FLOGGING or CHINESE COOLIES.

Special Gable Despatch 10 TRR SUN,
LONDON, March 2l.-The session of the
House of Commons to-day was absorbed
with a discussion of South Africa. There
were two debates, which resulted in big
Government majorities.
The first question was Mr.. Chamberlain's
proposal to appoint a royal commission on
the Chinese labor problem. This was de-
feated.
The second question concerned Viscount
Miners allowing corporal punishment to
be inflicted on coolies when he was High
COMMISSIONS for South Africa. The de-
bate on this question centred on a motion
offered by Mr.. Byles formally c~ensuring
Viscount Miner. Much sharp language was
INDUCED in by Mr.. Winston Churchill and
Mr.. Chamberlain.
Mr.. Churchill moved an amendment con-
demning flogging as a breach Of the law,
but declaring that the Houss In the interests

INSURANCE BILL CHANGED.
Armstrong Committee Anxious to Put
Through the One Affecting Elections.

Armstrong ANXIOUS 10 Fut
Through the One Affecting Elections.
ALBANY, March 21.-Assemblynlan Prem
tice, who has been working with the
revisers of the Armstrong committee in
surance bills in New York came to Albany
tonight especially to attend a meeting Of
the Joint legislative committee which is
considering the bills. Mr.. Prentice brought
with him from Senator Armstrong and Mr..
Hughes the revised bill providing for the
election next November of new boards Of
trustees for all mutual life insurance COM
panies in the State.
Word has reached the Armstrong COM
mittee that the agents Of the big mutual
companies are seeking to defeat the bill.
At the hearing last week the insurance COM
panies devoted their entire attention to
this measure.
The next annual meeting of any of the
mutual companies will be that Of the New
York Life on April II. The Armstrong
committee feels that the law affecting
the election of mutual company trustees
should be on the statute books before that
time.
In order to make it absolutely certain
that the present trustees cannot make
use of the agents in securing proxies the
bill has been amended in a most important
particular. The bill as originally introduced
provided that no proxies secured prior to
July 1 next could be voted at the November
election. The bill has now been amended
30 that proxies secured prior to September
is next cannot be voted at the November
election.
In order that the new trustees elected
shall not be forced out of Office before they
can get acquainted with the workings of
the companies the bill provides that no
election shall be held in 1907, 80 that they
will hold office until the regular annual
meeting in 1908.
BY this means the agents cannot defeat
the will of the people who wish to reform
the management of the companies in the
interests of the policyholders.
This revised bill will be reported favor
ably in both the Senate and Assembly to-
morrow.

TO DIVORCE III. X. HUNTINGTON.
wife OF Southern Calf OrnIa's Richest Man
Charges DesertiOn.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2l.-Great sur
prise was caused here to-day by the filing
of a suit late this afternoon by Mrs. Henry
X. Huntington against her husband for
divorce on the ground Of deeertion. The
complaint says the couple nave lived apart
since 1900.
Peter F. Burns, special counsel for the
Southern Pacific Company, appeared as her
attorney and the case was set for tomorrow
morning in Judge Graham's court. 1t Is
understood that no contest will be made
and that the divorce will be granted in hall
an hour. The plaintiffs attorney says
that property arrangements have all been
made outside Of court.
Mr.. Huntington was here yesterday, but
left last night for Los Angeles, where he
will now make his home. After Huntington
went TO Los Angeles in 1885 and bought the
electric street car system Mrs. Huntington
remained here at the jackson street home
with her daughters. Mr.. Huntington made
frequent visits here, and it Ia said that four
wears ago he tried to induce his wife to
move to Los Angeles. where he had bought
a fine residence. She refused, and the
rupture was final.
Since then Mr.. Huntington has bought
millions of dollars worth Of suburban prop
erty near Los Angelica and has extended
his electric lines until now he is the richest
ma in southern California. He received
the bulk of the estate OF Coils P. Hunting
ton, his uncle, and his wealth is now fixed
at $50, 900, 600. His son Howard, who re-
Gently married, is associated with his father
in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Huntington was the eldest daughter
Of Samuel W. Holiday, a pioneer lawyer
and brother Of Ben Holiday, remembered
as a pony express founder.

