AMERICANS HOG EVERYTHING
Examples Of II Furnished by Mayor Todd
or San Juan, Porto Rico.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O,-Whle the legis-
lative assembly, the Supreme Court OF
Porto Rico and the Federal court of the
island are housed in ill lighted i'll ventilated
and totally inadoIuate buildings, the Ameri-
can officials in Porto Rico occupy the public
STRUCTURES and palaces as residences, pay
no rent and have their light, their ice and
many other private requirements furnished
free of cost to them. This was the COM
plant which Mayor Todd of San Juan made
to-day to the House committee on lhsuar
Affairs.
Mayor Todd declared that every Ameri-
can official, with the exception of Auditor
Hynes, occupied a public building as his
home, and in a majority Of instances their
perquistes were also furnished to them
free of cost. In contrast to this he pointed
out that the Legislative assembly was
obliged to meet in building not at all
fitted to its needs. and in such a noisy
neighborhood that when the assembly
was in session it was necessary TO station
policemen at adjacent streets to keep tralhc
away SO that the proceedings might be
conducted. Whenever there was a matter
Of great public interest being considered
there was no room for more than very
limited number of spectators to DE present
The Supreme Court of the island, accord
ing to Mayor Todd occupies dlngy little
room, where it is necessary to burn kcro-
sene lamps IL the sun is not shining outside.
The Secretary of the island lives in the
main portion of the so-caled pink palace y
as a residence, while the Federal court is
forced to meet in a remote corner OF the
building. to which it is only possible to gain
access by means Of door cut through
an adjoining building. All these officers
occupy these buildings "a taer residences

PHILIPPINES TARIFF BILL.
some Of Its Opponents Heard by the Senate
Committee ON Finance.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 20.-The Senate Com
mittee on Finance to-day heard Henry W.,
Peabody, an importer Of Boston; Thomas
Hopkins, a Washington lawyer; Capt.
Charles E. Palmer of the International
Banking Company and Senator Newlands
of ..evGda.
All the witnesses except Senator New
lards represented the interests direct or
collateral OF Smith, Bell 4 Co. Of Manila,
anexporting firm which had made large pur-
chases of sugar at high prices and had it
stored in American warehouses. 1t was
represented that the firm relied on existing
law in making its purchase and stood to
lose half a million dollars il the Philippine
bill passed in its present form. Capt. Palmer
of the International Banking Company,
n creditor of Smith Bell & Co.. said the
passage of the bill in its present form night
lead to business failures and panic.
Senator Newlands addressed his remarks
to general conditions in the Philippines.
He opposed the bill and said he was moro
opposed to free trade. His reason was not
only due to his belief in the protective prin-
ciple, but also to the fact that free trade
with the Philippines would promote GER
tain commercial relations and ties which
might make necessary the retention of the
Philippines, and Mr.. Newlands said he was
opposed to retaining the islands.
1t developed at the hearing that four
Republican members Of the committee are
opposed to the bill in the form in which it
passed and that all the Democrats oppose

consider it step in the direction OF free

R0DEY FOR JOINT STATEHOOD
Former Delegate From New Mexico Favors
tho Hamilton Blll,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 Former Delegate
Rodey of New Mexico was to-day before
the House Committee on Territories in ad-
vocacy OF the Hamilton Statehood bill
Originally, and even now, Mr.. Rodey adj
mitted he would prefer to have Arizona
and New Mexico admitted as States sepa-
rately but he realized that this could not
he done, and he therefore favored Joint
statehood. Much of his time was devoted
to an explanation OF the manner in which
the debts of the two Territories could be
funded and paid of under joint statehood
In answer TO questions Mr.. Rodey sought
to disa buse the minds OF the committee Of
the idea that q large portion of the popu-
lation of New Mexico were unable to speak
English He admitted that there were
court interpreters in eight or nine Of the
twenty-six counties of the Territory. and
that il was the custom to employ an inter-
prefer in the Legislature. He did not think
it was necessary, however, but az long as
law and custom provided the Office, there
were always people who wanted to fll it.
Extoling the native New Mexcans, those Of
Spanish blood, MIR, Rodey exclaimed:
why, they are as good and true Amen-
can citizens as you will find anywhere;
better than most Of the foreign population
They we're American citizens when most

are now crititising them were tramping

moved to-day by surgeons at the Jefferson
Hospital. magnet had been depended
upon to draw out the steel, but it failed
to move the splinter Thenupon for

