R. R. HIT TO RETIRE
WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE FOR
REELECTION.

Representative Hit of Illinois, chairman
of the foreign affairs committee of the
House, has decided to retire from Congress
at the expiration of his present term, and
has so Informed his constituents. Continued
Ill health is assigned as the reason for this
decision. In a statement the subject Mr.
Hit said:
81 have at last concluded that l will re-
tire from the House of Representatives at
the end of my present term. This decision
is reached solely on account of the cond!-
ton of my health. My health has been good
enough to permit me to attend to all my
congressional duties during this session. but
after careful consideration of everything
have decided not to be candidate for re-
election"
Mr.. Hits retirement from public life will
remove from the Illinois delegation and
from the American Congress a man who
while not active as debater. is one OF the
most influential men of the House
Although native of Ohio, Mr.. Hit has
lived in Illinois since he was three years
old and his career has been one of extraor-
binary opportunities. He reported the de-
bates between Lincoln and Douglas, and he
has been associated with public affairs one
way or another, ever since. He was the
intimate friend of James G. Blaine, and was
peculiarly trusted by Thomas b. Reed so
that at one time, when those two men were
estranged, Mr.. Hit was almost the sole
connecting link between them.
He was the confidant of Lincoln and OF
Grant. and one of the original stenog-
raphers of the country was called upon to
report some of the most important congress
sional and national Investigations of the
stormy days of reconstruction.
In December, 1874 Mr.. Hit went to Paris
as secretary of legation and charge daft
flares. This was during the second Grant
administration, and he remained there until
1881. He went into the State Department
as assistant secretary in the latter year,
and In November, 1852. was elected to the
Forty-seventh Congress to fill the vacancy
caused by the death Of Representative
Hawk. Since then he has served continu-
ousiy.

THE EFFECT OF SPECIAL ACTS

Representative Morrell of Pennsylvania,
a member of the District of Columbia COM
mittee, spoke at some length in the House
of Representatives today in advocacy of his
bill to change the present system OF street
extensions and land COMBINATIONS In the
District of Columbia. Mr.. Morrell has for
some time been conducting an exhaustive
inquiry into the whole subject and his re-
marks showed evidence of much thought
and study. He was heard with attention by
many members of the House. The subject
of Mr.. Morrell's speech Is particularly time
ly, in view of the heated discussion in the
House last District day, three weeks ago.
of the street extensions proposition.
The Morrell Bill.
The Morrell measure nodifes and re-
enacts the highway act of 1898 and pro-
vides that the United States shall pay
one-third of all damages and property
taken for streets exceeding sixty
feet In width, and shall be made party
to and be represented by it's attorney for
this district in all condemnation proceed

in the ten or eleven sections which define
the court machinery and the modus oper-

bills REQUIRE a dedication OF from two
thirds to three-fourths OF the land required

In General Terms a Good Law.

"In general terms" said Mr. Morrell,
this law may be said to be a good law.
and had it been rigidly adhered to by Con-
gress It's effects would have been beneficial.
On account, however, of the appeal pro-
vision which 1t contains. vigorous objec-
tions Were urged against 1t by Interested
parties, and out of this grew a fiourishng
body of special laws passed by Congress.
Very soon after the passage of the gem
eraI highway act, Congress was importuned
to pass special acts for the opening of GER
tain streets, and entered upoa career of
street legislation which has produced
something more than twenty special acts
After four or five years of experiment with
this species of legislation, sn effort was
made to arrange form which should be-
come model for all succeeding bills. and
which we have been told In this discussion
did become a model. In fact, / believe 1t
has been stated upon this floor that this
particular bill follows this prearranged
form word for word. The difficulty Is to
ascertain which of these numerous special
acts was the model.

THE YERKES ESTATE
MISS GRIGsBY To BRING SUIT
FOR A $4,000, 900 TRUST FUND.

Reports from New York indicate that
settlement of the estate of Charles T.
Yerkes, the traction magnate and million
aire. will be held up pending the settle
ment of a suit against the executors by
Miss Emile Grigsby for a 81, 600 600 trust
fund, which she claims was decided upon
by Mr.. Yerkes, although the details were
not perfected when he died.
Miss Grisgsby, who is living at her home
in New York at present, is said to be in
possession of letters, rough drafts of an
agreement relative to the establishment of
the trust fund and other documents which
she believes will give her suit legal stand
ing in the courts. Her intention of going
abroad Immediately following the death Of
Yerkes has now been abandoned and she
purposes to remain here to prosecute her
suit.
While it is known that Miss Grigshy is
in her Park avenue home, she still refuses
to be interviewed relative to the linking of
her name with that of the dead fnancier.
Intimate friends of the young womar
and persons who were in the Condolences
of Mr.. Yerkes during his final illness say
Ii was the expressed intention of the multi
millionaire to establish a trust fund for
Miss Grigsby: that it was to be secretly
arranged In order to avoid the unpleasa MT
notoriety that was bound to follow IL Ii
became publicly known, and they add that
since Mr. Yerkes' death came before the
matter was perfected, she. claiming to
have the necessary proofs to establish her
claim, is now ready to go into court and
not only ask for the money. but also to
wipe away the suspicious combination of
circumstances that only her uncommunica-
tiveness has made possible.
Already persons who are familiar with
the situation that was attendant upon the
Yerkes deathbed at the Waldorf-Astoria
have volunteered to give evidence In court
There are some who believe that the heirs
under the will which was filed recently in
Chicago Will try to arrange a settlement
with Miss Grigsby. fearing that a lawsuit
might result in upsetting the present ar
rangements that Clarence S. Knight the
Chicago lawyer, and Mrs Yerkes, the
widow, brought about.

