A VICTORY FOR
THE COUNTY ACT
COURT GIVES A RUL-
ING FAVORABLE TO THE NEW
LAW.

The defenders Of the County Act won
one victory I'm the Supreme Court this
morning. On an objection from II. r.
Cooper, the court refused to allow ar
gument Of the proposition that the
Legislature has no right to pass 4
county act over the veto Of the gov
enor. Judge Highton was proceeding
to argue the matter when Cooper Oh.
Jected, saying that IT was a point not
brought forward in the agreed sub
mission, and that no new matter could
be brought up at this time. After con-
siderable discussion among the jus
tlces, the objection was sustained,
Frgar announcing that the court would
decline to hear argument ON the pro-
position.
The veto proposition was raised IN
the Senate by Senator Achi, II Is bas-
ed upon the recent amendment Of the
Organic Act, designed TO add to the
powers Of the Hawaiian Legislature TO
create counties, by removing the pro-
vision that the governor should APP
point all boards Of a public character
created by law. The amendment pro-
vides that the governor and the legis-
lature" may create counties, and IL
was claimed that this peculiar wording
took away the legislatures power to
override a veto Of such an act
Highton occupied az this morning
with his argument Of the various pro-
positions contained I'm the agreed sub
mission

MAIL LOOTED OF $1,000.
Mail Sack Containing a Registered
Package Cut Open.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Jan. 3.-The au-
thorties are greatly puzzled over the
mysterious disappearance of Il regis
tered letter containing $1,000 in cash.
The letter WAS sent out by the First
National bank of Madison and con-
signed to the Bank of Ramona AT RAJ
mona the mail sack containing the let
ter was delivered by Agent Northrop to
the Ramona carrier and placed on Il
dray preparatory to being taken to the
postottice.
The mail sack containing the regis
tered letter remained on the dray be-
tween five and ten minutes before the
carrier took charge and conveyed it to
the postotice. The robbery must have
been committed in that time.
Upon opening the mailsack and dis
tributing the mail, the postmaster
found the official letter of advice. but
the package was missing. The next
morning he discovered that the mail
sack had been cut open.
Between the two warehouses near the
railroad station the registered envelope
was found. 1t still contained five 81
bills, which evidently had been over
looked by the thief In His haste.
Further than this not the slightest
clew has ben secured. 1t Is thought
the robbery was committed by someone
who was aware of the shipment of the
package, and who proba ply was on the
same train which carried II TO Ramona.

NATURALIZATION FRAUDS
Defects in the Laws Pointed Out by
Secretary Hay

Washington, Jan. 6.--Secretary HAYS
report ana recommendations on the
naturalization of aliens laid before con
Sress yesterday shows that during the
calendar year of 1903 the state depart
ment issued 16111 passports, of which
,444, or 46.l per cent, were to natural
lzed citizens, and that American diplo-
matte and consular officers abroad is-
sued 4.2Sl passports, of which 2.lOS or
49, per cent, were to naturalized c;ti-
zens. While proof of citizenship is re-
CURED before passports are issued, says
tne report, no means can be evolved nv
"nlch the state department can prom
cry or satisfactorily review the action
ol me courts which under the law alone
nave power to naturaliZe aliens.
Many cases of false, fraudulent and
improper naturalization, Secretary Hay
says, come to the departments knowi-
edge and it is a thankless task when
persons for whose protection abroad
Inc government intervenes are discov
cred not to be entitled to the natr1ra|i
cation certificates they hold. The re-
port states that about 5000 separate
ana instinct courts now exercise the
power or naturalizing aliens and the
,' uies they apply vary SO widely that
NE intention of the constitution that
lhere snail be uniform rule of nat
ufailzatlon is effectually defeated
Inc cefll1lcateS of naturalization vary
SO widely in wording and appearances
mat when they are presented to the of
ncials OF foreign governments they are
oiteii not accepted as proof of Amer
lean citizenship until thew have hoo,
supported by additional proof. Score.
tary hays recommendations are that
,he law should restrict Naturalization
70 certain courts definitely named, and
iorold All other courts from entertain
ts CONTAMINATION proceedings; that
the nature of the tetimony upon whicb
naturalization may be conferred should
De more particularly prescribed by law
IMAM II is nov; that the language ana
form or certificates should be pre-
scfloed' that they should be printed
upon Il particular paper made for the
purpose so as to prevent the extensive
couh'erteltlng which now prevails and
that all courts having power to nat
uraiize should be required to make re-
turns OF naturalizations to the general
