KINGSTON INCIDENT CAUSE
Residents of Island as a

ment of Admiral Davis.

Ldn4on, Jan. 25.-There is good
reason to believe that Governor Swet-
tenham of Jamaica, has forwarded his
resignation to the colonial Office. The
officials there say that they are not
prepared to either confirm or deny
the report, but they admit having re.
ceived several kilograms of con-
fidential nature from Governor Sweet

II is freely stated at the colonial
of the recent difficulty at Kingston
would be found in Governor Swetten-
hams letter of resignation and the
reply to inquiries at the colonial Of
fee tends to confirm the report that
the Governor has intimated his will.
lngness to retire from his post.
1t is freely stated at the colonial
and the other government offices that
it is impossible for Governor SWEET
tenham to remain in office, not only
because of the incident involving the
withdrawal of the American warships,
but also on account of the protests
against his shabby treatment of Ad
miral Davis received from the inhab.
itants of Kingston and the island in
general.

taxable valuations of new and old
counties the revenue the proposed
new county would have and what the
cost of its maintenance would be, and
how easily 1t could be carried. His
calculations are as full of holes as a

the figures he submits, and they will
soon so be shown.
Carlsbad, and all the other towns

Of district attorneys.
A. B. Renehan of Santa Fe. entered
the floor Of the House not knowing
of the cruST VI exclusion OF non
members and was asked to retire by
the sergeant at arms, which he did
with apologies.
Mr.. Abbott, of Santa Fe, moved that
the rules be further suspended and
that House Bill Number 1 be read a
second and third time preparatory to
its passage. Mr.. Ruppe called for the
roll Mr. Abbott's motion prevailed
by vote of II ayes; nayes.
The bill was read the second and
third time by title and Mr.. Abbott of
Santa Fe, then moved that it be pass
ed by the House. Mr.. Beach second
ed the motion.
Mr.. Abbott of Santa Fe, then Sc
cured recognition and made a strong
pointed plea for the bill on behalf
of the people of the Territory.
Mr.. Ruppe then opposed the pas
sage of the bill without further con.
sideration. Mr. Abbott of Santa Fe,
replied in defense of prompt consid-
GRAFTON of the measure, saying that
he thought the legislators were sent
to the Assembly to "do things" and
not to wrangle and waste time.
Mr.. Ruppe then spoke against the
bill attacking it along political lines.
Mr.. Abbott defended the bill most
ably declaring that it was a simple
measure for the common good and
should be passed at once.
He said it placed the power of Sc
lecting officials in the hands of the
people where 1t rightfully belonged
In the interim of the next general
election, he argued that If a district
attorney could be appointed at all
then the members of the Council, 12
men selected by the people could make
such an appointment better than one
man. Mr.. Abbott was listened to
closely by all present and his argu.
ments carried weight on all sides.
LET us vote for the best interests of
the people," was his watchword.
Mr.. Hudspeth then spoke in opposi-
ton to the immediate passage OF the
BILL declaring that more deliberation
should be used
Mr.. Abbott of Colfax County also
spoke against the passage of the bill
without further consideration.
Speaker Baca then put the motion
of Mr.. Abbott of Santa Fe, that the bill
be passed. The roll was read, the
bill passing the House by vote Of
seventeen ayes and seven nays
The vote by roll was as follows:

ON SHIPMENTS OF COAL
Alleges Use of Stock in Fuel
Companies as Bribe..-
Some Suggestions.

Washington, Jan. 25-The Inter
state Commerce Commission today
submitted to Congress It's first report
on determinations and monopolles au
thoriZed under the Tillman-Gillespie
resolution. The report deals with the
bituminous coal carried east of the
Ohio River, the roads involved being
the Norfolk and Western, the Chesa.
peake and Ohio. the Baltimore and
Ohio, the Pennsylvania, the Buffalo
Rochester and Pittsburg, the beach di
vision of the New York Central, the
Pittsburg, Shawmut and Northern, the
Buffalo and Susquehanna and the West
Virginia Central and Pittsburg (now
the Western Maryland),
The report says that all the above
companies own. either directly or by
stock ownership in other companies,
large interests in coal lands.
AS a result of it's findings the com
mission makes the following recon-
mendationS.
Recommendations Of Commission.
I'd That every common carrier
engaged in the interstate transporta-
tion of coal be required to make pub
lie a system Of car distribution In ef.
feet upon its railroad and the several
divisions thereof, showing exactly how
the equipment for coal service is d.
vided between the several divisions
OF Its road.
"(2) That where the capacity of
the lines Is used as a basis for the
distribution of equipment, that fair
and equitable rating of the mines be
acquired.
"(3) That after a reasonable time
the carriers engaged in Interstate
Commerce be prohibited from using
individual or private cars for hsna-
ling such coal traf'ic.
"(4) That every carrier engaged
in Interstate Commerce be forbidden
after reasonable time to own or
have any interest in, either directly
or indirectly In any operated coal
properties, except such as are exclu.
sively for their own fuel supply, and
that the ownership either directly or
indirectly by officers or employees of
common carriers of any coal proper
ties or Of any of the stock Of any
coal company along the line of road
by which they employed be prohibit.
ed" -~
Stock Used as Brbe.
Some stock In coal concerns ac-
quired by the railroad men is legi-
innate, says the report, but in any
event its holding is unwise, under
the circumstances In other instances
the report says that such stock Is
given to obtain favorable considera-
ton from the railway officers and en-
ployes. The most tlagant offender in
this respect, concludes the commits
sion, is the Pennsylvania Railroad, al
though similar conditions prevail to
a certain extent on the Baltimore &
nh;o poi1nav
