Washington, Jan. 3.-The political
fights of the coming year will center
in New York, where all the forces of
corporate and political influence will
be narshaled against the reforms pro-
posed by Hughes. The fight is ma
tional, because If the trusts win in
New York reforms in other states will
be retarded.
Political parties are certain to un-
dergo realignment. Hughes is back
ed by Roosevelt, silent, but with
enough knowledge gained while gov
ernor to be able to aid Hughes in
definitely Many declare that Roose-
welt is largely responsible for the
Hughes message. At any rate, the
president was delighted when he found
a man full of his own ideas and strong
enough to PROFOUND them from the
executive chair CT the Empire State

street, LOBBYISTS and congressman to-
day are flooded with, entreaties to
head off Hughes At Albany senators
and assemblymen are arming for .

sincere and promises every support
which will be of the greatest value if
the republicans split at Albany on

mission and institution or a new and
more effective system on the same

NO INSURANCE ON NEGROES.
Metropolitan Gives One Reason, But
Really Has Another.

New York, Jan. 3.-The increased
death rate among negroes is the rea-
son given by the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company for refusing to
acceot more applications for policies
from them. The company now carries
more than S1,OO0,OOO worth of risks
on negro policy holders. The new or
der went into force yesterday, but
the agents assert that the reason as
signed hv the company is not the sole
one.
The agents say that the negroes
most of whom have Industrial policies
with premiums of from Is to 35 cents
por week, frequently permit their
policies to lapse, but renew them after
a short time. Upon renewals the
agents have made a percentage that
the company would have secured had
the policies not lapsed. After yes
terdaY all policies held by negroes
that are allowed to lapse will he can
celled, Notwithstanding the fact that
there is state law prohibiting nsur-
ance companies discriminating against
negroes.

Chicago, Jan. 3.--Federal Judge
Lanaes this morning sustained eight
indictments and qu9shed two against
the Standard, overrullng the demur-
rcrs and refusing the indemnity bath
such as the packers received. The
trial will proceed upon eight indict-
ments.
The defendants contend that the
new law extinguished the penalties
imposed by the Elkins law. Lands
held that such an Interpretation of the
intentions of congress is inconceiva-
BILE, and fully sustained the conten-
tions of the government attorneys.
The court held that indictments are
sufficient in averring that the defend
ants property was transported at
preferential rates. The court said:
"Cougress wants TO bring about rea-
sonable rates for shippers; not some
shippers, but all shippers, and con-
gress knew the abolition of proferen-
tials is an essential prerequisite to
this"
He declared the law operative
against consignee and consignor alike
throwing out the contention that the
Standard was only a consignee."

been highly appreciated by the public.
The reason for taking it out Of service
at this time, is that the business of
the wirter season does not Justify the
expense Of the extra train, and while
no promises are made by the o. II. &
NJ, it is thought the passenger serv-
ice will he revived next summer when
the busy season opens.
The addition of regular Sunday

So numerous are the complaints
filed against the Seattle Electric COM
yany tor damages each month that
practically no attention is paid to
them, and little space is devoted to
them in the newspapers of the city.
I'or this reason few people have an
idea of the great amount of litigation
that the company is forced into as a
result Of the alleged negligence of its
officers and employees
The statistics secured by an eXami-

At the council meeting last night
plans for further paving work were
discussed, and If the outlook is as
favorable as it seems, a district equal
in size to the present paved one will
be improved during the coming year.
In answer to the recent advertisement
of the city the Warren company pre-.
sented a bid for paving the block be-
tween Alta and Cottonwood streets.
The bid price on the bitulithic pave
ment was s2.17 per square yard. while
the company again offered to maintain
the pavement for ~ cents per square
yard per annum.
No definite action was taken upon
the bid, and it is probable the work
will be deferred until spring. Mr.
Achby, now in charge of the compa--
nys affairs here, stated the Warren.
people would prefer to wait. Also, it
is desired by the street committee to
save the block and include lie later in
a district to reach from Main to Vim
cent street. 1t was announced last
night that the property owners on
Alta between Cottonwood and john
son desire paving, likewise that the
Oregon Lumber company wished to
nave their block improved. In view
of these facts the committee hopes to
have the entire street improved, as
they have practically three blocks out
Of the five already favorable.
Mayor Fee also stated last night
that w. S. Byers was willing to pave
another block on East Court street
provided the city would pave the
squares. it is also hoped that the
block on Vincent street between Court
and Alta can be paved so as to furnish
a connection between the streets.
Mayor DisJikes Gutter Work.
Some little excitement was created
last evening when the proposition of
accepting the Court street paving
work was presented by the street COM
mittee. At the instance of the coun-
Gil H. o. Moussu recently made an
inspection of the curb and gutter
work On that thoroughfare. Last
night he made a written report de-
claring the same to be satisfactory
Accordingly a resolution accepting
the entire work WAS presented hy the
street committee.
Gentlemen. l am sorry. but 1 cam
not agree with you on this. and am
going to veto that" declared the
mayor. However, the committee stood
firm and when the resolution was
placed on final passage it received the
vote Of every member present The
same thins occurred when the resolu-
f1Nn