Dr. W. W. Keen proposed the magnet
experiment. The steel was imbedded in
the brain fibre and he decided that II it
could be withdrawn by this means the
operation would be attended by less danger
than by cutting.
On Wednesday afternoon the magnet
was applied, but because OF hemorrhage
that resulted when the wound was opened
failed to accomplish any result. To-day
the patient was again etherizod at a clinic
before a large body Of medical professors
and students from the jefferson College
and the University Of Pennsylvania.
The wound was opened and the magnet
was held therein by Dr. Keen for about
steel. A formation Of gangrenous pus
neutralized its power DR., Keen consulted
with OF her surgeons present. Finally, the
pus was pierced and behind il, lodged in
the brain, appeared the point Of the s.oel.
A pair of forceps were used to extract l.,

The Government VIII Ask That 1t lie Ati-
yanced for Early Hearing.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.--Solicitor-G General
Hoyt, on behalf of the Government, will
ask the Supreme Court to advance for
early hearing the appeal Of Senator Joseph
r, Burton from the sentence Of six months
imprisonment and $4,000 fine, imposed
by the Federal Court of st. Louis for ac-
ccpting retainers from the Rialto Grain
and Stock Company, whose case was pend
ing before the Post Office Department.
The Governments brief says that Senator
Burton has not participated in the delibera-
tions of the Senate since he was indicted
two years ago and that consequently the
State OF Kansas has not been fully repre-
sented during that period Under the
statutes, it adds, the office hold by Mr..
Burton will be vacated if the conviction is
affirmed, and it was therefore of great i'm
porlancc to the people and State of Kansas
that the court pass upon /: promptly.

MAY PUT IT UP TO THE SENATE
COMMITTEE LIKELY TO REPORT
SEVERAL RATE BILLS.
n Four Democrats Vote for the DOlllNer
Measure II VIII Have Majority In the
Commit. Chairman Elkins Has a
IjiiI which lie Will Produce soon.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Gradually the
views of members of the Senate Committee
on Interstate Commerce in regard to rail-
way rate legislation are taking form. Meet
ings are being held more frequently, and II
is expected that by the time the House
has passed a bill the Senate committee
will have given sufficient consideration to
the subject to know how every member
of the committee stands,
Up to this time he Democratic members
Of the committee have apparently held the
balance Of power Should they decide
to agree on a party measure it would be
douL full if any bill now before the COM
miitee would command majority OF the
vote, in that body. Some time ago it was
suggested in a Democratic caucus that
the minority OF tine committee ought to
frame a measure and vote for it for party
reasons.
One Democratic member Of the committee,
Mr.. 1illman Of South Carolina, who IA at
the head OF the minority. has bill. Two
other DemoC ratio Senators. not members
of the committee, Morgan OF Alabama and
Culberson Of Texas have introduced meas
ures, But the Democrats on tine commit
tee while they have taken keen interest
in the discussion Of the bills proposed by
the Republican members. have discussed
none Of the Democratic suggestions. Four
of the five Democratic members Of the COM
mittee are from the South and have shown
more interest apparently in securing
provision that the Interstate Commerce
regulations proposed are not to interfere
with the separate coach, or Jim Grow"
car laws of the Southern States.
If the Democrats decide to vote W it'll
Senator Doliver in favor of the Admins
tration bill, which he has introduced, or
even if the four Southern Democrats do so,
that measure would have majority of the
committee for the Dolliver bill has the
support of its author and Senator Cullom
of Illinois and Clapp Of Minnesota, Republi-
cans.
At the committees meeting to-day there
was not a quorum present, but those who
attended gave informal consideration to
the Foraker bill and some features of the Dol
liver bill The chairman, Mr.. Elkins, has
