friends think that in a month or six
weeks she will be quite herself again.

THE TRANSPORTS
COST BIC MONEY
SECRETARY ROOT WANTS A Law
PASSED TO END
SERVICE.
SAYS 1T WOULD SAVE MUCH
MONEY.
Members of the House Committee to
Which He Made the Appeal Are said
to Favor the Proposition.

WASHINGTON, January g.-Secre-
tary Root, i'm going over Army uues-
uons before the House Committee on
Military Affairs today, made a strong
plea fer the passage of a bill permit
ung the abandonment of the transport
service to the Philippines. He based
his argument on two grounds. first
that the service was costing the gov
ernmeut more than by contract with
a transportation company and sec
Ond that the government i'm keeping
up the service, was preventing the es-
tablishmeht Of commercial lines and
the consequent development of COM
merce.
1t is stated that the transport SER
vice costs $4,000 600 a year, while the
same service could be done by con-
tract for about S6,OOO 600 or even less
Secretary Root recommended that
permission be given the War Depart
ment to contract with a steamship
company to transport troops and sup
piles at a fixed annual sum. He
thought the departments business
would be nearly sufficient to put new
steamship line from San Francisco to
Manila on a self-supporting basis, or
at least be in the nature of a subsidy
to enable such company to run long
enough to build up a profitable busi-
ness.
The members Of the committee lis
tened to the Secretary with close at
tention, and appeared favorably Gls-
posed toward the suggestion for eco
nOmical reasons. 1t is not clear, how
ever, Just what companies in the Pa
ciic are prepared to take up such
large business, though it is understood
that the Pacific Mail and others are
doing some figuring. one thing that
may prevent the speedy consummatior
of Secretary Roots plan is the ques-
ton of the Philippine tariff. The
steamship companies cannot be sure Of
their ground until the tariff bill is
passed. AS the Democrats i'm the Sem
ate threaten to make that an occasion
for long debate, the whole plan may BE-
delayed

CANAL BILL PASSED

WASHINGTON, January 9.-The
Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill passed
the House late this afternoon by pracu-
cally a unanimous vote. Only two MEM
bers out of 80 voted against it. Messrs.
Fletcher (RD Of Minnesota and Las
sitter CDD, of Virginia We're the only
two casting negative votes.
The bill as passed today authorizes
the President to secure from the states
of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, in be-
half Of the United States, control Of
such a portion of territory belonging
to said states as may be desirable and
necessary, on which to eXcavate, con-
struCt and protect a canal suitable to
the wants of modern navigation and
commerce and appropriates such a sum
as may be necessary to secure the con-
trol of the said territory.

NATURAL BORN VAGS
PORTO RICANS' BAD SHOWING IN
JAIL.
Constitute a Sixth of All the Prisoners
In Oahu Prison-Hard Labor a Good
Cure.

About one-siXth Of the prisoners now
i'm Oahu jail are Porto Ricans though
they do not constitute one in twenty
five of the population Of the Islands
There are 40 = them now serving terms
i'm Henry's big boarding house, all do
ing hard labor for Vagrancy. The total
number Of prisoners Of all races is 241.
About 40 Porto Ricans have served
terms already and been released and
among those there now, there is only
one Of the former lots. so that so Of
the immigrants from Porto Rico have
been i'm the Jail The fact that they do
not come for second terms is taken as
evidence that the punishment is a good
cure
The Porto Ricans in Jail are all work
ing much harder than they have to work
on plantations and they are not given
any privileges. Il do not make it
pleasant for them" said Captain Henry
"and l shall not do So The men have
no privileges and they are subject to a
strict discipline that is very different
from plantation life. / think the lesson
does good. This is shown by the fact
that the vags do not show up for a
second term. They lose no time i'm get
ting out of Honolulu and taking up
plantation work again, when they are
released"
Many of the vagrants now in the Jail
are serving six month terms. They are
put to work at rock-b breaking and all
of them probably deeply regret that
they ever left their plantation jobs.

