The case of Ramirez vs. Main was thoroughly tried last evening by the embryo disciples of Blackstone, and at a. m. this morning, they adjourned over until today to look up authorities. The only single fact that could be agreed upon was that Mendoza was dead Frank Main gave d bond last evening for S5.OO0 with Theo. Gebler and F. c.

Brent, Secretary y-Treasurer of the IIli- uois Coal Operators Association; Charles w. Gilmore of the Crescent Coal and Mining Co, and George H. Holt of the Building Managers s Association. Evidence Is said to have been secured tending to prove that the operations of the alleged oonspiring dealers are planned in secret quarters in down town office building and that daily conferences were held un- til the present investigation began.

REPORT ON HAWAII
SATURNALIA OF DEFALCA- TIoNS CHANGED.
Committee Declares That the Admin istration of Governor Dole is
 Under Cloud-MismanAge-
 ment of the Leper Colony.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The Senate Com mittee on Porto, Rico and the Pacific Is lands met today to receive the report Of the sub-committe appointed at the close of the last session of Congress, to inves- ugate conditions in the Hawaiian Islands This subcommittee consisted of Senators Mitchell of Oregon, Burton of Kansas. Foster of Washington, Cockrell of Mis- sourt and Blackburn of Kentucky. The last two named did not visit the islands, hut Senator Blackburn joined in the rec concentrations, numbering twenty-nx. The visit to the islands was made last September and covered twenty five days, during which time forty-three meetings were held and 17S witnesses were inter rogated.
 The investigation was general and coV- cred all the questions with which the government possibly could be concerned. The co ldition of affairs in the lepsr set tIament. on the Island of MolokiL, excit- ed the liveliest interest.
 The committee recommends that the management of the colony be transferred to the Marine Hospital Service, with headouarters in Washington. and that general leprosar1o, or 'etreat for all the iepers of the United States, be established on that island.
 Al inc time of the visit of the commit tee. there were S5S .eproLs patients In the settlement. The opinion s expressed tho+ there are many hundreds of other cases of leprosy in the territory In the mast year in the Molokai settlement there were IA deaths and sixteen births in the colony, eight of the children born being ilIegitfmate.
 Much diversity of opinion was found in the territory sa to whether the control of
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-01-13

the settlement should be retained by the territorial government, though all the ter ritorial officers were found to be favor able to such retention. The committee takes strong ground In favor of a change, saying:
 Your committee has been somewhat surprised to find that under existing man. agement of the leper settlement. indis- criminate legitimate and ulegitimate CO., habitation Is permitted in the settlement. Marriages are suffered to be celebrated between leprous men and women. ChiL- dren are born in the settlement of lep- rous union and as a result of concubi- mage and the leading officials seem to re- gard all this not only as permissible. but protest vigorously against a system of segregation that would prevent 1t
 The committee adds
 ''The only attempt seemingly to abate or minimize this evil is by counselling and earnestly urging marriage on the part of lepers, even g0iRs so far in this direction as to aid in facilitating divorces, where a leprous man or woman has a wife or husband outside of the settle ment, so that the husband or wife thus released from the marriage obligation might again be married to a leper. an inmate of the settlement"
 Regarding the labor question, the com mittee takes up the effort on the part of business men of the islands to. secure the removal of some of the restrictions on Chinese immigration. Senators Mitch ell and Foster representaing a majority of the subcommittee, take very positive grounds in opposition to the plan.
 Senator Burton takes the opposite view. He says that neither the natives nor white men will work in the sugar fields and he calls attention to the freedom with which oriental labor was brought in the days of the monarchy.
 "It is," he says, "a well known fact that the country over there was very prosperous when 1t was a Kingdom, and continued very prosperous under the pro vincial government and under the repub- lie. It's period of decline began with an- nexation and matters have gone from bad to worse until today the cry of hard times is found everywhere through out the islands 4

ohild Labor in New York.

New York. Jan. 12-A remarkable rev. elation of child labor in this city is about to be made, which many who have studied the matter declare. says The Tribune. will show that more child labor exists in New York than in all the States of the South combined. The facts on which this reve- lation is based ave been gathered in the last six months by the Child Labor Com mission of New York. Since May, l,050 cases of child labor in the tenement re- zion have been personally investigated by skilled workers. These thousand cases are in no way singular. but representing thousands of others have been classified and tabuated on blaaks containing names. dates, addresses and sources Of information, furnishing a mass of original material for reference and publications Public school teachers, factory inspect ors, keepers of boys lodging houses and the children and parents themselves have furnished the facts.

SOME HOPE FOR IRELAND.
The Vexatious Land Question May
 Be Sattled.

New York, Jan. R.-The most notable event that has occurred in Ireland for sev- eral generations has been the agreement on the land question by representatives of landlords and tenants, according to a dispatcif-to The Tribune from London.
 Extreme land owners who al the outset did their utmost to make the Dublin mansion house conference futile, now see the representatives of the tenants are more than willing to go half way in an en- deavor to bring about permanent peace in agrarian Ireland.
 Chief Secretary Wyndham is anxious to make the most of the opportunity, and 1t is believed indeed that remier Balfour and the majority of the cabinet agree with the King that great effort should now be made to settle the whole question. What Is feared is that the treasury may face the situation in a hagsling spirit.
 The tenants are now full of expectation and are looking forward to obtaining holdings on the terms laid down by the representative, but if the treasury fails to give the necessary financial assistance the whole scheme will most assgrediy collapse.
