port of this that this was the senti-
ment of the Hawaii Bar Association
The resolution carried.

lea was referred to the Public Lands

tain industries from taxation, report
ed that it had prevailed over the SEN
ate Committee in limiting the amount
of pineapple land to 40 instead of 200
/ acres The report was adopted The
copia idustry amendment to the bin
by the Senate was also objected to by
the House, but failed to be eliminated
by the committee.
The House then went into Commit
tee of the Whole to cosider House Bill
70, the Territorial appropriation bill
The bill was taken up where it was
dropped yesterday and a good deal OF
wrangling resulted over various items
The first change made in the items
today was in the pay of bailiff, libra
rian and messenger of the Supreme
Court which was raised to $50 from
$75 as in the bill.
On the item of three court steno
graphers, Rice moved to make it $17
each instead of 5000 as in the bill
,,Rawllns said these stenographer
earn 5000 and should receive it.
AS this is a $50 increase over wha
they are at present getting, Rice
motion prevailed.
On motion of Silva the Portuguese
Court Interpreter was allowed 500 in
stead of SIS as in the bill.
On the salary of District Magistrat
for Honolulu, Kaleiopu moved to max
it 1925 instead of 5000 as in the bill.
Coney didn't think Kaleiopu's argu

5000 was enough.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Af'IEhNOON SEOSlDN.
The ways and Means Committee as
the first business of the session re-
ported in favor of House Bill No. 100,
which provided that County bonds may
be sold to the Territory of Hawaii
The same committee also reported ia
vorably on House Bill 159, to enable the
counties to issue bonds for County re-
quirements. Both reports were tabled
to be considered with the bill
A joint resolution was introduced
by Smith recommending that the mem
bership of the Territorial Supreme
Court be increased from three to five
members. A copy of the resolutions
to the President, the President of the
Senate and the Speaker of the House
The resolution was adopted.
The Senate then went into Commit
tee of the Whole to consider Senate
Bill No 81, on second reading. This
was the liquor bill. Senator Woods
presided over the alterations of the
Senate in committee.
After some discussion over the meas
ure Senator Bishop moved that the
Senate amend the old law and stop the
consideration of the present meas
ure. This provoked a storm Of pro-
test from W. o. Smith. He declared
that it was insulting and contemptu-
Gus treatment of the bill after careful
consideration had been given it, He
protested against such action. Bishor
withdrew his motion and the consider
alton of the measure continued.
The discussion between Smith and
Bishop was very warm. In fact the
elder senator declared that he would
not stand for such treatment of tn,
work of the committee on the measur,
a measure which was very importan
and in which the public was great!

Helena, Mont, Feb 21.-The legis.
lature evinced it sympathy with the
striking telephone operators today
by adopting the following resolution,
introduced by Miller Of Park, for a
joint investigation:
Whereas, the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company and its employees
have disagreed upon the question OF
wages, resulting in complete ces-
sation of telephone service in this
community, and
Whereas, the state of Montana
has paid to said company large sums
quarterly for the telephone service in
the state house under contract and
said contract has been for the past
four days entirely ignored by the
telephone company, causing loss and
great inconvenience to every de-
partment of the state government,
and,
sWhereas, the said company is al
legged to have refused each and every
request Of its employees for living
wages or to submit the question to
impartial arbitration, and is further
alleged to be making no effort to ar
rive at a settlement Of the difficulty
and a resumption Of its service, there
fore be it,
"Resolved. that the speaker be and
is hereby authorized, to appoint q
committee of three to act with a like
committee from the senate to thor
oughly investigate every feature Of
this difficulty and report it's findings
to the legislature at as early a date
as. possible.'
The joint memorial will be read
in the senate Friday morning and il
will probably be adopted by that body
if the telephone matter has not been
adjusted.
The senate transacted a larg6
amount Of business, many house bills
being considered in committee Of the

relics, each connected with history
Among those he mentioned Winehes-
ter shell Of a 25-35 calibre bullet,
which had killed Fred Tyler. He was
not sure about the number Of relics,
and told me he would see his wife and
give me a list Of them, as she knew
where they We're buried. Adams and
/ talked in person with Mrs. Adams
about these, and they said they would
talk over tue matter during the night
and give a List next day
In another conversation Adams
said chat he had gone to Marble creek
with Simpkins, and soon after they
got there met two settlers named
Glover and Mason. 1t was agreed be-
tween Glover, Mason and Adams TO
get a claim jumper named Tyler.
They visited Tylers cabin, but they
did not find him there. They went
out a little distance from his cabin
and waited for him all day, Towards
shutdown they heard some one coming,
and one Of them remarked There he
comes.' Adams told me that at this
time he was behind a big tree, ana as
Tyler approached he leveled his Win
chester at him, stopped him and his
gun was taken from him by one OF
the gang.
"They took him to Simpkins' cabin
and kept him over night. The follow
ing morning they took him in the
woods, and when they thought they
had gone far enough they stopped
and Adams said 4 shot him, and the
body was left between two logs. He
said he talked with Tyler during the
night, and asked him why he had
come to Marble creek. Tyler refused
to give any information, and Adams
told me he believed the killing OF
the claim jumpers Boule and Tyler
was justified. He told me that he told
Simpkins of the crime, and he and
Simpkins had to leave Marble creek
for a day or two. On their return
to the district Simpkins, Adams, Clio
yer and another man met Boule and
another man on the trail and killed
Boule. He then left the Marble creek
country and returned to Denver
Confirmed by Whitney.
! Warden Whitney, of Boise peniten
tiary, testified in the afternoon and
confirmed a similar confession made
by Adams to him at different times
differing only in that Tyler was led
forth at the end of rope and shot
on given signal. Adams had also
referred to the cartridge that killed
Boule, to Whitney in the presence OF
/ Mrs Adams.

