ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.

Fernandez, as chairman of the spe-
cial committee to investigate the eco
nomic and industrial conditions exist
ing in consequence of the presence in
the Territory of aliens ineligible for
citizenship, submitted a long report at
the opening of the afternoon session of
the House. 1t discussed Bill 100 and
suggested that while the committee was
in sympathy with the ideas expressed
in the bill, it violated Section As of the
Organic Act.
The committee recommended further
bills to the House with the belief that
they would stand the assaults on them
in all the courts.
The first of these bills would provide
that all children born outside of the
United States of parents ineligible for
citizenship, shall attend school after
reaching the age of 10 and that such
child shall pay tuition fees of $3.50 per
month.
A second bill was to impose an extra
license in every case when licenses are
granted to persons Ineligible to become
citizens.
Sheldon's House Bill for the appoint
ment of District Magistrates for each
Judicial District was passed with the
amendment that they should be elected
by the Board of Supervisors instead of
appointed by the Governor.

THE SENATE.

Matters were somewhat inclined to
drag in the Senate yesterday until
Governor Carter sent in the nomination
of James c. Davis to be Superintendent
of Public Instruction. AS soon as the
message had been received containing
the nomination, Dickey moved that the
nomination be confirmed.
Achi objected to this, saying that if
this nomination were taken up and con-
firmed, then the recess appointments,
which have been postponed until April
s for consideration, should also be. And
he moved that this be done.
Bishop explained that there was no
need for heat about the matter. Some
of the recess nominations were to be
contested, whereas the nomination of
Davis was to fill vacancy which ex-
listed in the head of a department. 1t
was due to the public service that it
should be considered at once. And
then the Achi motion was beaten, and
the nomination of Davis was confirmed.

POOR MAN AGAIN.
IN.a1cAcIEs OF DEBATE.

The motion to postpone was lost and
Speaker Knudsen was about to put the
main question when Long suggested that
the boundary of the lire limits be the

cepted the amendment, but the Speaker
ruled that, the previous question hav.
ing been carried, amendments were not
in order unless a vote to reconsider
the vote were carried.
Reconsideration passed on Harris IS
motion.
A dispute arose over small section
of the bill between Long and Harris

THE GAME LAW.

On the order of the day, Senate Bill
"a, the game laws, came up for third
reading. Dowsett got the floor at once
and renewed his fight to save the ma
tive wild duck. He went at it, however,
differently from the manner he adopted
last week, because he was willing to let
sportsmen on Kauai and Niihau kill
the ducks, excepting in the regular
closed season. Elsewhere, the ducks
will be tabued for five years. The
amendment carried.
The bill was further amended so as
to permit game birds to be kept as
domestic pets, or for show or scientific
purposes. 1T then passed without dIs'
sent.
Senate Bill Ill, to provide a high
school for girls at Kona. Read second
time and referred to a special commit
tee from Hawaii, consisting of Paris,
Hewitt and Brown.
A letter from the House challenging
the Senate to game of baseball to be
played next Saturday was received,
and Dowsett moved that it be accepted
with the condition that only members
of the House and Senate be included in
the two mines. This carried and the
Senate adjourned, after ordering that
the baseball negotiations be kept out
of the minutes.

The bill met with opposition from
Cox, who thought that the adoption of
it would be hardship on many poor
people who might wish to build, but
would be prevented if they had to put
up expensive buildings.

Denver.-When Gabriel Jones, cash
Ter of the South Denver Bank, 125
South Broadway, returned from lunch
Tuesday at l2:45 o'clock, and entered
the door of the bank, he turned to see
a revolver in his face.
The man with the gun was backed
up by another with gun and the cash
Ter was marched from the front office
of the bank in behind the counter and
instructed to open the big steel safe
where all the money of the institution
was kept. He obeyed and about $1,000
in cash was secured by the hold-ups.
The cashier, hands in air, approached
the safe and was about to work the
combination when j. NJ. Greenlee,
tween First avenue and Irvington
place, on Broadway, entered the bank
with his bask book and $100 in cash.
and he, too, was held up. A moment
later a woman. whose identity has not
yet been revealed, but who will be To-
Gated by the police, in all probability,
and who may shed considerable light
on the robbery, entered the building.
She was compelled to stand up, facing
the wall, at the side of Greenlee. and
then the robbers proceeded to make
the cashier open the safe.
The cashier, Jones, spent fifteen min
utes in getting the big doors open.
During that time Greenlee stood
against the wall. The woman tainted
and. according to his statement, one Of
the hold-ups secured cup Of water
and dashed the water in her face.
Presently the woman recovered her
senses and began to scream, where
upon one of the holdups said:
"If you don't shut up, I'll drown
you"
Cashier Jones and President j. NJ.

