Rawlns has introduced more bills
than any other member of the Leg
islature and he has been very sue
cessful in getting them through both
Houses and up to the Governor. And
he has been equally fortunate in hay
ing them signed Up to this morn
ing "a of his measures had been
signed by the Governor.
Sheldon has run Rawlins a close
race in the introduction of bills. He
has not been quite SO successful,
however, in getting them through the
Legislature and by the Governor, but
this morning he had II laws to his
credit which is not so bad.
Kaleiopu and Rice were third
eaching having seven bills signed and
Correa stands in fourth place with
three. Moanauli, Castro Leleiwi and
Coney are the fathers of two laws
each, and the Governor has signed
che bill for each of the following
Representatives. Long, Pail, Kalu-
Ia, Kalana, Comes, Kahana, Hughes,
Quinn and Nakaleka. One of Kani-
hos bills was vetoed, but the veto
was overridden.

ORPHIUh TREAT 10NIGHI

There will be another treat at the
Orpheum tonight when Manager Ellie
ford will present the laughable com
edy drama, The Girl from Texas. ;"
There is fun galore and all the COM
pany have good parts and the play is
one of the coast hits. The action takes
place in England and shows the ell
deavors of an old aunt to marry her
niece into nobility but the niece pre-
fers a plain American. The duel in
the third act is extremely funny. There
will be speciaties by the Osborne chill
dren, Miss Matte Lloyd Luce and La
Nigne.
The American Girl will be given at
the Saturday matinee so the little ones
will have an opportunity to see the
Osborne children at Prince Roy and
The Little Lady.

Looking!
Back On
Session

j. Lor Wallach was visitor in the
spectators gallery this morning. He
sat there grinning and nodding to
the Wallachites and occasionally
shaking hands with some enthusiasts
tic adherent who rushed back to
shake. hands with the great man.
: But it's good deal better than an
even bet that when the next Legisla-
ture meets there will be no Doctor"
Wallach on hand to greet them.
It's dollars to doughnuts that live
worms and female rock moss will not
cut much of a figure in the delibera-
tions of the legislative session Of
1909.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1907-05-01

There is one measure which has been
bobbing around the Legislature all the
session, looking for father, but it is
still an unborn orphan. 1t is the
proposition to raise the pay Of the
Legislators.
OF course they don't want any more
pay Why should they? They are
serving their country from love of it,
and for the glory there is in the job.
What do they care for filthy lucfe?
But it wouldn't have made them
very mad il someone had only intro
Iduced the bill None of them would
refuse the extra compensation next
session.
The trouble was that the House
passed the buck to the Senate and the
Senate passed it back to the House.
Neither body wanted to be responsible
for originating the bill, though each
would have passed it joyously if only
the other had done so first. But as it
was, it died aborning.

After all, it has been a pretty good
| Legislature as Legislatures 8go. Ger
tainly it is a big improvement over
those that have previously made the
laws of the Territory. 1t has done
some weird things, 1t is true, such as
passing the WaIdch resolution, but on
the who.c its wCrl. las been good
| Several Important measures have been
passed and have become law. We have
Il new liquor law which is great i'm
provement over the abortion now in
operation We have the City and
County of Honolulu--fOunded on a law
that is a mere skeleton and which is
bound to give rise to plenty of trouble
| before things settle down into their
| normal course.
No radical action has been taken,
and none of the bills introduced have
been Of a nature to overturn the exist
ing order of things Some of them
have been bad but none of the very
bad ones have become law The two
houses nave as a rule exercised their
good sense, and where they have failed
10 do 50, the veto power has been eX
| ercised, generally with discretion
OF course there have been some
freak measures introduced, but they
have been much fewer in number than
at previous sessions, and with the eX-
ception Of the Wallach resolution, most
of them have been killed. More would
have been introduced if their wouldbe
fathers had not been led aside by wiser
members and given little curtain lee
lures.
So the 1907 session has been a pretty
good one, everything considered.

him is said to be of very damaging ma
ture. Hollis Fort Esq. will appear for
the state, while the fate of Rastus
Brown is left to the mercies of III. b.

would seem to be point in favor OF

while Jesse Glover as high sheriff will

QUITE SLOW IN GIVING
A ROUTE TO WAY
Company is Much Delayed
Thereby
SLOW PROGRESS OF SURVEYORS
Land Owners in Sumter Seem Willing
to Have Road Through Prop
erty Bul Delay in Giving
Right of Way
SLOW PROGRESS OF SURVEYORS

