Madison. Wis, Jan. 14.-The 46th
legislative session in the history of the
state opened at noon today, the repub-
lican caucus nominees were elected

Gratis giving their honorary but empty
votes to their own favorites, then an
adjournment was taken till tomorrow

nor himself, as was the case two years
ago, presenting the document with his
own impressive enunciation. An adj
iournment till Monday evening fol
lowed to enable the speaker to ar
range the house committees.
The act of organization was but a
formal matter since the republican
caucuses of the night before had de-
termined whom all the officers should
be. At those meetings lively contests
we're waged, but only by ballot-not
by oratory or argument.

EXPECT TRUST
LEGISLATION

Washington, Jan. 13.-Following a
conference at the white house Sunday
night attended by Senator Aldrich and
deal of discussion yesterday among
republicans of the senate as to the
prospects of antitrust legislation dur
Speaker Henderson thert was a great
ing this session. The CONCLUSION Is
that some measure will be passed.
There will be no radical legislation,
said one prominent republican sena-
tor, "but measure embodying some.
features of the Knox bill may be
passed. 1t will be some time, how
ever, before the trust bills are taken
up and the senators will have time to
inform themselves on all phases of
the subject before the bill is brought,
before the senate"

private arrangement or by The Hague
tribunal would be hollow and almost
without results. Furthermore it is
held by Italy that there is really no
sufficient reason for a continuance of
the blockade, which is working great
harm to trade, as it already has had
it's full moral influence upon Castro
and longer punishment would serve
no useful purpose, in the Italian view.
The Italian government, it is stated,
remains thoroughly loyal to the alli-
ance into which it has entered with
Germany and Great Britain, but that
it is held will not necessarily operate
to prevent Italy using her moral in
fluence to have the alliance do what 1t
regards as right, while still keeping
within its lines.

tee finds that the policy pursued in
Hawaii with reference to those lands
is directly contrary to the policy pur-
sued in the United States. 1t is re-
marked that whereas the policy on
the mainland is to preserve the lands
for homes for the people, the policy
now being enforced in Hawaii seems
to be to utilize the public domain SOLE
ly for the purpose of revenue, ana
consequently but very little OF the
public lands are being sold, but large
tracts placed under long leases. a pol
icy which, in the judgment OF your
committee, should not be continued
under any circumstances or for any
length of time" In addition to the
recommendation that the leasing sys-
TEN be abolished, the committee sug-
gests that the control of the lands i'm
mediateIy be taken from the terrltor-
ial government and be vested in the
interior department at Washington
The appointment Of a surveyor gen.
eral for anG the creation Of two land
districts il the territory are recon-
mended, and it is suggested that the
secretary of the interior should be en-
powered to make a thorough investi-
cation of conditions pertaining to the
administration of the lands.

Judge Under Cloud.
The committee refers to charges of
corruption and incompetency made
against Judge John W. Kalua, circuit
judge in the second judicial circuit in
the island, and gives the testimony
adduced in support of the charges. 1t,
however, makes no comment but says
that Judge Kalua made no reply to
the charges.
Speaking of the Treatment of EN-
ployes on the large plantations the
committee expresses the opinion that
good provision in the way of houses
is made for them and adds that all
of those employed seem to be flying
in happiness and cOntentment. In
addition to houses, fuel and medical
attendance, farm laborers receive
from SIG to $40 per month.
The committee finds much reason
for encouragement in respect to the
coffee industry in the islands and
recommends bounty of four cents a
pound for ten years.

Musk.

popular notion that the musk OF COM

a mistake. There is obtained a some

the musk deer, creature that is care

in the crude state and is used not only
in the manufacture of the liquid per-
fume sold as musk, but also in very
small quantities to give strength and
staying power to many perfumes made
from the essential oils of flowers.
Curiously enough, the blossoms of
Two native plants have noticeably
musky odor One is the small yellow
blossom of creeping vine known as
the musk plant. Its odor is marked
and is counterfeited in the commercial
perfume called musk. The other is
the bloodroot. The pure white bios
som OF that early spring plant has a
distinct though delicate musky odor. A
bean known as the musk bean is q

MANY DEMONSTRATORS.
Street Railway Tracks Being Torn Up
in DUBUQUE,

Dubuque, April 13.-For the first
time in the history of Dubuque the city
council has granted street railway
company the privilege of tearing up
its tracks on one of the principal streets
OF the city.
After n fight of over two years du-
ration the Union Electric Company has
scored a victory against over 100 re-
monstrators, and will no longer run
cars on Iowa street.
So intense was the interest in the
outcome of the traction fight that it
was believed for a time that 1t would
be the principal issue for the last mu-
nicipal election. Notwithstanding the
fact that every property owner on the
street was opposed to allowing the
Union Electric Company to discontinue
service on the thoroughfare, the council
agreed to allow the company to tear up
its tracks on condition that it improve
it's service on Main street and other inn
portant thoroughfores.
The demonstrators announce that
they will continue their fight and car
nv their cause into the courts. They
claim that with no street car service
the value of the property along Iowa
street will materially decrease.

Art Even In sewing .. !. Button

/ Art Even In Sewing on Button.
There is art even in such q prosaic
matter as sewing on buttons. The
ordinary operator makes knot in the
cotton, passes the needle through the
material from the under part and
cheerfully accomplishes her task. The
stronger the thread the more satisfied
she will be. But when the garment is
dealt with in the wash and ironing
time comes round the knot upon which
the work had depended forms hard
dump, which cannot possibly resist the
heavy and sharp sides of the iron, the
latter cuts it of, or certainly impairs
its strength, and the wearer is left but
tonless,
The moral is obvious. Start sewing
from the outside or from the inside be-
fore putting on the button. The latter,
being fairly tight, will protect the knot
and the smooth thread at the back will
not be cut
