MILEAGE BOOK SALES.
Have Fallen OF Eighty Per Cent. by
TWO Cent Fares.

TWO Cent Fares.
Sales of mileage books within the
state Of Pennsylvania have fallen off
eighty per cent. since the twocent a
mile passenger fare law BECAME eff
fective, and it is doubtful whether
many Of the roads win continue the
sale Of this form of ticket after the
first Of the year While ii was orig
inaY intended TO continue the use OF
mileage books until tn. question OF
abolishing this form of ticket will be
discussed at the. December meeting Of
the Contra Passenger association
some time ago this matter was
discussed and the officials figured that
with the two-cent a mile fare law in
effect the sale OF mileage would grad
ualIy decrease until the demand won
be so small that the roads would not
be justified in issuing them, High
passenger officials hold that the sales
of mileage books will not likely be-
come lower than at present. They
claim that commercial travellers are
about the only people who use this
form Of ticket Nothing is saved in
interstate travel by purchasing mile
age books, but commercial men figure
the books are much more convenient
than the regular tickets.
Since the excess charge OF $40 has
been eliminated many eli the roads are
anxious to abolish the mileage books
ard this matter has been discussed in
a formal way at a number of meetings
of high railroad officials. Rate clerks
have completed their work of revis-
ing through rates on the basis of two
cents a mile, but the new schedule
OF sales will not become effective
until the supreme court decision re-
gardiug the two-cent a mile law in
Pennsylvania is rendered.

sion Thursday night Mayor Harrison

Moler avenue to Benders Addition
Referred to street committee.
The report of the arbitrators in the
Stewart damage case was received
and council ordered the award Of $3.50
damages paid. The counclmen ex-
pressed themselves 10 the effect that

all justified by the damages that the
Stewart heirs really sustained.
The building associations were no
tilted to vacate the board Of trade
rooms by April /
Councilman Stewart, Of the fourth
ward, reported that he had the pave
nent Of the John Haley heirs laid ON
xEiast Liberty street and asked the
mayer to take legal steps to recover

the same from the heirs.

49, To Stop Splitting.
The ordinance committee vas au- /
thorized TO prepare an ordinance pro- I
hibiting splitting on the pavements
within the CORPORATION. 1t is alto
gether likely that such an ordinance
viii be quickly passed and then rig
idly enforced. There can be no argu I
mem against It, but on the other hand |
there IS every reason for it, and Mar
tinsburg is simply following the ex-
ample of other towns and cities
throughout the country.

TWO BILLS TABLED
The Finance committee recommended
tabling House Bill 237, which puts a
license fee on junk dealers of $3.50 a
year, as tending to give a monopoly to
certain large junk dealers. The report
was adopted.
House Bill $50, relating to the pay
ment OF salaries and wages of officials
and employees, was also tabled as be-
ing no improvement on the present law.
LITTLE TO DO.
The Chair remarked that he would
entertain a motion to adjourn until
this morning, the work Of the House be-
ing light and the long recess being
necessary to give the conference com
m1ttees time to work. At present there
are only fifteen House bills and FIVE
Senate bills in the hands of the com
mlttees and there are seven days to
handle these.
The motion was accordingly put and
carried.

CLAIM FOR POLICE INJURY

Although the Speaker announced that
it was a late hour in which to intro
duce a resolution and bill, Sheldon pre-
sented one to compensate Esther X.
Baker and David K. Baker for damages
committed by Arthur NJ. Brown, High
Sheriff of the Territory, acting under
the instructions of Alatau T. Atkinson,
Superintendent of Education, and of
Lorrin A Andrews, Attorney General,
and to compensate and relieve these of
fcials from the judgment against them
in the courts. The trespass consisted in
an attempted expulsion of Mrs. Baker
and her husband from certain school
premises at Ala-e, in September 1908.
The amount of damages claimed in the
bill is $500, of which $4,000 represent
the Judgment against the ex-officials,
given in January 1905.
TAKING GOVERNOR s ADVICE.

this Legislature, and in disregard of
the duty which said Board owes to the
unfortunate persons afflicted with lep-
rosy and by law placed under the care
of said Board;
"And Whereas, By reason of the fact
that this session of the Legislature is
nearly at an end, insufficient time re-
mains for carefully considering and
proper action to be taken regarding
the aforesaid refusal of said Board;
"Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, by the
House of Representatives of the Leg
islature of the Territory of Hawaii, the
Senate concurring, That the action of
the Board of Health of the Territory
of Hawaii in refusing as aforesaid the
request of the Legislature, that J. Lor
Wallach be permitted to treat certain
persons suffering with leprosy for
certain time, with view toward af
fecting their cure and establishing, IT
possible, the fact of the existence of
remedy for said disease, be strongly.
condemned as wholly disrespectful and
insulting to the deliberate opinion and
Judgment of the Legislature of the
Territory Of Hawaii, unjustifable, ar
bitrary and despotic, uncharitable, and
in utter and merciless disregard of the
desire of these unfortunate persons to
receive such treatment, and their hope
thereby to find for themselves and for
those likewise afflicted, cure for the
aforesaid disease;
F'And Be It Further Resolved, That
the next Legislature of the Territory
of Hawaii be requested to consider this
matter and to take in connection
Herewith, such action as to such Leg
islature shall then appear proper;
And Be It Further Resolved, That
copy of this resolution be sent to
said Board of Health.'
He fouted the reasons given by the
Board of Health and demanded why
the man should not have been given
trial.
"On account of this action of the
Board of Health there is now doubt
in. all our minds that this man can
cure leprosy,' he said and the House
kokuaed.
Rice called for an aye and no vote
and the rollcall found the members
unanimous in condemning the Board.
Kaleiopu said he had presented the
resolution because of the relations ex-
listing between the House and the
Board He reviewed the whole Wal
ZACH affair to date, and demanded why
the Board of Health, small depart
ment and a part of the Government,
should have defed the House and set
itself up to insult the members.
sFSome of us may be back here in
the next Legislature and then this mat
ter can be taken up and the Board
Of Health dealt with,' he threatened.