Weakness of the Present Law.

AS member of the District committee"
said Mr.. MorreIl. Il have for a long time
been impressed with the fact that the pres
ent system of street extension in the Dis
trict of Columbia is unequal and incon-
gruous. Long before the discussion in the
House, January s, 1906 over the Kalorama
avenue bill, had begun an investigation,
not only of the system of the District but
of the other systems of other cities of the
United States. The motive which led me
to do this was that l might present a bill
for a general law which would remeoy
these incOngruities and inequalities.
Il now desire to present as comprehen-
sfvely as possible the weaknesses of the
present system and to outline the principles
upon which general bill should be drawn
The Washington system of street extension
rests upon four distinct bodies of law
These are: The general highway act of
1893, a series of special street extension
acts, the code of the District of Columbia
and provision of general appropriation
bills
Mr. Morrell then reviewed the familiar
provisions of the general highway act of
1903, under which street extensions are
now made, and which provides for the as
sessn1ent of one-haIf the ensuing damages
against the benefited land and one-half
against the District.

fngs relating to sIch streets 1t also pro-
vides for allowing the District to issue
bonds not exceeding S2,000,000 annually and
not exceeding $50, D00, 600 in all, in order to
provide fund for the payment of the dam
ages awarded against it in such condemna-
ton proceedings. 1t secures to any party
aggrieved by the final order Of the Supreme
Court of the District in any such proceed
ings the right of appeal TO the Court of
Appeals of the District.
AS to minor streets and alleys and county
roads not exceeding sixty feet in width, 1t
adopts the provisions of the District CODE
amended by the act of March 3, 1901
which do not require the United States to
pay anything, the matter being considered
purely local
Mr. Morreu believes that under the plan
he has proposed the burden of expense in
cident to the Development of the. capital city
may be made TO fall with reasonable i'm
partially upon the parties upon whom it
justly and equitably should rest and that
his plan would save d good deal of money
to the United States by convincing the peo-
pie of Washington they will be treated
fairly and thereby inducing them to act
justly toward the government of the Unit
ed States. If an attempt is made to compel
them, at their sole expense, to execute the
magnificent plans of Improvement prepared
by the officers of the United States for the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the national capital Mr.
Morrell thinks, they will simply recoup by
awarding eXOrbitant damages against the
use, and that they will also continue to at
tempt to obtain special legislation through
Congress, as they have been doing since
1888
Mr. Morrelfs object is to put an end to
abuses now existing and to control street
openings and extensions hereafter in a sys-
temattc way under fair and impartial gen
eral laws

HAS STILLED
DEMOCRATIC ROAR
CANDIDATES FOR DELEGATES TO
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION KICK
OVER DEFEAT.

The signs of a big row in the Demo-
cratic ranks appear to have been fol-
lowed by substance and calmer con-
ditions now prevail. The trouble arose
in the Second Precinct of the Fourth
District, At the primary election last
week w. a. Kinney the chairman of
the Democratic Territorial Central
Committee, Harry Juen and John Eff
finger were defeated as delegates to
all of the Democratic conventions. A
kick was raised and subsequently it
was claimed that through the efforts
of stephen Umauma the one armed
politician the defeat of the three whites
was secured. Subsequently it was
claimed that r. Beverley Kidd, the
Hearst leader Of the islands had caused
the defeat of the trio, through Umau-
ma. The defeat was alleged to have
been worked in the interests of A. NJ.
Brown so that weak men could be put
in the Democratic convention, and
Brown could control them.
A protest against the result of the
election was made to the Democratic
County chairman. The election was
declared null and void because it had
been held outside of the second pre-
cinct and Umauma who lives in the
first precinct had acted as a judge of
the election for the second. Nominal
tions for a new election were made last
night and the names of the three de-
feated men were on the list The cleo
ton will occur tomorrow night.
The attempt" said Kidd "to make
out that l am the man who hit the
Democratic Billy Patterson is ridicu-
lous. I am personally and politically
friendly to all of the defeated men and
made no effort whatever directly or
indirectly, to defeat them so far as
the representation that | am DESTROYS
of aiding Brown in his campaign is
concerned l brand such a statement as
false. I have always been of the be-
lief that Col. Curtis Iaukea was the
logical and strongest candidate for the
Democratic party to nominate for She
riff of Oahu county and I both in
formed him of such opinion and pledged
him my support should he decide to
accept the nomination. Now that he
has announced himself as a candidate
I will accord him the support and
loyalty that l had promised him months
before he ever began to seriously con-
slider accepting the nomination for
sheriff on our ticket"

he had had an understanding with his
