by this body in any matter without my
signature as Speaker. There Is no par
tiamentary rule under which a Speak
er can be removed after having been
legally elected and no motion looking
to that end will be entertained by this
chair. Gentlemen, we will proceed with
the election of vice chairman"
Slight bursts of applause greeted this
speech, when it was given in English
and when he repeated in Hawaiian.
Beckley took his seat and silence reign
ed. No one seemed to know what to
propose. Representative Kumalae and
his neighbor Representative Aylett, en-
gagged III a conference, and BeCkley
waited for motions from the House.
ChillinSworth moYed that a recess be
taken TO 2 O'Clock THIS afternoon. An
drade seconded the motion and it was
carried. AS soon as the recess began
the Republican members got together
and discussed the situation, with a
view to forming a plan for the after
noon session.
Beckley was approached this morn
ing and given an intimation that if he
did not voluntarily resign he would be
removed as Speaker of the House. His
refusal to resign left it to the Repub-
licans to carry out their plan to re-
move him. f-.f
1t is claimed by some that the cleo
ton of Beckley as permanent Speaker
places him there for the session, while
on the other hand it is pointed out that
the House may adopt it's own rules
under which a majority may be giver
power to remove any of the officers.
The House has not yet adopted any
permanent rules, having merely adopt
Cd 1,A r.tJIa Of ha 1oG or tnr,
porarv rules. In the rules of the las
House is the following:
THE officers shall hold their severa
positions during the pleasure of tn,
House."
Under this rule the Republicans pro
pose to proceed. The present program
is to remove Beckley and go ahead witt
the carrying out of the program agreed
upon at the caucus,l last night.

The Supreme court today rendered
decision in the Proper divorce case de-
claring the publication of summons il
legal and setting forth some rules of law
which are of the most vital Importance
in a number of past cases and which
may invalidate other divorces granted.
In an opinion by Chief Justice Frear
the court expresses the hope" that
the decision will not cause great incon-
Venience, but says that whatever the
consequences such as possible illegite-
macy of children, or even prosecutions,
they cannot be avoided, for the law is
plain. The court would gladly have
decided otherwise, it is stated, if there
had been a basis for doing 50.
The case went to the Supreme Court
on an objection to the service of the
summons by publication, on the ground
that the publication had not been made
in the organ designated in the law pro-
viding for such publication. A large
number of cases are affected, having
been handled in the same way, and of
the arguments presented to the court
was that Il had been the practice for
some time to allow publications in the

WASHINGTON, d. c., February 10,
President Roosevelt declares that it
is his intention to call the Senate Cor
Congress) into extraordinary session
Immediately after the expiration of the
present session on March 4, unless the
Panama and the Cuban treaties are
ratified.
President Roosevelt has been unre-
hitting in his determination to secure
ratification of the Cuban treaty, and
under the pressure he has brought to
bear the opposition to it has apparently
assumed a less formidable shape. New
ertheless it has been strong enough and
active enough to postpone and defer
action, until now the end of the session
is so near that friends of the treaty
had begun to despair of it's being rati-
fed. The Panama canal treaty too is
one upon which the president has set his
heart. The principal opposition to this
and it is a high tribute to his strong
personality and influence, that the Pa
mama canal treaty, actively opposed by
him alone should be bracketted with
the Cuban treaty against which so
many men and interests are banded, in

