NORTHUMBERLAND DAY.

The defea. of Castro's bill, intended
to benefit the small farmers by exempt.
ing their lands from taxation up to
twenty acres, was the feature OF the
House session on Saturday. Rice, of
Kauai, led the attack and was support
ed by some of the Oahu members.
In this particular, whatever may
have been the merits or dement's of the
bill under discussion, 1t was most no.
ticeable how little in harmony and how
lacking in team play is the Oahu dele
CATION, while the contingents from the
other islands work as units, play into
each others hands and never disagree
on the floor of the House. In the vote
on Castro's bill, Hughes found it
necessary to ask questions even on the
third reading, questions which Rice an
swered SO that Hughes vote went
against his colleague from the Fourth.
Oahu's delegation does not let its right

hand is trying to accomplish.

MESSAGE SENT ON
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
URGES LEGISLATION TO ENABLE
UNITED STATES TO GET SHARE
OF TRADE WITH SOUTH AMER
IcA AND THE ORIENT.

Washington, January 23.-The President
today sent a message to Congress calling
attention to the great desirability of en-
actment of legislation to help American
shipping and American trade by encour-
aging the building and running of lines Of
large and swift steamers to South Amer
lea and the Orient. The urgent need OF
our country making an effort to secure
something like its share of its own car
rying trade on the ocean has been called
to his attention, the President says, In
striking fashion by the experiences of
Secretary Root ON his recent South
American four State aid to steamship
lines. the President says, is as much a
mart of the commercial system of today
as state employment of eonsuls to pro-
mote business The President says that
the proposed law which has been dis
cussed in Congress is In no sense expert
mental. 1t is based on the best and most
successful precedents, as, for intance, the
recent Cunard contract with the British
government The President discusses the
hin now before the committee, and says:
"It would surely be dscreditable for us
IN surrender to our commercial rival the
ereat commerce Of the Orient, the great
commerce we should have with South
America and even our communication
with Hawaii and the Philippines.

SERVICE MEN-EMPLOYEES AND
SOU. EXPRESS MGR. ARRESTED.

Mobile, January 23.-Secret service men
from Washington, aided by customs Of
ficials of this city, made a raid on the
printing office of the Honduras Lottery
company in this city and conliseated
everything in the establishment ana
caused the arrest OF II. L. Pinac ana
Lewis Graham of New Orleans, and eigh-
teen employees including pressmen, print
ers and packers. The rail was made at
a late hour last night and the OFFICIALS
and men were detained In the office OF
United States Marshal @. b. Deans until
this morning. They were allowed to go
on bonds until the district attorney fixes
a date for hearing before the United
States commissioner.
The raid was planned number OF
months ago, but evidence sufficient to
convict the members of the company OF
n violation of the interstate commerce
act was not secured until last night. The
boat bringing the list of drawings ar
rived in Mobile yesterday and as soon
as she touched at the wharf the officers
were on the alert. They quickly saw the
work of printing going on and then fol-
lowed the packed boxes of lists to the
union depot and secured the names of
parties to whom they were shipped and
obtained the information that they were
going out of the state Of Alabama. After
securing the evidence they went directly
to the printing office and made the ar
rests, and placed a deputy marshal In
charge of the establishment.
A similar raid was fade here eighteen
months ago, when a large amount of lot
terry lists were seized on board the steam
er Hiram coming from Puerto Cortez,

leased under $500 and $1,000 bonds respec-
lively.

SENATOR BACON IS
UP IN THE AIR
Chosen to Succeed Himself, But VIII
Be Out of Business From
March q Until June.

Washington January 23.-(Special)-
Senator Augustus octsvius Bacon OF
Georgia. the treaty and general foreign
relation sharp on the democratic side is
in a freightful stew. He has been chosen
at the primaries to succeed himself in
the Senate after his present term expires
March next.
But the Senate demands appointment
by the governor or election by the state
legislature
BY a constitutional amendment Georgia
last year fixed the time for her Legislature
to meet in June. Ordinarily. Mr.. Bacon
would have been elected in November. but
now he will not be senator from March
until June.
The tough part of 1t is that Mr. Bacon
has dark designs on the Santo Domingo
treaty, which will come up in the special
session OF the Senate as soon as Congress
adiourns March and Bacon will not be
able TO say word when he has tons of
oratory stored up.
