after THE TICKET SCALPERS
Railroad Men Organize to Defeat the
Brokers Who Speculate on

Local railway companies have come
together and furnished common grind
stone on which hatchets are being sharp
ened for ticket scalpers. These enter
prising persons have been doing a prof
liable business especially in tickets
from Butte to Missouri river and east
ern points by way Of Denver.
So we'll organized are the scalpers that
for travellers using tickets only to Den
yer, arrangements were made with
scalpers at that point for the purchase
of the unused parts. In order to throw
few obstacles in the way of Denver
and Butte brokers the companies have
decided to use a new form of contract
on all tickets reading through Denver.
The new contract ticket will be known
as the clock form. Its arrangement is
such that it will be impossible to sell a
ticket in Denver and use it beyond that
point. The ticket will be punched to
show the day and the hour the passenger
arrives in Denver. and the ticket will
be honored out of Denver only on the
first train leaving there after the pas
senger's arrival.
The new contract will go into effect
July l. 1t is probable that the clock
ticket will go into effect at other points
as we'll within short time. If the rail-
ways carry out what seems to be their
intention at present. ticket scalping Will
soon become improbable.

HAMMOCK JIM" VISITS BUTTE

Butte was visited last night by BAN
mock Jim," chief of the Indians of the
Lemhi reservation. He will stay in tn.
city few days, sight seeing, before re-
turning home to Salmon City, Idaho
Jim was logged out In his best garb,
and had the usual amount of red, white
and blue paint about his face. There
were other colOrs, but the national colors
predominated.
The big. Indian stated that he had a
great regard for the United States and
the people, and for number of years
he had insisted on his people using
greater amount of the three colors of
freedom than others, when they deco
rated their faces.
The chief Is interesting to talk with,
because Of the fact that he is thoroughly
acquainted with the conditions existing
among his people at the present time,
and how they have Jared for the past
several years since their habitation Of
the Lemhi reservation.
He drew his striped blanket closely
about him, and after a few seconds of
deep thought said he supposed his people
are as happy now as they were many
years ago when they were allowed to
roam at will over the wild and pic
turesque hunting grounds.
The chief insisted that the white PEG.
pie had been his friends, but it, could
easily be seen that there was something
which occasionally caused sadness to
creep into the life of the peculiar looking
red-man. Upon further inquiry, Jim re-
lated many experiences Of his younger
days and of the happy times his tribe
had when their government was their
own and their will the law.
The old Indian talked on for some time
and then stopped suddenly. AS though
the thought had struck him forcibly for
the first time, he said:
Indian go way soon. All die. Few
years more, no more"
He then started for Chief Of Police
Reynolds Office to call on that official
The Indian carries with him a letter
from former Senator George L. Shoup of
Idaho, which reads:

AN ARMY OF rs. 900.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-It has
been determined to increase the regular
Army to approximately rs 10 men, and
to leave it at that number unless con-
ditions in the Philippines should make
more troops necessary. The President
and Secretary Root reached this con-
clusion today, and the details will be
worked out by the Secretary and Cen
eral Miles. The number of officers APP
pointed will be as originally contem-
plated The artillery corps will be in
creased to it's full strength of $4,000 men.
Some time ago it was announced that
the companies of cavalry would contain
siXty-five instead of eighty enlisted
men, and it is expected the infantry
companies also will be reduced to bring
the total to the figure agreed upon. 1t
has not yet been determined what pro-
portion of the troops shall - stationed
in the Philippines although it is known
that large force will be needed there
for some time.

EXTRA SESSION CALLED
LEGISLATORS TO CONSIDER
APPROPRIATIONS.
If They DO Not Pass the Necessary
Bills Old Appropriations are Deemed
e-Enacted-The Proclamation.

The extra session of the legislature
for consideration of appropriations will
begin next Wednesday, May 8th and on
that day both house and senate will be
at work once more in Honolulu. The
members are paid 5000 each, or one
months aslary, for the session, but the
session may last beyond thirty days as
long as the lawmakers want to keep at
it, without pay. Sometimes Colonel
Mazuma is said to come to the rescue
in similar cases when members are up
against the danger of doing free work.
1t is thought in some quarters that
the session will be a very long one.
There are scores of petitions in the
hands of Clerk Meheula of the house
and Secretary Caypless of the Senate,
which were laid over to await consider
alton of the appropriation bill. Many
of them, however, belong to the loan
bill which failed to pass. Almost every
member has some petitions to fight for,
and there is not much money in sight.
One Home Rule plan that has been
discussed recently was to stay away
from the extra session altogether, re-
fusing to pass any bill, in the hope of
forcing the governor to call a general
extra session. This plan has been
abandoned, but was once favored by
some of the radical Home Rulers. 1t
would have re-enacted the old appro-
priations.
The proclamation issued by Governor
Dole, calling the extra session, is as
follows:
Whereas, The Legislature at it's reg
ular session of 1901 has failed to pass
appropriation bills providing for pay
ments of the necessary current eX-
penses of carrying on the Government
and meeting it's legal obligations.
81, Sanford b. Dole, Governor of the
Territory of Hawaii, by virtue of the
authority in me vested by law, here
by call the Legislature to meet in eX-
ira session for the consideration of APP
preparation bills for the coming bien-
NAL period, on Wednesday, the eighth
day of May, A. D., nineteen hundred
and one.
"In testimony whereof 1 have sub
scribed my name and caused the great
seal of the Territory to be hereto af-
fixed.
Done at the Capitol in Honolulu, this
first day of May, A. D., nineteen hum
dred and one.
"(Seal) SANFORD B. DOLE,
"By the Governor:
HENRY E. COOPER,
Secretary of the Territory"
The calling of an extra session for
consideration of the appropriations
was compulsory, the organic act declar-
ing that the governor shall call such a
session. If no appropriation bill is
passed, however, the old appropriation
bill remains in force. The organic act
says the old appropriation Shall be
deemed to have been reappropriated" in
such case.