entered q few minutes later. TIE
usual routine was then begun with the
reading of the minutes of the previous
session, which were approved.
Senator Isenberg then presented the
report of the finance committee for the
special session of the Senate. The re-
port enumerated the various expenses
connected with the special session Of
the Senate which amounted to S3S49.75
of which the salaries of the senator's
amounted to $4,000.
Senator Baldwin said that as the
people whom it was proposed to pay
had waited some time for their money,
he would move that a special apprO-
priation be made and that the repor-
be accepted. Senator c. Brown said
that the matter should be referred 10
some special committee with direction
to pay the bills.
Senator Achi said that time could be
saved If the duties of this committee
could be extended in order to include
the framing of a bill which would also
provide for the payment of the ex-
penses of the present session. This
amendment was accepted md passed,
the report of the committee being also
accepted. The chair then appointed
Senators G. Brown, Baldwin and Pal
mer Woods on this special finance COM
nittee to draft the appropriation tor
the expenses of the tw } sessions.
Senator Brown then gave nctice that
he would introduce bill to provide q
public depository for public furds.
At the request of President Crabbe
Senator Brown then took the chair in
order that Senator Crabbe coul1 have
the honor of introducing the bill pro-
viding county government. Senator
Crabbe evidently intended to merely
give notice of intention to introduce
the measure but he took the initiative
and had the measure put on the re-
cords of the Senate. This was done
by the Senate suspending the rules in
order that the bill could be introduced.
The measure was then passed to its
first reading by title.
A bill to knock out the Income Tax
was next introduced Senator Achi
presented this measure also under a

the Presidents pronunciamento Of pur-
pose.

The cablegram is not clear as to whe-
ther it is congress or merely the senate
that is to be called into extraordinary
session. Ordinarily il would only be
necessary to call the senate together to
ratify a treaty. But there was a de-
termined effort made in the commit
tee on Foreign Relations in the senate
to add to it an amendment which this
committee has recommended in the
case of all other reciprocity treaties,
providing that this treaty shall not
take effect until ratified by congress"
If this becomes a part of the treaty, it
Will require the action of both houses
TO give 1t effect, and therefore If the
treaty is not ratified before March 4,
both houses Will have to be called in
session.

WIFE SAYS HUSBAND
TRIED TO KILL HER
Sensational Charge In Divorce
Petition-Othcr News
Of the Courts.

Catherine A. Walters of Canton
has filed petition in court asking di-
vorce from her husband, Dana Wal
ters. The most serious charge which
is made in the petition is that the wife
says she believes her husband tried
to poison her while they were living
at New Castle, Pa, in 1899. After
drinking coffee she became violently
i'll, and during the sickness which fol-
lowed she says her husband gave her
no attention and in a month or SO af-
ter deserted her entirely and has not
lived with her since.
During their married life which be-
gan in Canton in 1898, it is charged
that the husband frequently struck
his wife and called her vile names. The
general charges are extreme cruelty
and willful absence for more than
years. There is one child years old.
which plaintiff demands be given into
her custody. Sterling and Braucher
are attorneys.

why STRUCTURAL
IRONWORKERS STRUCK
Claim Made That They Should
Receive Cleveland
Scale.

At noon Tuesday the fourteen
structural ironworkers employed on
the work at the new Hurford hotel
struck for higher wages and short
er working day. All the practical.
skilled labor refused to continue at
work until Contractor w. A. Bender
had acceded to their demands as a
whole.
The terms asked by the workmen
were an eight hour day and so cents
per hour for their work. They had
heen working 10 1-2 hours per day pre-
vious to the strike, at from % IL to
22 cents and 35 cents per hour. These
demands were first made Individually
and were Internationally refused by
Mr.. Bender. The men held a consulta-
ton and decided to affiliate with the
ironworkers' union of Cleveland with
which communication was opened.
The men then went before the local
trades council and presented their case
and were assured that their demands
would be sanctioned by the council as
entirely reasonable.
The organization was the result and
when their united demands were re-
fused the strike followed. The men
claim that their demands are reason
able as they ask the same wages which
structural ironworkers receive in
Cleveland and other large cities for
the same work and at the same risk.
They say that three of their number
have been injured in the last four days
while attending to the work.
Contractor Bender who is charge Of
the work, is said by the men to re-
ceive $22 per ton for the work and pays
out but 81 of this to the men under
him, When the strike occurred, Mr..
Bender Immediately hired number of
men to continue the work. but as they
are unskilled labor, the strikers say
that no progress will be made in the
erection of the framework. The strik-
ers have declared their intention of
staying out all summer IL necessary in
order to carry their point. Nine of
the strikers are Canton men.
