FUND
FOR LOUISSON
HOUSE COMMITTEE ADVERSE TO
SENDING HIM TO WASHINGTON
AS A COFFEE MAN.

The House Agricultural committee
this morning presented report against
the Wright resolution for an appro-
priation of $4,000 to send A. l.. Louis
son to Washington to exert his efforts
in behalf of the coffee bounty PROPOSE
ton. Wright moved that the report
be considered in committee of the
whole and made an address in favor
of his resolution. He said the islands
might have an income of million a
year from coffee and that the appro-
priation should he made for the en-
enlargement of the coffee industry.
f. r. Greenwell spoke in support
of Wright. He referred to the small
farmer" talk and said that if the le-
gislature could send a man to Wash
ington who would help the coffee in
dustry it would be easily worth $10,-
600.
Speaker Beckley stated that the mat
ter was one for careful consideration
as the matter of encouraging diVersi-
fled industries was very important.
Harris said that he was willing to
vote for $1,000 to encourage the coffee
industry, but didn't approve of a $1,000
appropriation for any one individual
to go to Washington. The proper per-
son to- look after the Perritory's in
terests in the matter was the delegate
to Congress, said Harris
The report was tabled to be con-
sidered with the appropriation bill, on
motion of Harris,

MUST BUILD
THE RAILROAD
SENATE AMENDS WINSTON RAIL
ROAD BILL COMPELLING COM
PANY TO BUILD FIVE MILES,

There was quite a discussion in the
Senate this morning at the second
reading of the Winston Railroad bill.
Senator Achi had the bill so amended
that the company could use any sort
of power exceut tseam locomotive.
Senator Baldwin and Dickey de-
clared that if the company was to be
exempted from the payment of taxes
that there must be some assurance that
it would build more than three miles
of the line. 1t might simply build up
Kalihi valley and then stop. The bill
was finally amended so that the COM
pany will be required to build 10 miles
within five years time.
The company is also to be required
to pay 1-2 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts to the government after the
first fifteen years of operation The
rates were fixed at cents a mile for
first class tickets and 4 cents per mile
for second class. The bill occupied
much of the session today. 1t Will
come up for third reading Tuesday.

Judge Husbands Will Probably De-
eide Saloon Ordinance Tomorrow
Il Is Said That He Will Decide 10
unconstitutional, Sustaining
Judge Sanders.
NOTES OF THE CIRCUIT COB RT

Circuit Judge l.. d. Husbands did
not decide the saloon closing ordinance
this morning in circuit court, but an
nounced that he would probably rem
der his decision tomorrow.
1t is said on what is considered re-
liable authority that Judge Husbands
will decide the ordinance unconstitu-
tioual, AS Police Judge Sanders did II
is reported, however, that the only or
principle reason he will assign for its
being unconstitutional is that the city
has no right to modify the restrio-
tions of the liquor traffic without
changing the provisions of the ordi-
nance under which the city license
are issued, and this has never been
done.
In other words, it seems from re-
ports that Judge Husbands is of the
opinion that the license held by sa-
loon keepers is in the nature Of con-
tract, with the city which the city
cannot amend without the consent Of
the saloon men themselves, who paid
for the privileges contained in the IL
oenses, and cannot be deprived Of
them as long as the license is in force.
This morning the jury cases were
taken up by Judge Husbands, and the
following jurors were impaneled:
J.H. Clark, Geo. L. Jones, John Per-
due, ". @. whitetield, H. W. Hand, John

COMING TO KENTUCKY.
THESE PEOPLE TRAVELLED IN
AN OPEN SKIFF.

After travelling over 800 miles down
the Mississippi river in an open skiff.
John Davis, aged 81, and his dsugh-
ter, Annie, aged 81, were forced to
abandon their voyage and pitch their
camp on the banks of the river near
st. Louis. They were in destitute
circumstances, and, having for shelter
only small canvas tent, the daugh-
ter was compelled to apply to the
police for relief.
The father and daughter started
five weeks ago from Clinton, Ia.
with the determination of drifting
down the river as far as Hickman,
KY, where they have friends. They
managed to battle the storms and pri-
vations Of the river trip until they
reached jefferson barracks, near st.
Louis. There they found that the ice
in the river rendered it impossible for
them to continue. 1t was with difficult
ty that they managed to make their
way to the shore, and when they had
brought their craft safely to the beach
they pitched their tent and prepared to
live until more propitious weather
would allow them to proceed on their
way.
After a week they found that their
store of provisions was exhausted and
the daughter was compelled to go out
and beg.

Police and Fire Commissioners will
Hold Regular Session Tonight.
Election OF Chief Of Police and Fire
Department-No Firemen
Appointments.
ALDERMEN MAY MEET TONIGHT

The regular meeting Of the police
and Gre commissioners will take place
this evening at the city hall. A num-
Der of important matters are to come
up before the board. There are four
members and they are tied up on sew
ersl propositions.
A chief Of police and chief of fire
department will be elected. 1t is
probable that the salary of chief Of
police will be increased from s75 to
500 a months aud that Chief Collins
will be reelected
Fire Chief James Wood will also be
reelected. Neither of the chiefs have
any opposition.
All the firemen will not be chosen,
as the board desires the council and
aldermen to enact an ordinance con-
forming to the second class charter,
which abolishes the Office of assistant
chief and provides for captain instead.
A lieutenant of police will probably
be elected. 1t was once thought that
possibly the board would do away
with the position of lieutenant, but
members Of it say that they will not.
Lieutenant 7. J. Moore and Officer
Guy Nance are applicants, and while
Officer Frank Harlan is not an appli-
cant. he received votes, making three
that were voted on for the position.
The board was tied on the election
of patrol wagon driver, Mr.. John
Austin receiving two votes and Mr..
Will Husbands. son of Master Com
missioner Clip Husbands receiving
two. 1t is not yet known whether
there has been any change in the
choice of the members since the last
meeting or not.
