doing away
with all property qualifications for voters. and
making each branch OF the Hawaiian Legislature
the judge of it's own elections, instead of vesting
this power in the Supreme Court.
In the main. the changes are said to be toward
Americanizing the measure. by making the pro-
posed form of Government conform to the prac-
tees in this country.

TAYLOR TELEGRAPHs TO ROOSEVELT
ALL LIBERTY LOVING PEOPLE IN KEN
lucky HONOR AND LOVE YOU"
HE SAYS

Albany. Feb. (Special). Roosevelt
received an interesting telegram from Governor
Taylor OF Kentucky tonight, in response to
statement made by the former on Friday last in
support of the latter. Governor Roosevelt on
Friday said to The Tribune correspondent. in
reply to an inquiry the subject:
Mr.. Taylor is Governor by every principle of
law and equity, and he and his followers must,
less and INSCRIPTIONS conspirators who are en-
deavoring to do by violence after election what
they failed to accomplish by the most scandalous
fraud prior to and during election.
The sole and undivided responsibility for all
bloodshed past or to come. lies with those same
conspirators and with all who in any way abet
them.
Under no circumstances whatever should there
be any backdown sby Governor Taylor and the
lawful government authorities in Kentucky, and
good and law abiding citizens throughout the
Union.
This is the only declaration yet made by Gov
ernor Roosevelt in regard to the conflict in Ken
lucky. There purported to be such a statement
from him in to-day's newspapers sent out last
night from here, but to-day he declared that he
had never made this latter alleged statement
that The Tribunes report OF Saturday last of his
remarks about Governor Taylor contained all
he had yet said upon this subject. The Governor
naturally does not wish remarks attributed to
him about Kentucky affairs which he never
made.
Governor Taylor thus telegraphed to Governor
I. Roosevelt: F.. i--.-
Frankfort KY, Feb. 5.
To Governor Roosevelt.
All liberty loving people in Kentucky honor
and love you. We are struggling for freedom
W. S. TAYLOR.