OF Improving Her Health.

velt's cruise on the yacht Mayfower to the
West Indies will be taken because OF the
impaired condition of her health. The
wife of the President has been far from

and go to Florida by rail, then go aboard
the Mayfower and sail at leisure through
Southern waters, stopping where they
choose in Cuba, Porto Rico and, perhaps,
some Of the smaller islands. They will
be away, 1t is said, about two weeks.

CHAUFFEUR SUES GEN. BRYCE.
says He's No Personal Servant and Was
Improperly Imported.

Gen. Lloyd s. Bryce is the defendant in
an action brought in the United States
Circuit Court by a chauffeur whom he has
dismissed. The man, whose name is Raoul
Maillard, says that he was wrongly dis
scribed as a personal or domestic servant"
when he was brought to this country under
contract and that to bring in an automobile
driver that way is a violation Of the Alien
Contract Labor law, although personal or
domestic servants are excepted from the
prohibition of the law.
The penalty for violating the law is 81 900
fine, and the statute allows either the United
States or any person including the imported
alien, to sue for it as if for a debt, the pro-
oeeds, however, going into the Treasury
of the United States. The Secretary Of the
Treasury, il is stated, is authorized to make
a reasonable compensation out Of the re-
covery to the informer; at any rate this is
what Maillard seeks to get.

BIG CUTS IN
BILL OF COSTS
LOSS OF RECORD HINDERS JUDGE
DE BOLT IN REACHING CONCLU-
SIONS

Judge De Bolt this morning gave a
decision in the matter of the costs in
the Browns Spreckels case, reducing the
bill of costs to $1,33S, cutting off about
$7OO from the original bill. In deciding
the matter the judge said:
Owing to the vague, conjectural and
indefinite character of much of the
evidence offered together with the loss
of the record in this case, | am unable
to reach a perfectly satisfactory con-
clusion as to the amount of costs to be
allowed. In some instances it may
clearly appear that plaintiff is entitled
to recover something, but the lack Of
proper evidence leaves the amount un-
certain and conjectural Such proof
connot serve as basis for a judge
ment."

COMES BACK AGAIN

There was a rumor about town on
Sunday that the Molokans are to COM
bine and make a formal demand on the
government for something rot named
in the agreement they have with the
sugar company. Tracing this to it's
source it is learned that they had read
the statement of the English physician
that olive oil was the best food for the
skin and they want to require the plan
tation management to include sup
ply of that i'm their allowance. This
sounds improbable but the fact re-
mains that the only genuine non-cut-
tonseed olive oil sold in this market is
the Purita which is fun of the nutty
flavor of the olive Hebron Drug Co.,
handles this brand of oil exclusively,
and there is no substitute. Insist up
on Purita if you would have the pure

CHE FA
CASES
DROPPED

.Twenty-three cases, involving fifty
defendants, were nolle pressed in the
First Circuit Court this morning by
County Attorney Douthitt Twenty
one of them were lottery cases, all che
ia, the charges being either possession
of che ia tickets, or taking part in a
lottery. The county attorney stated
that after going through the cases he
had come to the conclusion that It was
n waste of time to try them and he pro-
posed to sweep them from the calen-
dar. The defendants were all dis
charged.
"It is useless to waste the time of the
court and iuries with these cases, said
Douthitt, cor to spend the Territory's
money trying them The evidence is
altogether defective. 1t is spy evidence
and much of it of the worst kind, and
trials would be a farce. For example,
in one case 1 found under investigation
that the Jap arrested had picked up a
cast off piece of paper in a rubbish
/ pile and was pounced upon by
'sleuth' while examining it, and charg-
| ed with having a che ia ticket in pos
| session. 1 am not going to waste my
time, or the time of the court or jury,
in attempting to prosecute such cases
as these"