CABLE PLANS
ON COMMERCE.
TAKES UP MATTER.
The Commercial Gable Company and
What it Proposes to Do-Chairman
Hepburn Favors Private Ownership

WASHINGTON, January 1O-The
House Committee on Commerce today
took up the subject of a Pacific cable.
The main question is whether the cable
shall be constructed by the Government
or by private parties. The hearing to-
day was devoted to an explanation by
George G, Ward, vice-president of the
Commercial Pacific Gable Company, Of
the plans of that company. He stated
that terms had been made for the man
ufacturing and laying Of a cable to
Honolulu by November 1st next and
the company intended to extend the ca
bic to Manila within two years from
next November. The manufacture of
the cable was now proceeding, he stat
ed at the rate Of 240 miles per month,
and the rate would be increased to Gao
miles per month. He gave the cost of
the project as between $40, 900, 900 and
S12 900, 900,
Cross-questioning by Chairman Hep
burn and Messrs. Corllss and Mann
tended to develop the question whether
or not the company, by having an eX-
elusive field, would maintain high rates.
Ward gave the expected rate to Manila
lat 81 and Honolulu 80 cents to so cents
a word. The hearing will continue to-
morrow.
Inquiry among the members of the
committee indicated that the hearing
had not progressed far enough for them
to reach a definite choice between gov
ernment and private ownership. 1t is
known, however, that Chairman Hep
burn is strongly in favor of private
ownership, and his influence with the
committee is very strong.

.KOHN MAKES REPLY
MOTION TO RETRY PEARL HAIR
BOR CASE.
Juror Who Was Objected to Replies to
United States Attorney Dunne's
Charge of Bias.

The motion for a new trial in the
case Of the United States against the
Honolulu Plantation company was sub
mitted to Judge Estee this morning
without argument, each side to file
briefs. Dunno will file his brief on
Monday and Silliman will answer with
in three days, so that the matter may
be decided by the end of next week
NJ M. KOhn, the juror who was said
to be biased, has filed an affidavit in
reply to the statements in the motion
filed by Dunno. Dunno stated as one
of the reasons why a new trial should
be granted that Kohn had not been free
from bias, and that he had been a client
Of Silliman, a fact which did not come
out when he was examined as a juror.
In his affidavit Kohn states that he
answered truthfully and without eva
sion every question that was put to
him before he was accepted as juror,
and that he went into the case with
out any prejudice of any kind.
KOhn denies that the relation of at
tOrney and client exists between him
and Silliman or Hatch He states that
in 1899 Silliman was attorney for him
in an action begun in his behalf by
Humphreys and Andrews, and that
subsequently both Humphreys and Sill
Imam went on the bench The matter
was closed up as far as Silliman was
concerned at that time and the rela-
tionsip of attorney and client ceased
to exist

DR. WALTERS INJURED
HORSE FALLS WITH RIDER ON
TRAMWAY TRACK.
Physician sustains Severe Injuries That
May Prove Fatal-Case Hangs in sus-
pense Twenty Four Hours.

A serious accident was sustained by
DR. ST. O.. Walters shortly before mid
night last evening I'm which he fell with
his horse, sustaining severe cerebral i'm
iuries from the effects of which ha still
lies in precarious condition at his
home
After attending To- an emergency case
with DIR. Herbert DR. Walters was on
his way home along Beretania street ON
horseback where, according Co an eye
witness of the accident, G.. H. Berg
strom, the horse had gotten beyond the
doctors control and was running away.
The doctor, who is an excellent horse
man, was evidently giving the animal
her head intending to tire her out He
was sitting easily in the saddle when
the animal who was going at top speed,
slipped on the tram car rails at the
junction of Beretania and PunchbOwl
and fell heavily, bearing its rider tl the
ground and falling on top Of him Berg
strom dragged the doctor to the side
walk where with the assistance Of r
well known merchant. who was driving
bN, ne got the physicians head on the
saddle which had been torn from the
horse. A mounted patrolmau caught
the horse and was then despatched for
the patrol wagon which took the in
jured man to his residence on King
street, where he was attended by Drs.
Herbert and Cooper. He recovered con-
sciousness in a short while and rested
easily during the night
DR.. Herbert the partner of DR.. wal
ters, stated this morning that he was
still i'm a serious condition. Although
there is no apparent fracture it is still
possible that there may be some slight
crack in the skull or that the mem
branes have been dangerously bruised
by the blow. The metacarpal bones OF
his left hand are broken. The patient
is not as well this morning as might be
hoped for although the physical reae-
tion from the fall is Just starting in.
Nothing positive can be determined as
TO his degree of danger until this even
ing, such cases sometimes taking from
eighteen to twenty four hours to de-
velop. The injured man has strong vi
tality and DR.. Herbert hopes that he
will come through all right