PASSES ! THE BILLION MARK
Present Session Of Congress Generous
in Making Appropriations.

Mr.. Sulzer made bitter complaint OF
the refusal to Mr.. Clark Of the privt-
lege of making a 30-minute speech
on the bill, even going SO far as to
serve notice that "unless fairer con,
sideration was accorded the minority
the bill would still be on the ways at
noon on March A., That Mr.. Su1zer
was not without support was soon
made evident by a number of points
of order made by Mr.. Clark.
When the paragraphs <appropriating
$4,000 for the protection of Casa
Grande ruins in Pinal county, Arizo.
ma, were reached Mr.. Sulzer spoke OF
the skeletons found in those ruins
and said:
"Here $4,000 is appropriated for the
erection of a lot of skeletons in the
Smithsonian Institution, while the
needy employees of the government
the life saving service and the other
branches, are knocking at the doors
for an increase of salary. I am fol
the living, not for a lot of people who
lived in the palezoic age, and the
$4,000 would help out a lot Of peo
pie"
Mr. Mann of Illinois offered ar
amendment which was adopted. ap
propriating $4,000 to enable the in
terstate commerce commission to in
vestigate block signals systems and
appliances for the automatic contro
of railroad trains.

Washington, Feb. 21-The sundry
civil appropriation bill was consid.
cred by the house today. By vote
of 165 to Al general debate was clos
ed and the bill was taken up under
the five-minute rule.
Forty pages had been read when
Mr.. TaWney again asked unanimous
consent that the first reading be dis
pensed with, but objection was made
by Mr.. Clark of Florida, and the
clerk resumed his reading with as
much rapidity as he could command.
The bill contains 1913 pages, and as
no amendments could be offered on
the first reading the house was COM
peeled to listen to the clerks voice fer
about three hours. When 80 pages
of the bill had been read, Mr.. Griggs
of Georgia moved that further re7.fi-
ing be suspended Mr.. Sulzer VINO
compelled the first reading OF the
bill agreed to this, but Mr.. Tawney
turned the tables by objecting and
the reading of the bill was resumed.
Speaker Cannon, apparently much
displeased, held an animated conver-
sation with Mr.. Clark Of Missouri, in
sisting that the near approach OF ad-
iournment did not warrant such a
waste of time.
AT 2:50 o'clock the reading was
completed. Mr.. Tawney began gener-
al debate by statement of the pro-
visions Of the budget, which carries
S1O4, 100000 in round numbers.
Mr.. Tawney startled the house as
he told to what lengths the appro-
priations by this congress had gone,
and impressive1y said that a rough
estimate of the appropriations al
ready made and to be made showed
that this last session of the Fifty
ninth congress would mount up to
81, ,0O5,244,46s, the largest by many
millions Of any session. He said II
next years revenue did not increase
the treasury Of the United States
was facing a deficit of one hundred
millions at the close Of the fiscal yeal
1908. He appealed to the patriotism
of the house to do nothing to increase
the vast aggregate.
The house entered on consideration
of the bill under the five-minut'
rule.

fewer orders. On our lines we will
finish the work we have under way,
and that is all.
This movement toward economy
is scarcely perceptible, but it should
be sufficient to relieve the strain from
congested business. In a way it is a
good thing. It is better SO, as the
curtailment is gradual.
"The first tendency is toward the
curtailment Of luxuries. Then there
will be falling off in the amount of
manufactured articles. This will
continue during the coming months.
But so far as concerns the future, the
year 1908 may be hard one, and
then many men may be out of employ
ment."

New York, Feb. 21.-James ]. Hill,
president of the Great Northern, who
has returned from st. Paul, expressed
the conviction yesterday that the tide
Of prosperity is turning and that there
are indications o. significant recess
sion in business.
General policies Of retrenchment
are under way said Mr.. Hill. LESS
money is to be spent on new works.
The effect of this movement is being
felt at the present time in the falling
off of orders. The beginning of this
movement is very evident in Chicago.
While I would scarcely call it re-
cession in business. it is more of a
drawing in. The railroads are cur
failing their expenses and placing