away with $1,943.56.
A threatened run on the bank was
stopped by the appearance of Mr..
Campbell with bag containing $4,000,
which he had secured at the First Ma
tional Bank upon hearing of the rob-
berry.
Leaving the bank at the back door
the men got into a buggy and drove as
fast as they could away from the scene
of their crime.
The rig engaged by the robbers was
taken from the stables of McClelland

MAY DEFEAT SEA LEVEL.
Canal Commission May Reject Con
sulting Engineers Report.

Washington.-Altho the board or
consulting engineers has decided in
favor of "A sea level canal, it is yet An
open question whether the Panama
canal shall be sea level or a lock
water way. The decision of the board
was reached by vote of eight to tivo
in favor of the sea level project. Gen.
Davis and Messrs. Burr and Parsons
joining with the five foreign engineers
against lock canal.
The report of the board of engineers
probably will not be submitted TO
President Roosevelt for four or five
weeks. AS to the character of tho
great project, the report will not be
unanimous. In fact two reports, ono
by the majority and one by the mi
nority. will be submitted. These re-
ports the President will lay before tho
canal commission and Chief Engineer
Stevens for consideration.
1t is conceded by the advocates OF n
sea level canal that to construct such
money and time than to nild fock
canal. 1t is known tha IN the mind
of the President these are vital eLe-
ments. 1t is his desire that the canal
should be built as eXpeditiOusly as
possible and at no greater expense
than may be necessary to provide a
practicable water way. He personally
favors lock canal, but is determined
fully that the subject shall be constd-
cred thoroughly from all points OF
view before the final decision.
Chief Engineer Stevens OF the
Panama canal commission is coming
TO give the commission facts upon dif-
ferent phases of the work on the 18TH
mus, but more particularly his views
as to the type of canal This visit of
Mr.. Stevens indicates that the juda-
ment of the consulting board OF engi-
neers is not definitely to determine
the type, but that the commission will
earnestly take up The subject and
make recommendations. There seems
little doubt but that they will disagree
with the recommendations of the con.
sulting board for a sea level canal.

RAILROAD REGULATION.
Interstate Commerce Commission Fa.
vors Control of Rates.

Railroad rate making
was again considered by the Senate
committee on interstate commerce
Wednesday, but in an informal man
ner, as no measure has yet been pre-
sented to the committee upon which
it can base its action.
Views were expressed by several
members which indicated sharp di-
vision as far as the situation has de-
veloped.
There is the further indication that
majority of the committee will favor
measure giving the Interstate Com
merce Commission more power, which
means in some form control over rates
1t seems to be quite well understood
that three Republicans and enough
Democrats favor such legislation to
insure rate making bill being re
ported.
Informal discussion among Republi-
can members of the commission show
that the apprehension is felt that if a
bill should be reported by Republicans
and Democrats against the wish of a
majority of the Republican members
it would create a division in the party
that will work disorder in the future.
The Republicans who favor rate
to avoid rupture is to support con
servative measure in line with the rec
concentrations of the President.
Some opponents of a bill giving the
commission power over rates, eX-
pressed the hope after the adjourn
ment of the meeting that when the
views of the President have been set
forth an agreement can be reached by
the Republicans upon bill which can
be reported and passed without much
friction.
During the discussion Senator For
aker expressed the opinion that it
would be sufficient to meet the pres
ent situation if the Interstate Com
merce Commission be authorized to
take cognizance of complaints, bring
ing suits to enforce the laws, and that
all district attorneys be empowered to
prosecute such cases.
Senator Dolliver said he believed
that the movement for control of rates
had progressed to the extent that leg
islation short of giving some tribunal
of the government such power would
not be satisfactory.
