HITCHCOCK YIELDS POINT
President Orders Seer tary to Re-
yoke Order Under Which Action
on Timber Land Entries
Was Suspended.

A Washington dispatch says that
President Roosevelt, after a con-
ference with the Oregon Senators
Monday, directed Secretary Hitch
cock to abandon the practice that
has been in vogue for more than a
year past Of suspending all entries
made under the timber and stone
act in Oregon, Washington and
California. In accordance with
that direction, the Secretary issued
the following statement;
''The order under which final
action upon timber and stone
entries was suspended has been re-
voked by the Secretary of the In
terror, and all such entries will now
be acted upon in the General Land
Office in regular order"
This suspension served good
purpose, and was the means of pre-
venting many fraudulent entries.
While rigid scrutiny of all entries
under that act will be continued,
it will have the effect of allowing
all valid entries to be patented.
At the conference at the White
House Monday morning the public
land situation in Oregon was
thoroughly reviewed. The Senators
stoutly protested against the con-
tinuance OF the present policy of
the Interior Department, on the
ground that it worked inexcusable
hardship on bona fde settlers, and
was seriously retarding the develop
ment of the state.
While they admitted some fraud
had undoubtedly been committed,
they insisted that the detection of
fraud did not justify the extreme
methods that have been in vogue
since November, 1902. They told
the President that unless something
was done to relieve the strain the
vote of Oregon next year would be
seriously affected because of the
general discomfort of the people.
Due precaution will still be taken
to see that the timber and stone
act is not violated, but the OBJ
noxious practices complained of,
the apparently inexcusable delays,
and the unnecessary bounding of
entrymen, is to be done away with.
The President, living up to his
promise to the Oregon Senators two /

OBJECTION OF THE BANKS.
Opposed to Expulsion of Mexican Dol
lars From Manila.

Recent Manila advices to the War De-
partment throw light on the present agita-
ton in the Philippines over the proposed
expulsion of the Mexican dollar from cir
culation. 1t seems that the banks, mostly
conducted by foreigners. most siren
uous in their opposition to the proposed
abandonment of the Mexican dollar. the
principal currency medium in the Philip
pines. because of the large opportunities
it's use affords for making profits in ex-
change.
Before the Spanish war the Spanish au-
thorities in Manila had prohibited the inn
portation of Mexican dollars. their purpose
being to substitute currency the Spanish
Filipino peso. not quite so valuable the
Mexican dollar in its silver weight. The
Spanish authorities even went so far as II
import on their own account the Mexican
dollars into Manila and recon them into
pesos at a profit of about 10 per cent. The
pesos We're not popular. ard when Gen.
Merritt. the first amt rican military gov
ernor, took charge of the islands he found
that there was not enough money for bust
ness needs, therefore he ordered the sus-
pension of the decree prohibiting the i'm
Dortation of Mexican dollars. and these very
soon began to pour into the Islands IN
great volume from China The banks or
Manila had been ma king "a handsome profit
out of the Philippine peso, and just AS
they now resist the change to the American
peso SO they resisted Gen. Merritts order
allowing the importation of MeXicanS. But
an American peso having been provided for
by Congress- the other silver money of the
Islands must go. and the question now
pending before the Philippine commission
is simply as to the date when the new or
der can be made effective with the least de-
rangement of business.

ly after 3 o'clock this morning. Her con-
dition which made ii necessary for her to
go to the hospital. so the police were in

dron on serious charge When the case
was called in the Police Court the next

An autopsy performed over the body of
the dead woman at the morgue this after

therefore, may be dropped.

Inc government clerks in the Norfolk

permanent one. and the clerks can do moth

Now the hours are from 8 to II in the

afternoon There has been some talk of
designations as a result of the long hours
but none have developed yet. and if they
do there are hundreds of others waiting

OF the local photographic office, has recon-

BOARD OF CHARITIES TO ACT.
Investigation of Charges Against
Emergency Hospital Management

An investigation of the charges made by
DIR. w. II. Hawkes. relative to the manage
ment of the Emergency Hospital will be
made by the board Of charities. This in
vestigation was decided upon by the Dis
trict Commissioners this afternoon. when
order was issued directing the board of
charities TO proceed with an examination
into the charges made against the institu-
ton.
Several weeks ago DR. Hawkes.. a mem
Der of the board OF directors, and executive
officer of the institution for the month of
November. preferred charges against the
manner in which the affairs of the Emer-
gency Hospital We're conducted, and re-
quested the Commissioners to order an in
vestigation into the matter
Mr.. w. J. Boardman, president of the in
stitution, submitted a statement to the
Commissioners declaring that there was no
need for such an investigation, and ask
nored. Dr. Hawkes. presented reply to
Mr.. Boardman's statement. After consid-
ering both sides of the case the District
authorities decided that the statements
made by DR.. Hawkes. were of such a ma
ture as TO make an examination advisable.
It Is pointed out. however. that while the
Emergency Hospital is supported In large
part by government funds, IL is a private
Institution and under private control, and
that although the Commissioners in their
discretion may order an investigation of
the institution. they are without authority
: to correct any defects which might be
found to exist in the management of the
hospital.
The board of charities will proceed In the
matter under the direction of the Commits
sioners, and will submit the results of
their examination to the District authori-
ties.
For several years the recommendation
has been repeatedly made but without sue
cess, that provision be made by Congress
for placing institutions or the character of
the Emergency Hospital, and other insti-
tutions which are in large part supported
by public funds, under the control and su-
pervision of the Commissioners.
1t is suggested that recent developments
may operate to induce Congress to comply
with the suggestions of the District au-
thorities and enact such legislation as will