Delay upon the part of several land
owners near Americus in giving right
of way to the Macon, Americus & AL
bany Electric Railway is greatly hamp-
ering the work of locating the line
south of the city For more than a
week agents of the company have been
detained in Americus by failure OF
these land owners to act promptly, and
this delay is exasp perating. 1t seems
that property owners are willing for
the road to go through their lands, yet
they show no disposition to give the
land rights required. and thus have
tied up the company's representatives.
here for week or longer. This seems
wholly unnecessary, and may result
eventually in an entire change ofroute,
to the great detriment of this city and
section. The railway company is con
siderably worried over the situation
about Americus, brought about by this
condition only.

ed. This black sprinter was Ernest
Guerry, sent up from Americus for the
theft of pistol
Query escaped from the gang work
ing near Leslie where for four months
he had been ''trusty,"
But he preferred to trust to his heels
rather than dig dirt, and while Guard
Tom Godby slumbered in his tent at
the midnight hour Guerry ganged
aglee and is still ganging.
And, worst of all, he is diked out in
Goddy's Sunday suit of clothes, low
neck shoes, latticed hose and stiff
bosom shirt-a gorgeous attire for q
convict, All these he stole from Mr..
Godby's tent and in their stead left
his pile of old zebra clothes.
And maybe Guard Godby was not
mad when he found it out.
Supt. Murray stated last night that
he hoped to catch Guerry soon, as he is
easily described, being young negro,
of "a; five feet three inches tall, bright
color and unusually thick lips, He
wears an shoe, and is worth just $50
to the man who catches him.
Guerry is the nineteenth convict to
escape recently, and of this number
have only twoe Heen caught again.

The campaign of the Americus Board
of Trade is now on for two hundred
members.
The new committee on membership
of which Mr. Frank Lanier is chair
man, has gone actively to work solic
iting citizens to unite with the organ

work for the advertising and industrial
development OF the city.
IN accordance with the program de
cided upon az the meeting of the direp
tors on Monday night the imitation

porarily, and the new members will
be relieved of its payment The
monthly dues are but Sl00, and it is
felt that there should be at least one

pend that amount each month for the
advertising Of its advantages and the
inducement of capitalists to invest

PLENTY OF ROOM in
WARDS OF HOSPITAL,
Few Patients In Institution
Now.
A NUMBER is THERE RECENTLY
Popularity of Hospital is Evidenced
By Large Number of Patients
Cared For There in Recent
Months,

The city hospital, more than ever one
of the institutions of Americus, con-
tains less number of patient just at
present than for some time past, al
though during the winter season the
demands made upon it were greater
than for year or two past.
Several patients are still being cared
for there at present, although there is
room for as many more.
The hospital is justly the pride ..
every citizen OF town and county, who
are alike interested in it's success, and
its able management is subject OF
general qualification.
In point of service and equipment for
the treatment of patients. it is sur
passed by few such institutions IN the
state. All physicians in Americus and
in Sumter county are interested in its
management, and all alike contribute
to its success.
1t is an institution that must be sus.
tanned and our people will always rally
to its support financially, when called
upon.

What Can q i. Done.

'If we can get two hundred mem
bers,' said President Sheffield yester-
day afternoon, the Board of Trade
will ne in position to prosecute its
WORK vigorously and with good results.
We all realize that we should have the
services of q permanent secretary, that
is, of an experienced man whose entire
time will be given to the work of ad-
vertising Americus ard Of bringing the
advantages offered by this city and
county to the attention of the world.
We have as fine field here for invest
ment in industries as can be found in
the entire State but the public has not
been properly advised of the facts.
That IS the work the Board Of Trade
should engage in. 1t was for this that
il was organized II our citizens will
unite with us in putting the organiZa-
ton on proper financial footing we will
soon be putting in some very effective
work for the building of the city"
1t is the impression that frst-class
secretary can be secured for 81 900 for
the first year, with the understanding
that as he made good and demon
strated by results that his work was
up date and effective his salary
would be increased. With the remain
ing 5000 at its disposal, with two hun
dred members, the Board of Trade
could get out some very effective ad-
vertising matter, setting forth the ad-
vantages of this city and section in an
admirable manner,
If you are not already a member of
the Board of Trade the committee will
call on you sometime in the next few
days. Gave i'll your name and become

feet of recent storm. Building Is
almost at stand still, teaming is
stopped. workingmen in all lines are
idle, prices Of food stuffs are jump
ing alarmingly and starvation is fac
ing the thousands of horses which do
the heavy hauling for rebuilding a
metropolis. The latter difficulty is
by far the most pressing. No hay is
being brought to San Francisco. Only
a small quantity of green product is
coming through. Potatoes and on
